For the players like Harvey and Ottens who've had one snap they reckon there's no problems so I'd imagine not having one wouldn't be a big deal. The problems I've read about come later in life with toes curling in.
You feel the same way about the players that went back to the Crows and Port?
Had no problems with Kane Johnson or Stenglein leaving us - I was more commenting on how stupid it was for Watts to leave a team that was absolutely crying out for even a half-decent tall forward, to a team that was full of them.

It has little to do about how much you are needed or not. Is Scott Thompson a skirt because I can tell you Melbourne desperately needed him.
Some supporters just have unrealistic expectation on players. They are humans, they are taken away from home when they are kids. Most adapt, some don't.
Thanks for the advice doc. Iv had this problem since yr 8 (4 years) and had to quit footy and cricket because of it. I didnt have a clue how to fix it and when i went for x-rays they just kept telling me i tore it and it would fix it self.
I still have problems with it aswell even though i dont play footy anymore.

Having no talent and not being able to put it togethor for whatever reason (injury, off field, lack of maturity, poor mindset etc) are 2 completely different things.

Fergus was never going to stay at the Crows. He was hoping to be drafted by StKilda where his father Jim was the CEO. Grant Thomas said to him, don't worry son, we will have you home in 2 years as soon as the draft was completed. I know, I was there. As for his brother Jack, well he has dickie knees.

funnily enough, there were plenty of people who didn't agree with you.
including more than a few recruiters...
but hey.
poor bastard made some choices he might not make again if he had a do-over, but that's life.
Seriously, as a Crows supporter, the only thing dumber than Fergus leaving Adelaide for the Saints, was Adelaide drafting him to start with.
How the shit did we ever think it was a good idea to draft the son of a competitors CEO?
Wow, hope it doesn't catch up with guys like Scott Thompson then.
Never seen supporters of a club so cut-up over the loss of a bloke who never did anything.
Pretty pathetic really.
