He was certainly classified as an in at Fitzroy - they had based a lot of their off season planning around him after he had committed to 2018 with them
as an A grader. So yes, he’s classified as an out and a very big one.
Calm down. To My knowledge Haniford was never a "long term" strategy for the club. At best he would have been a 2 year deal. That's AT BEST. Quite frankly i doubt the club could have afforded him after that.
Definitely a solid out for us won't deny that. he was 100% committed for season 2018, as possible Mid/CHB, however his partner got a job in woop woop.... is what it is.
Sam and his C grade, was a short term strategy for the club in terms of his talent and player pulling power to begin to change the dynamic of the playing group, and bring in fresh faces from suburbs and clubs FFC had previously never had a look in with. Some are going back to their old clubs, some retiring, and some staying on. The best thing is they take good memories from the club for the year, and that filters back to other people...who may or may not come out of the woodwork...
and Some people thought it was going to rain flags galore ......
Oh and bedge.... whats the second rule of fight club?
