Gee that really gives a young player confidence and keeps him fit and in form to not play any footy. Good way of loosing young gifted players from our game at an age when they are easily swayed to other areas in life. Maybe someone from Alberton way can give me a SATISFACTORY answer????
The player in question is a Port Adelaide Magpies player first and foremost. He signed a contract at the start of the season, saying he is with the Port Magpies.
There are some strict guidelines in regards to training sessions (including recovery sessions). If you miss them and there is no real reason then you can expect to be penalised.
The player you are referring to is very talented, but would admit himself that he has done the wrong thing.
Its also not the first time this player has done it this season.
There is also another gifted player who will probably be drafted at seasons end in the same boat this weekend.
The rule is the same for all players. All very well to be talented, but you also need to be disciplined and commited as well.
What is his home club?? (SAAFL side)
