I thought he played some good football this year. And would have been happy for him to stay at punt road. Having said that I recall he was on a very low contact. I imagine a bit more than a rookie. Which the club needed to be able to pay for Dusty & Tom...Other clubs were going to start sniffing out our fringe players once we won the flag. You lose the good with the bad. We obviously didn’t match Freo’s offer. I’m happy that him, Lloyd and Cellis and Miles are extending their careers at other clubs. Look at Matt Dea, getting games at EFC and winning awards!
He's probably earning an extra 100k at Fremantle, and a ticket to the grand final is about $300. That's a $99,700 decision.Strange decision to leave a chance at a premiership to join a rabble especially after we had stuck with him for years through multiple injuries. Maybe Richmond offered him a low $ contract and the fact that he was injury prone (and a bit of a whipping boy) tempted him to take the security of a three year deal on more $$. He is a freo player now so I don't wish him the best, but thanks for the 104 games at Tigerland. I also look forward to the next Richmond v Freo game and seeing something we haven't seen much of before - Conca hitting Tiger players on the tit with his kicks.
I think this year he was a good one for him. He was doing volunteer work too. Visiting sick kids. And won our community service award.
and only plays 99 games for Freo!!!
If we wanted him bad enough we would have offered him the extra year
Is this confirmed, as all the updated draft orders up on the AFL site, don't include this pick?
