Random Facebook page reported earlier that Richmond had landed a big fish . followed that post up with saying Bootsma has been offered a contract. I laughed.
Sounds funny, that they would call Bootsma a "Big fish" but a mate of mine told me after Bootsma got discarded that Richmond are seriously looking at him so don't be suprised if they throw him a lifeline somewhere down the track.

He can keep Dusty off the sleeping pills and on snapchat putting his wang on the internet

Well, we can't deny he'd be a good fit for Richmond.
I'd be surprised if the Saints weren't sniffing around as well.

Part of the Aint's contract would be that he has to share his snapchat contact list with the rest of the playing group... especially that school girl one

Tell me nobody else has heard that Menzel has agreed to terms on a new contract..... at Geelong! Pending a trade.

Am calling it Bullshit, or else a ploy by his management to jack up the length of his new contract with us.

Surely he wouldn't leave after he slid so far and we took the punt on him.

I think his management may be worried about injury, probably want a decent longer term contract (3 or 4 years instead of the standard 2). That way even with a knee reco he will be able to play a decent amount of football before his next contract negotiation.

If he signs for two and does his knee and hardly plays before his next contract, he would be in a poor negotiating position.
