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

We will find out in 2 weeks

Richmond out in straight sets

Why would Lynch still be meeting with people if he has made up his mind?

I've given up any hope we would get him, but the news reports of him still meeting people has me questioning if he has made up his mind yet.

For the free lunches?

It had crossed my mind.

It’s good to meet new people.

I reckon even if you'd made up your mind 90% you'd be silly not to at least see how the three clubs present themselves. And, if you've got a chance, to see their facilities etc.

Because its the polite thing to do

The polite thing to do if your mind is already made up, would be to simply say “I’ve already made my choice” and not waste the time and resources of the other two clubs.

I don't have much problem with him still meeting with clubs as long as he is reasonably transparent. Nothing can be finalised until trade week, so he may well have told Coll/Haw "ive pretty much made my decision" but both clubs still decided to make a last ditch effort. (And both would be negligent if they pulled their hat out of the ring before a contract is signed, as long as they are still exploring other, more realistic targets, unless they have decided they don't want him, or dont want to offer the contract he is asking for).

Personally I'm not too fussed with missing out on him - as long as our offer was fair (say 1.2 max) and Richmond aren't getting him for a steal (anything less than 900k-1m IMO).
I just hope that we've been using this time to seriously explore other KPP options.

No one at GCS will talk to him and he doesn't know anyone else in Queensland.

Lets not forget Tuck or Hodge never mentioned.

No matter what Heath Shaw does at GWS any time Collingwood is mentioned it will be with a tinge of car crash, or Dids for that matter.

I prefer to remember Heath for the smother of the century.

JT could win 3 brownlows but will be known or reported for one thing for the rest of his career. It will always be the last thing reported before signing off.

Haters gunna hate.

This is WADA and ASADA have no place even testing for recreational drugs.

Barry Hall is a violent thug, with numerous offences on and off the feild and yet he is on TV having a whinge about being "hate crimed" for making an insanely inappropriate comment about a colleagues wife.

Our priorities are arse about.
Police officers, judges and politicians should be random drug and alcohol tested monthly.
Politicians should be randomly drug and alcohol tested weekly while the house is sitting.

Athletes are not the torchbearers for the moral minority,

Politicians should be randomly ID tested - sadly all the tests would come back marked 'inconclusive'.

He doesn't need free lunches, I think he's OK

If an illicit drug can provide a match day advantage then its absolutely WADA and ASADA’s business to be testing for it on match day. It shouldn’t even be up for debate.

Could be ID - none of their citizenship details check out.

Might be an idea to take a step off the ole soapbox and familiarise yourself with the WADA code. There is no mention of "recreational drugs".

I wonder if there's a visa category for Politician, 3 years. Maybe 666 would fit the bill?

No good.
Tigers might be out, but while we are still in it why would he announce his intentions?
Four weeks to go...l

Or it's a prick of a thing to do. It's not polite to lead people along.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

And 'water on the bridge' means that the dam has burst and we all need to run for our lives.

Or it's been raining



ps since when does batman run for his life?

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Sorry to disappoint you guys but Lynch will be signing on at St Kilda. Sorry to break the news.

You do know Alistair is retired....
But in fairness to st Kilda he has completed his suspension time
