That bit we know, it was his return post that I was interested in. Was it simply Murphy taking his spot or a Club call outside of that. Looking for anyone that actually had factual or close enough to the Club to have fresh intel.

Just supposition, but I noted that he came back to training in November 2021 briefly before retiring.
Maybe he didn't impress Fly or Fly didn't impress him, after he won the All Ireland Final he'd scratched that itch and wanted to come back, I wouldn't be surprised if we thought that bridge was burned. As Wright said, he'd struggled with home sickness the whole time he was here, he's walked out on us twice, who's to say he won't do it a third time?
I note we didn't take a pick in the pre season SSP that year, also that Murphy hadn't at that time nailed his spot but we had recruited Dean who we had high hopes for before he spent 2 years injured.
I think we just decided it was high risk, low reward to draft him agin, let him go somewhere else.

^ The Bulldogs have shown some interest in him. He currently plays for their VFL side.
Arlo Draper is another name that's been mentioned as a possible mid-season draft recruit.

Interesting game Pies and Footscray are playing with each other, with blokes not in their best 22, or rotting away in VFL, or cast off?
We poach Lipinski, they take Poulter, we take Sullivan....
And now Bianco is a Brownlow Medalist in the making....

Reminds me of the Richmond/Collingwood wankfest when we poached Cloke, Raines and they poached Phil Walsh and Jon Annear! Total joke.

^ No it was before that when Travis Cloke went to the Dogs and we got Jordan Roughead two years after.

Ok, it all started with Brad Hardie.

Going the other way, they stole our dual-premiership ruckman and premiership captain, Con McCarthy - who also captained Victoria in the 1921 Perth Carnival, before the 1922 season. At the time, Foostcray was (where they belong) still in the VFA.
When the VFL made the mistake of admitting Footscray, Con was their inaugural captain and coach. It's all a long time ago - but it makes salary-dumping Treloar and getting Lipinski as an upgrade look trivial in comparison. |
