Past #23: Kieran Harper - delisted by the club (29/10) - will miss '16 VAFA season, surgery on ankle

[The Filth Wizard]

Anyone wanna watch his highlights and cry with me? 8pm sharp, popcorn is supplied.

I wonder how HARPSichord is holding up...

 

[roos_fanatic08]

never been more disappointed that a player didn't reach their potential.

 

[marklovesbeer]

...a chance to play for the Bombers now?

He might be their captain.

I'd be stoked if he got another gig.

If he plays for the * for a year then we pick up next year after he has won the brownlow.

 

[TwentyNine]

I'd say no, for more or less the same reasons he no longer plays for us. Cooked.

 

[Roo Beauty]

I'd rather he didn't.

I'd have to hate him if he donned that monstrosity of a jumper and played for that utter trash "football"
club.

Hes playing for the Uni Blues in the VAFA.
Not sure what division. Disappointed he didnt stay in the VFL system.

Obviously doesn't care much for an AFL career. I reckon it all got a bit too hard for Harps and his head and heart are no longer in it.

No shame in that considering the issues he had with his ankle.

Gees. They must have been able to secure him a nice job and some under the table payments.

Off the top of my head I think they play in Premier, which is pretty good quality footy. A few AFL players have previously been drafted from Premier VAFA and its where Luke Beveridge coached St.Bedes to a flag and then moved on to AFL level stuff I believe.

Agh harps we hardly knew ye

I saw him a couple of times at highpoint having a feed with Ben McKinley.
Turns out they were roommates at the time and also best mates.

Well guess who lines up for Uni Blues? McKinley. Hes very much moved on from forging an AFL career.

I delivered pizza to Wayne Carey once in Kesington. He and Rocky werent in too gooda shape

Will miss the majority of the 2016 VAFA season due to the need for further ankle surgery.

Can't take a trick.

Bloody hell he's had a rotten run of luck. Seriously, he should pack it in before he suffers irreversible long term damage which affects his ambulatory life off field.

 

[tazaa]

Cant even drive the Ferrari around the block

 

[Twinkletoes]

Serious injury as an amateur is far more painful to the wallet than it is as a professional too, as he's about to discover.

poor kid.

 

[Donkey Chop]

poor kid.

Indeed. AFAIK he's a Chippy first now. Hopeful to get his footy back on track but it's no longer his career

 

[koshari]

Hes like a poor mans Daisy Thomas where his debilitating injury occured before he peaked rather than after. Cant see him ever having the strength in his ankles again to push it at a high level. Should be able to command pretty good coin playing out in the bush somewhere to compliment his income though.

 

[jezaroo]

Forgot to mention that I saw Harps at the Dreamtime game, had a hot missus on his arm..... and a boring looking moonboot on his ankle!

Has he let himself go?
