Too tormented to chat - Ollie's stuck in SA now.
It's a good point that's being made here though, Wingard's an example that many draftees don't really have the same opportunity to express. I'm not sure why this has become an issue lately - with us maybe Balic's situation has amplified it. Remember Viv Mitchie? It really is a chance thing, I would've thought most 18 year olds would be leaping at a chance to spend a couple of years somewhere else. No doubt the Vic metro guys are pretty connected with each other growing up and that does present homesickness beyond family.
