First he breaks Barlow's leg, then he ditches Freo for Giants. Loyalty... Gotta love it.

I think a lot of Freo supporters have turned on Palmer since he broke Barlows leg. In all honesty something just isnt working between Freo and Palmer and he prob just needs another opportunity at another club. I personally think he could be an excellent inside mid as he is hard at the ball and has incredible gut running ability so he could get to every contest all day long.

No doubt he has the potential to be a fantastic player. I really hope the GWS move brings him to his full potential.

I wish he could have showed his full potential at Freo

Well this season would have been hard, same as the end of last given the baggage that breaking his own team-mates leg would have left him, added with the attitude shown to him by Freo. Plus he was probably already going to GWS by mid season anyway.

Hard to break into the Freo midfield though when you have Fyfe who excelled this season.

I agree it would have been hard. Shame to see a potential A-Grade inside mid leave the club.

Lots of potential, but is going to be a lot better off a GWS anyway.
