Retired #8: Jason Winderlich

[pepsi]

Winder is a massive supporter of Hird, is he not? Maybe he does not want to stay at the club if Hird does not remain as coach. We've been reamed as a club so much the last 2 years, why not add another with Winder leaving.

It would be really s**t if he plays for someone else next year.

 

[Big Fresh]

I can't see him leaving. Going ahead with his retirement, sure, but not playing for another club.

 

[Kakkle]

Haha, jesus. What garbage.

 

[Childish Gambino]

Lol, this is the exact same initial reaction we had to Ryder leaving...

 

[Ben the Gooner]

You know what, I hope he goes if Hird does. And I hope he ******* dominates next year. And I hope he tells everyone exactly why he's going.

* this.

 

[2one2]

Is this real life?

 

[rines]

Winderlich will not play on. Was playing on because of Hird.

Fletcher in the same boat.

Lets all take a deep breath.

 

[FedEXFalls]

His manager won't rule out another club but says he's still talking about whether he's going to come out of retirement and if he does to then talk to Essendon about a contract.

Hasn't spoken to any other club as of yet.

Don't see the point of moving clubs for a 1 year contract if he decides to play on.

Winderlich wants out. Wants fresh start, new club, demoralised by drugs saga. I believe he is not facing show-cause notice @traderadio @AFL

Emma Quayle: Winders wants out. To go play with Richmond. Didn't receive a show cause notice. Wants to finish his career at a less uncertain environment.

Why would he bother going to Richmond? He's probably got one year left, he's not going to win a premiership there, and he'd hurt his legacy. Seems totally pointless.

... To make a point?!

That makes it serious.

 

[westking]

Maybe this is a story from a few days back just seeing the light of day now.

 

[Zach Package]

There goes my 'retire with dignity' idea

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That's crap is true.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

That's possible, but what point exactly?

If a very much loved player is moving to another club at the absolute tail end of his career, what do you think that tells you about said club?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Why Richmond out of all clubs?

 

[Sealz]

* me, this would hurt more than Ryder if true.

Not on the field, but as far as the overall fabric of the club is concerned.

The inability of the board to make a strong decision either way is killing the club.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Why Richmond out of all clubs?

Might like the culture/club
Might have mates
Might be closest to home

I agree.. they need to make a strong decision.. whether it be Hird OR a Fresh Start.. and then commit 100% to it..

Indecision and 'unknown' is killing us.. absolutely killing us..
