The "We must get Tom Lynch at all costs...or maybe not" Thread

[Frank Gallagher]

Honestly guys, he has a very good track record. Yes, he got Treloar wrong (as did a lot of media people because Treloar was telling us he was coming), but he's gotten so many more right and he's been doing so for years. Hampson, Petterd, Prestia, Nankervis. He brought up Schache's name as a player of interest the year before the media even reported it (as he's done again with Lynch).

Please don't take this the wrong way either. I just thought it might help to give you a bit of context as to why the Richmond board is trusting this guy so emphatically. He doesn't bullshit.

Guess we'll know soon enough, still think the winner of his services will become the loser though, he aint worth that coin.

Treloar was never going to Richmond. My god these guys.

Fairly sure Treloar publically stated that he’d never even spoken to the Tiges, not ever entertained a deal. Where are you getting this idea that he’d told Richmond he was coming to them? The way I remember it was that Treloar to Richmond was a deal cooked up by the Matthews brothers, but they failed to get his consent.

If you ever need a laugh go on the scums board (9th) and listen to the so called podcast from the illiterate muppet called tiger71 who struggles to put two words together and gives his take on the Lynch scenario amongst other things. Calls Collingwood supporters frogs & pigs. If this turd of a minion is their number 1 source then no wonder the ****s are delusional!

I wouldn't say he is our #1 source - i'd say that the AFL.COM article where the reporter spoke to 10 officials from 10 different clubs on their opinion on where his new home will be, with 100% of them unanimously stating "Richmond - to be a more solid source. I would say 95% of the time in all world sports when the rumour or expectation is for a player to go with a certain side is so strong within the industry - its the way it plays out.

I would be more than happy to get him on board, he is an excellent player at the right age. If we don't get him however, then we still have a excellent list to play with.

Haha, best thing Prestia has done in the last year is with a Premiership - he wins

Trav Varcoe has won 2 premierships and broke Prestia's ribs - he wins

They have the best high performance and medical team at Hawks. It may be he values the ability to get on the park. His next contract may depend on that.

You forget though, we have the special offer of 'if we kill you it's free', Hawks can't match that.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

The "tear one hammy , get the second one free" offer was so popular that one of our players did them both at once.

 

[Heisenberg_]

I admit, I never go on opposition boards mainly because I don’t care. However this post has my curiosity. Has he ever had any info on deals that wasn’t in mainstream media for months leading upto it?

Shaun Hamson *shudders*

Ricky misses being in the news...sadly for the rest of us.

Footy is like that - no-one ever has a 'use by' date if they can find a way to be even mildly relevant.

Yes it's true. That's very pursuasive.

No one cares. The dude struts around and behaves like an arsehat. So he'll get treated like one.

Grant Hansen who compares Marngrook FS reckons “Lynch to Pies was done last year, he’ll be at the Pies next year no doubt”

If the deal was done last year then why is he meeting with Richmond this year?

Bit harsh to single him out Qman.

I wonder if Ricky’s “mate on the coast” is in Frankston?

Treloar NEVER spoke to Richmond

Just being polite?

Dermy?

Dermy?

Think Derm lives in the Black Rock area these days

Gotcha……..just understood the coast part and the Frankston connection.

It meant Gold Coast...…..I need another espresso.

I see that the Tigers flogs are getting nervous now, suddenly coming over to our board to post their crap, to defend their man like a brainwashed cult.

Treloar was never going to Richmond. Why can’t richmond fans accept that? It’s kind of embarrassing. Collingwood had that hip operation planned for him ages in advance

 

[unplugged]

But guys... Treloar was texting Cotch saying "I can't wait to play with you skipper!" aaahaha

 

[MyManLynch]

I wish these tiggers would slink back to their own board & continue drinking their own kool-aid.

 

[Apex36]

Was it Cyril's hamstring that finally got him.

No
