This isn’t the time to be holding out for a godfather offer. Just resign and the rewards will come. He should be talking to Dusty.
Freo are going hard after him.
But i can't see him playing ever under a coach like longmire.
He is very inspiring.
He had his best kid tagging a week ago, not sure he knows what he is doing.

Just like Brando it never sits well with me players taking the money and running after been a small part of Premierships , ffs there’s no way certain players would get anywhere near the money if they weren’t lucky enough to be at the RFC , if it’s good enough for Skip, Rance, Jack, Dusty , Shedda, Tigga , Grimes and Houli to take less to repay what the club has given them, then it’s good enough for anyone else on the list.

I know plenty totally disagree with me , no issue with that , that’s the way I feel and won’t ever change that thinking, call it all school loyalty or giving back to those that stood by you, whatever the reason that’s how I see it .

Shai hasn’t left yet btw, but if he does :mad: :rotfl2;)

More proof that the footy media have NFI. ESPN has just released its mid year AA team.

Not one RFC player. Tippa selected ahead of Shai :rotfl2 :rotfl2

But even funnier is that they have made "huge" apologies for the players that missed out. No apology for Shai or Dusty but, wait for it, an apology to Josh *smile* Bruce :rotfl2:rotfl2Funnily enough no apology to Jack R who last week took mark of the year and is one behind the legendary Josh Bruce in the Coleman race :rolleyes:

That standard of footy journalism has never been worse.
Agenda driven contrived garbage.

Just like all news media these days.

I love loyalty but I have no issue with Ellis leaving - it appears the difference b/n what rfc offered and what Gold Coast did offer was life changing. While we like to think it is just about footy, it’s these guys careers

Two time premiership player.
He might think it’s time cash in.

Fair enough too.
But if that is case i would want Cerra and their first rounder
Or Howlong with their first rounder.
I can't see Bolton leaving

If he helps win himself a third flag & then leaves giving us heap of first round picks then not the end of the world.

Nah we need to get him to 100 games. Particularly if it's serious between him and Quinton Narkle's sister.

Speaking of Narkle I wouldn’t be surprised if we have an interest in him.
I just mentioned Quinton Narkle in the Mab's thread.
I were keen on him when there were rumors he might be coming to Richmond and is great mates with Shai, (there was that video of them training together in off-season).
Joined Ralph Carr stable post last season and unsurprisingly playing his best football now and in no rush to put pen to paper ;)

I'd take him for cheap.

would be a much better Richmond player than Geelong player.
