Rumour Busted Adam Tomlinson to Richmond

[HBFlanker]

Has wanted to come home for quite some time and will nominate Richmond as his preferred club. St.Kilda were in the mix originally also. I was informed of this by a recruiting manager at another club who is aware of this so it has merit

As he is not a free agent Richmond will likely have to give up a first rounder or 2nd rounder and a player.

Would get games at Richmond in my opinion, good swing man but i think a third tall forward option would b best suited. Really settle the forward line of Jack, Tyrone and Tomlinson for the next 5 years

Absolute rubbish. Not only has he said he wants to stay he's said he'll "take whatever they offer me" in the way of a new contract. No beating around the bush, no I'll look at what they offer and make a decision in the fullness of time. No, it was "I want to stay and I'll take whatever they offer me"

Not going anywhere.

 

[grouse mate]

"would get games at Richmond". LOL.

Absolute gun, can play mid, fwd and back. Would be easily best 22 at a lot of clubs. 2nd rounder? Get off the gear.

Really? Wants to go "home"? Who says? Links?

 

[HBFlanker]

Well just wait and see then, from a very reliable source.

And i said first rounder going the other way

 

[tigs2010]

Would be perfect at CHF for us.

 

[Tiger71]

Would be perfect at CHF for us.

Agreed. I would blow my load if it happened as he is exactly what we need but IMO I agree with the GWS posters. I doubt we would A give our first rounder and B I had thought he was happy at his club.

not saying this is specific for this case, but as a general rule players lie on this issue

as you saw with some recent cases, fudging the "are you looking to move" question just increases the heat on you. Much easier to lie, because few give a rats once you do move.

We saw it with Otto. Still am pissed he was telling 6 year old kids he's going nowhere, and just a few weeks later he was gone. Classy, maybe not, but I get why he would lie.

FWIW its an issue we all have to deal with, next year will be an ugly one for us

Sooo. Players lie but brothers sisters cousins former roommates are a viable news source?

You bet, also the family doctors aunt is a perfect source as well .Disappointed you left that out!

I went to school with Adam, he was a few years below me and i said a maximum of 6 words to him in my life. Im clearly a reliable source and i know we have agreed to a 4th rounder for him. Fair deal.

Heard we had to throw in Aron Edwards in as well

Thats a seperate deal for WHE

 

[HBFlanker]

He cna love the club all he wants but when he is behind Cameron, Patton and Boyd for his desired position of key forward, he will go looking

According to your rumour.

 

[HBFlanker]

so is it a rumour that those 3 are your preferred tall options?

 

[Ambrosia]

Would be a great get for Richmond the guy is a freak

Yeah but he didn't have to did he? He could have just said "I like it here" and left it at that. He didn't. He could have said "I'll see what they offer me and go from there". He didn't. He could have said "I hope to be able to stay". He didn't.

It was a flat out unequivocal and forthright declaration of "I love it here and I'll take whatever they offer me"

But I suppose your cousin's next door neighbour's aunty's hairdresser's best friend's brother in law knows more

Lol never said that

In trade talk there is a tonne of bs, anyone who takes any of it as gospel is kidding themselves

Just saying, I've heard it before and sometimes it's true, sometimes it's true for today, and sometimes it's bs

I take anything a club, player or manager say this time of year with a massive grain of salt

Remember the things scully said about the dees prior to his exit

 

[TigerTime88]

Maybe GWS are all for it. They know they are stocked for talls and they may be happy with pick 7-8 in return and go after another kid they really like. If GWS don't lose out on the deal they could be happy for him to leave for all we know.

 

[etsal1]

Oh HBF. Can't wait to add this to the list.

Cameron (L) mentions Tomlinson as the fourth tall and he's definitely in GWS plans.

 

[captain cotch 9]

GWS just have to accept they are going to lose a star to two.
Clubs won't be stupid though.
I hope we keep pick 7-8. You never know...that pick could be the next Selwood.
I'd be against us trading our FRP until we are settled in the top four...so that won't be for a while
