That is true i see. Still, he may like having someone of the same last name in the team!

If you want two people with the same surname in the team, why Redden?

Personally I would be happy to see a second Hogan (or two Dangerfields)!

I know those are the reports and that he might have nominated West Coast as preferred destination. But where have you read/heard 'its a lock'?

Thought be might be more keen to go back home to Adelaide.

My sauce .. was at Reddens going away drinks in Brisbane where he stated that he was off to West Coast. That's all I have .... .it was also said the coaching committee were not devastated as internally they believe he is overrated by the media.

Long way to go for a drink, given your name WA Demon!

Lol sorry but this comes across as "full of [censored]" type comment.

This. Toumpas's biggest issues are how much he cares, how frightened he is to make mistakes, and how much he beats himself up when he does make mistakes. It's not a lack of heart, and it's not a lack of talent. It's all in his head.

if this is so, I know exactly what this is like....

& he should NOT leave, if true. he'll compound the issue if he does.

I've always felt like toump has it, but is, 'Shy'... so to speak.

not being smart alec here but there is the converse.

The fear of success. Its very real and often stops people from taking risks or stepping up.

Kyosaki mentions it often in his scribblings.

For some a pseudo comfort zone is near enough

Kiyosaki? Robert Kiyosaki, the self-help get-rich snake-oil man?

Oh goody, the plan for Toumpas now is to max out all his credit sources and fling his money at random short-return investments?

Forbes magazine added a lovely subtitle to his most famous work.

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Bankrupt dad." To quote from an article there:

The tips ran the gamut from ridiculous to illegal and downright hurtful and included advocating for insider trading, arguing for the purchase of multiple real estate properties with little or no money down and telling followers they could purchase stocks on margin via unfunded brokerage accounts.

His only successful 'business' is selling self-help seminars and books to the gullible, but most leave happy because now they have some rhetoric to help them feel smug and look down on those worse off, how they are clearly just 'risk-averse' and 'stuck in a comfort zone'.

Please, let's not let that man's garbage start infecting our players. They'll start undermining eachother's game just to open up more salary cap room for themselves. Young players 'strategically' making the showers run cold so that rivals for a spot in the 22 miss a week to illness. And most certainly, performance enhancing drugs.

What i got from that was the typical one eye demon supporters that continue to harrass and troll these players.

Clearly Redden is coming to the dees Dazzle

3rd rounder should get it done?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
