News Kersten walks

[Taylor]

But it doesn't mention that, if it was because two more forwards arrived it would just say that. Its alluding to something around the Lachie departure, would love to know what it is but doubt that's happening anytime soon.

No he wouldn't. It's the lead story because it's there to get clicks. You see how Connor extending his stay is way down the page.

Nobody clicks on "191cm C grade key forward finds himself behind 207cm contested mark and Jesse Hogan, cops it on the chin and settled in to see out the rest of his contract before delisting."

 

[Taylor]

Pretty sure footy players don't sook and mope when more people are recruited that play the same position as them. Nor would they concede players are better than them and simply give up.

They get angry

Players get delisted every single year, how many times does the AFL media write articles hinting at disharmony between said player and coach?

Without a single quote?

Sometimes I think Ross Lyon should just move his management over to C Sports and suddenly all of this disappears.

So I take that as not many times. Thanks.

Would say combination of:
- not happy with medical treatment or inability to have further surgery that he wants (Colin Young is a leaking toss bag with Crumpets on bloody speed dial)
- not happy that we recruited him as a fwd to hold Hamling’s bags but then move to trial him in defence with Peel in 2018
- not happy that Hogan and Lobb were recruited from the Neale trade putting him further back in the queue for forward line and having to continue to play defence (which he doesn’t like)
- bumped into Ross last time seen at Cockburn in Feb and told Ross he was a dickhead and was told by RTB to lose his budding boobs

Finally - Let’s not forget when Peter Bell arrived there were questions then whether MIA TBA Kersten was to be delisted. I remember Bell was quite shrewd in his response saying “he has a contract doesn’t he!”

I'm clarifying, because there were some around Kyle Remiers and that was only because there was the supplements saga colouring the story.

Have to take your word on Reimers, don't know anything about his departure.

I could imagine Ross telling him his attitude stinks and it’s players like him that don’t put it the effort that caused Lachie to leave

Could very well be just that, what it isn't is simply because Hogan and Lobb arrived.

Your wording is better than my fourth point above but you summed up that point quite well.

 

[stax on the mull]

Do you think anything Ross might have said to Shane Kersten would be commensurate with the abuse he copped from "fans".

 

[malpaso]

This thread is the most attention Kersten has got his whole career..

 

[Superkoops]

I still want the club interviewer in the injury report to ask Webber how Kersten is coming along. The clip might go viral now.

 

[malpaso]

Any proof that you need that the media are driving nails into Freo at the moment. They have Kersten leaving as the top article on AFL.com.au and Blakely's re-signing for 3 years buried down below the podcast bar..

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Blakely re-signs, Kersten quits...


Well I much rather the shit players on our list having issues with Ross rather than the good ones lel

 

[stax on the mull]

Fox's take on it is even weirder (including scooping Fremantle on its own delisting announcements).

That article was suppose to damage Lyon.

Kersten is managed by Colin Young.

Ahhhhh now that makes some sense out of that.

Absolute bottom feeder

Should’ve done it. Knew this would happen. Rosich isn’t as ruthless now.
Kersten, Ballas and Bennell would’ve saved us 500k you'd think. Absolute spuds hogging the list.

Look how that panned out.

It’s a Tom Morris article, read into what you will

Mitch Cleary mentioned a similar story on SEN. Apparently, Ross hasn't spoken hardly at all to him this year after that.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Surely it couldn't be $160k stopping Neale staying with us. Calling BS on the article (or our management are ******s)

 

[Nothing]

The writing was on the wall for Kersten when I became his buddy.

After seeing out the careers of scapegoats Creepy and DP, I think I'll take an easier option this year.

Kersten
Ballas
Colyer
Conca
McCarthy
Matera

I can't see a scapegoat amongst them.

Farewell, may you enjoy your future, free from the shackles of being my buddy.
