Shit like this is why Salmon left.

Nice selective memory. That being said, I ******* hope it makes Slattery walk.

Groan. The effect of some feral supporters on Paul Salmon leaving is massively overstated and a convenient revision of history.

In reality, he left to Hawthorn for a few reasons:
1) He wanted to play in the ruck, Sheedy wanted to use him mainly as a forward.
2) He barracked for Hawthorn as a kid and had a long-held desire to play there at some stage in his career.
3) And yes, a small part of the reason was because he was copping flak from Essendon supporters at the time.

He can't have hated Essendon that much seeing as he came back to play for us after his first 'retirement' (he was enticed to come back to help out in the ruck division, which leads me to think that reason (1) was the main reason why he initially left Essendon).

Are you saying being booed off the field had no impact on him leaving?

You're either winding me up, or much less intelligent than i had you pegged for.

Read point (3) again.

Apologies, I misread that. In my head you'd actually written the opposite.
