I suggested that he see's how this season goes at a new club and I'll accept whatever he decides at the end of it.
His new team have been super receptive towards him, during last week's awards the coach said he thinks he has a real crack at the association medal this season so I thought I'd count his stats yesterday, he racked up 27 kicks, 2 handballs, 12 marks, 5 tackles and kicked 4.2, he even managed 2 hit outs aswell, wasn't a bad effort after having stints on the bench in the 3rd & 4th quarters.
I'm run down and suffer from the big black dog at times but his footy gives me something to look forward to each week, moreso seeing the enthusiasm he has for it again and he comes out of his shell talking about it on the journey home, he's an ultra quiet kid who's quite modest so seeing him glow makes parenthood gold!
That is brilliant!
Our team has a excellent coach and team manager which is great for the kids
