Lofty is Off

[Aussie Rules]

Hi Guys. I come in peace.

 

Been very good reading the many comments about Doug Loft. It is very rare that a player (particularly at our level) leaves a club with almost universal praise and best wishes.

 

Most leave under a cloud of "he was rubbish anyway" or "Judas", even the best players at a club. You know the sort of thing. It happens at ours when players leave. They turn from dynamite to clogger overnight.

 

Anyway, we've long suspected Doug is a decent player at Div1 level. We now know he is the sort of player that endears himself to fans through hard work, endeavour and no little skill. As you all say, he will be missed by your club, but I'm sure you'll have some quality signings just around the corner that will have you looking forward to the new season.

 

Good luck (except the games v us) and I'm sure Lofty will do us proud and we'll do our best to take care of him for you.

 

Oh, any chance Tom Pope is looking to move Darn Sarf? :D

 

 

We wish Lofty all the very best, but stay away from Tom or there will be bother between us

We are sorry to see Lofty go but family comes first.One thing you are guaranteed is that he'll give you 100% each game.Good luck for next season apart from the obvious two games against us.

Good luck Lofty

Yes but a large percentage of his goals have come from penalties, something that most players could score, I disagree don't think we would miss him too much at all, he was poor last season.

 

Aside from Lofty who has also left name a decent penalty taker we have...

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

With our record on shootouts over the past 10 years, I'd disagree with that!

 

Bang on, this conversation will rear it's ugly head next season unless we get someone in that can take them.
