I was just searching his previous posts to see what must have caused it and it was either a) A ridiculous decision or b) the posts were deleted. Shocked me too.

We need a natural crumber. Dont care what colour his skin is. It just so happens that aboriginal blokes have a certain creative spark and feel for the game which is so critical to that role. Some white guys have it but harder to find in them.

Lecca and McKinley are not crumbers.

Agreed "TOA" ! We need a crumber who can get the ball and kick goals , a Phil Matera or a Tony Evans would do just fine !

I may be wrong Trumby, but I think people are referring to Jeff Garlett, wingman in Swans league team.

Not sure many, barring a few obsessed ones, know about Clinton, who I presume, is the AIS scholarship holder from Swannies you are referring to?

yeah clinton the one in the afl/ais thingy, he plays for swan districts (colts i think) and for carey park in the swfl.

can someone please confirm which one that we may be looking for, please.

Wirra wont retire after this year. Hes in awesome form. Why would he retire?

Kerr is Indian/Aussie.

Sri Lankan I think.

Sri Lankan I think.

No, he's Anglo Indian: http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/what-makes-him-run/2007/04/13/1175971352183.html

Cause his body might stop before his mind does Embers.

Cmon man, they dont last forever.

i gather that he is already planning his foray in to politics. Perhaps Australia's first indigenous prime minister? He has been great this year and if he was up for another year we could hardly say no. Would love to get him onboard as a youth or defence coach after retirement as his onfield and off-field characteristics are a shining example for young kids (especially Vics as he could show them how he got over his homesickness) and you would be hard pressed to find a nicer bloke.

I thought that this young Garlett had a really odd name like Cruize or something ?
