Seems not many opposition club supporters rate him as a top class player, maybe only we get to appreciate his greatness

When he breaks the all time games record opposition fans will HAVE to give him the respect he deserves even if they may not want to.

 

[liamiefor3]

Yeah bit of a hate fest this season throughout the afl on the back of the Crowley and rockliff incidents as well as the suspensions. I agree Augustine once he plays his 400th the respect will come from everywhere

 

[kangaspurs]

Whats the bet his 400th will be at Canberra against the Giants. i hope its at Etihad against the * in the week they all get suspended and we beat them by 693 points and Boomer has the 400th celebration he deserves.

Surely the afl will schedule our fixture so that if boomer doesn't miss any games next season he will play the game in Melbourne. This milestone is just that rare

Yeah they should give us nothing but Melbourne games just to be on the safe side :stern look

 

[liamiefor3]

Haha (;

The worst part about Boomer's 400th will be that some of the celebration will be flattened by Fletcher already celebrating his.

Don't worry too much just yet. Hasn't even signed on for 2015 yet.

Hopefully AFL gives us a string of say 3-4 Mel games in a row at the time to make sure Boomer's lands there barring long stint on sidelines.

 

[Liam Boy]

Fletcher won't make it. If the players get banned, he'll be one of them that gets banned, and if they don't he'll struggle to keep his spot. I think he'll fall short.

 

[liamiefor3]

Agreed, fletcher looks shot

Huh? I'm pretty sure Fletcher's one of the few to not have received a show cause notice. It's like him, Zahrakis and a few others.

 

[shintemaster]

Would love to see it at the MCG.

 

[numchuks]

Plz make his 400th against the Dogs.

Just for the lulz.

Fletcher confirmed to play on

Oh, that's kind of surprising.

How did ASADA even know which players to serve them to? Even with Zaharakis, they were only going by his claim that he's afraid of needles

I'm pretty sure there was significant evidence that certain players such as Zaharakis and Fletcher didn't participate in the supplements program, regardless of its legality.

Right. How would members of the general public such as myself know that, foolish thing for me to assume.

 

[KangaFan35]

Doesn't matter, as terrible as Essendons backline is, they don't need Fletcher anymore, Harvey is still winning games and in some of his best form. If Boomer does get the record, he would have deserved it.

 

[jclei]

Fletcher is going to limp to the line and really if * had improved in the last 6 - 7 years under knights and *golden boy, Fletcher would have retired years ago.

Boomer will sprint across the 400 game line, feign a handball and snap off his left from 40 out to kick his third for the game

 

[Luke72]

I'm sure they are propping Fletcher up to try and get a good news story out of Windy Passage. They record is Boomers for the taking and I'm sure the will have Tucky there to shake his hand as he is chaired of the ground triumphantly

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hopefully I've not mozzed Boomer but I can see him playing until the end of this decade.

Gee there were some shocking posts about him after round one.
