Round 23: the other games. For whom shall the wheels fall off?

Yeah well, when you look at the potential of that list, and apparently their Academy pipeline is awesome, no wonder he signed on for six years.

this is coming from a guy who couldn't believe he had to play away from the MCG

[Blood Fever]

Also, he won't have the Melbourne footy press fawning over him any more.

And the lack of potential at Richmond. He could see the writing on the wall at Tigerland.

I think they’ll keep it up as long as GCS improve

Stewie is no fool and has been in the game a long time. So its not like he would have been completely blindsided.
Regardless of what was said publicly he would have known the writing was on wall. Will Hardwick get more out of the
playing group? Time will tell. I hope so. It's hard to dislike the Suns considering all the obstacles they are up against.
I never understood why they got rid of Guy McKenna back in the day. Wasn't the team on an upward trajectory
at the time?

I mentioned in the Hickey retires thread that I watched an interview Hickey did with Will Schofield. Hickey said some things about McKenna which leads me to believe that he isn't much of a people person. One example was when Hickey notified McKenna that he was leaving the Gold Coast for more opportunities elsewhere, especially because Tippett was meant to be going to them. McKenna's response to him was that Hickey thought he was a better player than what he actually was.
