Past #8: Daniel Wells - joins Collingwood as a FA - North get pick #32 as compensation

[muttley45]

Why didn't the club come out and defend him then?

Because flying the flag is s**t

 

[Rooboy 96]

Did he run over your cat or something?

nope just am sick to death of 13 years of lackluster performances by this guy, If you want a positive about Drew at least he kicks straighter now then when he started.

I think he crumbles under pressure and when talented players man him up. watch him not get a touch this week against Geelong. Harry will dominate him and Drew will have potshot at Majak if he is there.

 

[Harris 10]

Serious questions need to be asked from Brayshaw and the board about all levels of this club.

Whilst I think the time is right to hang up the boots, I think you're being a bit harsh.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Shocking management. Really ordinary.

Is anything going right at the moment?

 

[Roo Beauty]

I think he's played his last game.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Maybe, he has been a great servent of the club, but is that what a nearly 300 game player should be remembered for. Greig won Brownlows and Premierships, Harvey Grant Blakey Arch Simmo Martyn Schimma all won a premiership or two, what has Drew done? he gets up for every game, maybe I am just in a shitty mood, and my whipping boy is Drew.

 

[Saintly31]

Looks in terrible shape.

Just a massive disappointment really, the club using this as a some kind of positive is laughable.

 

[Contra Mundum]

He won't play again next year and might not ever come back - another reason to forget this year

 

[roos_fanatic08]

put a fork in him.

Do I detect some inner scrotum news here that Wellsy is done, or you all just guessing?

Last person to ask him a serious question was Euge and he was run out the door.

I think JB's greatest achievement was getting Euge to the club, who in his short period got things done. We have been plateauing ever since.

 

[Engimal]

God damn Euge was the ****, wasn't he?

 

[koshari]

We need euge back at tbe club. Get it done Euge.

 

[Engimal]

I wish. Euge was, all jokes aside, the kind of guy who always got s**t done.

 

[tazaa]

Funny Euge got the cut down in Launceston on that dark day.
Looking back now 3 years on, so much of the past three seasons will make plenty of sense in years time when all the inner workings come out about his departure.

Which begs the question what is Geoff Walsh doing? Is he watching key figures at he club continue to dig themselves into a hole so that its easier to initiate change?

The reality is we know * all. But alas the club has been doing * all so we must be right about everything else :rolls eyes

 

[DarkPhoenix]

People being pretty quick to take the side of a journo that normally makes them vomit reading the s**t he spouts.

Hmmm

"Home now after minor Achilles surgery!! Hopefully be back soon"

Don't articulate it Tas because then I will have to think about it -- and then agree with you! The thing Euge did not do is treat us all like idiots - it felt like he was one of us

 

[Dirty_11]

Another question for the club. Why has Wellsy only gone into surgery now?

 

[BeechyMagpie]

Another question for the club. Why has Wellsy only gone into surgery now?

That would be my first question - why has it taken 12 weeks of 'rest' before surgery? Even if it is minor, why was it not done all those weeks ago. I do feel sorry for him now. Lot of people have had a lot shots at a guy who has never done anything wrong by your club or the AFL and after all that, he still needed an Op.

 

[Gasometer]

Disgraceful.

I said it Rd 2...this injury is problematic. ..full rest and or sugery.

Should have treated it as though he did the whole deal and have come back in 2016.

 

[SMaturin]

God dammit - this is reaching flip out point. What have the football dept got right this year? Name me one thing.

Very true. I remember he did an online chat once during the 2012 trade period when we had a lot of players wanting out of the club, with open questions from fans. He was very honest and never bullshitted anyone or tried to backpedal/deflect. One person got on and said they loved everyone at the club, and he said he loved all the fans. It felt honest. Miss the guy.

We beat *

And bloody Richmond
