Toast Duffy

[yakka man]

Doesnt his sister work for Freo.The story also goes that Ross saw him running around for East Freo and said I want him,get him for me and the club did the rest.

Yep, whole lotta Rosie Duffy works at Freo

A sack of potatoes is better than Sylvia.

I can vouch for this.

This is what i wanted. More goal hungry forwards desperate to kick it through the sticks. Yay. Keep him and crozy in

 

[The Anchorite]

Been waiting for his debut for a while and may have gone a bit overboard pumping him up beforehand. He really showed a bit though, not surprisingly joined the not-so-exclusive club of first kick goal players, and along with Crozier provided the extra goals we needed. Very interested to see if he stays in alongside Walters, I vote yes.

Correct. Sheriff has told me this story 100 times.

Occasionally you see players who come along and you can see they've go what it takes to play AFL off the bat. They may turn into stars, they may turn into fringe players - occasionally they throw it away with ill discipline or whatever, but you can see that they've got the temperament, body and mental "footy brain" to play at this level.

Reminded me of palmers first game. He has the arrogance that says "I think I'm good enough".

Thought he was better than crozier tbh.

Wow, I am all for pumping up Duffy but I think Crozier's game was outstanding. I am also more confident that Crozier will follow up with a second good game than I am with Duff. That was a real break through for Crozier and he might just be very hard to keep out of the team from now on.

This kid is all class. Fast becoming a favourite of mine and he's only played 2 quarters.

Seppo already touched on this but here is an article about Duffy donating half his match payment to HeartKids WA in tribute to a close mate who passed away a few years ago. What a wonderful gesture from a young man.

you beat me to it!

haha all good. Deserves to be posted by everyone!

 

[Freoforever86]

What a champ! Seems like a top bloke!

 

[doberman]

Great game and champion bloke for the emotional tribute. For some reason, either through posters on here or some mates of mine I got the impression he was a bit of a flog. Can now say he will be one of my favourites and looks like a guy who will bleed purple. Good on him

 

[mike91]

Max seems like a terrific bloke

It's pretty hard not to be moved by that, what a great kid.

 

[Outshined]

Fantastic gesture during a time where it'd be very easy to get carried away.

Ross sounds like a big fan, so he may well still be in the team come finals.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Donates half his match fee what a star not enough of this

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Man my eyes are sweaty after watching that vid. Hope my kids turn out with the same ethical grounding. What a ripper!

 

[Allikat]

What a champion. That video is so touching. What an amazing bloke. I got a little something in my eye too.

 

[beetz]

I haven't seen the vid yet, might wait until I have finished chopping up the onions for dinner.

 

[yoong]

I didn't specifically post it anywhere. But I admit I was wondering why are we bringing in new players at this crucial time of the season and was half expecting him to fail (sorry Duffy )
He have definitely done enough to warrant another selection this week. Hope he have another good crack at it!

I thought Duffy was meant to be a bit of a douche? Was that just someone extrapolating from a "selfish" playing style or something? Seems pretty classy to me.

42, 39, 56?

I heard this too somewhere. Maybe as a teen, like they all are *cough* Palmer *cough* but I'd say the Freo culture shines through again, the club as a whole wouldn't put up with an attitude no matter how good you are.

 

[Tazmania]

Just heard Matty Lloyd on the radio and he said he coached Duffy as part of the ais squad, and that he was impossible to coach as wouldn't do the team thing. Also that Lyon is the perfect coach for him and has done wonders...

But Lyon doesn't develop yoof!
