Recommitted Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti [re-signed until 2022]

[perplexed]

this smells like bulls**t to me.

Who doesn't know about crackling on Viet pork rolls?!

I do now, thanks to Tippa.
I reckon you guys may need to improve the catering out at the airport or you might lose him to Footscray.

Obviously the longer this goes on, the bigger the problem is for Essendon. If he hasn't re-signed by the end of the weekend, I think he is off to The Dogs. Why wouldn't Essendon pay his asking price anyway ?

Why this weekend?

Not necessarily true from what I gather the deal is pretty much done it's just a matter of finalising the details as the reason it's been dragging out.

Reckon he is no chance of leaving but they'll lose Fantasia.

No we won’t. Raz has no intention of leaving and his manager came out again today and backed that up

 

[VanDemonxx]

I have absolutely no idea why Melbourne aren't throwing their hat in the ring for this bloke

 

[Jesse Custer]

Doesn't strike me a player that will leave.

He’ll do what his adoptive mother tells him to do and she and the club aren’t on the best of terms at the moment. Likely to sign on but there are some at the club who wouldn’t mind if he left because of her.

If she’s that difficult to deal with it would be fireworks with Peter Gordon.

By all reports his mother is a strong woman but I think you might be off the mark here.

Undoubtedly, I was being facetious in regards to the above post.

Why would she have beef with the club? Essendon were the only club who took a punt on Tippa if it wasn't for Essendon she wouldn't have son playing AFL.

The club has looked after Tippa very well

I thought I read that this is the attitude she has an issue with. The suggestion that AMT owes Essendon everything for his success and that they should somehow be grateful and take well unders his value. Happy to be corrected on this.

I don't think she mentioned money at all, more to do with the assumption that Tippa would have not busted his gut if it wasn't for Essendon, it takes away all the hard work he did himself to get to where he is now.

Thanks for the clarification. Surely you guys do everything you can to keep him.

I hope we do, but we can only do/pay so much.

I personally think he'll stay

I'll be staggered if we let him go like DapperDon said il think he'll stay

The chasing of Martin makes it interesting if your salary cap is as tight as alleged. Means you may feel he's leaving, or someone else may be on the way out?

Daniher imo both Heppel and Worsfold didn't really sound convincing on AFL 360 when they asked if Joe will be at Essendon next season.

The money martin wants is what tippa wants, so I wouldn't of thought that to be the case

Reckon Francis and Fantasia far more likely to be honest.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Has to be some p1ss taking about the dollars being reported. 650k+. That's ludicrous.

Good, quick & elusive small forwards, are worth their weight in gold in the modern game.

Can't see him leaving the Bombers....He's obviously going to get a huge pay increase.....Would love him over at the Hawks.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Any chance Hawthorn would use some of the rumoured $3-4 million in cap space to offer him a monster deal?
