I have had a bit of contact with him in the past and have a lot of affection for him - but my goodness he just seems tone deaf.

The supporters of the club he plays for simply dont want to hear him justifying the reasons why he wanted to leave. And going back to it simply gives the whole situation 'air'. Shut up and play.

I know I am short-tempered with all of this at the moment but I really just wish the players would just give the media a rest until we have done something. I didn't like seeing Treloar on 360 last week and...well, what can I say...I'm grouchy at the world and want performance over publicity.
It's logical question for the media to ask though and from a clubs perspective if they were to shut him down then it would create an even bigger story. This might be a no win situation for him unless there is an easy way to flat bat the responses other than saying "I will let my footy do the talking".
