Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[StonesThrow]

Better shape than 99.9% of this board?

Doubtful.

Confident I'm in far better shape than him & I'm nearly twice as old as him.

It's a shame he is yet another highly talented player who has wasted his career, particularly after being offered a lucrative contract.

A 54 year old bloke who spends most of his time on an internet forum is in far better shape than an afl footballer.

I'm not 54.

I exercise every day & confident i could out run Gov.

He would have me covered with weights.

How much do you run daily? That’s a big call to make vs an afl footballer

Haven’t seen anything by the Crows.

Not looking hard enough. It's on all platforms.

Comments about him being a fat sloth are made relative to other footballers. I imagine he'd stack up well against your average Joe.

No doubt, but I reckon there would be more than 0.1% on here that would be fitter than him.

Any ways, he is the professional athlete & has wasted his talent due to a lack of dedication.

Bris & Carl as well, probably every club is doing it.

 

[cmndstab]

I wish I was a tenth as fit as McGovern, lol.

Ellis-Yolmen, idiot. Only needed two more matches to get to 50 games, haha.

At least in his case he's probably not costing himself much footy by going down this road. Doubt he was going to get picked much.

Absolutely. The average punter couldn't survive 3 preseason sessions at AFL Level.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I can't see one on Collingwood's site.

 

[ad victoriam]

Surely we are better than constant fat jokes for Mcgovern who is likely to be in better shape than 99.99% of this board.

I don't like that he left either but it's getting a bit tragic now years later.

On SM-A325F using BigFooty.com mobile app

99% doubtful.
Also, you should be comparing Apples for Apples,
At McGovern age, I would leave him behind when it comes to Fitness and Endurance. And I was not getting paid the money he Is or even near what the equal would be back then.
Today yes he would be healthier than Me But then again I am way past my prime.

Australia day is one day I stay of socials. Cringe everywhere.

In what way?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Fair enough. I'll delete my post.

 

[StonesThrow]

In what way?

It does my head in on both sides of it. Nothing changes and people are more outraged than before.

Is there another date being proposed?

We should ditch the monarchy & on that day we have a new day of celebrating this great country.

We can then ditch the Queen's Birthday & have a reconciliation day to recognise our indigenous (the day Rudd said sorry & many marched across the Sydney Harbor bridge).

Champ. Im sure if you were paid $700k a season, you would be dropping serious weight.

When you're given a 5 year deal you only need to worry about dropping weight when it's time to get a new contract.

I'd be fine with that.

Sign a treaty with the indigenous nations and formally cut our ties with the old country, and celebrate that day. It can be whatever date you want.

Clearly, you didn't look very hard.
