Ok im trying to get my head around his decision .
So after being good enough to make the Swans best 22 in last yrs GF. Xavier Richards knocks back a 2 yr deal from the Swans cos he wants to play in Melbourne.
Thats a bit risky but not dumbest thing in the world i guess. If you want out of Syd then its a risk you have to take. But it ended up being extremely risky didnt it cos nobody else picked him up.
BUT!!! and this is the part i dont understand. So what does he then do?? He signs up with Sydney University in the NEAFL

WTF!!!! Why not just stay with the Swans if your gonna stay in Sydney anyway
Very odd

Could be the reason no-one picked him up, something about avoiding people who could be described with a word rhyming with Thickheads.

Yeah i dont have a problem with that part at all.
He tried, it didnt work. Thats not a crime.
But his whole reason in the first place was he wanted to leave NSW.
The now staying in Syd to play at a lower level is the silly bit.

Thought he was a swan, realized he's a goose.

I played for Sydney Uni 30 years ago. I think poor decision making was our motto.
Richards will fit in well

You sure it was only 30 yrs ago.??

Xavier was a moron as an adolescent and from all accounts has only progressed further down the same line with age.
This public 'egg on the face' situation he has found himself in is of no surprise to me.

Wouldn't be surprised if his manager had a club lined up so he requested a trade but the club grabbed someone else instead.

amateurs.
