I was 11 or 12 when he went back to Adelaide.
What were the supporters reactions at the time?
Absolute gun, still looks fit.
More of an In Bruges guy?

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.

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.

Re: Following our ex's...................
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.
