Injury Steve Johnson - foot soreness

[FredLeDeux]

Yeah- I've been thinking he could be a surprise retirement, ever since his mid-season back problems. The only thing that's been keeping him going is his will to succeed, I think.

I think, of all our players, he is the least likely to retire gracefully;

You reckon they'll be dragging him, fighting and kicking, Fred? Or will he announce it to all and sundry before he plays his last game, so he can have all the camara crews handy for his final interview?

Do you think they could fit a chopper in there, somewhere, daz?

Probably find Brian Peake's old one tucked away under a grandstand somewhere.

 

[The rabbi]

All the rest off the foot will do wonders.
Will play limited game time against Brisbane I'm tipping.

It may be better not to play him at all against Brizzy and give him adequate time to recover.

I remember the day, as a lad, that he arrived at Kardinia Park, and desperately hoped he was the Messiah.

Alas.

Think there's a lot to be gained with that strategy Rabbi.

Lou Richards summed it up pretty well by giving him the ultimate nickname….

Pasties Peake...

He came with so much hype, and I was so keen to find a saviour for the GFC, because we were in the wilderness and I for one wanted something, anything to lead us out of there......

Sadly, I had to wait many a year thereafter

His first half-seasaon was very good, but he dropped off thereafter.
He wasn't the Messiah, more like John the Baptist preparing the way for you know who, 3 years later.

Yeah, then followed some of the best, most torturous years of my life......

It's OK, rabbi- I just sang the song quietly inside my head.

What is it with Geelong players and foot injuries? Do we need a sponsorship from scholl...

Was quite a few years before it became remotely enjoyable though

I think it's as simple as we flog them harder than most clubs do. I remember Caddy (?) saying it was like chalk and cheese when he arrived in terms of training. Also sometimes shit happens. These guys would be running over a thousand kilometres a year. That's gotta have some impact on your body.

John is older than you?

Speaking of; a translation of Pasolini's St. Paul has just been published - it would make for interesting reading.
