You always get a kick out of hearing how passionate Tommy is about footy. He's right about a number of AFL players lacking footy smarts handballing to teammates who are hot.
Geez we were tightbehinds back then lol. Win a flag(s) and not one single bonus. All Tommy got once was 2 suits from a well known supporter at the time. GR and Tommy didn't talk money until Tommy had accepted and moved down from Shepparton and when they finally did it went like ...
GR: "So Tommy how much did you get paid at Shepparton?"
TH: "800"
GR: "Okay you'll get the same here" lol
Also surprising to hear how much of a fan of Mark 'Jacko' Jackson he was. Loves tea-totalers does Tommy. He wanted to get 'Jacko' up to Sydney when Capper left but the League blocked it.
