QuoteFREMANTLE youngster Viv Michie has suffered a season-ending knee injury playing for Peel Thunder in the WAFL on Saturday.

I feel for this young bloke. Has immense talent but this will be his 3rd big injury in 3 years at the club.

Just read the story on AFL site. Cant believe he is injured again especially after getting his foot finaly right.

Hopefully he gets another contract

FFS poor kid. I guess he's getting it operated on in Melbourne to save him from travelling home?

My guess is that's where the best surgeons are

Contract runs out at the end of the year as well. Does he get another??

He definitely should. There are others on the list I would cut before him

As I've stated before, massive fan of this guy. Hopefully it all goes well and he recovers nicely. Freo better retain him.

Only just enough in front of him to cut before him

Faulks/Crichton and Pitt (retire for health reasons). Other than that, who would you cut before him?

Forster would join those

valkorum · August 12, 2013, 05:03:59 PM

I would keep Forster. Only been on the list for 1 year and has been improving in the back half of the year.

Ricochet · August 12, 2013, 05:07:14 PM

Before Michie though? I'm not saying these guys can't play, just saying that Michie deserves a spot on the list before them

valkorum · August 12, 2013, 06:34:50 PM

Hard decisions need to be made and in this case I would keep Forster before Michie. At this stage Michie isnt able to consistently get on the park. That being said, he has heaps of ability.

Like Tim Ruffles, he had heaps of ability but his knees couldnt keep up

Nige · October 01, 2013, 09:44:06 AM

Viv reportedly wants to return home to Victoria, St Kilda a possible destination.

Ricochet · October 01, 2013, 09:46:27 AM

Wouldn't mind Ledger as his replacement. Both have bucket loads of potential but are yet to show it.

Swap Tom Lee for Viv Michie (if he really wants to go home)
