Certainly something that would be discussed I'd imagine. Huge flight risk issues. Can very easily see a situation wher Tom gets recruited to a Melbourne club, and two years from now Jarrod says "I love the club and will be forever grateful to the Lions, but it's strain on family, and we're really close with struggles we've endured together, and I think I have to move back to Vic."Knowing where Horsham is, he does a helluva job getting to the games like he does...I agree with your above idea too. In fact they should move Dad up there.
In our eyes, this threat would likely propel TJ up the board a limited amount.
