What caught my eye about the article was his manager saying that he had been at Perth for 10 years. He is only 23 so was he playing for Perth when he was 13????

Yeh mike I thought the same thing. Who would have thought he’s got a manager pumping his tyres up? Since Cody has clearly turned his back on his team mates and the club that gave him his start and supported him through rehab for a bad leg injury a few seasons ago, I think it’s time to dish the dirt up on what’s behind this. I sure some of you know what’s behind it.

You are right DD. We haven't heard the real reason but I suspect he is a confused young man under pressure from internal and external forces that are filling his head with unrealistic expectations. We may never know. But it seems that he has become very determined to leave and may even look interstate if he can't get to EF.
No doubt EF have not helped their cause to get him across.
I believe that PFC should remain steadfast in refusing to clear a contracted and required player to another WAFL club. It would be a different ball game if he decides to go east IMO.

Going by his managers words, he doesn't seem confused to me.

But there must be a strong reason for him leaving- but you'd think Perth would be aware of it.

It also mentioned in the article that Ninyette is going to SF. I can only assume that Ninyette isn't under contract as you'd expect the same stance.

I spoke to a mate who’s fairly close to club news and he says it’s two reasons,one he suffers very much from figjam and hes being fed a lot of stuff about moving by a very close relative.

Yep, have heard all this. It has become chronic. This has been going on for a couple of years which begs the question: Why did he sign a new contract?

Gee having 2 live threads on him with multiple comments is going to feed into that FIGJAM mentality. Is he really that good?

Sounds to me like he needs a manager:

You mean a "new" manager ??? He has one apparently...Paul Peos

Can any Perth supporters shed any light? With due respect I don’t need to hear from EF supporters for their spin on it. Run in with one of the coaches, doesn’t like the role he’s been asked to play, fall out with the captain or other players at the club, thinks he’s worth more than what he’s being paid???

Maybe lost out in a love triangle?? Just remember Cody, you haven’t even been invited to a state training squad yet in your 5 or so years as a league footballer so don’t get too big a head mate. Where has Leggett come in last season and previous seasons Butcher Medals? Why is Cody not feeling the love and can’t stand the thought of coming back to join his team mates? Must be a reason.

In 2018 Cody came seventh in the Butcher Medal and fourth this year.

He has been involved in a Sate Squad. I think it was last year, but he was the 24th man and ended up as the team runner for the day.
