It’s a big IF, seeing as siss and gunner had what 3 games combined? The future of Tim may be also an indicator of the clubs faith in the return to fitness of those two.

Nailed it. Has really good skills and work ethic. Has underwhelmed on here because we can all see the potential that he hasn't been able to deliver on consistently at AFL level. But for what he is right now he would be a great pick up for a team wanting a tall, athletic intercept defender with good kicking skills to set up play. If it weren't for the fact we are stacked for talent for this exact role I would argue we do everything to keep him.
Despite being a great clubman I can't see the club having much on the table for him. I would be offering a 1-2 year deal on very modest money. Something that isn't insulting but is reflective of the fact he isn't a walk up start with the current list direction. If he's still keen to stay then we get to keep a great quality person with a lot of flexibility in where he can play, and we can feel warm and happy about how great the club culture must be. But if he wants to take a better deal elsewhere that should work out well for all involved too.

Then we better trade them.
With injury and recovery to their former glories perhaps uncertain, the trade value available now from both these players is likely to be disappointing. Sicily has the opportunity to perform this year and reestablish strong currency based on future value … but who wants to trade our angry blonde prince - at full form he is a champion and a club icon (plus RFA end 2022)!

TOB is an interesting one for me to keep or trade off. Getting close to 100 games and it could finally click next season and we get 3 good to very good games out of 5 which would be idea or it could play out like this season and just be ordinary at times with glimpses of what could be.

Watching a replay of it Monday night and you are wrong. Mitchell got a lot of it but a lot went to teammates under pressure. Moore was damaging

Not sure how reliable it is but I heard that Richmond were keen on TOB.

They'd be mad not to.
If they can provide pressure up the ground then he'll run riot.

Posted a while back Richmond is the best fit for him. 3rd fiddle to Jack and Lynch. He has never had that luxury with us.
Third fiddle behind Rough and Gunston wouldn’t have been too bad

He was a kid and played 24 games while Rough was at the club and never played in 2015. Not quite the same. Did not count 2019 either as Rough was cooked. TOB has not played as a mature player (50 games) in a Hawks forward line with with quality KPFs.

Funny one with Timmy at the moment.
By his standards I thought he was actually okay(ish) this year (especially when played in the back half)
But was this his peak? Or does he have more in him?
Tim had always been a riddle, wrapped in an enigma and I fear we are still figuring it out!

7 years of development on our list.
I hope we stick with him on a 1 year deal and see how much he really wants it.

I don’t mind the idea of holding onto Timmy but I’ld also like the club to be using players like T’OB, Ollie, Howe and our current draft hand to get another first round pick.
I really hope we are busy behind the scenes on the trade front. Not anticipating anything huge but looking forward to watching it play out.
It’s been 9 years of development and he’ll be 28 at round 1 next year. He’s not a 25 year old entering his peak, he’s in his late 20s and on the slide. We’ve been patient, he just hasn’t come on as we’d like and he’s still not a lock for our best 22.
The best case scenario for everyone right now is, he gets a 2 year deal from a team which will play him for 22 rounds and we get (hopefully) a second round compo pick.
Some players enter their peak around 28-32. Part of the puzzle is body mass takes time, in some players. Timmy shouldn't be a KPP, but a flanker. He's an interesting player as he can play forward, back or ruck. Not many can. He's not a world beater, but he's kind of handy.
I'm don't mind him staying. I don't mind him going, as long as it's not for peanuts.

We’ve wasted 7 years, what’s another 2 years hey ?
It’s already been 7+2
