What a player he was for us. We were so lucky to have him in the same team as Brian Royal.

I was 11 or 12 when he went back to Adelaide.

What were the supporters reactions at the time?

Absolute gun, still looks fit.

I was gutted!

Remember he wore the lace up jumper. Finger breakers those things.

I was pissed off that Adelaide were coming into the comp and we were losing players.

What a player just owned the near side of the ground at WO.

A sensational player and one of the best I have ever seen play for us. I think Hawkins even offered to step aside as the captain if it meant Tony would stay because he was so respected by his team mates.

The hardest working midfielder I have seen for us and he was running just as hard if we were 5 goals up or 5 goals down with 5 minutes to play.

I used to watch Crows games on TV just to see him slot goals from outside the 50 metre arc. He was just a sensational player.

I kind of understood what the attraction was for him to go back but I hated the Crows for doing it and the AFL for allowing/encouraging it.

I don't even think that we got any compensation but I might be wrong.

We also lost Simon Tregenza when the Crows started.

I was just about to edit my post to mention that. We had him signed, sealed but not quite delivered

He must have signed a contract with us the year before because I'd been keeping an eye on his form in the SANFL in '86.

Then Kym Koster a few years later.

And he played in 2 premierships

And coincidentally Simon Tregenza lives near me, said hello at the bus stop last week.

[Axe Man]

Not sure Tregenza was ever coming across. We drafted him at the end of 1987 and the Crows didn't come into the league until 1991.
