The entire Richmond Football Club extends its very best wishes to Tommy for a speedy recovery.

We encourage people to send their well wishes to Tommy’s website, www.tomhafey.com.au , or email him at tom@tomhafey.com.au.

Probably cut it out with a pocket knife himself and slapped a bandaid over the wound.  Hang in there Tommy!

I too have met Tommy a few times through my wife. And every time she says "How are you Tommy" and he replies the same every time, "good love, but only getting better"
Get well Tommy.
