[the flying ham]

Good luck to him on his road to recovery. Can see him being a real weapon moving forward under Shaw. But footy takes a back seat now.

It appears that we r getting more and more of this kinda of mental issues.

Its also possable that due to the work of some past players the stigma of admitting everything isnt just fine is more acceptable.

 

[Mav]

Good. I never took it seriously anyway.

Oh look. Tef way off the mark again.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

People like Thommo deserve eternal credit for opening the door for players to be more open with their mental health. All the best Hally.

Called it.

Congrats. When is Roughead coming?

Wasn’t me who broke the news about Hall if you cared to read the post that I quoted.

There are a lot of similarities between Aaron and Beams at the moment. There is usually a root cause to an issue.

 

[Hatchy1992]

All the best Aaron, as someone whose suffered from mh issues before, I can completely understand where he is. But once you're in the North family, you're always a part of it. Good luck to him, and hope he comes back firing sooner rather then later!

 

[North Viking]

All the best to Aaron. Hope the club gets around him and he finds the support networks he needs.

Would love it if we could develop this bloke into a dashing half back.

Unfortunately you need to defend to be able to play off half back... Can dash though.

Playing Jmac down there suggests otherwise.

Give him a shot, with his closing speed he might surprise.

Fair enough. Ahern then, with his foot skills?

If he can build his tank - perhaps... After this week though - seems a long way off.
Also, he's been in the 2's to work on his defensive game, so perhaps half back doesn't suit.
But his best is very good - his vision and use are brilliant, something we're crying out for back there.
I have faith that he can work hard and be strong contributor in seasons to come. If he can do that off half back, particularly given the emerging Jy & LDU in the middle, it would be invaluable.

Apologies kofr. I was kidding. I can't see Ahern working in the backline on his (largely non-existent) defensive capabilities, at least at this point.

Seems a little bit of a gambling issue.

My response wasn't really that convincing either... His need to go to the 2's was noted - as was his lack of run. More hopeful than a realistic proposition... I was being polite!

 

[ferball]

I wonder what it would take to turn this guy into a hard running both way type player who can win the ball inside and spread ioffensively and defensively? For all the criticism he copped and the times he didn't run both ways, he still played better defensive footy than he had at any time previously in his career.

 

[ferball]

BTW Interesting calls on Ahern Kimbo.

I found it interesting that there was some thought that he did well there.

His delivery out of the backline was, at times, brilliant. That's about all tho.

First game there with a midfield being smashed against the reining premiere away. Give him time.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Fit & firing, he's the exact type of player we need in the team right now.

2016 was a hellish run with injury, but this season is no better.

 

[Kimbo]

Granted, but along with his apparent lack of tank, he just doesn't seem to want to use his body. Just as it's instinctive for some, it's the exact opposite for him. He's a Bizarro Zurhaar.
