Tom with his manager:
* Tom said he's looking forward to joining the Tigers. Glad to talk about it now that it's out in the open.
* Tough day to come in to tell his mates at the Suns that he loves them and they'd been through a lot together. But the right time to come back to Melbourne.
* Manager said if the Suns were playing finals he'll still be there. He leaves them in a good place with 3 good people as leaders. However, it was the right time for Tom to leave and come back to Melbourne.
* Tom said he decided on Richmond 3-4 weeks ago. Long decision first to decide to leave the Suns then a thoughtful process to pick the right club and let Gold Coast know he wants to become a Tiger.
* 3 great clubs were interested. No wrong decision. Richmond the best fit. Great to play alongside Jack Riewoldt and learn off him.
* His manager said they are confident Gold Coast won't match and it'll be a smooth process.
* Lynch has had one text from Jack at the end of the season. Looking forward to getting to know all the boys.
* Dimma told him Richmond will suit him as the Tigers needed a second tall forward.
* Didn't want to get too excited until it's official next week.
* Richmond won the premiership last year and made a Prelim this year. It'll be nice to hopefully play finals next year - I've never played finals before. It's not just about next year but the years to come.
* He should be running in a month. Confident he'll be right for the JLT series and round 1 next year.
