Shame, was a player I wouldn't have minded seeing line up for the Tigers at one point.

Best of luck Dan.

Thanks for the memories and all your contributions to the club on and off the field. Best of luck in the future.

Classy guy, great interview. Hope he succeeds in his battle with mental illness

Also frees up 400K

The club stuffed up big time by signing him to 400k ...Why drag this out so long? The club should have cut him free a year ago.

We might have been able to keep Brett Morris with that money... Or sign a replacement for him..

Sorry to be harsh but I'm only telling the truth don't bag me for that..

Because you can't just get rid of players at the drop of the hat. You would still have needed to pay out his contract which would still be counted under the salary cap

Not saying your are being harsh as the point about the cap is fine. Doubt we would have kept BMOz though, as his mind was made up, and club wouldnt have paid what he wanted. I also think its important to understand he was under contract, and neaded to look after his family / self. Time to wish him the best, damned unlucky with injury and depression, but he appears to be very level headed and has a bright future. Thanks for donning the Red V Dan.

He was on a strange thing called a contract.

Best of luck in next stage of your life Dan.

speaking to a few Dragon fans today and they agree with me 100 percent..So disagree if like..

Most people will just take the moral high ground.. Coast Dragon it's not silly mate, he was taking up a spot in the 25 and we got not 1 game out of him this season..How is that value for money?

Don't shoot the messenger guys I'm only keeping it real... Alot of Dragons fans I speak to agree with me..

Thats fine mate, and most, if not all messages to you, were most understanding.

Your mates may make you feel good and thats OK. They, whoever they are, dont speak for me or those whom have a deep desire to acknowledge mental health, what it does, and how it impacts a man / woman and his / her family.

So, as i have given you the benefit of the doubt, can we give this guy a chance to retire, after he spoke so elequently, has battled all this shit, and not for 1 minute discuss what / if a cap is released? What would you do in his case ? Walk away from a salary and a steady job cause the fu...g fans said so ?

As you say "Keep it real mate" . Your fans are not the ones i know.

Go well Dan. Thanks for donning the Red V, and may you refrain from visiting this site, as you may think your efforts were in vain.
