does anyone know why we didnt re-draft him when richmond dumped him?
and why he's quit footy all together? was a very solid player for us... surely his foot skills, overhead marking and pack marking abilities would of been useful in our side full of running players.

A high injury risk. Was breaking down a fair bit at the tigers and the club did consider him, but the injury factor killed him. He was a decent footballer with an excellent "footy brain".

He retired back in August. I think his mum said he was going to concentrate on the player management business that he has with Ricky Olarenshaw
I still reckon we would've re drafted him for 2005 but Greg Miller going through the wrong door on the Zantuck trade in my opinion may have cost him his chance.
Disappointing the way it ended for Blumfield. Was a personal fave of mine, and to see the way his career went down the tubes at Richmond was hard to watch. An absolute champion bloke, and could play a damn good game of footy when fit and in form.
