    Re: How Best to Say Thanks and Appreciate Gia?

    We don't want to Koschitzke him.

    So, there should be a firm announcement prior that x will be his last match and appropriate ceremony made of it.

    (otherwise the players might hire a dwarf on Mad Monday, call him the coach's name, and then set him on fire).
    Officially on the Bus-wagon

        I don't think Gia playing one game over a young bloke is really going to effect any development. Give him a full game as a fairwell (as a player at least) and thank you, he shouldn't be sub even though he is bloody good at it. He is a great of the club and deserves a proper send off.

            I'd like to second this.

            It'll cost someone one game, but it might be justifiable on form anyway and we have played worse players this season.

            Gia deserves some recognition, we had masks for a player who played the last couple of years at our club (Barry Hall). Besides it might help with attendance in an otherwise meaningless match in the Sunday twilight fixture against GWS.
            I should leave it alone but you're not right

                My wife heard me talking about how much I love Gia and that I want a happy ending... Apparently Gia is an Angelina Jolie movie where she does full nudity.

                My wife thought something different than this thread topic...

                    To be honest I prefer players to only get a game if they deserve a game. I think that this is the very basis for building a strong team and any emotionally driven decision to celebrate an individual over the team is a mistake.

                    If he earns a recall then play him, if not then put him in a car and parade him around the ground.


                    The best way to celebrate Gia would be to win games and if he sets the example of team before individual right to the very last then he will leave a lasting legacy for our young pups to aspire to.

                        I liken Gia to Rob Lowe's character Sam on West Wing:- smart, well spoken, immaculately presented and good looking to boot. (Sigh.....).

                        Back to post. I think he needs to be in team on merit so it may be a boundary circuit farewell. However a part of me would love him to be super sub again.

                        Our day will come
                        And we'll have everything.
                        We'll share the joy
                        Just like '54 again.

                            Hear hear. A champion of the club deserves no less.

                                It's available on YouTube.
                                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                    I'd like to see him get a farewell gig same match as the farewell Lenny game. Let's even up the heart-string factor
                                    I'm paying money, the girl's happy, she's got no money, I got my rocks off, how good is this...

                                        When was the last game Gia played at AFL or VFL level? Feels like it's been 5 or 6 weeks!

                                            He's played VFL the last few weeks. AFL would've been against port?
                                            More of an In Bruges guy?

                                                Ah, I wasn't aware he's played VFL during this time. Saw a game a few weeks ago and he wasn't there (v Box Hill maybe?)
