Injury Cooked Axle

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Great Clubman.Sad way to end a career.

 

[tunksy]

time to call it a day sadly

 

[Gentlemen]

Coughlan Mk2

 

[WATiger86]

Glad he got to play in a final, even if it ended in a flogging and this:
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[TigerTime88]

Was a gun in his prime but honestly should have called it 2 years ago.

Can't begrudge him for trying to get a few extra years on an AFL list and a few more $$$$.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

s**t luck for a long time.

I prefer to think it was a genuine hope that once he got over the injury he'd be able to return to what was.

 

[Ocker]

Freezer, Cogs, Browny, Axel...sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

 

[Ralll]

Thats probably it for Axel, was a gun early on, such a shame.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Yep, not quite Coughlan level, but his on the list.

I would put Nathan Brown at the top of that list.

 

[Tigerforlife78]

Another good player struck by injury, best of luck to him for the rest of his life

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

 

[Bishop]

Such a pity, had some serious talent- but that achilles never came good

 

[Nostradumbass]

A gun footballer. Bloody shame.

 

[kozi]

Coughlan Mk2

This.

Love him and feel so bloody sorry for him the way I did about Coughlan

 

[TJTIGER]

Love Axel, Such a hard Trainer, great quality person (by all reports), great clubman........

Think of him 1 thing comes to mind. Quality, Quality, Quality....

 

[El Tigre]

I would put Nathan Brown at the top of that list.

But browny was never reeeaaally a tiges man, so i'm not as pertubed by the injury induced shortening of his career.

Freezer, Cogs, Browny, Axel...sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

Dragga?

 

[GoTigers2015]

Freezer, Cogs, Browny, Axel...sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

Marc Dragicevic another one that was cut done cruelly with 2 knee reconstructions

 

[TJTIGER]

when you start thinking about it. This a without doubt an absolutely brutal "game". Players would have to in later years question if it was worth it, when they become arthritic etc etc

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Freezer, Cogs, Browny, Axel...sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

People always forget Dragicevic too.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Freezer, Cogs, Browny, Axel...sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

Sometimes? More often than not, with us.

 

[GoTigers2015]

People always forget Dragicevic too.

Would have been a gun for us if he had stayed injury free.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Would have been a gun for us if he had stayed injury free.

He had a lot of polish that boy.

 

[GoTigers2015]

He had a ot of polish that boy.

Loved to win the hard ball too.
