News Kelvin Lawrence walks out

[Eth]

Just reported by Jay Clark, and will officially be delisted at the end of the year.

Real shame, would have liked to see him get a run.

 

[MUYB]

Who is Kelvin Lawrence?

 

[Dory_77]

Wasn't he struggling to get games at Casey and was only a rookie listed player? Sucks to see him leave regadless, but it sounds like a bit of a beat-up.

Has not had a good time of it at Melbourne. Injuries and form didn't help.Probably would have been delisted anyway. We realty need a small forward.

We found one today.

Sucks that Kelvin left, nonetheless.

 

[Bluelegs]

Barely saw him at casey, injured all the time and doubt he would have gotten many games in the seniors no matter how injury ridden our side was.

 

[Demon JP]

Mass exodus has begun..

 

[RandB]

lol Neeld is making waves down at that joint and I'm lovin it. Shame not to see what Lawrence is capable of but sounds like he has a heart the size of a split pea if he can just walk out on the club.

Mass exodus has begun..

Hopefully it will go the way of the french revolution.

 

[WattsGoodForYou]

On no. Real shame to lose a rookie who never looked like pressing for a spot in team, who was a speculative pick and further more struggled to show it at VFL. Huge loss...NEXT!

 

[Supermercado]

Two years on the rookie list with zero games and never got close. Did somebody hold the door open for him?

 

[MUYB]

This is the darkest day in club history since Barassi left for Carlton.

 

[Bartram_Class]

May not be a big-name, but you never like to see a player walk out.

We also don't want to get a reputation for failing to adequately deal with our aboriginal players.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Haven't been this devastated since Isaac Weetra was delisted.

I'm not sure his heritage has everything to do with it. He wasn't getting games, and was playing Casey 2's if I'm not mistaken, time to say goodbye.

 

[markm106]

Fair to say Jay Clark got a little excited last night after the footy and with his article. The headline 'unhappy demon walks out' whilst true is a little misleading.

 

[Ando727]

See-ya Kelvin, say hi to...umm..somebody for me.

Seriously, this happens to plenty of players at every club, every year. It only rates a mention because Melbourne are one of the official "basket-case" clubs of 2012. If a Hawthorn player left for the same reason, in the same way, it wouldn't even raise a ripple because people would just say he doesn't make the grade at the culture of excellence at Hawthorn.

 

[rhaz]

oh noes

 

[maxmustard]

I'm calling it first, that's our season shot.

 

[Captain Jack]

Meh, whatever... Shame that he couldn't hack it but such is life, he never got close anyway.

 

[Demon 16]

I'm tipping he was told early that he wouldn't have a spot next year and he's had a sulk and walked.

 

[Dee Won]

creates an opening for some young, hungry and talented player, hopefully they seize the opportunity to play some AFL

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Hopefully it will go the way of the french revolution.

Or the Spanish Inquisition? They'll never expect that...

 

[Marlowe]

We have too many superstars as is. We are not running a charity.

 

[Viney]

Disgraceful article (again)

Makes out as though we treated him like shit and he walked.

I got the impression he's quit the big leagues and wants to return home
