Ovens & Murray discussion 2023

[that was out of bounds]

Great way to make a quid, and all the contacts they’d make along the way, good on them.

Do NT teams give them work for a while or do they FIFO?

 

[harsh. but fair]

Filo tied for fourth on 12 votes with former Rovers player Jake McQueen, winner & pre count favourite Dylan Landt won on 23 votes.

I don’t know how these Vic players play a full season down here, April to September, then go up for a full season up north over summer in the heat, then come straight back & straight into another full season in Vic. Credit to them.

I know a few blokes that have done it past couple years, you’d think they’d want a break from footy. Physically and mentally.

Yep you don't see many O&m gv and Geelong players head up there consistently, most guys struggle when they come back down after doing it a couple of times, filo gave himself a break last year, I think it helped his form and the end of the year, will be interesting to see how he goes this year

All depends on what specific player does for a living. I know a couple of players who are teachers. They went up end of 2020, ntfl clubs got them work and have ended up staying in Darwin ever since.

“Gave himself a break” code for going on a multi day bender?

He missed games against Corowa and North Albury, Crezza knew what he was doing. Raiders pushed Filo away, where as Sullivan offered support in some tough times, clubs need to be smart and pick their battles. Brodie is a ripping bloke, he’s worth fighting for.

Will the club learn and just give him a month off in June? I reckon playing footy 12 months of the year, he'd need it, that way you don't an AWOL situation again

You’d like to hope so Trent. I totally agree, body and mind probably needs the break by then, he can please himself for a few weeks with no backlash. Baz is an extremely caring and intelligent operator, Muzza is pretty sympathetic to the rigours of the game, I’m guessing this will be the path they choose.

Saves doing preseasons.

36 degrees forecast Saturday & Sunday. Tipping a few practice matches get bumped back later (or earlier) in day.

Michael Newton has been voted out of the captaincy role at the Magpies by the players, great player when he was younger but he never struck me as much of a leader. Daine Porter will take the reins. My big call is Newton will find himself in the early game at some stage this year.

Reid really looked after him with that one. A close confidant of mine eluded to the fact he was voted out by the players, make of it what you will.

Are you just disgruntled because you didnt get an invite to the wedding

Lots of past AFL players trying to sue for damages from concussions, this could get messy. We will get broke former players trying to bleed the system at country footy level. I was concussed 17 times in my playing career, I’ve probably got CTE as well, I knew the risk when I hit the battlefield. It’s ludicrous to blame your low mood and this degenerating brain disorder on an organisation. What about players who are paralysed playing the game at local level? Should they be compensated, or is that the risk they take?

I think as it's their job it's supposed to be the employers duty of care. I would suggest if max rhooke didn't have a kamikaze attack on the ball and use his body as a battering ram, he would never played AFL, we all know there's risk playing footy, whether it be concussions or broken bones or tendons that require replacements later on, we could just not have footy

I didn’t take it as gospel, just what I was told. Do you think we could find the big guy volunteering to drop back in the early game this year as work takes priority? I’d like to see him finish up out in the O&K to be honest, get a bit of a buzz back in to the league.

A couple of older connections.

He actually played ressies in his 1st year at the club. Think he might finish on a high, which would count Whorouly out.

That explains a lot.
I think you may be suffering from a long term concussion. The evidence is damming. We have clear documented conversations of continual delusional behaviour.

Seek help

Juice & the Reids? all the former rovers turned magpies reigniting TFs club! Would he forgive them then?
