Tredders to the Crows?

[RoosterLad]

I saw this on the AUFC forum.


Warren Tredrea drops in to Choco 's house on Thursday a couple of hours before training to talk about that night's session. As he walks in he sees Choco finishing off his lunch - eating the biggest tomato he had ever seen.

A hobby vegie grower from way back, Tredders excitedly asks Choco "where did ya get that tomato?"

"I grew it myself" Choco proudly answers.

" Stiffy and Truck down at the Crows have a hobby farm and they mix up a secret blend of sheep manure, horse manure and cow manure and they gave me a bag."

"I've just gotta try some of that on my vegies" says Tredders , "Can you get me some?."

"No worries" is the reply, "I'll stop in at Stiffy 's on the way to training and grab you a bag."

At Alberton Oval that evening Peter Rohde has just finished signing up Michael Wilson for 6 more years when he walks out of his office and sees Choco dragging a large, heavy bag into the Power rooms.

"What's that?" he asks

Choco replies "I've got a bag of sh*t from the Crows for Tredders ."

"Well done" says Rhodey "Good Trade!"

Could have sworn macca23 posted the same thing yesterday in the "Quick Joke" thread on the main Adelaide Board.

Harsh, but seriously I think Tredders should retire. Surely he is only going to go around for one more season anyway, his body is packing up on him.

Which is why I haven't deleted it.

My apologies to macca23 if he did beat me to the punch as I didn't read the Quick Joke thread, infact didn't even know there was one.

I'm fed up with paying over the odds for our trades.....

I can give u a few good reaons ... Ricciutio, Buckley, Crawford, West ... all played on one year too long as far as I am concerned (assuming Crawf and West retire this year and don't go on 2 years too long).

I am trying to do the right thing by Tredders here, let him at least go out on a semi high, if that is applicable after your wretched season.

Ok ok, I'll bite.

• Ricciuto was 31 turning 32 when he all of a sudden ceased up with Parvo and then a bad back/neck/ankle.
• Buckley was 34 turning 35 and his chronic hamstring had been an issue for years.
• Crawford is 33 turning 34 and has a degenerative knee.
• West is 33 turning 34 and has been an ironman until this year.

Tredders will only be 30 on Christmas Eve and playing in a more traditional CHF role returned 31 goals and 28 assists in 17 games this year.

He hasn't had a hint of a soft tissue injury in his career, his knee is finally good 2 years after the patella tendon realignment and the dislocated shoulder against Freo was a freak impact injury.

He has at least one, hopefully 2 productive years left assuming no more trauma injuries - which can strike at any age.

Nice facts and figures, probably will go another one or two, don't get me wrong I am actually a Tredders fan despite being a Crows man. I still remember the day he came of age and tore Carlton apart, that was amazing stuff.

Nevertheless ... hasn't this season been trauma enuf for the great man?!
