We left him in the lurch from what I remember.
Or was it to do with years and stability ?
He was a good hard player but sadly injuries tended to hit him at the wrong end of his contract.
I have no issue with Koby leaving at all he definitley would have struggled to get a game with us.
I thought he wanted more than what we thought he was worth.

I think the club got it right even if that was the case ., good player but we have a mutitude of his type . Sadly that's why I think Hrovat went.
Too many players the same and the club weighs it up.
In any case I wish the best for both players, at least they found new clubs and weren't given the bum steer by their manager like the poor swans gf player.
Re: Following our ex's...................
We couldn't afford to have both of him and Jong on the list. Each has some good attributes in height, run and hardness, but each has some limitations that can only be carried to a certain extent. Having both in the midfield would make for some really ordinary handballing to people who really don't need to be handballed to!
The judgement looks to be that Jong has more upside. I agree with that.

I like Stevo, wish him well whenever they're not playing us.

Was it Stevo who handballed the ball into the back of Bob Murphy's head from the opposition goalsquare one day?

Even if he has a good day and gets 35 touches 20 of them will go straight to our blokes so I'm not that stressed.

I don't hold any ill will towards Stevens. He really tried for us and was a solid contributor during what was a largely dirty time at the club results wise.
I'm with you. Koby is ok by me, never questioned his effort when he put on our guernsey. I hope he does well.

Daniel Lloyd to debut for GWS this weekend. Apparently we had him on a scholarship years ago but passed on taking him.

He was the match-winner last time they played Freo. He was more clutch than Ben Harrison that day ;)
