Hi all. First time poster, long time reader and very long suffering member. Never posted before because I've never had anything of substance to add to the conversation.
However, as I am Hobart based I sometimes hear snippets relevant to Tasmanian players.
In relation to Chip, the message from this former Tasmanian player was that Chip in fact wanted to stay. It was actually our choice to send him on his way as we knew we'd see a high pick as compensation which could then be used as needed.
Chip was apparently devastated by that decision.
I have no way of verifying the veracity of the story but I can see some reason in it from the clubs perspective and it also provides a different view on Frawley and possibly some of the other social media posts by players.
Read into this what you will it I just thought it was interesting and worth sharing with other tragics. PS I am a strong believer in both PJ and PR.
