Thats not quite right, apparently his manager tried to get him across to Port or Adelaide but neither wanted him.

There's a reason for that, that's why I was saying that being in Adelaide wasn't going to do him any good, he needed a fresh start in a new environment.

yes it would of for the reason why he wanted out at GC

nope wasnt playing AFL regardless of which club would have taken them.

Proof is in the fact he had the option to come back and play in either of the AFL clubs reserves sides or Centrals but choose to play in the BL&G instead.

I know the lad pretty well and have done for about 10 years, he is a very gifted footballer and cricketer who is no stranger to changing clubs numerous times in the one season.
He didn't like being at the Gold Coast as he missed his friends and family but it's of my opinion that being away from his mates was his best option for success in the AFL.
If he hadn't of been injured during the season I'd say he would've still been there, being stuck at home in a foreign place took it's toll, I reckon he'll have another crack at the SANFL in due time.

That's what I've heard as well. Same source also said that neither SA AFL teams wanted him.

They didn't want him dogga asked at his request but neither club had any interest...

I think there's some correlation there.

And they offer from centrals Sanfl was a real nice offer,from the afl to the barrossa just like that..

More proof the SANFL has little relevance left

That's a bit of a stupid comment to tell the truth.
It has relevance if people who aspire to the highest level.
Can't help individuals that cannot be frucked.

Absolutely has relevance to the highest level as that is what it is there to support, it is now purely a development league.
If you have had or missed your chance at the highest level, it now has little relevance.

With Gawler Centrals signings as well fair to say little regard is being paid to the salary cap

How have GC managed to sign Lawson who was chasing well over $500 a game? Cant see Mercer or a few other teammates coming down to $500 per game...

From an earlier post, looks like he has gone elsewhere though.

Strange,

I know your close to Josh but it seems when it comes to sport Josh just isnt willing to put in any real hard work outside of gameday.

Its a shame because he has more skill in his little toe than most of us in our entire body.

Alot of us would give our left net to have the chances he has had at a variety of sport.

Just an observation is that he seems to chop and change his mind alot and tends to have alot of falling out with people.

I'm not that close to him mate, and everything u have written above I totally agree with. Just a absolute waste of talent . I watch kids that bust there ass off to play at the highest level (Sanfl )some never get the chance to play league not one game but they work there ass off 4 to 5 nights a week to play ressies then u have young josh world at his feet on a silver platter if u will and basically can't be f&cked.. Sad would have loved what he was given at 20 years old..

Completely agree. Its amazing he even got the 2nd chance he did at Central. Ive watched this kid from a young age and it seemed he always enjoyed being the big fish in a small pond. I was very excited he got a go at Gold Coast and thought he had mentally turned the corner. Word is he struggled socially at GC and despite leaderships groups efforts to get him out the house to socalise he wouldnt. GC is a LONG way from Elizabeth Grove!! To play AFL you need to be up to it physically and mentally, its very sad he only excelled in one of these. Wish him well at the Donnybrooks and hope he is finially happy doin what he does best, playin footy.

Can totally see that. I too was excited for him, especially when he kicked the first goal of his debut match, I though the world was at his feet,

The coin he is on is pretty fn good I'm blown away that he will get paid when he don't even play through injury..

Josh Glenn Would be spewing Craig Taylor is back in this league. Now Glenn is the 2nd biggest pick up in this comp!

Wonder who would be getting the bigger pay packet - Taylor doesn't play for fun and rumours suggest Glenn is on 4 figures.

Taylor plays for fun. Raking it in with home maintenance firm, Incompro. Great prices. Great service. Incompro is the go.
