Good player, still go a bit of a ways to go in some areas.

No issue with him leaving. Was an early pick who showed potential. Richmond don't deserve recognition for not delisting him when he was crook.
I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......

Yes we do. He’s a stuffing twirp
"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”

He wanted out because he couldn't understand why he didn't get a gig in the 2020 GF - that's what he said after he got his trade wish. "Entitled" is really good word

Also as he tells it he always wanted to play for Saints

End of the day he wanted out, didn't want to be part of our Club, he got we wanted.


There was another rumour as to why

And the rumour doesn't get posted or discussed on the forum

No we don't. He played for us, played decent footy. He left, we got compensated.

"Sticking with him through his brain injury". What were they gonna do, fire him immediately?  :lol

Club did alot more for him with his brain illness/injury than just keeping him on the list, a helluva lot more

They looked after him, supported not only him but his family.

I like him because of how well he treated my daughter. Went above and beyond.

Thanks Jack for being a bloody good bloke to us and what you did.

I appreciate what the bloke did for your daughter Damo, wish more players did it. Great effort by young Jack

But He lost me when he sooked it up about not playing seniors for most of 2020 when in his world he (and his family for that matter) believed he should have, especially the GF. As I said the Club did alot for him and his family after his 2 brain surgeries and he's never really acknowledged that, seemed it got forgotten by young Jack. Throw in his comments after he got traded and I lost respect and I wasn't sorry to see him go

Similar to the respect I lost for the gang of 4 who walked out on our Club at the end of 2023
