Nice contribution BPB.

 

[efcboy]

i say stuff them - at his age he shouldn't be risked and leave him at home looking after his future essendon stars (sons) as well as himself.

If he is the goalie he won't be hurting himself

Interesting selection of players.

Dustin Fletcher

Selected for another IR series.

Not that it will be the crowning moment in his career.

How much does the EFC owe this bloke? At the very, very least he needs to be held in the same reverance as Hird and Lloyd. He might very well be the best Essendon player of the last fifty years....

to Fletch....

That just got me thinking ... if he were to switch codes at the end of his AFL career, I think he'd make a fine goalie.

How hard can it be?

Good luck, Fletch.

Well, I just found a particularly interesting article.

Hird also influenced the decision to play on by 35-year-old Dustin Fletcher, who would have quit had the sacked Matthew Knights survived.

(On another note, geez the Irish commentary is nauseating... and only one person? It makes it sound like one of those olympic relays, or the bike tours... ugh)...

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Angry Dustin is angry.

 

[Brent Prismall#9]

Ageless Fletcher is Ageless.

I ****ing love Fletcher.

 

[theboxmike]

Why are people talking about fletcher retiring anytime soon? He still is a fantastic player and has the athleticism to go with the modern game, frustrates me to no end.

 

[Godzke]

**** Frawley. Dustin should hold the spot for the next 5 years to come. He's the Maldini of the AFL... even if Maldini wasn't a GK. lol
