Former Fremantle Docker, Rhys Palmer plays his 100th AFL game on Anzac day.
He payed 53 games for Fremantle,won the Rising star award in 2008,also the AFLPA award for best first year player.
He won Fremantle Beacon award that year as well.
Palmer played for Fremantle between 2008 and 2011. He suffered a set back when he injured his knee and needed a reconstruction.
He struggled to maintain a place in the Fremantle line up and moved to GWS as an uncontracted player in September 2011.He joined other uncontracted players Phil Davis and Callam Ward at GWS.
Palmer has been a regular player for GWS and has become a leader of the young club.
Full marks to Palmer for his perseverance. He is a hard working player who isn’t afraid to put his body on the line for his team and tram mates.
I wonder how he would have gone under the tutelage of Ross Lyon!
Well done Rhys. Maybe a Neeshie for the rest of his AFL life.
