Sauce is doing the schmoozing. Despite popular belief, we've not had burnable $ for quite a few years. It wasn't that long ago that our funding partners (westpac) pulled the pin and we had to seek a new banker. We didn't want the AFL involving themselves into our side hustles so went with banker finance and yet we've given away the baseball 'enterprise' and wound down the e-sports 'division'. We've not had blowable coin for ages. We can't gift Talia a schmoozing job. We already blew a year an extra gold watch gift to Thommo. Only so many to go around.
"despite interest from interstate". Sure, I believe that Richmond were interested until I failed to load for a fitness test.
Would have interrupted his training program that was required to maximise his earning potential at his next club. But, he woukd still catch up with the senior guys for a bevvy over the coming days.

Yeah that sounds pretty s**t from Talia, but either way he was a champion player for us in my eyes and wish him all the best post football. Thank you Daniel Talia.
Sad way for him to finish his career. We've been blessed with two great backmen--Rutten and Talia. Young Butts looks like continuing the tradition.

Why ??
Disrespected the decision made by the club. Subsequent events prove the decision right, but he placed himself ahead of the club and thought it reasonable to go public with his flawed view. It's difficult for you because you back both the senior player and the club even if they're at loggerheads. Difficult for you, easy fir those who firm their own opinions as information presents.
Pull your head in. Talia has been a champion for the club for the last decade and one of the best defenders of his generation. We should appreciate having had a player of his talent and work ethic at the club for such a long time. He’s always been one to speak his mind. It’s an admirable trait and we all applauded it when he did so at the 2014 best and fairest. Not attending the best and fairest while searching for new club opportunities and a few honest comments re culture do not affect his standing or legacy at the club

He did say goodbye
He spoke on the open Mike prior to the North Melbourne game at the Adelaide Oval.
Hopefully he is included in the Eddie Betts tribute, or at least put on the back of a car and taken around the ground to say goodbye.

Poor bugger. Must be tough for him to accept that the mind is still willing but the body not able.
Hope he finds his way back to club and is involved in some way.

That’ll go on well into his sixties

Oh oh!
Sounds like we're making a position for our most celebrated training club champion.
"All hail the return of King David"
He was a part of our culture problems
Agree with this - even more so in light of this news; how the hell did all parties not know that he was no good to go again?
Seems like we could've saved us all some angst if we'd known.
this is beyond doubt.

Not one player is bigger than the football club, i feel the crows are getting this right now with the clean out. Really very excited to see this young group develop together next year and beyond, we've got some real talent in our team now.

God you post some rubbish.
Feels weird that Talia has gone out like this, played his last game at 28 years old. Unfortunate end to a great career

The leader of the bunch.
I think our toxic culture from 2017-19 broke pretty much everyone in the end. Even guys like Betts and Greenwood were jaded and bitter by the time they left.
Nicks has done a decent job to get buy in from the players.
Didn't mentor kids
Was part of the culture of playing with injury no matter how badly you underperformed
Had a dummy spit and refused to attend the b&f to support teammates he had played beside for years
Actions speak louder than words

Did mentor kids actually.
Gave his all for the club, one of its smartest and most reliable players in history
