Ha, was thinking the exact same thing.Dr Spaceman wrote:McEvoy no good?
And yet others fear GWS are going to snaffle him away from us with a truckload of cash and falafels.
So which is it then?

Now that is actually completely untrue.

Def not a forced retirement the club woul have loved for him to go again but the injurys were mounting and taking longer to heal ... We got the absolute 100% we could out of Gardi looking back he should be very proud of how he turned his career around with us

Gardi's career was every bit in the toilet as Cousins was...but with less publicity. The fact he was able to turn his career, and more importantly, his personal life around and overcome the demons plaguing him, is something he and the club should be proud of. He gave his all for the club and almost got us there in 2009.

Re: Hate to repeat it but McEvoy...
I would say it had a lot to do with the team sydney played against us. With out Dal santo and montagna in the midfield and no real options with rebound defenders with Clarke, Gilbert and Gwilt missing it made us look a little less impressive. Big Mac isn't a brilliant ruck man yet but he will be soon.

Re: Hate to repeat it but McEvoy...
very harsh on macca. i reckon he is really very good and still developing.
nice if he got a bit of relief from time to time. poor bugger shouldering a big load this year and last.
if macca goes down we truly are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaked.
So this has to be one of the dumber posts ive seen. Seriously - we are in all sorts without macca.
