Pleasing to see someone accept honest feedback without bitterness.

Signs of a mature man who is accountable for himself and takes responsibility. Kinda guy you'd like mentoring the younger lads....

Dkhd's didn't get the headline or the snipe they were after. Well spoken Tom

Seriously What a bunch of clowns, trying to create unnecessary headlines about Fly.

Classy response from Titch, didn’t fall for their bait.

Does someone pick him up?

Does someone pick him up?

I doubt it. Doesn't have the power through his legs any more. This year, even at VFL, he struggled to get the ball away and went to ground way too much.

Maybe a WCE. Young list which needs teaching and good example. He will provide that to youngsters and show them what work needs to be done to make it. He could play a role if he regains a bit more in 2026. He was elite. WA grounds maybe don't suit.

He would be picked based on what he could offer off the ground as much as anything so a club where that was needed may look at him.

Probably cheaper to pick him up as a development coach and sign him to their reserves team as well.

Yeah, that would work. Depends i guess if a young list short on depth sees him as value where a number of kids may tire.

I think the opposite. A team like WCE would be a long way below salary cap, but would still want to maximise their footy department spend on s&c and coaching. So you'd probably be better off having his wage go into the salary cap than the soft cap. It's what Port did when they first hired Goldsack - drafted him as a player to use him as a coach.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He’s better off moving on to the next stage of life. Probably still in football but his days as a player are past him.
