His kids will have retired and his grandkids will have played enough games for his great grandkids to be eligible to play for us.... :shh

Maybe it keeps getting stalled because they have no real evidence against him. Seems ATM he is only guilty by association.  This case it seems, will drift along until eventually all charges will be dropped. Time will tell.

And he’ll get sentenced to serve in a nursing detention centre home
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

That'd be bloody right...might not be so important that we get him to the ton after all... :shh

Oldest is 14....eligible for Coates Talent League pathway next year and the draft in three years which is around the same time Tassie will start getting picks - so having a couple of gun F/S prospects by then and during those years would be quite handy.... :shh

He's on 87 games already.

Despite ageing and at times being questionable for our best 22 it would be quite negligent not to get him to 100 games, even if that means using him as the sub.

Any potential advantage we can get in the draft needs to be exploited as much as possible.

‘At times being questionable for our best 22’ is the understatement of the year. Been droppable by a big margin for a solid 2 years.

Need to do our best to ensure he gets to 100 .. Honestly we would be absolutely crazy not to. He is AFL quality for 100 so it's justified.

As much as I think he is an absolutely liability, IMO the club can't spruik future this and future that if we don't get him there.

At that point thank him for his 2019 display and shut the door on him  very quickly.
