Does the club then have exclusive rights to select such trainees or can another team pick them?

He qualifies as the only player with the surname Aliir and the first name Aliir.

As much as I like the nickname 'Ziggy', it must be remembered that Bowey rhymes with Yowie, not with Bowie. Older posters may remember his father Brett running around for St Kilda.

Quite the interesting chap, Paul Madigan. I used to love his radio show on 3RRR in the early 80s. High calibre band as well, featuring two Daddy Cools and a Skyhook. Did Doody perform at the gigs?

This is officially known as a "Plantar Fasciitis" injury.

Whinging about players' hairstyles makes you sound like an old fuddy-duddy. It couldn't be less relevant.
