OK, everyone,time to put personal rivalries aside and show some compassion.
Your mission: go to the Port Adelaide site at www.portadelaidefc.com.au and send a get well message to Brendon Lade. The guy deserves a change of luck. He broke his leg in two places in Round 4 last year and was out for the season. He did all the rehab and hard work to get back and finally got a game this weekend against Geelong. And what happened? He collided with a Cat player during a marking contest, landed badly, and broke the SAME leg. You know he's got to be pretty devastated.
I don't care who ya barrack for, please go to the site and send the poor guy a message. I barrack for Carlton and sent one. My friend Pat, an Eagle fan, has also sent a message.
Let's all, as footy fans, give him a lift with a few words of encouragement.
Just think - what if it was Paul Kelly (to all you Swans fans), or Kouta (all you Carlton fans), or Hird (Essendon fans) I could go on, but you get the idea.
