Simmonds to stay at dockers?

[Bulluss]

Ch 10 news mentioned something about Freo offering Simmonds a 4 year deal also and that he has agreed to stay.

Did anyone else hear this?

Not good for us. Means we'll have to chase after Jolly if Otto goes.

Cheers MY 

The Dockers fans are resigned to him going and for nothing in the PSD.

Still wait until we see him wearing yellow and black next to Wallace and Miller.

Apparently he is still coming.

I was just on my way out when i heard it on ch10 and posted. About 5 mins after i left Anthony Hudson reported on SEN that Freo had offered him a 4 year deal and he told them to jam it and he is heading to Punt Road.

I was very happy with that news.

Dockers concede on Simmonds

Fremantle follower/forward Troy Simmonds has rejected the club's offer of a four year deal and the club has effectively conceded that he's a lost cause.

Simmonds advised the club last Saturday through his manager Ron Joseph that he wished to leave Fremantle and resume his AFL career in Melbourne.

Club officials met with Joseph in Melbourne on Tuesday evening to offer a new four-year contract, but Joseph advised the club on Wednesday that the new contract offer had been rejected.

"Fremantle Football Club made its best possible offer to Troy and we are most disappointed to be losing him in this fashion," said Chief Executive Officer Cameron Schwab.

Simmonds, a club deputy vice captain and 100 AFL game player, had been a key component in Fremantle’s rebuilding over the last three seasons.

As an out-of-contract player, Richmond has the option to select Troy in the pre-season draft where it has the first selection.
