Alroy Gilligan

According to the Hun today, Gilligan has been granted leave to return to WA to sort out some personal issues.

Not known when he will return.

Not sure he will be back myself. The writing was on the wall after the draft. With us grabbing Taylor, Roberts, Nason and even Dea, there looks to be plenty in the small forward queue, before we even consider Nahas.

Translation: He buggered off, without permission. To admit that would be embarrassing. So he gets a leave pass. </spin>


> The small forward from Fitzroy Crossing was not at the club's jumper presentation on Friday.

Well, duh!

Seriously, just passing on what I know. He might be back at the club *now* (I hope he is) but he had been missing for a number of weeks, a mystery to them all.

Cheers,

Good scoop Stu.
Not sure where this leaves Alroy.

Ah well, I guess this is the beauty of the Rookie list, you can take a punt without costing a place on the main list.

I hope Alroy sorts out his issues & makes something of his opportunity.

Actually, he said that Gilligan went walk about and the club had no idea where he was and this wasn't the first time. That article says we granted him permission to leave and go home to sort out some issues. That's a big difference. Although I doubt Jon Ralph would print that so who knows.

That would be what is said to the press/public.Behind closed doors Disco could very well be right.

I'II go with Stu's version.
 
I thought Alroy was a small back pocket player, not a small forward.
