Bummed about this but good on him.

AFC need someone like him after their camp debacle.

Why didn’t we do this at our club?

[torch]

I thought he was going to be apart of our recruiting team?

I thought he was going to be apart of our recruiting team?

He did some work during the season with our recruiting team, to learn about it, how it works etc

But it was never a lock he was going to be part of out recruiting team.

He's from South Aust as is his partner, comes from a very close family (met his parents numerous times) so absolutely no surprise to me he is going home.

The anti-dud. An absolute champion.
What an incredible career Shedda.
Going to miss him this year.

[camboon]

And to think some thought he was a dud in the early days until they work out what happened when he passes the ball to a forward

[Andyy]

He was underwhelming for a long time but then so was our whole club. Really came good around the dynasty period.
