Eventhough Thursfield was a required player for Richmond's 2012 season, a growing landscaping business and the lure of life out of the goldfish bowl that is AFL football at a big Melbourne club had the 6 foot 4 25 year old wanting to retire.
The club is thrilled to have Will on board for the 2012 season. Joining him as assistant will be former tiger team mate Tas Clingan. Tas came off Richmond's rookie list three years ago and has spent the last two seasons playing with Wangaratta Rovers in the Ovens and Murray Football league. That taste of country football experience will be invaluable as the pair plots for success for the upcoming season.
Leongatha invites all players and supporters to a meet the coach day on Sunday the 13th of November down at the club around lunchtime. More details will be posted as they come to hand.
