Like you really care what a 22 wantaway thinks ?? It's his life/career. This had 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 all over it months back. When little made sense, when events didn't marry with 'intents' there was but one logical conclusion.....and here we are today. He wants to go home.... fine by me. Dees..... need to exact a decent return... And we move on. Just another naughty boy 😉

I'm not thinking the club is one bit surprised. The language was there all along. I disregard anything he apparently said, as is often the way actions speak louder. Personally I dont give a 🐀🐀🐀🐀 A very average player for mine. This just helps King develop a new team. Onwards and upwards. I do have empathy for those that trusted him.

I hope King took note of yesterday's tackling by the Lions. That was elite. Not just the power but the method. Geelong reminded me of.... well.... us.... half hearted one handed 💩 Brisbane tackled with purpose, effect and a nice little nuance of menace . Quite simply thats how you do it ; master-class.

Belated birthday greetings. Nice part of the world... enjoy. Dont let the bush turkeys get ya !!

Their Coaching in none too shabby either

Did anyone fling him a Dees jumper after the siren ? Too soon ??

Actually have fond memories of the Linton ground. Mate and his brothers all rabid Ainters. Sitting up on the wall behind the northern goals... laughing as kids on their bikes nicked the wayward sherrins. Watching the animal enclosure off to our right... lovely chaps 😉. Took turns getting the tinnies. Good days. Been to that Drive in but preferred Sandy. Now the stories about the 6 😉 lol You may recall the old Moorabin hotel... another salubrious establishment. I see now how i might have been hasty..

Picks are also currency during 🎪🤡 time

This ought to be reported as an offence to sensibilities !! Apart from a thousand other reasons... he's not that good.

There was a rumour Cornes had half a brain... but i think they were overstating the case ....

Ahh.. the broad and beautiful acres of Moorabin. So much nicer than Torqua or Bellarine...

Occam's razor

Just HOW big is the Aints war chest ??

But the price might be right ...or ok. And the price might be set by metrics totally unacceptable to the great dland unwashed but critiques and stamped by the club. Right atm.... I trust the club to work out what's best. Tracc is but a cog in a machine

Whilst you obviously want to keep your better talented players I do wonder whether this has all become more a story about a tail and a dog. If the club has a view to where it's going and how, and who will lead it , it also must be firm with the process. Im not particularly suggesting any real mischief but hopefully King gets the opportunity to speak with players and put forward the vision whilst also laying out the reality. Players can't be the ones in charge. I do believe Tracc is essentially a mercenary player now. Again thats fine if hes playing well. I do think you play better when you're on board properly...

It can also represent a change in direction. Ooze will be familiar with the idea of trading for need. Draft is only for recruitment... They take time... if... If Richmond want to start moving along quicker they need players, not draftees.

I know.. just being sarcastic Daz. I have be saying all along it seemed only logical he hadn't actually signed. Lots of folks suggesting other ideas but ...well... 🍩🍩🍩

Calling Chilliboy......

Just putting it out there. 1) take-off any rose coloured glasses when evaluating the worth of any player. Like any market he will be worth whatever convinces a deal to transact. 2) picks DO NOT need to be used per se.. They are currency. They can be on traded/used or banked( depending on what draft they apply ) Point being.... think outside the box folks.

Im guessing its a bit of both. Opportunities and Loyalties. That said I think there's an overriding reason, and quite possibly the one that differentiates him from another ( possibly ). I think he's really found his passion for the game and love of the jumper. He really seems to be involved and connected out there. Im just not seeing that same thing in #5.

Ooze quietly building his Footy I.Q. 👍

I can agree to that. But what it says to me is possibly the entire notion of BRAND as contextual to location etc might all be urban myth as it doesn't bear scrutiny. I think he just wants to play footy ( a bit more his way than not ) . His SOCIALS etc exist but possibly quite separately to his sporting work. Granted his audience was introduced via footy and it may well live or die (sts) according to his success but it may not matter where he resides or plays to be just as effective. I get the idea he's quite pragmatic in his thinking about his career ( now ) . I'd be thinking he sees himself relevant for perhaps another 5 years. That time frame is probably not going to prevent him packing up and relocating. We'll just have to watch it play out I guess.. Lol...he could end up at Geelong.... with his own lifestyle farm and channel

Just curious... are WE that Big Club ? Pulling BIG crowds ?? 🤔🤔🤔
