Calinan - straight up WINNER

[Slippery Pete]

His is a solid body, despite being small. Even though he has a reputation for being slow, he actually has a very nice turn of pace, and he goes in hard and plays a physical brand. I can't imagine he'll last forever, but you'd like to think he'll go to, maybe, 33?

40, maybe even 45.......

Games?

Do people think he can go on a few more years than a normal 30+ year old due to the fact his body hasn't been put through the afl ringer for 10+ years?
Will this increase his longevity?

I reckon he could play til about 34-35. If he's still in pretty good nick around 32-33 he'll be vital for our premiership hopes.

Absolute gun! Knew he'd have a big season!

My thoughts too. 6 years of AFL footy, 100+ games, just enough for his kids to get on our list. Does he have any mini-Callinans yet?

Sign him up.

Apart from last years hamstring injury, has he ever had a really bad LTI? He's moving quite well for a 29 year old and it generally seems the smaller guys have much better luck with playing effectively into their 30's (Liberatore, Bradley, Bickley).

Sign him up.

Hopefully Callinan's partner is taller than he is

Humble pie never tasted so good...

Was very good again against Carlton...

Will be very interested how long he can play footy for... you would think another 2 years after this..

Also without putting pressure on the kid Ian's wife father was a very good football player too is in the Tasmaina hall of fame, Also when he played in the carnival he made the AA team in 1979.

So we need Callinan to play until at least the end of 2016 to ensure we get his kid eligible for father/son

If the kid is anything like Nutter then that would've been a painful birth for Mrs. Callinan.
