It is all in his hands. He knows what he wants, he knows what he has to do.
Good luck to the lad. He is a talent and it is all there for him.

Elijah Taylor you are referring to Smokey?

I think Smokey is mixing up his biblical references! But I'd like to know what is going on, last report was that Taylor has gone, now he's back and looking good. Guess we'll find out when pre-season matches start.

I don’t think anyone has said he has gone. The conversation started with some comment by JohnTownsend which Russell Clark corrected when he said “it is in his hands” which led to comments that were misinterpreted.
My understanding of the position is that Elijah returned to the club and started training with a view to playing for Perth in 2021. He was told that he was welcome by the club including the players and that it was in his hands. He has been training and is fit.
He is serious. He knows what he wants, he knows what he has to do. It is totally up to him.
You can interprete that anyway you all wish. Will he make it. Who knows?
Ted no confusion on my part. I am pretty well up to date with my biblical references.
I believe that the prophet Elijah was pretty good in doing miracles... Hmm, I just wonder. We could do with a miracle or two at Lathlain.
Isaiah was a pretty good prophet as well.

Smokey if your informant on matters relating to training is who I think it might be then I would be pretty confident that he is training.
If that changes then so be it.
But we are giving him and ourselves a chance.
And as you have eluded to before we have the people that may be able to guide him.

Well Smokey, it’s either your informant or Russell Clarke, the club CEO. There is something strange going on if your informant is right and the CEO is wrong.
Not sure the club needs to be distracted by this bloke’s issues anyway.

So who do you think is right?
What do you believe is the real story?
There has been nothing on this topic that suggests there is something strange going on.
If you go back through all the comments there are a lot cryptic ones but not much in the way of substantive posts. I am not saying the CEO is wrong. It seems to me that there is a lot of misinterpretation going on. All I have seen is he is quoted as saying "it is in his hands". If anyone can expand on that authoritively we are yet to hear of it.
I agree that the club does not need distractions by this or any other issues and neither does the player, especially the player..

Yeah Russell Clarke virtually said that earlier in the week on 91.3

Geezus we can't take a trick can we? And looks like Russell let JT know about it in The West.

Do you have the link to this article Smokey?

Thanks Mr AFL. No I do not. Does it say exactly what was said?
I am solely relying on my source - do I need to find another?

No, I just wanted to read the article that JT wrote and RC commented on.

Found the article.
