Why not .. not football related.

True but I am not sure that the good citizens of Geelong who were ruined by Pyramid would be so forgiving. The crowd at the game did boo him when he was introduced, along with others. to commemorate some football anniversary some years ago. Clapped all of the others booed Clarke.

shooting fish in a barrel ... and yes there were plenty burnt by it...but its about footy and he was a great player... well very good at least.
 
A few years back a 50 year old ablett senior decided he was going to make a comeback. He trained once with the vfl boys until the media got a sniff. A lot of those vfl got to live out a childhood dream that day. He still had it as well.

True story

Id not be surprised that he would only appear if both happened on the same night. Who wants to see a mistake from their past raised again...which is what would happen once the Wilson keyboard started to work...

If its football both should be legends.. it make the status "less" when those type are not in there...

I'd love it TC, if both were inducted on the same night, that would be awesome + might even encourage GAS to attend *fingers crossed*

I reckon, (probably easier said than done) that GAS has to try + ignore keyboard warriors (if in fact it affects him).

You are absolutely right, TC - "If its football both should be legends" + agree, if GAS isn't inducted, it diminishes the value of the award.

I would just love it if GAS was a mystery poster on BigFooty .........

Would love to see him as a special comments man on Fox or 7.
Many forget his depression started pre 1989, and it's been a long battle which I hope he seems to be on top of.

Oh I agree Vdubs! GAS has a very dry sense of humour + as an unassuming character, doubt we'd hear the FIGJAM tripe of other commentators.

For unfathomable reasons, there are some people, who are totally unforgiving of GAS. His long term depression was why he turned to drugs + even if you haven't been to that dark, dark place, surely it cannot be that hard to have a little empathy, at least?

The death of Alisha Horan will haunt GAS for the rest of his life, it must be torment living with it every day. I really believe there has to be forgiveness extended to him.
