How about Harley?

[40yearBLUE]

Harley announced his retirement today.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...ounce-retirement/story-e6frf9jf-1225789864704

It seemed like that whenever a player was delisted or quit his club in the last few weeks someone started a dumb thread asking if we should go after him, so I just could not resist starting this thread.

What about Harley, excellent leadership skill, finals experience, 2 short of his 200, how about it blues? Anyone?

(It is just a joke mods, feel free to delete it if you wish.)

He is more of a 3rd tall, which is not what we need. PSD would be tempting though.

Good on you for creating some discussion, this board is practically dead atm.

(this is response is a joke)

We would be a top 4 side with Harley...he could be our VC (or Captain while the man is on extended leave), great defensive skills and has bucket loads of injuries.

(This response is a joke)

 

[The Toad]

We should recruit him for our succession plan. He could play for a year, then be an assistant coach for a couple of years, and then take over as coach. Woo Hoo

(This is also a joke)

That's a key quality we need.

 

[Blueboys7]

(oh and the above was not a joke I having injury prone blokes)

 

[Sin City]

Mitch Thorpe gave him a hiding in the VFL once, we should get him instead

 

[Kreuzerlenko]

we should delist everyone on our team and replace them with retirees/cripples

(serious)


(ok, not serious)

 

[Blue since 72]

Perhaps we could use him in our new ad campaign for next season:

'we're hair to stay..... unlike mine'.

 

[jonoman89]

Ahahahahahahaa.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I want my 20 seconds of my life back after opening this topic.

(I'm deadly serious).

 

[gbatman]

too old, finished, struggled no way!

 

[Mister Carlton]

*double post*

 

[Big Bad Sammus]

We should get Stewie Dew - we have not had a side that has not contained someone grossly overweight in our team for years (ala Whitnall, Stevens)....now that Stevens has retired, we need to fill the fat void.

He also does well in Grand Finals.

(Seriously....think about it).

 

[raymagoo]

moron! shizen thread

Cripples sounds like nipples.

(deadly serious)

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

Shocking post 30yb, and I noticed you didnt even reach the minimum word requirements on this one

 

[dumb]

can't imagine him putting himself up for draft for another team who actually expect or need him to play well. his time ending at geelong as a premiership captain allows him to retire in perfect ignorance.

 

[Monkey King]

Absolutely I reckon he's worth a go... as an Assistant Coach.

Clearly his playing days are over, but he's a respected leader coming from the most successful team in recent times. Could be a fine contributor to our young defense if his tactical nouse is deemed by the footy department to be above par.

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Threads are funnier to read when the OP is serious and the next 200 posts are all slamming him.

 

[HBF]

......and he'll end up taking up a job with GWS.
Given that his wife/girlfriend is working up in Sydney, and this has already been reported in the press.

 

[BluesMan]

wtf, he retired meaning not playing!!

Blues fans are f***ing stupid sometimes
