Can't blame him given the added surety.Quote:

Not sure that's the greatest career move. Why are we losing guys?
Edit : Just read he was offered a third rookie deal can't blame him at all.
Move to a club with no players, where you will get to play your preferred position in the seniors, from a club with so many half-back flankers you have to play on the wing/HFF? I think it's a decent career move.Quote:

He will make it as well given time. His younger brother at Freo is a gun.Quote:

Hope he goes OK at Norf.
Young will get oodles of action and possessions in the North backline next year, along with their other defenders.Quote:

Well officially this is the only one so far and I believe you have to drop 2 off the list and replace 4.Quote:

Part of the article is that we’re claiming we offered a primary list contract and will seek a trade.
Either way, he’s gone. Tis a shame
Good on him, hopefully we can get something usable as a trade. There's a logjam of folks playing in defence where he's best suited so probably the right call for everyone.
Everyone wins but us. North get a young talented guy that has had two years in the AFL system already and is ready to go, Lachie gets to join a club with mountains of opportunity available and a salary cap that has to be spent on whoever puts their hand up in the next 12 months and we lose a promising youngster for nothing.
