I have one simple question:

Would anyone have given a shyt if BC was a GOP?

The irony is that HE built the circus... walked the tightrope... did some major juggling and came otu looking like a clown.

At 30, and a GOP, I doubt he would have been drafted.


The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

(He has already admitted he has a problem and has sought counselling and treatment) I think he is making his manager look stupid, and I think he is making his family look stupid. ( how?) And at the end of the day he is showing where his allegances lye. If he wants to play footy there are plenty of second tier clubs that would take the risk. (He wants to play AFL and if he is good enough why shouldn't he?)
Personally I dont have a problem with our club saying they dont want to have drugs at the club (and how do you know that the ones that are already on two strikes for testing positive arnt at our club already), and they dont want the players associating with criminals.

It doesnt mean individuals cant take that path if they want to, but that those individuals wont be at our club.

Doubt it, no-one would have even considered drafting him if he was a GOP, sure there wouldn't be a media circus necause no one would give two hoots.
True... I was being flippant, the question was pointless.

Of course I'm more concerned about what he could offer us than we him.
