Some on this forum believe all it takes for a star to move clubs is a helicopter.
:lol
You never know though!

Reckon Grigg's helicopters would make our stars want to change clubs....

Admittedly I haven't seen much of him, but Toby Nankervis from Sydney looked alright the other night. Still young at 21 and a little short but he just looked like he had a real go and wasn't too shabby. Laid 9 tackles as well. A bit behind the pecking order over at Sydney so could be a realistic.

 :shh :shh

What nine tackles in a game, that's preposterous Hampson laid 36 for a whole season at 1.8 per game, how does Nankervis find the energy to ruck as well.

I suppose you are going to say something totally outrageous like he also involves himself in general play around the ground

He hasn't mastered the coordination to place hands on hips like our man Hammer so he just runs around and happens to land on people

Gee the experts we should have at the club, hell the RFC are missing out.

I just hope they start teaching everyone to not watch the ball as they kick it because it's obvious Choco Williams wasn't :banghead.

Oh, and I hope they stop trying to lure players to us and just wait for players to come and ask us. It's rude to even try without knowing whether they'd want to play for us first

Well if that's the case he just isn't a good fit for the RFC then

I don't know what he'd do sunshine, I'm not a mind reader....but yeah let's not even enquire, I'm sure no other club will either....

That's why you're on a forum as opposed to being paid to do this for a living.

Tom Browne on Ch 7 news just now:

Bulldog Lin Jong most likely off to the Gold Coast despite his mid-season 'visit' to the Pies.

Brisbane's Pearce Hanley also off to the Suns for a first round pick.

Tom Mitchell should nominate Hawthorn as his preferred club to move to. Swans to use the freed up salary cap space on Heeney, Mills and Allir.

Also 3 Giants on the move - Marchbank to the Blues; Hoskin-Elliot to the Pies; and Jack Steele to the Saints.

All that talent and Richmond nowhere to be seen.

Well done Tiges  :clapping

When we talk about keeping pick 6, I think we are forgetting Halfwit is coaching for his life next year. He will trade that pick 6 for a ready to go player to save his career and we all know that. In fact most of the management around him will be wanting it too.
Just another reason keeping him is and was I massive mistake.

No matter who we pick their career is finished due to our poor development so may as well give pick 6 away in the motlop trade,
Until we change our recruiters and list managment....blah blah blah..you have heard it all before😭😭😭😭😷😧

Good comeback Potsy - so why are you actually here? Maybe you should go help Dougey start that forum where only AFL players &  employees of clubs can post their opinions on football. Obviously you'll both act as silent partners in the venture. BTW - how well are the people we're currently paying been travelling? They must be going well seeing as they apparently know what opposition players are thinking before even asking them or their managers....

Lets hope we are into Stewart from GWS, he has nominated a Melbourne Club as his preference and we have been into him for a couple of years so fingers crossed. I would suggest Prestia and Stewart would a good trade period for the Tigers. Also very comfortable with Leppa back on the coaching panel, with Caraccella we are moving in the right direction as well.
