Oh boy

 

[GremioPower]

Any ideas on the chances of Marshall playing against North Adelaide?

Not sure, but it would seem like the perfect time to get back out and have a run. Then hopefully slot back into the AFL team the following week.

Understand he is back this week and in line to play v the Roosters. Great news for the kid and the club too.

Todd Marshall has returned to the club from compassionate leave following the death of his father, and could play his first game since the Round 4 loss to Essendon

21 degrees with a chance of a sprinkle of rain <50% on Saturday. get down to Alberton and see Todd play and see what he is going to bring back to the A grade soon.

Looking forward to seeing Todd back - such a nice boy and a smart footballer. Loving the bond between him and SPP, may it grow and deepen.

Great to see him back at the club, can’t imagine how tough the past year has been on him.

 

[SureBuddy]

Be great for the fans to get down to Alberton on Saturday. Go nuts everytime he gets the ball. Show the kid how much love we all have for him.

Cheers... now to change a few plans I had so I can go!!!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Absolutely fantastic news. He's handling it so well, * me what a devastating time for him.

 

[The Rubber Man]

Very surprised to hear that Marshall continued training with his local club while back at home. Thought he would want nothing to do with footy for a few weeks.
He is a strong kid.

Forward line looks a lot more potent with Marshall, Johnson, Thomas and Frampton.

 

[scottjr]

Thomas kicks 5-6 it would be interesting.

Unless you've walked in those shoes you could never imagine. Im late 40's and still have both my parents and even a nana. To lose mum and dad for me would be devastating now, let alone so young. I cant fathom how i would feel or deal with it. For the boy to come back so soon, is amazing and he is a role model for everyone, not just youngsters. Lets have much much patience for this boy.

For such a young kid I think he has shown a lot of maturity through everything he has had to deal with. I heard it said some weeks ago that he was training with his local club, which seemed to indicate that he had every intention of coming back to footy, it was just a question of when he would be ready. It's great to see him back and hoping he really enjoys getting back to playing.

Nah it made sense to me. Getting out of the house and all the memories would have been good for him. Having a leisurely kick and catch with his school/ footy/best mates. He wouldnt have trained at AFL standards although he might have even given the coach a lesson on one or two drills they do at Alberton.
