They've spent his entire career in two separate states and they're still together. That's a bloody good effort.

Reckon Paps is a very loyal sort of a bloke and obviously she is too. All the best to them.

I believe the club stated up to six months so hopefully it doesn’t take that long. Regardless, it’s a huge blow to Max’s development but it’s not entirely surprising for a young tall to go down with a stress reaction. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery so he can play some footy in the reserves this season.

For ****s sake

The Medical Academy.

We need to stop throwing money at this experiment now because it is not worth it with the rule changes made to attack it.
Take the Victorian talent.
We’ve never won a flag with an Academy played in it.

Not surprising? It's unacceptable. 5 first year players in the space of 4 years now with the same overload injury, we can't excuse this shit anymore. It's nothing but incompetence.
