Poster on the Premiershipmond board is suggesting that Buckley said at a Balwyn footy club night that he thinks Lynch is Premiershipmond bound. Can anyone confirm if Buckley was even there?

Balwyn Football Club Website indicates was a Wednesdsay Lucheon at $300 a head with Guest Speakers -Nathan Buckley, Rodney Eade, Jonathon Brown & Sam Pang.Nathan certainly making extra Bucks outside his coaching role for Guest Speaking, SEN & FOX Etc. Good for supporters for Club updates & not so good when subject to occasional slip up when advised had spoken to Lynch.Would appear smoke matching the fire.

Why would Buckley even say something like that though?

He would rather not answer I Guess.
It’s a paid gig, so he gives his opinion...most are saying Richmond??
I assume he doesn’t know the answer yet.

The interesting one for me is Jon Ralph. He is close to the Tigers and one that is used along with Caro and Mick Warner to set agendas for the Tigers.
Ralph has moved from 'he is going to the Tigers' to he believes 'Lynch to Pies.'

Good point. The other option is that they misread his earlier intentions and are now aware it's a three horse race. The optimist in me hopes that he is firming for us. I'm fairly confident all three teams will have room in the cap and would have been planning for a while so it really comes down to his preference. Obviously he has mates at Richmond but the lure of playing for your childhood club under your childhood idol would have to make the pies appealing - plus the team maturing at the right time and being a clubman after he retires.

Agree with you, I’m sticking fat with all the tell tale signs since last years trade period & believe he is Pies bound until he announces otherwise.

Just like the team you barracked for, i doubt having 2 mates at another club makes much difference. They are considerations but not deal makers. When players move they are leaving more mates behind than mates they are going to, and players still move.

Besides he is only a stone throw away from his mates, can catch up with them anytime.

Given all 3 clubs would have been working him for at least 2 years; this time last year I reckon Lynch told Tigers he’d most likely go with them. Which makes sense as he wants some success; Tigers just won the premiership and Pies and Hawks finish 13th and 14th.

Fast forward 12 months and all 3 in Top 4 contention. Choice not as clear anymore. Can’t fault Tigers posters for saying it was a done deal 12 months ago because it probably was at that point in time. Different landscape now for Pies and Hawks.

Josh Frasers cheeky comment... I read it as “it’s pretty obvious you’re pies bound, just spill the beans”

Doubt Bucks would be getting anything for it. Be merely part of the clubs community engagement processes.
 
On SEN Breakfast, Riewoldt was asked if he took a pay cut so Richmond can afford Lynch, to which the two-time Coleman Medallist replied: “I don’t think I took a pay cut for that reason.

“I took a pay cut because I’m nearly 30 and I wanted an extra year on my contract.

“I’ve been paid well over my time and I’ve come to a point now where I’d like to sure up my contract status going forward.
