Yarran may have another crack at AFL: Betts

"I've had some contact with him. He's back in WA living in Perth, so he's doing good," Adelaide star Betts told 5AA.

"I think he's going to play for a WAFL side over there, Swan Districts, where he played when he was younger.

"He (Yarran) actually said to me that if you look at what Nathan Krakouer did, he gave up footy, went back to WA, got his life back on track and gave it another crack and now he's back playing for Port Adelaide.

"I guess Chris can look at someone like that and hopefully get his life back on track and try again to play AFL footy."

This irks me bigtime. Good enough to play in the wafl and commit himself yet had everything on a platter for him for last 2 years to get better and recover by the club and walked away after what a couple of training sessions.Our club got there pants pulled down by him and his manager.

Time to move on, embarrassed again by an old rival
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Will we get any compo for him then?? If he plays again, surely the AFL would have to look at that.

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

This is called "buyer beware"

Well we paid him for a season and he didn't play, he then walked on his contract, did he pay the money back?? I doubt it, the AFL needs to consider these matters in it's entirety and not just as "buyer beware". If he plays at another club does that mean he just didnt want to be in Melbourne, more questions would need to be asked.

He walked out on his Contract?

He retired and didn't get his contract paid out. So why any need for compo

Was he under contract with us? Yes. So does that mean if he comes back to play he is still under contract? If he retired then that should be it.

They have effectively completed a seperation agreement.
Unless Richmond have put a no compete clause which would be unheard of in sport, he can come back when he likes.

Yes he was under contracted, when he retired the contract was cancelled and not paid out. as Y&B said they they agreed he'd walk from the contract with both parties no longer bound by it

If he choses to play footy in 2017 he is allowed to

I know that if I don't turn up to work I don't get paid.

Seems crazy we had to pay him.
