Agree Magnifisaint. I don't believe he'll play again, certainly not for St Kilda. Unfortunately we gave him a generous contract extension meaning a lot of this is posturing to realise the fruits of that contract.

Besides the contract extension, the club is doing the right thing by Paddy. I cannot see another club picking him up and I cannot see St Kilda risking him.

Wouldn’t you think that as soon as Paddy was drafted that the club would have done everything to have the worlds best practice in place...there’s plenty of successful type 1 diabetics who’ve played sport at an elite level including contact sports.

Is it possible they haven’t?

Well they drafted Jamie Cripps & didn't even know he was a diabetic at the time :?

For once Ted, I agree with you 100 percent. However, it will probably be the first and only time. :D
