I think you may have misunderstood what Roo said 'On the Couch' nutty. My take is that he was talking about Jackson Trengove being homesick, and very keen to return home to Victoria at the end of the season.

Thanks for that - I was only half listening - hence my last part of the post - "did I imagine that !"

The main reason Thompson left was because of Daniher. He hated his guts. You're welcome to disbelieve me, but many people within the club know this to be true.

Funny thread, btw. All started over a poster misconstruing Jackson Trengove from Port Adelaide for Jack Trengove.

Why did he hate Daniher?

Why did he hate Daniher?

My question too.

I've heard this a few times before, but never any justification for why he would hate Daniher.

I had heard some of it stemmed from the Preachers's penchant for 'his little click " of players. Somne others found it like a brick wall to penetrate and became somewhat disenchanted that hard training and consistent efforts in the magoos werent properly rewarded.and conversely poor performances in the firsts often went unpunished for some . But that can often happen so maybe there was more to it.

Why did he hate Daniher?

Huh? That side was going nowhere but up & down on the one spot for a number of years and the supporters aren't the only ones being played into losing their time & effort.

Do you remember the list that was left to us to rebuild from?

What do you think an aspiring young player would feel that could actually see how good or bad that list was, and wasn't being improved nor developed properly. Many players wasted their time and careers on false hope.

And others feathered their nest.

Thompson was so good for us in 2004 until he got injured, you could just tell he was going to be a gun from then on. We got a reasonable deal, but Moloney just isn't quiet as good. I know he hasn't kept the cleanest record off the field but I feel he'd be our captain at the moment.
