At least you know he wrote it himself and it didn't come from his manager. Actually a genuine.message of thanks.

And haven't the West Coast flogs thrown it back in his face. As if any of them wouldn't change employers if they were being offered an extra year at a $500k+ salary.

Hopefully he can prove he is not just here for a final payday like it sounded in his interview.
Given the unconditional support provided by WCE to Rioli during his troubled 2.5 year period in which he didn't play a single game for the club, it's not surprising that WCE supporters feel somewhat aggrieved. The second sentence of your post doesn't appreciate that context.
At the end of the day money talks and he needs to do what is best for him and his family. I don't begrudge him that. He remains one of my favourite players to watch and I wish him all the best; I'll be watching him every chance i get.
I maintain downsborough was the most disappointing player to ever don a port AFL Guernsey.

Agree in part with your comment re Downsborough, who was built like Tarzan but played like Jane's grandma, but a bloke named Lonie also has to be in any conversation about the most disappointing player to ever don a Port AFL guernsey.

I have to admit I wasn't a fan of Junior joining us, but I was very happy with the interview that's now on the club website.
Just hope he can have an impact up forward and that his mum's treatment goes well.
As someone with a daughter working interstate, I would do anything to get her living closer to home again, so I get it.

An interesting comment from the interview posted on the Port website today was that his Mum is very sick and receives her treatment in Adelaide. No idea about any of the context around that but certainly indicates there could be a little bit more to it than just money.
Speaks well and is so likeable! Will be a massive fan favourite:

That is a strange picture of Junior and Slyce celebrating a goal

Sounds as if he might get on just fine with Hinkley then.

I really hope this guy can get himself fit and firing now that he is in an environment that suits his family life more. He has a lot of tricks and I hope we get to see the best of him.

Good interview. Comes across as shy but very genuine. I reckon he might have got read the riot act about his past indiscretions too. Made some points about learning from past mistakes and wanting to be a better person as well as a good footballer. Good signs. Looking forward to watching him play.

Happy to have him.
Small forwards, unless they are absolute geniuses, rely on the team being good. I'm confident he's good enough if we're good enough to give him opportunities.
