He has done huge amounts for GG this year and kicking 100 goals is massive effort. My comment about earning your stripes was more based on last year Shrek. He was in a higher grade and had to work alot harder for his goals and spot in the side, at times he struggled to make an impact on the games. This year is when he could of really stepped up in Div 2 and shown that he isnt going to rely on his size to get him places and instead is going to work hard and prove he is one of the best big men in the SAAFL. Instead he dropped back to Div 5 where yes he has achieved a huge amount but against a lesser oposition.
Like i said really like the bloke but think he took the easy road (if his reasons for leaving where to do with not being appreciated as he stated)[/quote]
I guess it is a win/win then. Your club has gone forward without him which obviously shows the great depth you have there and we really benefitted from having him in our side. Talent and ticker are sometimes confused... some blokes just dont have that x-factor to drive them to step up... Maybe he's one... But he has sure been great for us and like you, I like the bloke too... afterall, at that size, do you think I'm going to say otherwise !!!

I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.
