No problem mate,

I asked the question again about 'how massive' and I was told that it was a "substantially" better offer in terms of money when compared to what others are offering (holding cards close to his chest).

Therefore, if the decision came down to money - he would be Punt Road bound.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Could very well be.

That would basically go close to tripling his current salary - so I imagine that would be tempting.

Richmond have put in a massive 3 year offer to Tom Gillies.

More money on the table when compared to Hawthorn/Sydney.

I don't mind the idea of getting Gillies, is rated very highly down in sleepy hollow. But this and us supposedly chasing Tom Walsh suggest that Astbury and/or Post are on thin ice. The only other thought it is we are stockpiling talls to trade off because our midfield depth is poor.

I would get rid of Graham and bring a new young kid in who could become a gun. It's clear Graham will never cut it so quite frankly I am not interested in retaining him at all..even as a backup. Prefer to give the spot to trial youngster.

In fact we should use our rookie list mainly to hold 2-3 rucks and see who blossoms.

Well said mate. Those 2-3 rookie picks u may end up having 2 good-decent rucks and get a top 30 pick for one of them. Good investment.

Not at all, Thursfield is out of contract IIRC so it would be a straight replacement of him with Gillies and with McGuane reportedly entering his last year and wanting out it could just be that we're getting in a year early to get replacements. Finally lets not forget the rumours that Moore is effectively cooked as well and could be pulling the pin if he can't get going again.

FFS, i knew it, we are really going off with talks. Why dont the brains trust understand talks are useless, we need to stockpile chalks or dorks...

Astbury will be a CHF if Gillies comes. Gilles FB, Rance CHB, Grimes 3rd tall. Astbury CHF, Reiwoldt FF, Vickery 3rd tall

Prior to him being drafted I thought he would be a fantastic FB at AFL level - given his size and athletic ability.

In one way its a shame that he has had to wait all these years due to Geelongs superior defence, in another though - perhaps he can put to use all of which he learnt while in the Geelong development scheme and apply it in a new environment ala Jeremy Laidler.

 

[THE_GUN]

Although it would be nice to get Gillies i believe he will stay at the cats with Milburn ,ling & Mooney gone wojak and possibly scarlett going next year Geelong will make a counter offer possibly 50k less and gillies will stay.

Hard to move a player from a good team that can see game time for 50-60k pre tax.

But good to see tigers being aggresive

Sorry. That is correct

We took JON one spot ahead of Mitch Clark. That was pretty silly, in my humble opinion

Astbury will be a CHF if Gillies comes. Gilles FB, Rance CHB, Grimes 3rd tall. Astbury CHF, Reiwoldt FF, Vickery 3rd tall

I like the look of that. I don't mind Astbury at CHB but I also really like him at CHF and if we can swing him both ends that would be ideal.

Also don't mind Posty but wouldn't mind having another bloke like Gillies filling the spot so we aren't just relying on Posty to develop.

No room for Griff?

Hello Hutchy/beedee

Just heard that. Wonder what else we could get Hutchy to report on.

 

[tigs2010]

He would be the development player up forward and Post developing down back. Means we can give them both time.

 

[tigs2010]

Hi Hutchy. Oi Barrett hows Maric for compo plus sweetener going?

 

[hardball01]

where'd you hear that?

 

[Jasper Jones]

Just a small error to pick JON ahead of Clark

 

[tigs2010]

Saints are likely to downgrade 20-25 for a couple of pre-listed players. Would anyone do 15-20 for a couple that we want?
