Says he cant keep up with training, and his body cant cope. He wants to work on business and charity in PNG. Should we look to trade for him when he retires?

Mal's from New Guninea!!

Wow, never knew that. I thought he was aboriginal.

[Chow-Chicker]

No need to trade, you just pick him up in the PSD like the Bombers did. Costs you nuffin.

[Matt79]

I'd give the Bummers Ben Matthews for him.

He is aboriginal...........to PNG.

He's a violent thug who brought shame to the Australian jumper. Good riddance to him.

I may be wrong, but are you thinking of Chris Johnson from the Lions?

Probably but they all look the same, don't they?

Well it was Mal Michael that ran into Nick Riewoldt when Riewoldt did his shoulder that night, If I remember correctly, so Saints supporters would call him a thug.

It was about half a dozen Lions players at some point - one or both of the Scott boys were involved....

Mal started at 68Kg and went to 100kg.... thats a hell of a lot of conditioning, although you look at Voss when he started he was a skinny kid and turned into an axe.

Mal now reckons that getting heavy doesn't work in the current game....and he can't make an impact against athletes now.

I reckon this is full stop.

Gave him crap down at Port Melbourne v Bendigo a few weeks back. In fact he copped it large from a lot of people over the fence.

Serves him right, burning Brisbane by 'retiring' and having them forgive his contract and then lobbing as Essendon. A snake effort, should've been dealt with by the AFL.

That said, awesome that a Collingwood discard goes to another club and takes out 3 premiership medals from 4 attempts hehehe.
