An Interesting USENET post

Here is a brief summary of some of the AFL news in Crow land this week, as
reported in the [Adelaide] Advertiser, and on Channel 7 last night.

1. Mark Bickley has quit the crows, and possibly football as well to
concentrate on his other interests eg: horse training. He only
played one game for the crows this year, after playing 11 in their
first year. A pity to lose him in my opinion - I don't think
he got a good deal, and I thought he had a lot of potential.
[ed. Peter McIntyre has also quit the Crows]

Imagine if Bickley did actually quit the crows!!!!! Turned out he definatly made the right decision by staying on!

I think that's complete bull**** at the time even as

1) he doesn't train horses as far as I know

2) Once he played for the Crows he was never dropped was he? This is why he is level with Smart on the games tally.
