Reports this morning that Lennon is on the move.  Clearly his manager countering the HS article in today's paper.  Fairly clear both parties are a fair distance apart still

pee him off then seriously. He should take note of how we managed Dusty when he got greedy.

This kid isn't even worth $300k yet. I'd be offering him $400-500k for two years max. He's shown a bit, that's all.

If somebody else wants to pay him $400k/year we should make that their problem. Could maybe trade up the draft. Lennon + round 1 + round 2 pick for Yarran and Carlton's round 1 pick.

Reports coming from our dear friends at SEN it seems

Can I just add, that Jon Ralph who reported last night and it's in today's HUN that the signature is close has very good sources inside Tigerland...bit like Robbo has at Essendon

Just have to say I love this time of year. And so far 2015 has been a ripper

reports from who?? andy maher on morning glory?

Richmonds official social media page on facebook just put a video featuring Lennon up. Telling?

Pretty sure from memory, WP said at the time that Matty White didn't want to leave Richmond which was true. It was the Club that was wrongly claiming Whitey wanted to go. As is fairly well known now, the Club only offered him a one-year deal on less money compared to Port's 3-years and so pragmatically Whitey took the far better and secure offer.

This^

Thank you

So will repeat on the Matt White issue, my posts were not opinions, they were facts.

I more remember WP claiming he'll be a one club player, loves the club and doesn't want to play for any other club.

"More opportunity", really, how about as a second year player you earn it.

He did say that. You are making an incorrect deduction.  You would be correct if the club did not offer him anything.  They offered him a contract but were not wanting to go as far as Port. Matt made the decision to leave. Richmond didn't trade or delist him. I am happy for him too.
Just because someone says they want to be a one club player doesn't mean they hold themselves to that statement. He had a better offer and left. Doesn't mean he never made the statement though.....

Not sure what is wrong, but your posts lately are making a lot of sense

Maybe to the crowd at a Richmond function, but he was always open to offers from other clubs. He would be stupid not to be. It has nothing to do with whether the club offered him something or not.
Despite your attempt at an argument, that last line is pretty much agreeing with the crux of my argument. There is no "end of story" until the deal is done.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

It obviously means a lot if the club didn't offer him anything.  If that happened he could never be a one club player unless he never played again. So since the club offered him a contract,  he at least had the chance to be a one club player if he wished. Not ever saying that he should have stayed though as Matty needed to look after his own interests.  Something that many supporters often choose to ignore.

ESSENDON midfielder Jake Melksham has told the club he wants to be traded to another club.

Melksham, a former top-10 draft selection, has played 114 games over six seasons at the Bombers but he declined to sign a new two-year deal offered by the club.

Well, Lids wants Hartley to get a move on and sign a gun.

“I’m always interested,” Deledio said on Fox Footy’s ‘AFL 360’ program.

“Early on in my career, I probably wasn’t as much . . . you’re more worried about yourself, I think.  But now, I’m all about us winning and getting better.

“I’m constantly on the phone to Dan Richardson and to Blair Hartley, about finding out what’s going on.

“But, as you can understand, they’ve got to play their cards pretty close to their chest and keep a lot of things under wraps.

“So, I’m a bit like everyone else, I’m sort of in the dark and just waiting to hear what happens.”
