The saints were going to play them this Sunday at Tasmania Lance Franklin was always Full Forward. Nathan Thomas JR was rover so he went up to his coach Leigh Matthews and said “I want to be Full Back and the coach said “NO”. Nathan Thomas JR got furious and got duck tape and locked him in the change rooms. On game day Leigh Matthews didn’t turn up to the match and the match was going to start in 30 minutes.
