Can’t believe both Ambrose and Pears are leaving to be firemen.
Well our female supporter base just shrunk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR08jezKO28 Thanks Tayte. This game is my most vivid memory of him. Several times he burned off Fevola who couldn't be bothered chasing. Think he may have kicked a goal that night as well?Thanks Tayte … I will always remember you for this game… u r legend
You do realise Fev smashed 12 beers the night before that game after losing a quaddy?
That I’m 90% certain he borrowed money from Gatto to place
Thanks Tayte, you achieved playing for a great EFC with most of us only dream of. All the best for your future.
For those whinging, what’s the difference between retirement and quitting? Not in impact but in definition? Which one is more apt here and why?

I’m not whinging, but the difference is in implication. In AFL reporting players quit clubs and retire from football. O’Meara was reported as quitting Gold Coast, Justin Clarke was reported as retiring (due to concussion). I guess sometimes players “call it quits” when they retire, but generally “Player X Quits” implies they want to leave their club. I think people are being a little oversensitive about it, but starting with “BANNED DON” doesn’t get things off to the best start.
Not to put too fine a point on it, . but so do I.SODOHAI
For those whinging, what's the difference between retirement and quitting? Not in impact but in definition? Which one is more apt here and why?I guess it's the language and what it (seemingly) is trying to imply. Imagine if you didn't read the story (which some wouldn't), what would you get from:
“Banned Don Quits”
versus
“Injury Plagued Bomber Retires”
???
Subtle uses of language like that are often used in headlines to inflame or try to manipulate. Now this headline could be entirely innocent (as you are right, he has technically quit the club/football) but given the first word in the headline is “Banned” when the supplement saga wasn’t the key issue with Pears at the very least it’s clickbait. Note also they could have gone with “calls it quits” which in Australian vernacular has a far softer meaning that “quits”.
Only 26.
“Retire in disgust” just doesn’t have the same resonance as “quit in disgust”, does it?

But he is a banned Don and he has quit footy?

No he’s not, he’s a injury plagued Bomber who has been forced to retire.
Sorry to see him retire however he has had some terrible injuries. Saw him do some magical stuff in the day. All the best.
He'll work at the Fire Brigade for Extremely Good Looking People.
Hahaha,
I’m gonna be one of his instructors
Thanks and well done Tatye on your contribution to our club.
All the best in the future in whatever you do.
Are you teaching the first bit, or the second bit?He'll work at the Fire Brigade for Extremely Good Looking People.Hahaha,

afl website… LOLZ
Footy live app has had a picture of Ambrose under Tayte’s profile all year. Different picture to this one
It’s a crying shame that ugly people can’t tell all us hotties apart. Symmetry can be confusing I suppose.
