Plenty of state league interest in delisted Western Bulldogs defender Kieran Collins. Had three years with the Dogs but also eight operations. Still only 20 and a chance to get a second AFL listing.

Confused? Is this news that Kieran is attracting interest from the VFL/WAFL/SANFL or other AFL clubs? It's contradicting.
Twice in two years. Missed premiership. Today is when he needs to be happy with his decision to knock back his slap on the wrist. If he is that's great. If he's got doubts about his career might have gone otherwise, then that's going to linger.

Yep, very true. No doubt there will be an underlying resentment by a number of the former EFC players. When things are going well, they'll be fine but out of the AFL club "bubble" i wonder how they'll go? Hopefully Stew has his off-field situation in order and career prospects to continue on with.

I don't believe for a minute that his decision to maintain his innocence was to blame. I only hope he gives himself an out, and blames the Essendon camp for their "whatever it takes" attitude, and their lack of consideration for their players' welfare, careers and post football futures.

but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

For sure there's plenty of blame, and Essendon has responsibility for what happened, not sure there's any doubt on that. The issue he has to reconcile, now his career is over today, is whether he's happy he instructed Gordon Legal to knock back the slap on the wrist they got for him. That was his, and his own, decision to make. If he's happy with it, that's good. If there's regret about it, then he might have to work through that. And sue the arse off Essendon and everyone there at the time.
Slim, his father (a great bloke) has a string of businesses, I assume he's got a spot in that empire if he wants it.

Former Melbourne star Brian Wilson has told Triple M's Hot Breakfast he's lost his 1982 Brownlow Medal.
Wilson jumped on the phone to pump up his Demons, noting he'll attend his first final since 1988 - his playing days - on Friday night.
During the chat he let slip that he lost his Brownlow Medal moving houses, which took the guys aback.
"At my house, I have no trophies, I don't have any photos (at home)," he explained to Triple M.
"I actually have lost my Brownlow Medal and it's gone, about six years ago."
Wilson said it was meant to be a gift for his daughter on her 18th birthday, and that was the only reason he was worried about it.
"It was always meant for the first born and it was meant for her, so we tried to find it and it's gone. She made that little announcement on her 18th birthday," he said.
"Apart from that, I've never been one to worry about awards or anything like that...it's just something that I never worried about. I never, ever looked at that sort of stuff.

Maybe Ben Cousins has/had it?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
