Terribly sad news. I actually didn't know he was kick.
I know some of his close family members and he has been battling a type of bone cancer that would only allow him to have chemo twice. He got the all clear after the first batch but unfortunately it came back and the second and final round of chemo was not enough to clear him of it.

He said he would not make his 60th birthday and bows out at 58.

Terribly sad news.

He was on the ABC on saturday mornings doing talkback and also calling Eagles and Dockers fans. He copped a lot of grief from Eagles fans as he didn't fawn over them like most of the journalists over here. He would tell it like it is and most times they didn't like it.

Finally getting around to watching the Rioli thing done by Fox Footy.

Unpopular opinion - I know he's rated stupidly by the media, but he deserves every bit of it. Absolute freak footballer. Can just do things I've never seen anyone do. His skills are just simply sublime.

they are every second week.

He tends to be a big game player though. Which is where it counts.

Yeah maybe. They harp on about him having 15 possessions a game but they're also absolutely right.

Give me 15 Cyril possessions over 40 Rockliff possessions every day.

Yeah his big game stuff is often game changing.

Seems like they are guilty of being stupid and might have partners to answer to but aside from that nothing to suggest this was unsolicited behaviour. The person who shopped them around might have a case to answer and Woman's Day or Weekly or whatever they are called are a tad desperate.

The AFL do have a tight rule re sexually explicit social media stuff though.

I have seen the Travis Cloke pics and i have to disagree TODN, frankly I find it disgraceful and unforgivable that a man has angel wings tattooed on his back!!
