Poor old Eddie. Becoming a bit of a child lately with his comments in the media. Time to retire.
I take him as serious as he has taken his 2019 diet.

Hang on ...Richmond aren't even in Richmond themselves.

A bit late to get involved in trading Eddie, if Collingwood weren't throwing cash at TURD like Dayne Beams and that Wells guy who barely played they coulda had a TOMMY LYNCH forward rather that lumbering **** Mason Cox.
Jolimont.
Noted
Who benefits from starting this rumour now?
Not Richmond, they spent 2 years working in the background to entice Tom Lynch, why would they show their cards this early even if they may be a suitor later in the year if Moore has a healthy season ... also they (we) have not given up on Rance reconsidering.
Not Collingwood, Moores risilience this season and the clubs performance will largely determine what they are willing to offer and what he may be willing to accept.
So its either the Media 'creating' a story or the Moore camp hiking up the bidding and looking for an early commitment from Collingwood.
If Moore is after success he is just as likely to be part of premiership success where he is at Collingwood as with any other club. It could happen this year!
If he is looking for the big payday there are clubs outside their premiership window with far more salary cap space than either Collingwood or Richmond.
As for Eddie he is ever the showman and a gift to Collingwood and all of the Victorian football clubs imo, he is the first to rattle the bucket if the AFL becomes a little too precious in boosting their love children clubs. I am a big fan of Eddie. There will never be another trade war.
One of the main reasons the then Victorian clubs instituted the AFL overlord was the moronic behaviour of Richmond and Collingwood in the 80s which almost bankrupted both clubs, it could never happen again.
It makes for a good read to examine the misakes of the past.

The poaching wars: Collingwood v Richmond
For during a period through the early to mid-1980s, Collingwood and Richmond waged one of the most bitter and personal recruiting wars ever seen in football.

TIL— that Jolimont is a suburb.
I thought it was just a train station in East Melbourne

Perhaps Yarra Park back in the day? Yarra Park State School is up on the corner (now apartments). I don't mind that, as long as we don't become a nomadic club like the Saints/Pies/Hawks. Tradition >> $$.
Watching the '19 prelim, some things that Moore did were unbelievable, a class above, so balanced in the air. Easily the heir to Rance's throne (I mean as best KPD in the league, not necessarily at the Tigers!).
I'd kill to have him at the Tiges, and any club that is not inquiring is derelict in their duty.

Hehe... jealous much?
If he was gettable Pickering would be on the phone to every club in the league. Or more likely his lackeys so he can then say “no ones spoken to me about it”.

Richmond 2 1st round picks to North getting Dustin Martin back in return
Dustin Martin to Collingwood in return for Darcy Moore plus we include 300k of Dusty's salary in our cap.

Extremely jealous -I wish we were in Jolimont too!
Nomadic clubs are those that have sold home games to play interstate.
I agree with you -Tradition>>$$

Vic Park was in Abbotsford, and Collingwood’s new base is actually considered to be Melbourne.

Eh...we haven't played home games at our home ground since the 60s!!
You could have a crack at the Tiges for flirting with Craigieburn...but that was off-season and when the cricket club was still at PRO and our players were getting stress fractures.
Collingwood cricket club had already left for Camberwell years before Eddie decided he was too good for Vic Park and the suburb...sad.

I understand, but if you're old Melbourne, you know the connection between Abbotsford and Collingwood, and Richmond and Yarra Park for that matter.
Anyway, just please get rid of Eddie and get the club back to Vic Park, and please Hawks get rid of boofhead so you can get back to Glenferrie.

Jolimont isn't a suburb, it's a road and a train station.
Jolimont is located in East Melbourne.

You are correct - not a suburb
Why would you get rid of Eddie if you’re pro ‘old Melbourne’?
He plays the role of the old footy head stoking all those nostalgic rivalries from the 70s/80s suburban VFL footy as he lived them!!
We are both based at the G now, Pies have the city end, Tigers have Punt Road end...bring on R2!!
