The thing I got out of that interview on Fox was yes he and his family had had a completely poo time over the past 12 months or so with the deaths in the family but for me it didn’t excuse the fact that he left us (which I am totally ok with) but to say he couldn’t watch the GF and be happy for his mates who he had spent 10 years with disgusted me. They teach you to be selfless at AFL clubs and to me Lids hadn’t learnt a thing. And I reckon he played like that too.
As much as he wasn’t a Tiger anymore he should have swallowed his self pity and been happy and proud of his mates.
Just my take.
