I think Meredith was delisted and Quinn will probably be on a plane home soon enough.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Confirmed last night to a crowd of over 5000 in Castlewellan that he will not be returning to Collingwood. Just the news I had wanted to hear, as I was worried he may have left after this year. Good news for Down and good news for the GAA.

Clarke wasn't getting a game in the top side for Collingwood at the end of the 2009 season. Collingwood have improved out of sight since Clarke left and he certainly wouldn't be getting a game now. If he was going back to the AFL it would be to another club.

Collingwood got 30,000 to watch training today. Strange bunch Magpie supporters

Is Walsh home or going back?

True but that's largely because he was getting homesick and in two minds over the whole thing.
The season before that he was excellent.
Ask the Collingwood fans would they take him back and I think they'd love to have him again.

He was too late to get into St Mary's for the 09/10 semester and I understand he isn't going to St Mary's this year either.

Possibly he's content with his post coaching football.
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

maybe he didnt want to start his couse and then nt be able to finish it, and big mc keever is at home ion portgle1 there atm

Wish I was back in Fresher's week drunk at 11.40am.

bloodybreakball

wt i was trying to say was maybe he didnt want to join the couse this sept. and then maybe leave next september to go back to oz. i hope as much as everone else that he stays cos he's a great asset to football. and the other point that i was trying to make was that big niall mc keever from portglenone (portglen1) is at home recovering from cruciate surgery and has been for a while, by all accounts is turned into a well built fella now

It's not turning out to be as big a threat as Mickey Harte suggested it might then?
