Wonder if he’ll announce his decision...

Be hilarious if he does and says his reason for choosing us was our list, culture and premiership credentials. Would have the whole Club and our supporter base pumped up going into Friday night as well as sticking it up Treloar and Collingwood .

I've heard though that he won't (or even can't) announce it until the free agency period opens in October.

Even if he could announce it

Reckon he's got a little bit more class than that.... doesn't seem the type that would take the focus away from his new club when they are challenging for a Flag

If anyone’s listening could they summarise for me when it’s done?

wouldnt announce out of respect for the clubs involved

Can he just name the clubs that he's not going to?

His management have told Collingwood and Hawthorn he’s not interested, which is why it’s a fate accompli (pending GC don’t pull some last minute poo)

Lynch would still be a Sun if club had success

TOM LYNCH has declined to reveal his new club, but manager Paul Connors insists the free agent forward would still be at Gold Coast if the Suns were a successful club.

Speaking at the launch of NAB AFL Trade Radio on Wednesday morning, Lynch was still tight-lipped about whether he would sign with Richmond, Collingwood or Hawthorn for next season and beyond.

"Out of respect to the clubs I've spoken to and to Gold Coast, I can't say who I'm leaning towards at this stage," Lynch said.

"I'd rather tell them officially than broadcast it here.

"There's still quite a few weeks to go until we get to trade and free agency period."

Lynch is widely expected to choose Richmond as his destination.

He said he was excited to get back to his home town, but conceded he and his management "could have done things better" during the free agency process.

Once the 25-year-old headed to Melbourne for season-ending knee surgery in July, Gold Coast asked him to consider his future and let them know as soon as possible.

Shortly afterwards Nathan Buckley revealed publicly that he and Lynch had spoken, drawing an angry reaction from the Suns.

Lynch returned to Queensland to inform the club and his teammates he would not be playing for them next season.

"I felt like my time to leave Gold Coast had come," he said.

"I've got a lot of great friends there and they'll definitely remain intact. There's no worries from my end."

Connors agreed some 'tiny' things could have been handled better during negotiations, but declared, "If Gold Coast play finals, he's captain of that club for 10 years."

“The biggest decision to make firstly was whether I wanted to leave the Gold Coast and that was a really tough decision.

“It’s been eight years up there.

“The club pushed us really hard for a decision, so I went away and got surgery, came down, had a big think about it.

“The other decision has taken a lot longer and I sit here comfortable but it’s not all done at this stage.”

Lynch on Rance comments: "Rance was speaking on behalf of the playing group. He was honest in what he thought."

Connors on Lynch: "We weren't canvasing. Clubs were asking us. I was proud of how Tom (has) handled it."

Connors: "Gold Coast & Tom have a wonderful relationship. There's just a couple of 'nitty gritties' they could have done better."

Lynch on the Suns: "In time, they will become a good club and they will be playing finals."

Lynch: "I've got a lot of great friends there (at Gold Coast) and that will definitely stay intact."

Q. So did the meeting with Nathan Buckley (and the fallout) hurt Collingwood's chances?

Lynch: "No, I've already made up my mind....."


So he couldn't care less about the Pies lol.
