Great player and captain for the Tigers - Trust he gets the sendoff he really deserves.

Yep great player great club man bleeds yellow and black and a fantastic role model for anyone wanting to play AFL.
Like you i hope he gets all he deserves out of what is left of a wonderful career one of those guys that none of us would mind having a premiership medal round his neck he's done the hard yards. Shame the Tigers weren't where they are now 3-4 years ago, have always respected this bloke how could you not.

Sad to see him go but figured his time would be up at seasons end as he seems to be a step or 2 off the pace of the game this year.
Was captain through the dark days and has always been a gun player and obviously a great leader. Any time anyone is interviewed about him they mention that he drove the standards that have got us to where we currently are, a respected club again. Well done Newmo. Lets give him the fairtayle finish with a premiership medalion around his neck :P
