Yes, but its all about team balance etc. Forget what was then....were were totally fcuked up as a club with no sense or idea of values. We are now..that was then , this is now. Tom needs to adjust,, Thats life. We dont know what the club has actually offered, do you ? I sense the club has put forward fair worth. I also sense some may have an inflated idea of worth. Hence..impasse. So many games of 'blink' around ah well...

as good a reason as any

yeah yeah ...... NAH !!!

I really thought his body language spoke volumes over the weekend. I consulted the tea leaves and my interpretation is thus: Up until a 3-4 weeks ago I think he may still have been of two minds. He struck me as though he was just playing footy. For about a fortnight since he looked more 'on' ... more 'Melbourne' , less robotic and more ' right, he WE go guys' Only my gut talking , I think it's now...." to manager; get it done. " We'll see I guess

Signs week before QB . Extra 4 years

I just blame predictive text on the phone. Always a raffle as to how words display

I liked Daw before he was even drafted. I think his development has been muffed somewhat at Nth but some account must also be take note by Majak himself. Still find him interesting but I think he's not now of much use on our list. Probably get another home somewhere. I hear Punt Rd is shopping

I don't think discussion about T Mac is necessarily bs. As to trading him this may well occur if precipitated by the actions/decisions of the man himself. But back to Richmond and delusions at Punt Rd Clearly they are not all singing from the same song sheet. Short of them having Lazarus like ability tucked away in their lockers Richmond's tilt at a flag with current list is the stuff of Kerriganesque derision. It might take them a little time to get up to full gallop especially after shooting themselves in both feet !!

boom tish !! gold

and the first is Bullshlt !!

I think its marvelous that Richmond have so much faith in its abilities Lets not upset that cart

The club has an offer on the table... I can't see it changing much. The FD would have spent considerable effort in arriving at the money and terms etc. It wouldn't be ad-hoc. So at the moment the decision to stay of go is I would think purely Tom's. There will however be a tipping point whereby should the impasse cement itself then there will be no need for anymore deciding,it will have been done. Handy if he stays as the #2 defender. Not the end of the world if he goes. Hes just not THAT good. We CAN play footy without him. As to his brother.. Work in progress and surely not a lynch pin in all of this. Brothers dont always play together after all. No, ego is not a dirty word, but misreading a situation can prove costly

Thinking this change of demeanour on the ground will soon reflect in a signature off it.

It's easy.....because it is. What is hard. You've described much of it already. That's really all there is. A) stay for what is offered B) try to extract a tad more C) go journeyman for lotto It's no harder than this. Now some players arrive at a comfort quicker than others no doubt but if Tom/manager want to deny the logic that brings the club to the offer it has then they of course are welcome to entertain others. They are playing a game of "blink's Tom looking at it from Tom Club looking at bigger picture. IsTom really as good as his stance would have us believe?No If he isn't careful the club will make his mind up for him.

Ahh.. possibly the crux. If his ego won't allow him this then he's just as likely to not like playing as it either

The easiest thing to observe is that he hasn't signed. The algorithm can't be that complex in nature.

Whilst he has every right to do so he might want to re-engage brain. Mind you as many would suggest it's his decision making at times that brings him unstuck.

The MFC will have a contingency. It's done quite well so far overhauling the list. Tom might want to stop and think for a minute.

Agree. Need someone who has a better idea of things down back to relieve Tom of this burden releasing him to just do the things he's quite good at and not trying to do things he can't . To be Frank though of the two bigfellas holding out im more interested in Jesse's signature. I'm confident (now) the club won't be held to ransom ever again. The way some fawn over this bloke you'd think he was all AA . He's a player that goes OK. He does some good things and as many howlers. I'm glad to see his kicking ability has improved some ,a shame his decisions haven't always matched. If he left I'd lose no sleep.

So ..... Egypt is off I gather. This was probably only ever a pyramid scheme version of a travel scam anyway .

Impressed me also. Such respect.

Actually TMac needs to get on his bike and pedal !!

that was super footy intelligent. Id have loved to have played footy with a bloke upfield who'd do that for a forward

its fine I m fluent in gibberish
