Don't get me wrong he was well remunerated, but it's a win win with the club going from strength to strength now competing in division 1 with Brodie Holland as coach (Monty's mate).
Yeah, the flow on bonus of having a guy like that around is immeasurable for a local club.

Brian started with Caroline Springs with 12 weeks from the AFL (16 weeks less 25% discount), plus something from under 19s, cops a 2 match suspension and is now effectively banned for life. It's farcical.
Ex-AFL players are great for local footy, they attract supporters and generate interest and income for clubs. Surely we want them involved, not banned?
Agreed. Why would an ex AFL player play local footy and virtually run around with a nong target on their back for any hero to have a go at them if the competition isn't going to take that into account.
Are you just supposed to take it?
Not happy about the lack of an appeal process either. That's wrong for a start.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Following our ex's...................
Seems extremely harsh to only do a 25% discount for AFL. He got 4 weeks for rough conduct that probably isnt even a 50m penalty in the local leagues.

And sooking up to Golf Australia about it.
Here's a tip, Jason. If you're behaviour is at the stage that three separate golf clubs have told you you're no longer welcome, chances are that maybe, just maybe, you're the one with the problem...

Nah! It's definitely everyone else who is at fault. Especially Adam Cooney...

It's called the honeymoon period.
Everything is fine when the team is winning and it's all new and shiny. The true test will be when injuries hit, form dips and he starts missing more targets than he hits...which will eventually happens. Then we'll see how everyone gets around him.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Is a premiership player automatically a club legend and immortal?

Seriously?
Ummm, yes. At a club like ours a premiership player is an immortal and a legend.

While I understand the sentiment I think it's a highly flawed one.
Bestowing phrases like immortal and legend on players because of one game I don't think is right and it's probably one of the reasons why we dipped back so far since the grand final. I get it but I don't agree with it
