Des Headland retires ...

[Red and Blue Bloke 20]

Goodbye to one of the most stupid footballers there was.

The man who gets a stupid tattoo and carries on stupidly when someone says something stupid about it.

I remember sitting behind the pocket at the 'G in the week following the resulting media circus, Freo started to get on top of the Dees, Headland kicks a goal, circles around to where I was sitting and sticks his middle fingers up at the crowd.

No-one had called anything out, [censored] just decided he would use the opportunity to express his frustration about the past week at those who were sitting there, he was unable to realise that he had caused the problem in the first place with his stupid tattoo and stupid reaction.

Either that or he is an even more stupid and just thought he would stick his fingers up at us.

He had clearly bought a friend of similar intellect as a Freo supporter moments later yelled out "[censored] you Melbourne Jews! You are all [censored] Jews! The [censored] Jewish club you are!"

One of those days where you think that maybe you should have done something else that day.

Sorry. I've been living under a rock. Who's Des Headland and what did he do?

I think you need to either say his opinion was stupid, or alternatively ask Des if he thinks he is stupid...

You have to feel sorry for him. Biggest waste of unfulfilled talent.

Appalling sock-c**k frontrunner.

the bonus was he clogged the freo list for at least the last 3 years...another disappointing #1 draft pick. Only good in a great side ie brisbane at their peak.

In the final last week, I couldn't believe they picked him over a young fit player....5 minutes of the field lol

Yeah I have to say that since that episode Des has been my most hated AFL footballer. In fact, I don't know if I dislike ANY other footballer more in the history of the game. That being said, he is not really worthy of such a passionate opinion being such a [censored]-poor footballer. But still, I just hate the bloke. [censored] off Des. And whoever that Freo supporter was, he can go stick his bigoted opinions where the sun don't shine. There's absolutely no need for that type of racism at the football or anywhere in our society. I hope that bloke lives a sad lonely life and dies a horrible lonely death.

His tattoo was of his daughter... Truthfully was not surprised with his reaction after what Selwood said about his daughter....

[darkhorse72 1,916]

with the tattoo...if i had a go at a guys tattoo in a game, him telling me it was his young daughter would have shut me up pretty quick about it...he reacted wrong and should have been rubbed out.
