Um it’s got an adjustable strap at the back- one size fits most
He could also get a hair cut to have less volume going on

From what I’ve read and heard we can offer him around 1 mill a season probably unders compared to what he will get elsewhere so the club will need to sell the fact we are right in the window and great culture ect.
And that’s only if we do in fact have that kinda cash laying around
Doubt we would land him but would be bloody awesome

Thanks for your insightful input
Going by debates around here with certain posters, we dont need talls and Lynch would just slow the fwd half down too much and take away from what the smalls offer.
Besides we just drafted Balta, Coleman-Jones and Miller that would make for far too many kpps on the list. Besides it would probably mean one of our much loved premiership players would miss out on a game and we cant have that now can we.

My god something smells here !!
If we have the Cap space, And prestia/caddy can convince him to come then its a no brainer seeing as how we are 1 and only 1 tall short now that Griffiths has retired.

Imagine if we go back to back and then sign Tom Lynch as a free agent.
The entire forum will have to be shutdown due to all the salt.

My thoughts exackerly...
I think we could have a large amount of salary cap space; enough to after Lynch. Here's my fairly simplistic reasoning (lots of guesswork involved!):
- 5 senior players cut + 3 retirements [+$2m-ish]
- No senior acquisitions this year. Replaced with draftees and upgraded rookies [-$1m-ish]
- I believe we were subsidising Lids' wage at GWS in 2017, but that is now over [not 100% sure on this one]
- Salary cap has been raised 20% this year. Not sure what measures have been put into place to ensure this is spread across all players but surely this is going to have a similar effect to what COLA had [+$2.08m]
- I've been lucky enough speak to Dan Richardson and a few other Richmond people about the mechanics of the salary cap in the past. Richmond have had a policy of not financially rewarding mediocrity. For that reason, we tried to stay around the floor (95% of the cap). Everyone was aware that it would increase significantly if we had a period of sustained success, as an additional incentive. We are now the best team in the comp and so we can justify pushing closer to the salary cap [+$500k]
So there's potentially $3.5m p/a of space there.
I think we'd be mad not to go after Lynch if we can get him as a free agent at a reasonable price.

If we get him great
If we dont. Meh...
Jack still has another 4-5 years in him and we have a few young talls coming through.
I dont like that we would have to pay him 1M +
It would make our cap to tight

I agree, after all, all the talk on whether Tiger Woods would ever win another major after his 2008 US Open win didn't help us. Everyone then decided in 2017 that he wasn't going to and they stopped talking about it and look what happened. Premiers.
Can we fit another bloke in on a million a year? More importantly should we have 2 blokes on a million plus? Sydney lost Mitchell because they were irresponsible with their cap and that probably cost them a top 4 spot and another shot at a GF, what would it cost us long term?

2 things in our favor.
We won a flag in 2017
2 best mates are at the club.
Won't come cheap though.Suns would want to maximise the compensation for him.If they feel we offer unders contract wise they will just match.

No one matches and they never will, if by some fluke a club does match the AFL will change the rules regarding free agency status.

He knows that he won't get a Dusty type offer if he wants to get to rfc. He still wants to come.

I will be happy if we got him.
I also won't be unhappy if we didn't get him.

Don't think they did they just said they will.
I'm most likely wrong though.
