Has anyone heard what he intends to do next season?

Surely he is good enough to be picked up in the draft? I'd still love to see him at the eagles.

I think he'll be picked up by a Vic team late in the draft (if he nominates), or the pre-season draft

Richmond seem interested in him??

Earth to Frodo. Come in, Frodo. You appear to have taken too many of the red pills. We are concerned that you may be delusional and/or confused. Please reattach yourself to the main pod and only eat the special NASA space food we packed for you earlier.

If Phillip Read goes anywhere near the Fremantle Football Club he'll be leaving in a box.

a few games into season 2004 with ready playing for your mob and you'll be erecting statues of him. He may be easy to hate when in opposition, but he'd go ok with freo as you havent got one of those in ya face type players who could turn the most passive well mannered player into a complete head case.

it worked with dale - although a little to well from mr read's painful perspective !

Any chance of us redrafting him with our 4th rd pick?

No, they were trying to get rid of Phil at all costs this year. Eagles were hoping for a trade but didn't get it so they deslited him. Apparently been causing trouble...but I'm not quite sure what it was yet though.
 
Yep, he's training with the Dee's over the summer. No doubt they're just trying to save Travis Johnstone the embarrassment of another hiding next year.

Oh, and he's already played a number of games for Freo. I mean the Sharks, Bulldogs and Dockers are all one in the same, aren't they? Or is that just when the Dockers want to wear those cute little heritage jumpers?
 
I hadn't realised they were cute, but a lot of time gets spent here discussing costumery so I will, of course, defer to your more considered opinion on that.

Thanks.

I'll bash you all over the countryside if you put me in the same class as a ****en Sharks supporter again :eek:

This comment must be from a northern suburbs person then.
 
Oh, and those cute little jumpers, they are not connected to the East or South Fremantle Football Clubs. Guernseys very similar to them were in fact worn by a whole other football club called "Fremantle" more than a hundred years ago.

Fair amount of heritage value in that, I'd suggest.

Can you still buy Space Food Sticks? Geez they were tops. No idea what went into them but they were bloody tasty.

MM, I would have thought you'd be keen on the Dockers picking him up, given that the likely alternative is that he plays on for East Freo. Now there's a conundrum to test the old loyalty factor.
 
We're not locked into just those possibilities. He could always get a job travelling with the circus.

Or Melbourne could pick him up. Same diff.

The tricky thing there carny for Sharks/Dockers supporters is that he would be on the Dockers list but playing for East Freo each week. Doubly unpleasant.

Whatever gets you through the night I guess.

Though I doubt it would ever happen, The idea of Read being drafted by the Dockers would be beautifully ironic.

In only an Allanis Morrisette kind of way.

It will never happen. It will be like the fans of your football-related company thinking that because there was a Fremantle Football Club in the 1890s, the contemporary Fremantle Football Club has in some way a right and duty to acknowledge said club in any events celebrating the heritage of Australian Rules football.

No, scratch that. That could happen.

It'd be like Karl Langdon knocking back an advertising job on the grounds that he wished to preserve his dignity.
 
I've never seen anyone use the words "Karl Langdon" and "dignity" in the same sententence before - interesting juxtaposition.

Fremantle (that is the Fremantle area and not the FFC) does indeed have a proud football heritage - the Eagles have benefited from it very nicely in the past, thanks very much.

The Dockers may have a spiritual link with the original Fremantle footy team but the suggestion that a direct continuous link exists between the Dockers and the Bulldogs and the Sharks is about as accurate as suggesting that the Eagles have a direct and traceable lineage from West Perth. (now there's a thought)
 
No-one from the Fremantle Football Club has ever claimed such a direct and continuous link. We have however claimed the heritage and only a weirdo carved out of dugong buttocks would deny that.

Well, there could have been a link, but both the history and administration of Souths and Easts was snubbed at the birth of the FFC in 1995.

It would have been like asking a kid to choose between his/her equally devoted and loving parents...

or doing a Sophie.
