Would be one of the most maligned players to ever have played over 150 games, but I think this could be a good move. When he came to Freo he was a critical factor in getting the backline into the mindset ready to follow the game plan, which suggest leadership and communication skills. A bit of a master at getting the greatest impact out of the minimum skill base.

Go the ‘golden fist’. Look back on his goal from just on the 50m and smile..happy days.
Must have had one effective kick , He kicked a goal didn't he?
He’d only had 2 kicks when I posted it. Both ineffective. I believe he finished with 3 kicks.

I’ve heard of blokes getting legless at the trots but never shoeless. Maybe one led to the other.
Yeah, it’s tragic. I liked him when he was with us so have enjoyed watching him develop into a fine player. A great shame.
Yep. A proven vote getter in the annual midfielder award.

Rhysy. Never 1 to challenge yourself intellectually.
I wonder with these ex players. Do they still have money, did they buy a house why they were earning. Did they even go to school before footy ?

Have to see his face every day on the way to work. Just reminds of how he broke Barlow’s leg and ruined our season all those years ago.
Part of me also smirks though as every day I go past that sign is another day he’s failed to sell a house in Booragoon. I’m no real estate agent but if you can’t sell a house in Booragoon you’ve either got the price way too high or you’re shite at your job.
A few people I know used to know him. They all think he’s a dickhead.
Sounds like a good fit, real estate agents are the scum of the Earth.
Rhys' defence is hilarious (from Facebook I think):
Hi all, thought I would post this to provide some clarity as to the events that unfolded last night. Firstly, let me be clear, no shoe was deliberately thrown at a horse during any race, & I have the utmost respect for the racing community and all those involved. It was simply unfortunate timing. I was having a light hearted wrestle with a young teammate, oblivious to what was happening around us. What transpired was a shoe being thrown which unbeknown to us was unfortunately at the same time the horses had made their way around the course. Granted, it was stupid to start with but rightly or wrongly, I show care in ways others may not understand. I would like to sincerely apologise to the owners, trainers and especially the drivers involved as to the possible worst case scenario that could have eventuated. Security footage of the event will support what actually happened. Media being media, things can be misconstrued rather easily. I also wish to apologise to my football club & to anyone else that took offence to what happened, it was not my intention and was quite simply boys being boys. Thanks to all those that know my character and the support I have already received. Lastly, I will be making a donation to the ‘Off the Track’ foundation which undertake great work in the industry here in WA. Appreciate hearing me out
Clearly innocent... Last time I had a wrestle with someone a couple of shoes also went flying quite a few metres, with a delay between them and they also landed at exactly the same direction and distance each time. If there is one thing you aren't paying attention to at the races, it's when the horses are racing... nobody ever notices them. It's science people, people wrestle, shoes go flying, horses that nobody is watching get put in considerable danger. #barefootisthewaytogo

A donation and an apology is the Rhys’d he can do
