It's actually quite a well-written article: sort of moving in a way.
But I'm not quite sure about "chiselled Adonis": Fraser has a very impressive body, but I don't think his face quite has the "glorious beauty" of the Adonis of Greek Myth!!

I will say that if Thomas was still around, there might've been a big chance of Fraser staying 1 more year....seems the insight and connection he was able to develop with the big fella was quite deep.
I think all will agree.....he will be sorely missed.....even if hes not in top form.....
He gets more saints/opposition supporters out of their seats than any1 of our players.....people literally sit on the edge of their seats wondering what he'll do next.....
It's a very sad time 2 see him go.....
One Love Fras

a quote from that article;
" he was sending a message to all of those supporters over the years that have been frustrated and who have ridiculed him. He wants them to remember the best of what he had to offer .."
and that's all I do remeber; "the best of what he had to offer".
I consider myself immensly fortunate to have been able to spend a few hours in the company of the big fella a few years back, during a mid-season break; at Kooralbyn Resort in QLD.
He was truly a 'gentle giant'. Amazingly polite, funny, witty, and incredibly accomodating to BakesFan jnr (who was about 9 at the time).
I'll miss Fraser at FF terribly next year. My only consolation will be that (hopefully) he is happy.
Best wishes, Fraser.

GT has an ego problem
Can someone tell me why it was important to Thomas to intimate in the article, albeit obliquely, that Fraser had actually informed him he was going to retire. I know why. Thomas needs accolades and self-importance. He has to tell people in his snide way that he is still in contact with the player and wants you to "think" that he has an intimate relationship with Gehrig. I don't recall Gehrig as being so overtly complimentary about Thomas as he was about Lyon. If Thomas cared only about St. Kilda he would also cease his subtly undermining activities.
