KJ and BJ have always seemed great people. Best of luck KJ and partner in the move to weird city WA.

Has anyone heard what Brandon is up to. Have not seen any BJ articles for ages.

BJs writeups were some of the best journalism I have ever read. Quality. Inciteful. Wrote as though he had lived it and learned from it. And he had.

 

[Callipygian]

I don't think of BJ as a "great person" in the same way as I do with someone like Harry Cunningham or Brett Kirk

or Goodsey. But I certainly have a lot of time for Brandon's intelligence and thoughtfulness and desire to learn and grow. I know less about Kizza (he not having published a memoir and numerous articles etc) but he seems like a simpler and less tormented person and was clearly a quality leader and person to be made captain of our club.

He had a seriously tough time with his parents and only BJ stood by him in his family. Very private guy I believe.

On a related note, I walked past his mural in Surry Hills a couple weeks ago and was pleased to see it hadn't been defaced, not even a tag on it. Shows how well-respected the great man is in Sydney.

ludicrous but a typical take… he was a terrific player, loyal to Mopsy and the opposite of dog Browning.

Hanners appointed as a playing assistant at Old Xavierians in the VAFA , his home school , he played 1 game last year and got a broken jaw , in many ways some clubs are stronger than some VFL clubs

[caesar88]

Good on him. Was always one of my favourite players.

 

[Callipygian]

Fascinating re Kizza. I wonder if he got head hunted or if he was looking for a job out west in particular for some reason?

And Hanners is still heartbroken about 2016: “Some of those free kick goals…”: Why former Swan finds it hard to move on from 2016 Grand Final loss. Fair enough. Still, my hope for him as it is for all of us, is that he (and we) can move on.
