The boys paid for Clay to have a holiday to the US in response to his most recent injury.

But Clay's situation is a little different, yeah?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Possibly, I have read some comments from players talking about getting out of town mid recovery etc before though so am assuming the idea isn't that uncommon.

Libba can thank Harley Bennell for taking the drug heat this week.
Oh, boy.

Seriously who didn't pick that?

Re: Tom Liberatore
Sounds odd.
We punish him by not letting him go to Europe, so instead we send him to Thailand and say it's because there's good knee treatment there? Right..

Nothing from the club as yet
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Dougie used to have a holiday every weekend when he did his knee.

What do you mean when he did his knee? The Hawk was on holiday every weekend. A couple of hours of it he played footy but the rest of the weekend was Doug time.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Tom Liberatore
Gordon statement on Liberatore
Western Bulldogs President Peter Gordon has issued the following statement:
The Western Bulldogs have recently dealt with some behaviour by Tom Liberatore which has been unacceptable to the Club.
While the Club accepts that Tom has had some difficult issues to deal with in 2015, the recent behaviour failed to meet our standards and expectations of him.
In consultation with Tom and his advisers, the Club has had a detailed plan in place for Tom's education and rehabilitation in 2015, as well as his participation in supporting his teammates and the team. That plan has now been modified to reflect his recent behaviour.
The Club has and will continue to provide Tom with all relevant support. We have also, and will continue to, make our expectations very clear to him.
In our view, the provision of further detail about these circumstances would not be in Tom's best interests for recovery and rehabilitation. For that reason, the Club has not commented and does not propose further comment.
We hope our members and supporters understand the Club's position in this regard.

I am so disappointed with this. To think he was put in the leadership group. Should have been Wally.

Re: Tom Liberatore
We can only hope this is a case of trying to stamp out behaviour before it gets too far, because this does not bode well.

We don't really know what's going on here, far be it for me to defend him but prior to this he was doing some excellent work supporting Footscray, and we all commented on his dedication and how he has turned it around.
Obviously he has some issues and something has changed. I must say when i saw him with the bad afro and moustache he looked like he hadn't been outside for a few weeks and that did worry me. A few weeks later this happens.

I must admit when I saw the hairdo and the porno moustache I didn't like the look of it.

Re: Tom Liberatore
I don't understand why we'd put out a public statement like that. It's given the gutter trash journos something to speculate on and what would have blown over quickly will be something that hangs around. Could we or would we have been better off just to say nothing? Genuine question.
