He's also from Launceston not Hobart and all Tasmanians know people in Launnie hate Hobart and vice versa....Just on the McKercher (my preference at 2) to Tassie thing, he will be what? 23 or 24 when the new Tassie team comes into the comp?
Even throwing a heap of coin at him to come home and aside form the obvious benefits of lovely weather and PErth beach bunnies over the antarctic Hobart. From a footy perspective he will really have to consider if he is content to spend the rest of his footy career in a new team with a very low prospect of playing finals for a few years and realistically not getting a look at a flag (based on the most recent expansion teams) or stay with West Coast who by then would be looking at the start of a flag window which history shows we will usually grab one.
Life style and career success/satisfaction will trump money for most people. I'd back us in to retain him.
