Grand Final snub.....

[Royal Blue And White]

Heard on 3AW radio this morning that out of the 28 retirees this year only two are to be given a sending off via a lap around the G on Grand Final day.....These two players being Schwarz and Rehn.
If this is true it is an absolute disgrace. From a Roo supporters view I'd be very upset if Schwass and Blakey missed out (2 ornaments of the game)....Add to this another 24 players from around the league not invited and what youve got is an AFL administration that is completely out of touch.....

There was something in the paper today, that Rehn and Schwarz are the only 2 to have played less than 200 games. Normally that is the criteria to get in the parade. Blakes and Schwatta will both be there.

So what your saying is that the radio got it the wrong way round and should have said that Rehn and Schwarz are going to miss out?

Rehn and Schwarz are the only two players who played under 200 who are getting a run on GF day.....

 

[Royal Blue And White]

Thanx Borat.....

 

[moomba]

Correct.

The likes of Woods, Sholl, Daffy who have all played similar amounts of games to Schwarz and Rehn, but didn't get an invite.

AFL logic at play

Rehn and Schwarz are getting a gernsie becasue they were champions that had severe injuries during their carreers that stopped them getting over 200 games and showing their true champion potential...

I think they had 3 knee reco's each... ouchie!

Will Piggy Dunstall actually turn up for the Hall Of Fame inductees lap ?

To be cheered by collingwood hoards ? Not high on his priority list I think

 

[JUBJUB]

But he'll be cheered by the Brisbane supporters,with him being from QLD.

What about Libba and Knights?

Be good if Schwarz did a lap around the ground. Certainly give me something to cheer at.

It'd be a pity if Schwarz fell out of his car and got run over by the one behind.

The car might get damaged.

Not to mention the turf.

I'd be jealous of a player that had qualitites your whole team lacks. Courage...

Pity Taylor and Merenda aren't going to be in it
