He never shuts up. Could talk underwater. Talk through wet cement. Bloody hell. I remember being caught with him on one side & some other bloke who wouldn't shut up too on the other. Between the three of us we never heard a word the other bugger said.

I found out the hard way when he went back to Glenelg. He hates training & sometimes just doesn't turn up & when he is there he only goes half pace. He got dropped for a few games due to his attitude & was told if he didn't fall into line he'd be playing finals in the reserves

Such a pity. Had all the tools, though maybe not quite tall enough to reach the highest level. Guess KB nailed it at the time when he told him he had to lose weight to get drafted. Red flag.

He is also a real estate agent for jones , selling a few the other week in Frankston
What’s he getting? Looking at Port Fairy’s track record over the past few seasons it seems to be risky putting all their eggs in one basket. Although he could be a chance to excel at that level.

Josh Kennedy continues with his ambassadoring, currently leveraging his Colombian connections to broker AFL's entry to Colombia.

If only he played in our last GF...JHC - look at his bloke!
Maybe he was on too much money for us Vs expected output....but FMD didn't we say just two years ago we lacked big bodies in the midfield to win a GF?

Unsure if previously mentioned, but Sam Naismith's landed a job as the ruck coach at Freo. Got some pretty handy cattle to work with, too.

For Shaw: Suns appoint ex-Roos coach in history-making move
Rhyce Shaw is set to take over as the Suns' AFLW coach
www.afl.com.au
Rhyce Shaw to be named GC Suns AFLW coach on a 4 year contract.
'Shaw's involvement with the future core of Gold Coast's AFLW playing group through his role in the Academy program is said to have been a significant factor in the club pinpointing him as its next women's coach.'
Previously coaching director for the Suns academy covering both girl and boys.
Will be the first person to lead AFL and AFLW programs on a full-time basis (obviously previously NM men's senior coach).
Always had a soft spot for Rhyce.
I've no doubt he'll do well in the role.

I'm jealous! Lucky them. (Happily I think Scotty Gowans does a great job too and, as we know, we can't have everyone!)

I’ll forever view Luke Parker as a Swans great.
Tough (oh so tough), durable, committed, professional, 3 Skilton Medals, 5 Brett Kirk Medals and a premiership player.
One of my favourite Swans & I don’t begrudge him a couple of twilight playing years at another club. Lots of top players do it - and it can help broaden perspectives and insight if there’s ambitions of an executive, coaching or development role down the track.
I’d love to see him back at the Swans in a leadership & development role once his playing days are over.
