Can recall Rhyce being on the nose at Collingwood after the drink driving caper with his brother. Not sure the Collingwood hierarchy lost much sleep with his departure at the time. He became the collateral damage.
Fair call on Davis although can't recall the lure of money being a factor. Wasn't he homesick ?
Yeah Ryhce was shipped off so they could keep Heath and Didak.
The pies lost Davis, though they preferred to keep him, he was a loose canon so they were not devestated.
The pies have not lost many over the last 20 years or so.
They lost Ron Todd to Williamstown in 1940
Interesting that he signed up for 2 years, which means the second GWS year is also ruled out. I would have thought a player like Thomas would've been better to sign a one year deal, and then try to get a bigger deal this time next year.
Perhaps it is lined up for when he'll reach the FA limit?
