Do WA boys always tend to be the ones that want to go back home? Or is it just me?

Seems to happen far less for SAs and QLDers

I would certainly put Vic Metro boys then WA.

Funny enough the more I thought about your comment regarding SA and QLD boys, the more that you are right in terms we barely have go home factor with those states.

When was the last time we lost a SA lad to home sickness? Scott Thompson??

Yea , Tomo bout the only significant one I can remember. That one hurt too. Was always going to have a very good career.

We haven't had any good South Aussies really have we?

Not off the top of my head, but ANB and Sparrow had the option this year and stayed despite being promised nothing in terms of playing time.

I thought no one wanted them haha.

It's true about the dubbya guys, bunch of soft utensils.

Jack Trengove another.

Yeah and cooked after a couple years.
We haven't had a good South Aussie since Thompson.

They are some really weird kids. Almost like they are from another country.

Bernie Vince.

 

[Topkent]

Bernie Vince.

Can't be home sick when you've already gone through all of the local talent lol

Jack Viney played his junior footy in South Australia.

Craig Turley did for us in the 90s after one year. Another Western Australian weirdo.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Toump went home

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Toump went home

Went home on the airplane we booked for him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Mark Jamar was South Australian wasn't he? And an All Australian? He would be our last SA star, not Tomo.

Yes to both after checking google. I'm pretty good.

 

[Topkent]

Toump went home

Didn't we just leave him at the airport home alone style

 

[Tulip]

Would break my heart if he left

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

You'll survive. Don't be a WA weirdo.

 

[Tulip]

He's so ******* good

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

We'd be looking at two first minimum for a return I'd think, would prefer to trade him to Freo in the hopes of his career going unfulfilled.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

He's so ******* good

He's very promising, wouldnt be ideal but I'm no going to cry for anyone who wants out. * em.

 

[schmuttt]

Agree. I got over the idea of good players leaving long ago. If they want out ship them out ASAP (Although I seriously doubt Jackson leaves anytime soon).

Yep, all you're doing by holding them to a contract is potentially losing trade value re : injury and drop off in form cause their heart ain't in it.

It's good business practice also in regards to player managers and being in their good books for future deals

 

[ImissFrosty]

Why are we even talking about Jacko leaving? It's blasphemous.
