So apparently Izzy Folau has had a falling out eith Rugby Australia and won't be donning the green and gold for the world cup. World class, professional athlete who has played the game with some success (GWS) and could bring him on as a category B rookie, so won't cost much. 

Sure he has some pretty strange beliefs such as everyone going to hell and that it's ok to keep slaves so pong as they are foreign, but these minor 'quirks' may even help galvanise the playing group. 

Thoughts? 

Oh for [censored] sake...

Go and have a lay down Chook!

Really? Let’s get Nick Kyrgios while we are at it!

I understand the apprehension but were not going to improve by doing same, same so lets try something out of the box. Izzy is too good to be lost to sport forever. 

Jesus H. Christ no.

I think I read somewhere that statistically Folau was the worst player to have ever played the game. not sure that sort of talent will help us much.

So as an approx. 23yo he managed all of 13 games over 2 seasons in the embryonic GWS (i.e. while they were [censored]), and now you want to bring him in as a 3yo - an age where players are in decline?

Underrated OP, very good @chookrat very good. 

Yes on the proviso that his missus comes with him.

She'd be a handy pick up for the shiella's side.

So apparently he’s had a falling out.....

Hahahahaha Gold chook!!!!

I'm guessing he wouldn't play for a team called 'the demons'. He's that sort of nutty. The saints on the other hand... 

We need good players. Folau isnt a good player. It would be pointless. Not sure the AFL could handle such a strong personality either.

Is this a ploy to get god on our side?

Get that other ex NRL playing K Hunt while we’re at it. 

Everything should be on the table, or mirror, or whatever. 

We would have to change our name from The Demons to The Evangelicals  and the theme song to the tune of ‘Praise the lord and pass the ammunition’ and tithe him 10% of all club revenue plus match payments and expenses before he would consider us.

That guy I'd put at CHF

HELL NO?

Israel Folau would look at the Melbourne Football Club now and for half a century, and immediately be inspired to quote scripture;

I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. - Deuteronomy 5:9

 

But I doubt there's any real danger of attracting Folau, we just can't fit the necessary shekels under the salary cap.

I sick of getting my hopes up when saviors arrive at the club.

He can go to hell!

Actually a good idea 

This is the kind of stuff that Captain Insano does to the bad guy.

This Chook dissociates himself from you, Chookrat.
