Statute of limitations has officially passed on this.

Freo offered him 750k a year off the back of that season. Stayed on for significantly less and was loyal. All the best Aaron.

Wood needs to study Black very closely because if he isn't careful he'll find himself in a similar spot

Yup.

Freo went a lot harder than many on here realise.

They wanted him bad.

Got to say playing him injured in 2014 killing all confidence in his shoulders and then bringing Waite to the club in 2015 before discarding him in 2016 and then watching him go down with a knee, lose his dad tragically and then get delisted is a ******* s**t go.
Deserves to be rookied.
That’s not fair man

Well done Blacky. We'll always have 2013, too bad you weren't able to go on with it.

I am gutted to as well. Freo were chasing him when he had a good 2013 season. He signed a 4 year deal to stay at North.

Frustrating looking back at it. He is a Peel thunder boy too. Sadly he joins the list of guys like Scott Gumbleton, Anthony Morabito and Harley bennell as guys that came From Peel thunder in the WAFL That talent but careers stuffed by injuries

You cant really call a disintegrated septum on Bennell a football related injury...

I wont go into bennells drug problems. I wont deny it either. he has his fair share of calve injuries. I wont go in to gumbletons problems with that Asada stuff. He had a lot of hamstring an soft tissue injuries too.

 

[B4Bear]

Another potential gun that went nowhere.

Isn’t he coaching at Geelong?

Article from yesterday titled that he's preparing for a return to playing footy, can't access it though due to stupid pay walls

 

[koshari]

yes

 

[Rooboy 96]

yes

a bit late now Koshari

Poor Aaron. Almost had a chance to be a defender at Geelong and then his leg broke. ****ed by injuries, had so much talent.

Aaron Black

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

is also on the West Coast Top up list. Good luck Blackie if you get a call up.
