Yarran released from his Richmond contract

Anyone see him on the news at preseason training yesterday?
He'd been in a fair paddock.

If Carlton get rid of you......... there is a good reason for it!!

[Dutchy]

Got to wonder if Carlton disclosed his issues to Richmond prior to the trade

Good question.......,Do they need too?
Or is it up to the player and the new club to discuss/disclose it?

Probably don't need to, but would be poor form if they knew about it and didn't disclose it.

[Booney]

Called due diligence. Of which Richmond exert none.

So, what was the reason in the case of Betts, Garlett and Waite? Was it because they kicked too many goals?

[westcoastpanther]

They said on SEN last night Richmond were warned by numerous sources not to go near him, but alas.....

We recruited Clark and McIntosh so I'm not saying squat.

They all left to play in better teams......Carlton never helped them clear out their lockers.
Yarran on the other hand had plenty of helpers clearing out his.

[Dogmatic]

WTF?
He said this year his poor form and interrupted year was in part due to his mourning of the death of Muhammad Ali.
“I’m still mourning the passing of the great Muhammad Ali. I think that is something to note,” Lumumba said.

Strange cat this Lumumba... interesting that people haven't had a crack at his behavior more often.. after the Collingwood drama, now this, and using Ali as an excuse for poor form..

Imagine if Mundine or Goodes came out and said these sorts of things..

He's a cooked cat, yes. But that comment, in the retirement story, about Ali has been taken entirely out of context.
Earlier in the year he gave an interview where he said he was struggling with the death of Ali. Yes, interesting, possibly strange.
However, he didn't make the claim that it had prompted his delisting from Melbourne, or his concussion issues.
But, yeah, he's a bit of a head case.

His retirement and ongoing issues at Collingwood really reinforce how good a coach Malthouse was to get the best, team-oriented footy he could've out of players like Lumumba, Shaw, Dawes and Cloke.

[Wedgie]

I was never that great at footy, I blame Elvis dying.

Well if he advanced on a bunch of kids with a war dance or cheered 9/11 I reckon you might be right.
