Shame to see Thursty go.
The talk on him not having enough build is irrelevant. He's done jobs before he thrashed Riewoldt in one of his first few games being light as a feather.
Dustin Fletcher isn't heavily built.
Storm in a tea cup this, a guy wants a change of scenery. No-one has wanted out of Richmond for 9 years, not a heap of competition at the club for a long time. All of a sudden it's very competitive and it's a good thing. Players will leave to find a home that's easier to get Senior games. For mine it's a good thing, if you want to play at Richmond you'll need to work extra hard. Hasn't been that way for a long time.
no-one has wanted out of Richmond for 9 years. thats what you think 
Who has quit the club since Ottens 01?
Its been the easiest club to get a game at for the past 25 years. Good pay check with not a heap of work compared to other clubs. Now it is, Thursty is a good player and might be worried about not being able to play a game next year with Gourdis and Astbury. Along with Moore and McGuane. He's most likely want a new scenery with an easier environment with less work and less competition.
If he wants out cause he's upset over his mentour being pushed out by a regime 5 years ago and who is no longer there, and in the most potentially exciting time at the club than he is a idiot.
He wants a different environment with less competition, he's made that decision over working harder at RFC.
It's sad cause Thursty is a super bloke.
