General off-season footy chat

Go watch the tide turning moments in the third quarter of the GF. Two goals in a minute for Fritsch then he was minding Pertracca before he bent one through. It’ll cheer you up no end

Helps a little bit - but still doesn't make up for what he got away with in 2016.

Interesting stat, I thought, via Twitter:

Happy 23rd Birthday Will Hayward
Only AFL player in the past 15 seasons to kick 50 career goals before turning 20 years old
The only other players to achieve the feat in the past 23 seasons are Lance Franklin and Chris Judd

I guess he was given a good run of games early on in his career but still, quite impressive I think.

I think Will can get better.

Looks like Jordan De Goey just ended his AFL career.

He is a grub of the highest order. However, he can play, has the ability to pay hush money and his club is Collingwood. So I'd say he will play on. Unlike relative nobodies like Elijah Taylor.

And here was I hoping we'd make a play for him at some stage. I'm glad he's not on our list. This type of behaviour is inexcusable.

Somewhere in the RWO Archives I have a comment naming De Goey as the player most likely to end up in prison. I don't think it was that hard a prediction.

It's funny that De Goey is charged with the same crime as former NY Governor Mario Cuomo. Maybe De Goey has a future in politics.

Sardonically funny. You know what I mean.

Like, it will be funny to see how it goes for them at Ryker's Island detention. He might learn a lot about inappropriate touching down there.

Not really. Isn’t Mario Cuomo dead?

Correct. His son Andrew is the groper.

By the way, what is it with people named Jordan and the off season trouble they cause ????

He 's a dirty ratbag , no loss for the competition

That's about the 3rd time this month I've gotten names mixed up. I think I know what that means.

And Liz, I don't think using satire to point out offensive actions is in itself offensive, unless one chooses to take it that way. Satire has long been one of the best ways to shine a light on what's wrong in society, from Shakespeare to George Carlin.

True. I think the other thing that’s getting insufficient attention in this story is how bad some of his dance moves are in the leaked Instagram videos. Surely they are grounds for dismissal alone
