Are you serious give me a spell
If you work your ass off for a whole year and a club gives you good indications all year, course u will be surprised and disappointed when they suddenly tell you they've changed their mind. Ryan is a great guy, have a bit of respect especially if you don't know the details
Yes I am serious
Firstly, we are talking about a bloke who's been in the system how long? Who took something not prescribed by a club doctor. He may be a great guy but to do that, to do something that's completely the opposite to what's drummed into them from the day they are drafted is stupid.
Secondly, he is entitled to be disappointed not disputing that but being 30+ His chances of getting another comtract were a long shot, quite naive to think otherwise
what did he take?
a sudafed? oh my gosh was a flippin female Chinese swimmer
crowley said a few years ago in an interview he would focus so much on his job, the player he was given by the coach for the upcoming games he would often get migraines
was charles a flat out drug cheat?
for mine there a significant difference between a casserly or crowley, or a justin charles compared to dank/hird type systematic drug cheating, not trying to recover from injury but systematically drug cheat over the course of years to unnaturally improve ones muscles
and ironically breaking down with a flurry of soft tissue injuries in the 2nd half of seasons - too much juice too soon
crowley is significantly better at football than grigg
in the similar way that watts or howe are better than chaplin
or kreuzer better than hampson
the phenomenon of richmond fans thinking other players are rubbish, while quiet content to watch week in week out, more rubbish senior contracted players
