I don't think it would be awkward. He probably can see it from the clubs point of view and its not like he has anything to be ashamed of.
I think he would prefer to play at a side not connected to an AFL club where you don't have blokes out there trying to impress to break into the seniors...
Yeah I think there is a ceiling too and its a case of waiting for a guy who is simply reliable in a role each week. There is nothing that screams champion about him.
Wouldnt hold my breath on him being a Stengle and Chol is having a good year but would need to follow it up for me to feel we...
Should be a gravy train on Sunday so someone will kick 5. If he doesnt play well against them then it will be a concern.
Should see Castagna and Aarts tear it up.
Tigers are coming to my side of town this Sunday and will give up watching Brissy-Carlton to walk down there and hopefully see Stack and co put on some good football. Beating Preston by a big margin will be pretty easy as they are the North Melbourne of the VFL. Hmm maybe that isnt a good thing...
We have to see ourselves as a completely different team to the teams that won premierships now he is no longer part of the picture.
He was huge for us and we are lucky we were built up to the disappointment that goes with him no longer being a player at the Tigers.
Recruiters find us another...
I dont want to knock Edwards because he has been fantastic.
But if Dimma believes that we can both make finals AND get him to 300 then that arrogance will have us missing out.
It does make me admire guys who call it a day when the time is right and not be seduced by milestones.
Wayne Campbell...
The worse thing about his being a sub is that you feel reamed when he comes on.
Lose Lambert in exchange for Aarts. Hurts when you look at it like that.
Im the same way in regards to both him and Castagna.
I see two guys who have achieved what I havent myself but it stands out like dog balls that they are not an answer at senior level in any way.
They are not going to suddenly start kicking goals and both need to play VFL to find form. There...
Reports were that Aarts was pretty average for us in the VFL.
For his own good he has to find form in the VFL. His confidence is going to be shot playing seniors game after game and no point being a medical sub when you are on for the last five minutes..
Does that mean he can line up for VFL...
Great point. It would be back to the early Richmond use of draft pick days if we weren't using them to get guys who wont be better than Parker in the next couple of years.
You would think that a player would have some loyalty after causing our soft cap to be hit.
I hope we play hard ball on this one and get something pretty decent.
Usually a player delivers some type of football that impacts a result before leaving the club.
He has only had one game of note...
Good on your Chol
Didnt see him as part of our future but glad he is able to continue at the top level. Hope he does well up there.
Gold Coast are no threat to us. Except when we play them of course.
Never looked like it would go another year when you cant push George and Aarts out of the team.
Two underperforming forwards was the perfect opportunity if he had something.
Good luck to him. You never know how the players are when they get told and know they are unlikely to be picked up by...
We know Hardwick knows football.
I would love to hear what his rationale would be for keeping him.
Must be some reason that we all dont see as someone with Hardwicks experience would understand how ineffective he has been and the cost to the team more than us.
Must be that he is prepared to...
Unfortunately it is Effective immediately. Always a shame when you dont know that you are seeing a player for the last game. Must be harder for the player to have it called by injury at a random point in a game.
He will be a Tiger immortal. I wasnt that excited when we got him from Essendon but...
Im still convinced that Raphsmith in for one of those guys last week would have given us the win in a game where we fell a goal short.
Why was Dimma still hoping that last weeks game they would turn it around.
Why are people suggesting looking at a trade unless his manager demands potential money like DeGoey gets.
2 games in and he has showed something. Covered for Lynch last week and this week too. That his rucking improved as the game went on will most likely translate into next game against Weagles.
Bit rough to be let go from Essendon after ONE year which was hub life
New to a club must make hub life a little harder. Would like a club to pick him up as he plays with heart but it is unlikely I guess.
Cheers for that mate. Was there a change in earlier decision that I didnt hear?.
They did at one stage say we were losing it didnt they? Not the VFL but our standalone team.
Herald Sun and Age demanding paid subscription is killing me. Glad to hear that is now the case though.
This is why I am so pissed that we are losing our VFL team even though Im sure Richmond can dictate positions for our players in whatever merged team we do have next year,
I dont regret Butler although I would rather him in the side than George to be honest.
However there is something about this bloke where getting rid of him could really bite us on the arse in future years.
How the club would be prepared to see a drop in his value due to not being able to push...
The Bombers need to go more for a Heath Shaw who is now available after Giants have let him go.
A hothead like Shaw so as to replace Goddard in regards to the getting into teammates faces on the field.
I was thinking that yesterday when he looked to be enjoying the after celebration as much as anyone. Had the 'Money can't buy this' look on his face.
He must have heard Lynch telling the boys what its like experiencing the difference between the two clubs and know that he is in for a reverse...
Im with you on that one. No reason to pot a player who has been a regular in our successful teams of the last 3 years.
We wont miss him so not sure why anyone would be upset that he is going.
(thats not a pot just a reality that we have blokes pushing for selection who have more talent that...
