News Kersten walks

[FreoRicci]

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

Knew Kersten wouldn’t get a spot with those trades coming in. Shane was lucky he was contracted this season. exacerbated with the injury he had. No chance end of the end of this season

The internet.

Wrong the internet actually helped journalism #fakenews

Kersten walks, Blakely signs for three years... Sorry Kersten but that's a good day.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

You can't sack me, I quit!

 

[_007_]

I thought he had potential as a defender. Certainly better than Hughes or Duman. Oh well.

 

[salim malik]

Obviously he was not wanted at Geelong, that's why they traded him, but you claimed that it was the same story at Geelong, meaning he had irreconcilable differences with the coach and or walked out. So do you have a source to support that, or you trying to 'spin it', like you accused me?



Read my post , I said he wasn't required at Geelong and it's now the same story at Freo.
I never mentioned reasons, comprehension is not your strong point is it.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Kersten was beyond terrible. He couldn't kick goals so he moved back. Did nothing down back and after a long injury realised he wasn't up to afl standard.

Watch zero clubs offer to draft him.

I'd be more interested in a toast Blakely thread instead of negativity from certain posters.

 

[Channels]

Ahhhhh now that makes some sense out of that.
fu** these player agents and in particular this grub.
Absolute bottom feeder

What's the back story here?

 

[aussieviking]

So what, who cares

You are so right. He did nothing and will not get picked by a good club.

That article is ****ing disgraceful. Kersten was shit but the way this club treats it's players is disgusting. Rosich needs to go and Lyon can **** off too if he won't talk to his players. Absolutely pathetic

 

[Seppo]

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

$ wasnt the issue with Neale staying. We would have had the cap to keep him.

 

[wild side]

Kersten was depth at best. Good bye!!
If we do this properly, this draft could actually be a good one for us!!
With the WA talent on offer.

 

[freo_leo29]

Sounds like Kersten is mad that we tried to dump him in order to keep Neale, (a move I fully endorse) Problem is Neale had already made his mind up that he wanted to be a lion. Lets be honest, Neale probably made the right call.

That article is ******* disgraceful. Kersten was s**t but the way this club treats it's players is disgusting. Rosich needs to go and Lyon can fu** off too if he won't talk to his players. Absolutely pathetic

How do you know how the club treats it's players? You have no Idea so don't pretend you do.

I have personally bumped into Micky Walters as he lives up the street from me and we have been children who attend the same school and his love for Freo and the club is real.

People with agendas make shit up because it makes them feel good. I'm not pro Lyon, Rosich, S and C staff etc but this is utter bullshit

 

[Tyler from Fremantle]

A player who is virtually universally acknowledged as no longer part of the best 22 or even included in the future planning has a gripe, and that seems like a personal issue to me, not a professional one? That to me looks exactly like a professional issue that someone is not accepting.

Anyway, best of luck to Kersten. I had hoped he would fight his way into a role at the club, but it was not to be.

Personal in the sense that two people hate each others guts, not that Kersten couldn't handle he wasn't going to get a game.

 

[wild side]

Colin Young has said Freo are going nowhere with their management of player's and injuries.
To do with Kersten leaving, he must manage him.
Why don't we just make it hard for Young, all he does is leak to Hackdorn, and plays our players off for higher bids.
He was quite close to Rosich, so God knows what's happened there ??

Hackdorn was touting Colin Young as a good candidate for Fremantle's vacant list manager position last year.

 

[Tyler from Fremantle]

That's not what you said at all, please don't lie.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

That article was suppose to damage Lyon.

Kersten is managed by Colin Young.

It's well documented that Lyon is well liked by players who are in the best 22 and in favour with the coach. Reiwoldt and Dal Santo still rave about the guy to this day after the way he walked out on them.

Trying to force a contracted player out to appease someone who wants to leave is a disgrace. They shouldn't have offered Kersten such a long contract in the first place. Not to mention he was in the team at the end of 2018 so he can't have been that shit in their eyes.

What does it do for the culture of the club if they are trying to offload people in contract to keep the high profile players?

You should have stayed with the first sentence and left the rest out...

Loooool

Offload a player who is a mature ager who is lucky to even be on an AFL list. You have to be kidding

Clubs make tough decisions and that would be a no brainer

Seriously?

Seriously?

A player who was under contract and playing in the senior team being pushed out the door in a desperate attempt to try and convince his teammate to stay is reasonable?

You really have no idea about workplace culture do you

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Look, I really, really don't understand the surprise with all this.

Ross clearly told everyone what he thought of Shane over 5 years ago...

"Is that the best question that you can come up with after two hours of footy?"

"You're quite brilliant, Shane!"
