All over twitter. The door is slightly open. RFC need to (if not already) CONVINCE Alex that
- life balance is playing on for a few more years whilst we support the establishment of his outside football activities.
- Nepal in November - tick (just dont freeze your toes off)
- The alure of the fun, play, Richmond Man, team, comradeship and so on.
Just keep at him till one Monday his Jepp is in the car park and his start running laps! Perhaps the lack of social media acknowledgments was many truly believe he would not be able to stay away. With his comments today he is fighting a temptation to continue doing what he loves (playing AFL), over to you Peggy/Brendan/Santa (Balme) and leadership team to talk Alex back to Punt road and show him that he can have both AFL and other interests in his life. We can help him establish his post football career while playing the next 2-3 seasons. If not a legend already he can become a multiple premiership player at Richmond.
To date the lure to come back has been commented by everyone bar Alex, today the door has officially been left open and it would be negligent of us not to convince him now is the time to come back to training, do a mini pre season and get him right to play in 5-6 weeks !
