I copped heaps of shit for predicting it, particularly off parkesy

the facts are - he did. didn't earn a single vote in player of the season voting by our experts. he was garbage. letting him go was the best thing gve did
Getting your seasons mixed up buddy, Byun came in the season after Ljubo left.
Topor was 3 seasons with us, the first 2 under Branko and the 3rd under GVE.
Had a good 1st season, 2nd he was great and 3rd he was poor to average overall. Now he is probably having the best season of his career. 3 good seasons out of the last 4 seasons, but the "experts" on here will still try to say that he is garbage!!!
Oh and if you want to go back further he was Perth's Player of the year before he joined us....they're the facts mate not a figment of your imagination.
