The news that Collingwood and Geelong had reached agreements with Bobby Hill and Ty Stengle to depart the club was hardly a surprise.
But that didn’t make hearing it any less disappointing as both were extremely talented players who starred on the biggest stages for their clubs.
Premierships, All-Australian selection and a Norm Smith medal bear testament to the ability they possessed.
More importantly they are also people who I care about having enjoyed the interactions I have had with them over the years. Like their teammates and coaches and fans, I only want the best for them in the next chapter of their lives.
