Mega Thread The Former Player Thread

I hope he gets left on the scrap heap where he belongs. Doubt there would be many clubs knocking on his door, well at least not with any sizable offers anyway.

from another article published on 24.08.13

"Luckily, coming back here and playing for the Pies, we travel less so that is a big change and a fantastic difference for me to be around a lot more.
"And when I first arrived the club knew about it (my family situation) so they were a great support."

guess he didn't see it coming, lol, I'm sure he'll write a filthy article about how much of a shit bloke Bucks is. It'd be good to contrast it again the quotes above.

Sure his wife had PND, and he had to get back to Melbourne to be closer to family, I get that part, but Jolly just strikes me as an extremely selfish person. Hope this is the last we see / hear about him. Can't stand his articles either.

Nice backhander from LewJo

Johnston was full of praise for Francou, crediting him as having the "biggest influence on my career".

"He knows what works and he's known how to get the best out of me," he said.

"My improvement as a player has increased more in the last two years under him than it did during my three years at Sydney.

No point in overreacting to that. He's finally playing somewhere closer to his talent and good for him. As he said himself, it was more a matter of him maturing and pulling his finger out than Sydney or Adelaide not doing right by him.

 

[Sanecow]

Any interest in signing Jolly, moving him to Sydney and playing him in the reserves?

A national icon and a roo.

I like how that story somehow manages to link it to the piglet incident.

Tonight might be the big award night but Neil Brunton was named coach of the year for the Sydney Football League. Good to see him still putting him to local football in Sydney and getting a reward for it.

Moore takes out the Werribee B&F with Currie coming second.

That is the worst article title ever. Well done to Jarred though. Hope someone gives him a shot for next year.

 

[Sanecow]

That is the worst article title ever

Surely "Moore is More" is what they wanted.

Should've won a brownlow

Their Betts is better though.

Actually can't see him not getting drafted, has really torn it up this year.

 

[Jeffers]

I guess we can say congrats to Jonathan Simpkin for winning a premiership......

i guess.

 

[S120]

Pat Veszpremi on trying to win a spot at a third club: " I still believe that I'm a damaging player"

Is he referring to his under 18's career when he says "still"?

 

[Sanecow]

If Ves wasn't a lazy sack, he'd be alright.

 

[strauchanie59]

He'd be a damaging player at the buffet.

Been watching some of the replays on Fox Footy and what has really stood out is just how good a tackler and defensive player Mitch Morton managed to become. I was firmly a skeptic that he could ever become so accountable and strong in that area but I was proven to be emphatically wrong.

Doesn't matter now lol

Any word on where he is playing next season? read he was gonna play state level in 2014 while working.
