HOW SURE ON TOM LYNCH TO RICHMOND?SAM EDMUND SAYS:“(I’m) at least 90 per cent sure. I think you can be as sure as you can be without taking it all the way to the bank, if you like. I think he’s there, and I think every other club knows that to be the case. This isn’t a six-month operation, by any stretch, they’ve been into Tom Lynch for the best part of two years. Before it even made headlines, before it even made newspapers and TV stations around the place. They’ve been grooming him (to come to Richmond).“We know all know that his sister now plays there, in the VFLW. We know that with all those big names — Cotchin, Martin, Rance, Riewoldt — they’ve all front-ended (their deals), they’ve all signed, they’ve all taken little haircuts. All the planning is in place, ready for the big T. Lynch to slot into the forward line.”https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/tom-lynch-almost-certain-to-get-to-richmond-but-what-next-for-brendon-goddard/news-story/934166b6146f283e11282d884e9db391
It is my understanding GC continue to confirm they intend to match a $1m a year contract. Tigs have been told this again yesterday as were we. We also know we can sufficiently front end a contract that will be beyond their range therefore eliminating that tactic . We are the only one of the three competing clubs who have that capability. TL management has also told alll three clubs they are not interested in dragging through a pre season draft scenario. They have also told all three clubs they will not accept existing players being cleared to make necessary room to front end.The HFC can satisfy all these issues.I understand he remains our main focus until he tells us otherwise. The good thing is we are well prepared for multiple outcomes despite what some of our so called supporters on this forum talk crap about. This is an excellent point. I asked a similar question and we believe based on “intel we get around this stuff” we have advantage the Tigs have conceded we have and are genuinely concerned. They have no doubt attempted to improve their position, but they have got to keep a position that does not constrain them in a very tight TPP for the next three years. In other words over investing in one player. Remember Conors has other Tigs clients. https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/will-the-hawks-end-up-landing-a-big-fish-trade-and-fa-news-discussion.1187847/page-299#post-57513764
It’s a done deal; all parties have ticked off on in incl GC. There’s no spanner in the works.The notion that they match anything up to a mill is laughable. So, what if we offer a million and 1 for Lynch?Won’t affect their compo pick. Just

Just The AFL would make sure the Suns got a 1st round compo even if we weren't paying him at all.
SEN yesterday reported that it’s a done deal - Lynch to Richmond for 6 years @ 5.5 million.
FJ is the only one that makes sense.
