As for his partner it is an individual sport with very little funding so if he is offered a significantly better deal they move.
Was involved in Athletics for years and outside off perhaps her coach being in NSW there is in reason why she could not relocate with very little impact upon her aspirations. Our number one female high jumper trains by herself in Leongatha so it can be done.
24 year old women are still like teenagers.
She needs all of her girlfriends around, as well as being close to Mummy.
No way is she pulling up stumps in Sydney to start a new life in Melbourne.
Can't put a price on the support network.
Bit of a generalisation, heaps of young athletes that I have been involved in are now in college in the states far away from their support networks.
Depends on the individual I reckon.
A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

Tell me again how we're getting Tomlinson?
Nyah Nyah Nyah
2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn
Don't recall ever saying we would get Tomlinson only commented about his girlfriends impact on any decision.
We are not getting him as he is contracted and GWS have said they will not trade him, which was always the most likely scenario. Plus the fact Ameet said we had not tabled a five year contract for him so it was unlikely.
From what looks like it played out no need for any impact or consultation worth his girlfriend as he is contracted and required.
Either way not all 24 year old women need to be near their mum, reckon that is a really poor and general comment to make.

Agree junior. Sounds like more projection.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.

Yep, I would take Billy
This is a joke right? Absolute dud. Jack Lonie is better than Hartung.
Must be a joke surely.
Hawks who are short of young mids with speed want to trade one out, I wonder why?
They're preparing to trade in Jarman Impey, Billy is out of contract, so I assume uncontracted players are in the firing line when it comes to making room on your club's list?
Billy is quick, but he's not the greatest kick. It's a no from me. We need elite kicks more than anything.
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

He said we had made an offer for Tomlinson. Was that not true?
No.
We evidently made some initial enquiries.
We never tabled a firm offer as the idiot stated
Somebody can go house-hunting during 'home-opens' and ask the agents what ball-park price it might sell for, then ask how much council rates are, etc...
That's purely askin the questions..
Actually sitting down and talking $$ is what Purple says we did.
Effin Purple is a Bell-End

Good comparison, play in totally different positions.
