News Wiggins given Life Membership

[Pamam]

So....the Chief has been given Life Membership due to his 8 years service with the blues

fantastic news.....wish him the best for the 2009 season....lets hope he continues on from playing his best footy in 2008

Go the Wiggler!!

Congratulations to Chief.

The perfect example of someone that doesn't necessarily have good skills but is willing to work hard to achieve his goal.

100 games is a huge achievement for him, and coming off his best season let's hope he at least continues this form into the future. If he does, he'll be kept as a depth player at the very least.

Well done Wiggo - you now have your name etched into Carlton history forever, with your name proudly displayed on the #34 locker. You have done this club proud.

Here's hoping for another 47 games to reach the 150

Hear hear!

You just cant fault this blokes passion.

 

[MBIB]

Really glad that this guy will always be associated with the club. Great battler, love the heart. Go Wiggy!

 

[HBF]

He bleeds Navy Blue, and thoroughly deserves this life membership. Well done Chief.

 

[Warsaw]

Fantastic bloke, Much deserved. Salute the Chief.

 

[blues4flag]

Well deserved. While not the most talented, you'd be hard stretched to find a better clubman.

Sticks' first real decision as Pres lol. He loves the Chief.

Seriously, Wiggins seems like a real clubman. Heart and soul of the club type...a bit like Rhino was.

Does anyone know if he was inducted under a set criteria. Is it 100 games?( surely it would be 200 for life membership) or years of service?(is 8 years service automatic) or some other reason?

Well done to Cheif ...

it's great having a football fan forum - where differing club support can come together and discuss topics.

 

[The Cranium]

[Jock]

A la the Rhino - good effort

Looking at the Sticks 100 game presentation it's hard to think there is a more popular fella down at Visy.

 

[walshy93]

Surprised Chief, the most stable genius, hasn't dropped by to take said credit.

 

[walshy93]

Well Done, Wiggo, keep on keeping on buddy.

 

[Dramoth]

Well done the wiggler

I hope he can get his 200 up a lot quicker than it took him to get to 100.

I believe it was for senior representation over 8 consecutive seasons.

I did a bit of background research, and it turns out he was actually eligible under two criteria:

Clause 2(a): A player may be automatically inducted if said player is made of pure awesome and wears 24 carat gold pants.

Wiggins is, and does.

Also:

Subsection 4(b): A player may be inducted if he serves a minimu-WIGGINS!!!!!11!

As you can see, he fits the bill on both counts.

 

[Goals are that way]

Great bloke and hope he plays in our premiership side

 

[Staaar_Blue]

Go the Chief!! Expecting big things from Simon next year and beyond. He has all the essentials to be a great lead up smaller type forward and his strength getting better will only be better for him when playing one on one. Will be in our 22 for a while I think.
