Hmm likely came to a head tho when negotiations came to a fine point , Brennan and Hosko are leaders and and use social media to signal support when they choose , in this case N O T H I N G , that says plenty to me
Sometimes players work with a club that way in other cases perhaps when disenchanted they don’t . I’m surmising the alternate option was national draft
Sheerin's only just 32, only 3 years in, still new to the code, and an absolute fitness fanatic/freak. Hardest worker since Bruce Springsteen.
Like you I am only guessing but I don’t know what we expect. Should Brennan and Hosko come out publicly in support of a player they probably desperately wanted to stay ? They are also in the twilight of their footy careers and would realise that Sheerins decision to go has almost certainly scuttled any chances of finals success in the near future.
Hoskings is finished. She was horrible this year. If she was a real leader she would have retired. Brennan also had a very average year. Gave away way too many free kicks through undisciplined play.
I agree Hosko is finished was never that good in first place
Not if they were on good terms I reckon they’d acknowledge the TY post from the club , the ceo didn’t either
Doubt 5 years but easily 3
There is always going to be that draw for some to move to the club they grew up loving. Alyssa Pisano went to Dee's at pick 5 in 23', and is a massive Tigers fan. Dees would want a first round pick in return, but wouldn't surprise, if knowing there's a chance Yassi will request a trade in 12 months, that we go down the path to get Pisano to the Tigers.
Fair enough, I just like a few more actual facts before jumping to conclusions. A poster on PRE who seems to have some good inside knowledge of the AFLW program reenforced Sheerins connection with the North Head of footy and said she informed the club some months ago that she wanted to leave. Another poster said she had no issues with the Richmond hierarchy. So weighing all that up I think Sheerin has wanted to go to North for a while now and has jumped ship the first chance she got. She has been terrific for the Tigers and I wish her well but others may see it differently.
Reid was always high risk. Played forward in a dominate team and most of her goals were opportunistic snaps. Never any standout qualities. It was a thin draft that year but we still butchered it.
Will be gone before our 1st pick
Everything you say is true but they are also human beings and if the club you barracked for is chasing you hard and you are out of contract, I think anyone would be tempted.
It becomes a factor coz wages are fairly flat across the comp , pretty rare in men’s for that to be a driving force
Hindsight being key here.
I thought as much…to a WA club
The second part is acceptable (just)….but still ….there are players loyal to the club ( Dusty, Jack, Cotch and others) and those that choose otherwise….
