He returned to the Parade after Blight arrived at West Lakes and cleaned out all the dead wood. He didn't change clubs "chasing a flag" as North at the time were far more regarded challengers than Norwood.
To say he eventually achieved this in '97 after North had won another in '91, is at best, a stretch.
He couldn't have known the Crows were forming and to a degree he was chasing a flag at that time, just didnt turn out any better off in that respect.
But it was definitely a big $ trade, and that would have been %90+ of the reason, no question. (Norwood splashed some decent cash at the time, *cough* Doug Smart).
Worth every penny though for Jarman:
- Brought us a transfer fee
- Won a Magarey
- Won a Premiership
