Wouldnt be the first time surely. Can anyone advise of other instances of quality players moving from one d4 club to another?

I wouldn't call him a quality player but Dave Daparin moved from Syndal to St Francis Xavier for the 2008 season. I can't think of any others moves off the top of my head.

RC just signed a guy who played for Albert Park 2 years ago, and we have had players come from St Marys, UHS, Swinburne and other D3/D4 clubs in the past. It's not uncommon...Most of the time its just because of a change of address. However, for a team's best player to move intra-division is a hard pill to swallow for a committee.

Yep, I would not call him quality either. Im not even sure how he even gets a game???? Its beyond me, But knowing him well, he does live in the area, so SFX was easier and its a great club, with great people and structures. And he was not staying just for one season, there for the long term.

You're tall Dave, that's how you get a game.

Not a dog act at all, it was discussed with the Chaddy coach months ago (who coincidentally used to play at Kew) and he understood the circumstances, perhaps if you dont know the full story you shouldn't judge. Parts of the reason are on this forum a few pages ago, other parts which should be kept within the club are not.

I wouldnt of thought it was a dog act...as already mentioned players leave clubs at any level for their own reasons. Whether it is because they are unhappy, moving to play with mates, or want to play somewhere closer to home, they all have a reason. Knowing Phipps throughout the past year at Syndal, it was clear that he was there to play with a mate and enjoyed playing under Manny and as those reasons have left the club, so if Phipps is unhappy then so be it. As I understand at least Phipps was man enough to have a civil discussion with the new coaches at Syndal off his own back rather then just walking out on the club. If the issue is that he has moved to a club in the same division, people do that all the time. Clearly he has the talent and ability to play at a higher level but chooses to play where coin is not an issue because he purely enjoys his footy. If Kew are the team that he decides will foster his enjoyment, then I dont see it as a dog act.

Its D4 footy, a bit of fun, not the be all and end all....
