Is that why he changes his mind each day?
He knows Cogs is undecided and so changes his own mind each day.
Damn he is good......

That Would be better than compensation but would we get more in a trade of we matched?
I’d be surprised if another club could/would offer more.
That’s an early (ish) first, a mid first plus a solid player that fills a need. Extremely unlikely to happen but I think that would be a good deal for the Giants.

Sorry forgot about the compensation.
Yeah if he were to go would think that would nail it.

It's not his fault he has unanimous opinions in his head
Dug up this article from last year from Gil re Lynch...worth a read.
www.theage.com.au
While he does mention he likes the romance of players being a 1 club player, he goes on to say it's Tom's decision, that he has no issues with players moving clubs, that the ambassadorial money won't hinge on whether he stays on GC or not and that the impact of one player at a club is overstated.
Um did he say any of those things when talking about Coniglio? No.
www.foxsports.com.au
In fact he was must stronger in his language the other way, saying 'i'll be explicit - I want him to stay up there (at GWS)', that he would be 'disappointed' if he left, appealed to him as a 'leader up there' that he should stay and that his advice is that 'it wasn't a given' that he will leave.
What ******* bulls**t.
Your move, Tom: AFL won't offer ambassador role until Lynch picks club

It’s almost not hypothetical which suggests Hawks likely have thought this through
Me hoping won't change but I WANT him to come to Carlton.

I must of missed the part where he says the ambassador money hinges in him re-signing?
So worded slightly differently but basically the exact same thing.

You don't think he would get it at the Hawks? Probably end up getting more.

At no point did our ITK definitively say it was a done deal.
no pau gasol was going to the bulls im pretty sure, and lamar odom was a high draft pick with massive off-court problems. Cp3 was one of if not the premier young player in the NBA at the time. Was nowhere near fair compensation.

Ambassadorial payment if he comes to the Hawks?
Shamed Avatar bet for a month if he is signed to Hawthorn? I say no

Huh? In the knows that Cogs hasn't signed with anyone yet. Whereas your board has a debutant poster who claims the deal was done years ago.
But what if it wasn’t down to Carlton and GWS?
Would it be akin to last year where the late minute rekindled interest in Sheil (when Essendon dragged committed to trade two first rounders and then renegades) retrospectively validated the credibility of the posters?

Didn't definitively say Shiel was a done deal at Carlton either.
But isn't being very strong but leaving a chance that it doesn't happen just a cop out?
Not trying to have a go but the Coniglio to Carlton talk was very very confident even if they never said it is done.

I think having the highest offer on the table gives you the right to be confident. To be in front of what is fundamentally a bidding war would make you believe you're a strong chance.
But as we both know money is just one factor of a multivariable equation when Cogs is making his decision.
Yep I was mistaken. In a 3-way trade, Pau was going to Rockets (and they were sending more assets back to NO Hornets).
End of the day, it's just never a good look when the league bosses have a dual role (managing the league, and acting for a particular team).
