Yes it’s a difficult time we are in, and it’s unprecedented.. but I do know there are plenty of blokes who are happy to put their hand out for incentives when the going is good, happy to jump ship for a pay day, no thought or care to how they leave the club behind.. I’m sure mental health doesn’t play a factor when negotiating those dollar signs.
Fisher may not be one of those blokes.. but given there is history, as an outsider you gotta wonder - is it Broadies, or is it him?
What’s the purpose of stopping him from playing local footy though Bedge? I am throwing the mental health card at this one mate - people play footy as an outlet, to get away from their jobs and to have some fun with mates. The guy works in CPS and needs to now play local as he lives in houses overnight and during weekends. Others have lost their jobs, footy is all they have now.
I fail to see what Broadview gain from denying their right to a game of footy, regardless of what the issue was. They were sh*tty because the way Jacko got sacked and they voiced their opinion at a club meeting which they had every right to do as players and left.
Big whoop players leave clubs for good money, loyalty isn’t what it was. How can you blame anyone who is on $650 $1,000 a week from their day job who can make that plying a game of footy? It’s helping set young blokes up now. Clubs dispose of players just as easily now, it’s a vicious cycle and we all are accepting of it because at one point or another all of our clubs will be beneficiaries of a good year of player influx.
They gain nothing from this, they aren’t contracted and haven’t been there since 2018. Time to get the hand off it and let everyone play the 8 or 9 games we have left this year.
This is not the year to be pulling a stunt like this.
