If Dimmer doesn't get the Toigers up next year and Malthouse does in fact take a years hiatus, there's your answer. 2013 will see him at Richmond. He's said it still feels like home when he goes back to Tigerland.

Been very quiet on news about Jimmy given all the other media surrounding the club. Any news/comments on his health?

Anthony Banik is [censored] you've not mentioned him.

A 19 year old after one season with an AFL club has an educated opinion on team dynamics. Beamer might've given him a crash course.

I will spew if he continues to lunch easy shots on goal because he hasn't had enough skills training pre-season. Gonna be a fine balance for Cale.

I just bumped into Sheedy at Sydney airport and apart from wanting to give him a few choice words, I asked him about the compensation for $cully. He said quote, "You will get 1st and 2nd round picks and you should consider that as lucky".

I wonder if the Lyon's have chewed the fat over anything in particular today? Ross Lyon strikes me as the sort of bloke that can move on fairly quickly. Realistically, how long would it take for an announcement if he was to accept?

Ross, come on in...

Love your work.

Hagdorn is a massive FW. I have nothing futher to say. Infact, might go and sit on the fence with Range Rover. When you're ready Tom...

Cliches aside, The most important thing is to always remember to finish what

Baloney..

I try and avoid cliches 'like the plague'...

I'm hearing you there RR.

A lot of this is just plain old bad timing. To deal in hypotheticals a little, which is quite reasonable on this site: If we were in a stronger postion for the last 5 years, we wouldn't be having this conversation or caring much about it How frequently will new franchises be added to the AFL in the future? Too bad GC and GWS fell right in the middle of us being really bad and We did in fact get TS and JT out of that draft so while it's going to be disappointing, we still have done very well. Build that bridge people.

No. I have a secret agenda.

That would help explain the amount of posts you pump out.

I still think our best chance is Ross Lyon. He's being too coy for there not be anything in the rumour mongering. The more I listen to him speak and in general the way he conducts himself is far more professional than Malthouse. But I agree, if we can't land one of these fish then the process of hiring an assitant will be a whole lot more hectic for GL and his selection team. Whether they've contingency planned for that scenario is another thing. I would've hoped they did.

In my utopian world, that is exactly what will happen. Can only hope..

It's fair to say that a lot of water had passed under the bridge since the offer from GWS was first put to Tom - most notably the sacking of the Coach and more recently the signing of some key players. All this will be adding to the delay in the decision (even though I guess Ward has had similar outcomes at the Dogs) and I believe it must be playing a big part in Tom's analysis of not only the status quo, but also looking ahead into that 5 years of potential GWS shambles. He's a smart kid, no doubting that, and I really would not be surprised if a large weighting of the decision was based on who the Coach will be - whether that's announced before Tom's decision or after.

Brogan the protector eh... Oh I would laugh if Cale Morton lines up in a GWS geurnsey beside Brogan.

If there is a column titled 'NFI' I would be placed under that. Good luck to the person who has enough time to do that.. Hang on, where's Crackers Keenan???

LMFAO... The amount of cash you have is relative to the type of player you attract there too... (hope my missus doesn't read this)

I couldn't care less about the process or charade, whatever you want to call it. The fact is this: If Tom stays and has a break out year free of injury, all would be forgotten. If it's another mediocre year with a few niggling injuries then there will be plenty of knockers lining up.

Even if he does GO, he will be back playing in Vic soon enough after the failed enterprise that will be GWS. I honestly can't see this outfit getting a following strong enough to support a long term. Anyway, don't want to get off track.
