Jumping at shadows as usual Stevo? YFOSAU. Where did I say that Gaff is a mummy's boy? I didn't. I made generalised comments about footballers in...

If it's any consolation Barry, I do agree that in many cases the go-home-factor is total BS. But I can see how in Gaff's case it may not be. And he...

You are taking a highly pedantic line here Liz! If I had added the words "I think" to my post, would you be happier? I think Healy's observation...

Do you and Barry not read all the posts or read the news? Where's this 'mummy's boys' stuff coming from? It's his father and his ill health that is...

Whatever. It's Gaff's choice where he chooses to live, not yours. He's been in the AFL system long enough to have earned the right to decide where...

Whether any of that is especially interesting comes down to personal taste. But what's intriguing about it? Is there anything new or mysterious...

Sydney great Gerard Healy says trading Tom Mitchell has come back to bite the Swans: Category: | Herald Sun There are some interesting /...

My parents are in the UK. And if one of them was at death's door, I'd go home, potentially even move back if it was a long-term thing. Perth is a...

You'll find in life, not many people move and change job when their parent is ill. They, you know, visit regularly. Quite easy when you job brings...

We have all no doubt stuffed up in our lives one way or another Let’s move on from that He did it once only He is no Toby Greene His hit...

i doubt suspended players are not allowed on the bench He is gone but will be a Melb club If i was West coast id give 700k and say take it or leave...

Seriously! His father has a serious heart condition.

Socks say Collingwood to me

OK, but MLB, NBA, NHL etc would never deny home field/court entitlement. NFL at least has neutral venue.

Players don't strike over venue...believe me. They strike over $$$$.

Yep they’re soft as butter

Good post. I like Australia's 'she'll be right' attitude generally but not when sporting and political organizations have the same slackish attitude...

+1. I'm beginning to think that AFL players are a bunch of mummy's boys. When I was their age I'd go weeks without seeing my parents. Aren't they...

He actually looks still disturbed by the out of character incident he was involved in. Could understand if he wanted a future removed from hard core...

This makes the most sense, logically, but yet you have to wonder why he hasn't signed yet. That also seems mad, if he intended to stay. Another...

It's not just about people being home sick. You might have an unwell family member you want to support or be with. That can bring you closer to...

As if it's because he wants his Mummy! His father (an even older 'grown man') is severely ill and he wants to be closer to him. Sometimes it's not...

4 good points there.....the last one sucks!:wink:

In the USA, for example, no sporting organisation would dare let this situation arise. If perchance they did, there would be player strike action and...

"Closer to family" is BS. They are grown men, not 13 year old boarding school students wetting the bed. He's on great $$ now and his team is in...

It hasn't been a good final series. Hopefully the grand final is exciting. About time that a non swans grand final was close! (Apart from '09 & '10...

They could fine them all, they could bankrupt them, but aren't they then spiting themselves by then. And for what, to protect one particular venue ?...

Another free agent that is rarely discussed, inside beast, has a connection to the Swans, and would come cheaper than Gaff... LIBBA!

He wants to be closer to family Doesn't like Perth Wants to leave town after punching Andrew Brayshaw Wants to earn more money Wants to follow...

Ok, sorry, in my opinion it’s silly talk. 4 point behind in a competition where every win counts. Lost revenue. And I think you overrate the...
