This the same "Loyal" Pat Walton ex Reynella Junior who signed with Marion then when he got more coin at Flagstaff Hill signed with them?
The Army training must have created some loyalty and changed his character?????
Patty walton, did not sign with marion. Fidgey was desperate so sign some big fish. i think they gave McEntee 1000 to sign and 400 game while everyone else played for peanuts on win/loss. Patty had every intention of playing at marion (300 game) and hooking up with some old school mates and a buddy from south, and was living with one of those mates, however..... His best mate S Abbott is at flaggies obviously and i think is captain. so when flaggies came up with an offer that was Incentive based but close to the marion and Pt Noarlunga offer (400) he decided to play with Saul
Now i think the fact that he told cox he might be going to the army, played for less, and regularly was seen helping out Saul with the Juniors is a fair indication that he is not a bad bloke. That is all the facts, 1st hand. Make your own mind up from there. But he probably deserves a break
