Something i've been musing over this afternoon .

With the money being bandied around for this buffoon "reputedly" near the 7 figure mark ...

What would a Matthew Richardson be worth in his prime as an unrestricted free agent?

I shudder to think because the Cho was at the very least twice the player TC is ... and a hell of a lot more likeable in a big dopey labrador kind of way

well dude it follows the tradegy that was the timing of the Cho's career doesnt it? I mean, his career started in the wrong tiger line up, he suffered the knee to miss out on 95 and if he had started his career say 5 years later, he would have had Man Utd after him let alone AFL clubs..just tragic what how timing affected what i can safely say would have been one of the all time greats for the tigers, basically pushing captain blood for the greatest tiger..

Thanks for the vote of confidence Coggs, but there's been better tigers than me :p
 
What is everybody basing the opinion on that Travis Cloke is even considering Richmond ..............

has anybody actually heard or read something of substance or is it all just hope ?
 
Caught up with a friend who's dad is a member of the Carlton board (seriously). According to my friend, Mick Malthouse is signed, sealed and delivered to the Blues for 2013, and Travis is seriously contemplating the switch as well, due to a personal connection to Malthouse.

If that's the case, then your friend isn't much of a son for sharing that with someone who goes and shares it with Big Footy because I would have thought a deal like that would be Top Secret in the highest order.

Mick Malthouse has stated publicly that he would never take on a coaching role while another man was in the job. You can say what you like about Malthouse, but the bloke has integrity. I'm willing to bet that no such deal has taken place.

I took it with a grain of salt. My friend isn't what you would call content without knowing every little detail about every little thing. As a result, he is quite grating on your nerves. His dad uses this to mess with his head, to keep him happy. I remember about 6 years ago, he told my friend that they were going to trade for Richo, who had agreed to join them. My friend ran with the story for months, until trade week when the story was found out to be a lie. I personally believe it to be a bust story, but to be honest, I have a feeling that, even if it is a bust story, it certainly makes sense.

Certainly sounds like a Carlton board member way to raise a child.

Well, if that's a red card, what is the penalty for being the offspring of a Carlton supporting father? XD

That in itself is punishment, facing the constant reminder that they're salary cap cheats and tankers. :p

As for Travis, I get the feeling he just doesnt fit the new breed of Richmond players. I recall that what got Conca over the line was the high score he got on his psych test?

Stewart "two time premiership player" Dew. Very much an inspiration to football as Tubby Taylor was to cricket.
