You were saying?
I was tempted to cite the many posts bagging him, but that would detract from the joy of simply focusing on W80 and what he brings, which is heaps, every single game he plays for us.
Don't you know 'special' is a word reserved for 'special' players? So, yep, good call!!
Absolutely fantastic pick up. I knew those doubting this FA pick up were barking up the wrong tree, and thought he'd be of great value, but he's exceeded my expectations. Absolutely love the big fella!
His contested marking, his confident and accurate goal kicking, his competitiveness, his defensive pressure and tackling, his synergy with the other forwards, his leadership and maturity, his inspiration and support to the younger brigade, his embracing of the club (says and means 'we'), helping to maintain and enhance the Shinboner culture, and being a good bloke to boot.
What a shame we got him so late in his career, for his sake and ours. I hope his body allows him to continue past this year, or even longer. Special!
I think he'll see himself as North (for the experience he's had with us) and Carlton (for the longevity and family ties) and won't see this as an issue, nor should he. I'm content he'll have a soft spot for us.
