Essendon player.

Ok I will try to suggest an incurable skin disease next time I take to twitter bullying Brendan:)
the Adelaide fans do go a bit feral I remember Kim Coster moving from the Dogs to Adelaide he did his knee in his first game and while he was off in the Ambulance the Kick a Vic campaign was running and incensed fans took their frustrations out on the car with vic plates after a loss in the car park smashing it to pieces. It just happened it was kim's who hadn't had time to change them over yet. Good times.

Re: Leave Brendan Alone I say
Have you ever left a job but your employer wanted you to stay? Football is a business. What free agency has proven is that this so-called club loyalty culture in the AFL isn't quite what it was made out to be.8856brother wrote:With all due respect SS. If we are ok to lose BJ under those circumstances, you would have also been ok with players like Barker, Loewe, Riewoldt, Harvey, Lenny, Dal or any other of our champs departing because they got a "better deal".SydneySainter wrote:Gave his all, especially when it counted.
Did everything right by the Saints and left because he got a better deal.
Fair enough I say.
Most of the above mentioned have been offered bigger $'s but never left. They are all Saints legends. BJ will never be.
Bad management is bad management

Re: Leave Brendan Alone I say
Your asking that question to the wrong person SS. I got my first job at 18 and am still with the same employer today, 24 years later. I have had opportinities to leave, never for huge cash admittedly, but am happy doing what I do, and living where I live. I don't like change.SydneySainter wrote:Have you ever left a job but your employer wanted you to stay? Football is a business.

Fair question. Just not the perfect person to ask it to.

Re: Leave Brendan Alone I say
whilst very disenchanted with his decision
it is sad he is caught up with the rude and crude twitter behaviour that has also affected Tippett.

Re: Leave Brendan Alone I say
Another professional athlete who also goes by the nickname BJ, is to become a free-agent as of today.
BJ Upton of the MLB team the Tampa Bay Rays, most likely played his final game with the team he has been with his entire career.
It seems American sports fans are accepting of the inevitabilty of a player leaving because of free-agency. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?conte ... 3&c_id=mlb
