|
| Just announced on Channel 10 news, I guess his return to Melbourne was overhyped... |

| 3AW think it is bs. He will be a Tiger - 4 years is way to much for Siummonds. He is a good player, but not worthy of a four year deal. |

Highly suspicious!
Might force Geelong's hand on Ottens if true |

Apparently he was offered a 4 year deal, but rejected it. Tiger people think he's a done deal.
Not apparently, now officially quit

| Quote: | As previously advised, Fremantle player Troy Simmonds advised the club last Saturday through his manager Ron Joseph that he wished to leave Fremantle and resume his AFL career in Melbourne.
Simmonds, a club deputy vice captain and 100 AFL game player, has been a key component in Fremantle’s rebuilding over the last three seasons and the club was therefore making every effort to retain Troy’s services for the 2005 season and beyond.
Club officials met with Troy’s manager in Melbourne on Tuesday evening and a new four-year contract was offered.
Troy’s management today advised the club that the new contract offer has been rejected.
As an out-of-contract player, Richmond has the option to select Troy in the pre-season draft where it has the first selection.
“Fremantle Football Club made its best possible offer to Troy and we are most disappointed to be losing him in this fashion,” said Chief Executive Officer Cameron Schwab. |

| I think it is becoming more and more apparant that players who go interstate will return to the state of birth in about 3-4 years. Thompson, Stenglin and now Simmonds and we can all see that a few more will return in a year or two. |

| Chris Connolly on SEN this morning admitted that Simmonds will become a Tiger, and from the tone of the voice it came across as Richmond weren't remotely interested in a trade and it'll be the PSD for the snake lover. |

Hehe....and Freo and going to get dudded once again - add that to the list of Clemo, Brodie, McPhee etc.
I know it might not be via a trade, but they'll be dudded nonetheless. |

Morning Joel!
I don't think you can say the were dudded on Clemo, the guy was struggling for games at Fremantle and he sought an opportunity elsewhere, its something that happens all the time.
That said the Simmonds deal is a big hurt for the Dockers. He was bought in as part of the Jeff White as is the best of my recollection and now that he's on the way out, there is very little they have to show for it. |

| Simmonds showed very little while he was at Freo anyway. I wouldn't be interested although free in the PSD is ahrdly a big price to pay. He will ask for and get a good salary though and he will be overpaid. |

Tiges are doing extremely well this summer.
Should come out with a replacement for Ottens at no charge, three top 10 picks and another first rounder.
Unbelieveable. |
