Glad he’s able to go around again.

He sounds confident about how we’re shaping up for the season ahead!

I'm worried though because he's really, really, really old

That's true. They say I change when the sun goes down.

Great news. We've been very, very lucky with the no-fuss way that guys like Libba, Bont and Macrae have gone about their contract extensions.

Unbelievably good player. Freakish ability to get ball and distribute accurately.

[Ozza]

He's still one of the players who can influence and get momentum going back in our way. Unbelievable how he is going. A few years back he was starting to look like he was gone - and our ladder position reflected his drop off at the time. So important to us.

Can never forget the difference getting Tom and Jack Macrae back from injury in time for the 2016 finals. Absolutely the difference!

They were big ins at that time coming off the pre finals break in 2016. All the those Bulldog finals were great in 2016. The Hawks Semi was fantastic knocking off the 3 time premiers in a come from behind win.

Wasn’t his younger brother supposed to be pretty good ? I wonder what happened to him.

Yes Ollie was his name...Oliver. BT will know.

Moving this to the Tom Liberatore thread.

So that is four concussions for Libba in the last year.

Fremantle @ Perth
Hawthorn @ Tasmania
Essendon @ Marvel

Hawthorn in Tasmania https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/4973#match-report (video in the match report)


After rewatching these and then seeing what we have seen against the Bombers and now Hawthorn next year, I think he will have to strongly consider his future in the game. He probably will not even have a choice. They are too similar and they have all happened in a short period of time.

Four concussions in the last year. Three concussions in his last ten games.

Incredibily emotional and sad. But I do think we have seen the last of Libba.

I don't even want to think about it tbh.

Yeah one of my all time favourite bulldogs. It was bloody sad to see him stumble at the game I was more thinking of him last night than Bevo to be honest.
