Eventually we'll pick one up. Bedders will claim kudos. "Itollyaso"
What is wrong with you !

Zip. Aversion to those with crebility absence disorder.
Bedders wasn't wrong & this backed it up.

I do believe it was referenced as an SA Forward at the time.
But I'm old, so maybe my memory is failing.
Plus "Jonas" is only 5-letters, not really a big name at all.....

In his own career he started as a fullback. Played his first game on Plugger. As they say once you go full back you don't go back.

Ah I understand now, I thought it was in reference to an existing player like Hewett / Haywood

Thank * we dud not recruit Jonas. In truth the current Jonas is less than a big name. Peter Jonas from the old days would have. been more than useful.

Not sure whether we had a Form 4 on him. I know we had one on bloody G Cornes.
We had a Form 4 on everyone back in those days. Whatever happened with the Dexter Kennedy Form 4 ?????

Would have been alright if we had got himt over too late North Melbourne Brough both he and Ebert over too late. It was money for the retirement fund for both. I mean they were both what 36?

Not always right Wolfy , but things do change quickly in this game.
The thing that shits me about all this is I live a million miles from nowhere and I’m definitely not in the know so any little tidbit or rumour I can get is appreciated. It’s not a big deal if it doesn’t eventuate. I don’t want people to stop posting rumours because the rumour didn’t happen. It’s why it’s called a rumour.
Good call Ken, where abouts are you mate. We have an old mate in England who stays in touch with everything Swans. Happy to keep you informed, right or wrong

Thereabouts Wolfy. Ebert was still a class player. Cornes did not seem to like the physical stuff in his short time with the lollers.

You and me both! We'd probably have forked out a first rounder for him knowing how awful we've been lately at the trade thing at getting true value for our players.
Only in north east Victoria mate. Feels like the end of the world though! So I crave just a little bit of inside info. I actually follow the o&m like yourself and have nephews that play junior footy for the team you follow in that comp. Maybe we will cross paths up here sometime
Be there in a week.

The fact that they put the Lifeline number at the bottom of the article suggests to me that it was a suicide attempt. I really hope Majak gets the help he needs and thankfully he walks away from this with injuries that can be mended.

God awful story. The black dog is a fact of life. Who knows? Maybe he suffers from depression or another MH illness or his life was mired in such merde he felt there was no other way out.
I once befriended a bloke who was a quadriplegic as a result of jumping on to the Tulla freeway. The guy had schizophrenia and could not take any more episodes. He was lucid when he jumped. The bloke was really bright and a decent sport. He had simply had enough of the damage caused to loved ones and himself when he was psychotic. The ironies of his survival and resulting condition were not not lost on him.
The Daw v Allir contest was one of the great contests and feel good AFL stories of 2018. The pleasure everyone gained from the contest was palpable. I expect AA will be devastated along with many others in AFL land as well as obviously in his family and community.

No other explanation for jumping from the Hangman's Bridge, unless five or six hefty people were involved in heaving him over.
