All over twitter. The door is slightly open. RFC need to (if not already) CONVINCE Alex that
- life balance is playing on for a few more years whilst we support the establishment of his outside football activities.
- Nepal in November - tick (just dont freeze your toes off)
- The alure of the fun, play, Richmond Man, team, comradeship and so on.
Just keep at him till one Monday his Jepp is in the car park and his start running laps! Perhaps the lack of social media acknowledgments was many truly believe he would not be able to stay away. With his comments today he is fighting a temptation to continue doing what he loves (playing AFL), over to you Peggy/Brendan/Santa (Balme) and leadership team to talk Alex back to Punt road and show him that he can have both AFL and other interests in his life. We can help him establish his post football career while playing the next 2-3 seasons. If not a legend already he can become a multiple premiership player at Richmond.
To date the lure to come back has been commented by everyone bar Alex, today the door has officially been left open and it would be negligent of us not to convince him now is the time to come back to training, do a mini pre season and get him right to play in 5-6 weeks !

Cant have this 'what if' hanging over the club. It will be asked by every journo at every opportunity.
I want him to return to playing with us as much as anyone but I’m worried about the distraction. As long as he knows (which I’m sure he does), that the club want him back that’s all it/we can do. Park it until he decides he wants footy/Richmond again.
got enthused a month back when jurnos where speculating, this is the first time he, himself has opened the door.... very different to hypothetical journalism of 4 weeks ago. If he makes comments like that, as others have said, it can be a distraction we can do without. Come round 2-3 he has either missed the game so much he will decide to play again or this is just the separation anxiety that comes with abrupt decision to call it a day.
Come on Alex. You're either in or you're out. You know what's involved, the input required, the output you get. No allowances for you. Your call
Created some fantastic media hype around the launch of his new childrens book though...
I'm with you @Mr Brightside ,thought it soon after he went, and I'd be sticking that dollar on Essendon!
If this is the case, and I'd pop a fiver on it (Not that I'm a betting person), it does give some weight to the story there has been some type of incident at the club where he's not welcome back. Otherwise, he'd come back to us, premiership window and all that. If it's not us, nothing else seems to make sense.
