[Beerfish]

He's going to be the greatest 45 ever seen.

The football fates can go and get farked. That’s just bulltish.

Hopefully gets another contract

shattered.

Hopefully gets another contract

Assuming his contract is up end of this year, I think they will give him one more year.

I don’t think they should tbh.

It’s not the nice thing to say, or the thing anyone wants to say. Maybe the day he’s literally done his acl isn’t the right time to say it either.

But he’s already 23? 25? 24? Can’t remember exactly.
He’s now going to miss a whole season, and the season after an acl guys can often be pretty slow/a step off/take a while to get back.
And factoring in that’s he’s showed some good glimpses early, but definitely looks like a guy who needs 1-2 decent AFL preseasons into him at least to develop the fitness and body.

I’d say he might be one of those “wait to see how trade week plays out, and see how many list spots we have” types.

Very tough luck for the guy. Feel for him.

Would’ve been Kaine Baldwin

Poor bastard - not fair is it.

Hope he gets back and gets back to the same level. Unlike Hunter he’s had an opportunity at senior level - hopefully enough to keep him on the list.

Probably semantics judging by the rich tapestry of 6 posts most of which is dumping shit on this, that and all of the above.

You may well be right.

Hard not to root for the guy though - played like he cared and flung his puny body around with abandon.
