Makes a mockery of him wanting to return home from Essendon when a few years later he’s happy to leave again


But when home doesn't want you, you'd go anywhere to try and continue your career.

If he gets and keeps his body right there’s a position in the forward line for him for sure.


Not sure about that but I still think it's a free throw at the stumps for us. I said to my 14yo son that one element we're missing is a senior small forward who can educate the Durdin/Motlop crew on how/where to position themselves in the contest. I hope he can assist us in achieving that.

I hope we persist with Motlop in the starting 18 as he showed good signs in the back half of the season.
I’m not sure Durdin is up to it but happy to be proven wrong by him.
Fantasia is the natural forward that we are missing up there but he has to get his body right first.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Cue Jim amending the above to reflect days since their last premiership in 3, 2, 1...
