Rumour Homesick 2018 Top draftee rumour

[MITSUHIRATO]

I think its Jye Caldwell - he's home sick and wants to return to home to Carlton.

 

[Seadog]

The garden state slogan should be replaced with the mummies boys state.

 

[AFDogs]

I'm absolutely sick of this homesick BULLSHIT.

It doesn't happen in ANY other sport around the world. NBA players jump from state to state almost every year. Players rarely ever request trades to their homes, they play where they are picked or where the money is at.

Harden up or GET OUT OF THE AFL.

 

[StCicatriz]

ben king is close to signing an extension. so its not him

 

[Big_Birdy]

Top 15 is an interesting number to set the limit at.

To me, basically means it could be narrowed down to players taken 11-15. If they were taken in the top 10 you would just write top 10 (if this is true at all).

That's what I figured.

If true he shouldn't get a game. Clearly doesn't have the mental toughness for it...

Apples and oranges. NBA players grow up in a culture where you move out of home and go to college and see your folks a couple of times a year. In Australia most people still live at home and go to uni, moving out of state is an anomaly. They are also paid millions of dollars and are constantly on planes and in hotels - rarely at 'home' in the city they play for. The AFL is a smalltime, insular competition that masquerades as bigger and more important than it really is.

 

[Struggle]

If you want to stay in a certain state, sign for a team of your choice in that state league. Don't enter a draft for a national competition then complain about it

Source? Hope that's true, Gold Coast need him long term

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

If that's the case then he brought it on his self. No sympathy. Could've stayed with his family and worked at a Dominos like everyone else

I don’t work at a Dominos

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Well whoever it is he's a weak piece of shit who doesn't deserve an opportunity at the highest level.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, let's not be overly harsh.

It was mentioned on AFL Tonight, that daily fox show last week if I recall.

My heart goes out to the young man.





Please be Jordan Clark.

 

[Silent Alarm]

It isn't Jordan Clark.

He's from Albany and was a pretty good and very, uh, determined footballer even when he was a teenager. He knew he'd probably move interstate for footy.

So much so that he's been in Perth for years, boarding at Hale or something, so he could play more footy for Claremont and be a better chance at selection.

Not many country lads who go to the city on scholarships end up citing homesickness. They've lived away from their parents and dealt with it by the time they're going off to Victoria.

It's usually Vic Metro pussies who want to go back to Melbourne to root all the chicks they didn't get a chance to in year 12 and big note themselves around their extended friendship group.

So true. To me, homesickness just screams "I'm a privileged city kid whose parents failed to cut the cord".

Some of these kids need to grow the **** up or don't sign up for a national competition

 

[replicant]

Well he can damn well wait two years like every other GWS player has to before they get to play for Carlton.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Only if they dont work hard and follow the coaches instructions.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

There should be some sort of penalty. i.e. If you don't want to stay, you can leave but you go back to the VFL, SANFL, etc. At the end of the year you go back into the draft. Only team that can't take you is the one you left.

Then we'll see the ones that are really homesick.

Similar happened with McCarthy. Club has a choice on whether they want to entertain a trade or hold the player to their contract

Not all Vic players can be as hard and tough as WA players, especially the really tough guys like Hogan. Those types would never do this type of crap

And I had no issue with either party. He clearly wanted to go and to site out, it must have been pretty genuine. That being said, why sign a 3 year extension 6 months before? moron.

Couldn't agree more.

If they can't hack playing in the AFL and want to go home - Go play state league you soft ####.

 

[BangyBangy]

Heard Sam Walsh is missing Geelong

Nah, his heart was always set on the Lions. About time we got one back

Hogan's dad died of cancer and stayed? He got testicular cancer and stayed? And was as happy to stay as he was to come home... how the **** is that weak or soft?

Especially since, you know. Jake Lever. Steven May.
