Matt's final foray is to be realised
Shepparton United's Matt Forys will spend possibly his last season of his football career travelling to play for hometown Moe next year.
Forys has departed United and will fulfil a promise made long ago to some close mates that he would finish his playing career at Moe.
Outgoing Moe president Lachlan Sim said he and Forys had only reached a verbal agreement at this stage.
``I've only had conversations with him over the phone but all indications are he's on board,'' Sim said.
``We won't catch up until he comes home to see his family for Christmas but I'm confident his word is binding. I've known `Fonzy' for a long time.''
The 31-year-old will still live and work in Shepparton and train with United during the week.
He will most likely drive more than three hours to Moe on Friday nights, play on Saturday's and drive back to Shepparton on Sunday.
Sim said if the travel becomes too much for Forys he will happily clear him back to play for United.
United president Jason Kelly said a number of clubs in the Goulburn Valley region made big offers for Forys recently.
``Matt said he never had any consideration to play anywhere but United in the GV and if he was to leave to play anywhere else it would be Moe,'' Kelly said.
``That's the only reason he's leaving. It's a matter of him wanting to go home and play what he thinks will be his last year of footy.
``He's been a fantastic player and servant of our club and we wish him well.''
Forys arrived at United with Traralgon brothers Steve and Brad Hazelman from AFL Canberra side Belconnen in August 2004.
He kicked 69 goals and won United's senior best and fairest in his first season in 2005.
One of the GVFL's premier forwards in recent times, Forys kicked 301 goals in four seasons at United.
Forys made his senior debut for Moe aged 16 and was named in its Team of the Century in 2003.
``We need a full-forward and someone that can kick goals so getting `Fonzy' is a bit of a coup for us,'' Sim said.
``We don't want him to kick 100 and feel that he's got a lot of pressure on him. We'll structure our forward line so he's a big part of it.''
Coached by former North Melbourne utility Troy Makepeace, Moe lost an elimination final to Maffra this season. Makepeace will coach again next year.

Quite right. I remember the day you tagged MaCaffer out of the game at Newhaven, i'm sure he still carries scars from that day.
