Rumour JUH

[hairy biker]

Also, players are able to have a social life, they do not need to lock themselves in their homes when they are not working.

People might be a bit more sympathetic if he actually played/worked, rather than posting vids of himself being a dick on social media.

but, do we know what he is doing training wise, at the club or away?
is he posting at midday at the races etc?

I think the problem is he is not turning up for work.

Spoke to a close friend of his coach yesterday. Wrong crowd type situation from the sounds of it.

Dogs refused to offer more than 2 years hoping he'd be offered better and request to go while he's still got value. Other clubs followed the Dogs lead and didn't want to offer him anything long term so they agreed to sign him for the 2 hoping he'd come good.

Said he's as good as gone at the end of the year after the pre season he's had. Didn't allude to where that could be.

Hopefully for his sake he can sort his life out before he finds himself out of the AFL. Exceptional talent, don't want it to go to waste.

Bump

Sounds like this info was correct after all. Not really sure where the AFL go from here, kids clearly in all sorts from a life perspective. Best thing for him would be cutting him off from the hundreds of thousands of dollars pouring into his bank account but not much room to move with the AFLPA on that stuff.

 

[triggering bro]

If he has genuine issues with the pressure of being an AFL player, or in his personal life, then he needs to seek help for this.

But his social media accounts and the way he has conducted himself would seem that this is not the case.

I may be way wrong on this but it reeks of him just taking the piss because he knows he will still get paid whatever happens.

Mental health card, race card, this guy is playing with a full house. He is taking advantage of a flawed system while most of us contribute significantly to society through hard work and strong values. This guy is an A grade bludger. The fact he will blow all his money on drugs, piss and gambling helps me sleep at night. What a grub. No one will remember him in two years.

Geelong are orchestrating this to get him cheap

 

[ShadowCat]

On the basis of that report alone, I don't see him returning to the game at all. Proof that hard work beats talent every time.

 

[ShadowCat]

Geelong are orchestrating this to get him cheap

Geelong are telling him to go hang out with lowlives, do drugs, get drunk and post it on Instagram, and sever all ties with a club...to get him to their club cheap?

Even though this has been going on for the best part of 18 months, and getting steadily worse and worse.

God we really do control the weather don't we?

All correct

 

[ArdentEagle]

If it gets to that stage, the competition should essentially retire him and that would restrict him from being on a list for 3 years.

This is only like 9 sleeps for him, no big deal!

Drugs are bad

Especially when WADA comes over the top.

 

[Mavs13]

Will end up at Geelong.

So Bevo has pretty much confirmed it is a multiple drug strike case. It wouldn't be up to the AFL if it wasn't.

Disagree. They want to tear up his contract and need the AFL approval. Then he can use the money he has left to entertain his 'mates' with the neck tattoos

Once that cash is gone, they'll be onto the next sucker

I took it as the Dogs are done with his shit and want to wipe their hands of it. And fair enough too. The AFL needs to look after their club. The dogs are getting bent over

In saying that if he's out sinking piss and possibly on the gear just send the drug testers out their everyday until they nab him.

The MC probably stop that from happening

 

[freo1]

Seems like he’s just revelling in the fact he’s getting paid a heap and knows he can’t be sacked due to the floored system.

He’s just too young and naive though to realise that money still won’t last long when the contract finishes. Life is long and not cheap.

I don't have a particular liking for Nick Riewoldt's commentary, but I massively agree with his take this week. Interesting to see him so 'emotional' when talking about it, summed up by him swearing on TV. So many angles to this which provide insights into the AFL system and broader society, as well as lessons to learn. We have kids who live their lives by social media; clubs offering long-term mega deals to players who haven't earned it yet, with big pots of money available to young players that previously didn't exist (without the mental maturity or family infrastructure to handle it); we have powerful player managers who can significantly influence things behind the scenes to the detriment of clubs; we are in an era where people are feeling there is exceptional political correctness and the pendulum has swung too far.

 

[ADA23]

People keep saying exceptional talent etc. I’ve watched him fairly closely and I’ve never really seen it. Looks timid at the contest to me, not tall enough to be a marking KPF and not hard enough to get his own footy.
197 cm. Is tall enough. Doesn’t really crash packs tho

Yep, I was taking that is they want out of his contract for next year
