He's been transitioning to a non 'field-based' role for years now.

Sydney just firmed as premiership favourites.
s**t.
He will be a running joke, but people forget that in 2015, for the first half of the season he was one of the best ruck/forwards in the entire league. He was unfortunately the type of player who struggled to play through injury so when he was a bit injured his performance dropped.

It's a farce that the Swans are now forced to play with one less on the list for all of 2018. The AFL should allow them to sign a state-league player.
News to me. Money well spent then.

Is it just me or has there been an influx of players retiring in the pre season leaving their clubs short lately. No longer do you play in the reserves to help
This should end well....
Unlucky run with injuries, played with a busted jaw the following week. People will take pot shots, some deserved, some not. What could have been if his 2015 form held and no injuries.

Strange timing indeed.
Wonder if he copped another injury or something to warrant the decision.

I am so happy right now.
That's hilarious. Where do you come up with such witticisms?

Look at Rounds 15 to the end of the season, pretty damned good stats for a ruck/forward

In fact for all of 2015 he was consistently kicking goals while also playing in the ruck.

Yep same as Vickery for us.
It appears this pre season has seen the death of a few ruck/forwards.
Also it was 2016 when he was in AA form as a ruckman before getting injured (not 2015 like I thought)

Look at rounds 1 to 11.

Yup.
We have the same issue with Griffiths. The bigger issue however is that with limited playing lists, this leaves clubs short.

Was there a pre season injury involved in the decision?
