Rumour Homesick 2018 Top draftee rumour

[davywap]

Just read this on a not always reliable social media page.

SO IT BEGINS

A first year draftee has reportedly told club officials he is already homesick and wants to return to his home state

This player was reportedly a top 15 draft pick

Due to his struggle to cope with this ordeal; we will not be naming the player, in a bid to protect his privacy and any backlash he may encounter on social media.

Should there be a system put in place to stop the wave of players leaving their clubs to return home due to “homesickness?”

I hope he's from South Aus.

 

[Coops93]

Probably Ben King, that GC drafted. Wasn't there a rumour before the draft suggesting he told them not to draft him?

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

So the OP posts a rumour then claims the moral high ground in providing absolutely no detail. Almost as if we're expected to beleve it isn't just nonsense.

Would be fitting if it was Ben King. That draft pick did a lap of Australia.

Not sure he took the moral high ground, he just stated that he read it on a not so reliable social media page. Whoever posted what they did on said social media page most certainly did though.

Well whoever it is he's a weak piece of s**t who doesn't deserve an opportunity at the highest level.

Most likely Ben king. Don’t the rents 5 mins from Moorabbin? And he said he’d never been been away from his brother before and wouldn’t know how to handle it. He’ll be at the Saints within a couple years I’d say

Tell us how you really feel...

He needs to be identified so someone can get him a nice warm bottle of milk.

Mental health is no joke mate, This guy may be really really depressed.

He might. But until there is some evidence of that youre just muddying the waters.

Homesickness is common amongst young people who have left home for the first time. One would think the lure of professional AFL was a good counter. If its not, he should quit and go home. I for one wont give him any grief for deciding its not for him.

But the pure arrogance and entitlement to think you get that opportunity as well as your pick of where you play, after signing the contract to enter the draft on those terms.... it astounds me.

He's sad but he still wants money so he can't just quit, He will use the system until he gets what he wants.

Heard Sam Walsh is missing Geelong

 

[tryitout]

No wonder idiots keep writing this stuff when the public lap it up.

Out of respect for this player whom I'm spreading a (probably unsubstantiated) rumour about I wont name names. What I will do though is narrow it down to 15 people whom you can cull it down ever furhter after a bit of detective work and you can spread rumours about those remaining players.

What a man of high moral character.

Lol he's not old enough to be missing the 80's.

Hundreds of millions of people across the globe have to travel for work. The vast majority of those work in menial roles, including construction, domestic service, agriculture, and other unskilled labour roles. Many of these people have taken on debt to get to where they are as it offers them an opportunity to save a small amount of money.

What relevance has this you may ask? All players who nominate for the draft know they risk being picked up by an interstate club. It’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to play at the pinnacle of their sport, where a lucrative career awaits them.

But what if there was a real easy way to get back to where you wanted to live? The people you described probably needed to travel for work, These kids don't. If they have talent they can pick whatever club they want to play for.

 

[Joao]

Even if the article is bogus, it is probably still true. He has two years to get over it because doubt any club is going to cough up what is required at the trade table this year.

 

[Iago]

What ordeal? The ordeal of being drafted? How terrible for him. I don't know how one can cope with that. Very brave of him. He gets extra dessert tonight to make him feel better.

 

[kreglze]

Top 15 is an interesting number to set the limit at.

Thought the same thing.

I guess homesickness might not be a big form inhibitor?

If that's the case then he brought it on his self. No sympathy. Could've stayed with his family and worked at a Dominos like everyone else
