Bombay Airconditioning

He’s contracted for 2 more Jumbo. But if we could get Lynch.

They’ve already stated he could earn as much as 500k. That was late last season.

Didn’t Roos bring in Leading Teams years ago to address leadership, communication and unity. They probably also talked about building a brand. This club seems to move in circles.

The Giants were apparently meant to win it the last two years.

Vince this season. Lewis 2019 Jones 2020? Too early to say, the next two seasons are locked in, anything after that should be taken year by year.

Lots of calls for Hogan to have a breakout year. 2012 : drafted mini draft 2013 : ineligible to play 2014 : sidelined with back injury 2015 : 44 goals 19 (20 games) age 20 2016 : 41 goals 33 (21 games) age 21 2017 : 20 goals 6 (10 games) age 22 I would of thought a key forward who can kick 44 and 41 goals in his first two years has already had a break out year. In 51 games he’s kicked 105 goals 58, for an average of roughly 2 goals 1 per game. At first glance that reads well but a lot of those 58 behinds were easy misses from 20-30 metres out with little to no angle. Jesse excels in some aspects of his game, his contested marking would be one of them. But as has been identified before, for a key forward he doesn’t take the big pack marks and struggles with distance and accuracy when kicking for goal. Jesse is and can still be a very dangerous player/forward but as it stands, it’s those deficiencies are the difference between him being a very good player and a star of the game. An extension of that is his contract, he’s out of contract at the end of 2019 at which point he will be 24, he will no doubt be looking for 4-5 years at 1 million plus per season. He has the next two years to show how good he can be, then any new contract can and should be based purely on his talent. Any “potential” or “go home” factor can now be removed. For me I’m still undecided on how good he can be but I no longer think he is a once in a generation player as he has so often been described. Weighing up everything that’s happened, i would have Cameron, Lynch, Danniher and Brown all ahead of him. Also after watching last years final series, so many talented key forwards were worked out by opposition clubs and shut out of games, I found myself wondering how he would he have gone had he played for the Crows/Giants/Swans etc.

Was just reading Robbo has also been dumped by SEN. Great news.

We also need to eliminate unnecessary suspensions rjay.

Note to self....I’ll re-read my membership.

Is “Be part of the journey” the slogan for both men’s and woman’s teams or just the woman’s?

I though KB went alright by himself along with his regular guests. Don’t see a need for him to be paired off.

Is it a full time gig for Dr Turf or just his normal cameo’s?

If Richmond winning the flag last year isn’t a big enough motivating factor then I don’t know what is.

I read he has the 9am - 12 slot Monday to Friday. Did KB also get the boot?

DC i personally feel the club should comment regardless of what the AFL does. As Pitmaster said “the nature of the allegation” warrants this much regardless of the outcome.

I get the views from both sides, but what’s remains is the club released a statement when this first came to the public’s attention a few weeks back, since then nothing. If there is no complaint/investigation/pending charges where is the follow up statement from the club.

If all the people that commented "I'm not going to comment until something more comes to light" didn't comment we'd be at about 4 pages.

I'm not losing any sleep over this DC, but if there was no substance to the allegation/s or as some would say "on the minor end of the scale", you would think we would of had either a statement from the club saying "nothing to see here move on" or an apology from the player involved. The longer this goes on lends itself to the thought that maybe something serious has occurred (obviously we all hope nothing has). As a paid up member of the club for many years I reserve the right to hypothesize on this matter with regards to a potential outcome the same as who I believe will be in our starting line up come round 1.

And if it's proven that the story was fabricated for an attempted cash grab the woman in question should be named.

And what if LH's scenario plays out?

Before anyone bangs on again about innocent until proven guilty, yes we know.... The above by LH is the best discussion point put forward so far.

Would the club not have a clause where the player has either breached his contract or be seen to bring the club into disrepute?

I'm still coming to terms with Richmond winning the flag last season as is most of the competition. Anything is possible for a number of clubs in 2018, a lot of it comes down to mindset and attitude.

Is Vince in our best 22?

Apologies as I don't know how to highlight things but to answer your question.... We know this from page 3 of this thread, a post by Drunkn167 who apparently has a brother who plays for the club.
