Yes, great minds think alike. I thought the same. Because if Cogs has decided to stay, GWS can't accomodate another contract for Deledio, forcing his retirement.
Ellis as a free agent should be a no brainier. We have the cash and he's a premiership player. Not the best in the league but he's in the right age bracket for us and provides great run and experience.
Grundy on the other hand would be PERFECT. Arguably the best best ruck and possibly the best player in the game. Would cost a fortune but worth every penny.
Add Coniglio and we're laughing.
All that's left is a quality small forward.

From the sounds of it, a lot of deals are done months/year before it happens.
Yeah, there’s no way Grundy is gettable, the likelihood is so close to zero that you could call it zero. When was the last time a top 10 player in the AFL switched between Melbourne clubs? Especially away from a powerhouse club like the pies whilst they are in a premiership window.We need a couple of developed body mids who can run and fill in some of the between the arc holes that appear because the kids are only about 3/4 AFL ready ( Russell has alluded to the lack of proper fitness and time required to get there) - your point on need to cover for Kreuzer has always been well made - a pity Phillips doesn't have the tank to go 4 quarters and like Kreuzer is injury prone...
Lets get serious though : no way collingwood can be stupid enough to let Grundy go- he makes up for some softness in their midfield and is a younger more mobile version of Kreuzer - SOS gets him and it would be a bigger get (in my mind) than Coninglio - get Coniglio AND Grundy? with a decent run of injury - finals for sure - cream on the cake would be a 'real' small forward.
SOS has put together a pile of money and spread the future requirement of salary upgrades very well - so yeah probably in a position to attract some talent - hence clearing air and appointing Teague ahead of schedule makes sense - to provide clarity to target(s).
I hope you are right and we score the two mids we definitely need - if we get Grundy I owe you a bottle of whatever you fancy.
He’s a fantastic player and would be an amasing get, the price of getting him would be astronomical imo. Free agent next year though, he’ll be getting some huge offers and Collingwood will need to make sure they have cap space (I’m sure they will).
Coniglio really would slot in with this team. I can see it.
I never had this feeling with Dylan Shiel. Missing out on Shiel was meh.
I don't feel that way with Cogs. Missing out on Cog would really hurt.
Stars are aligning.

LOL how many bottles did anyone ever see Juddy put in the recycling bin?
Ambassadorial status is pure fiction. Even worse when it's the AFL doing it.
Prefer LOB’s left foot over Ellis gaining a few more possessions.

You're right there - missed a couple last season.
Point still stands though, Ellis represents immediate impact where LOB is still in the potential/development part of his career.
Ellis certainly isn't high on my list - I think there are better quality and/or value options around. But I don't see a fundamental issue with bringing in a player of his type just because we have kids who can play the role half as effectively, but may get to/past his level down the track.
Improve the starting side, let the talented kids earn their spots as they're able. And if they're not able, then we're not suffering while waiting to find out.
No, but can confirm that he said that Ambassador means kickback in AFL.
No audio though. He's too slippery for that.

I think it's less about the individual taking on too much responsibility, and more that the club let them. We've seen it at other clubs too.
It certainly looks as though the club is much better organised on an administrative level than in the past, which leads me to believe we'll ensure the various departments are well managed, with limited overlap.
Definitely curious to see what assistant coaching appointments we make in the coming weeks.

If we're making random cause/effect assumptions - Coniglio leaving dramatically reduces GWS' chances of a flag next season, so maybe he's told the club he's going and Deledio has decided there's no flag to hold out for next year.
Occam's razor - Deledio has managed 31 games in three seasons with the giants. Most likely scenario is he's come to the conclusion his body won't last another season.

NO you report it and let the Mods take care of it.
That's what the report function is for!
No change.
Delidio was never playing on.
His body was shot years ago.
Hawk posters were stating that they were getting Dylan Shiel as well.
This time, we should get our man.

Note. If someone is willing to do the hard yards, I clearly recall a credible Carlton poster last year stating that we were strongly chasing rabbit.
We have likely been chasing Cogs for years.
Talk this year reminds me of Tom Lynch last year. Was always going to Richmond, but Hawks were often sprouting they were in the window (which they were not).
Cogs next to Crippa really works.
Crippa >>>>>>>> Tom Mitchell.

Happy to add Coniglio and Ellis as FAs. Of course im keen to send our adelaide pick somewhere for a Papley/Martin type but would be still very happy to take it to the draft if we got the FAs.
Next year is looking good. But its 2021 when it looks great IMO. Lets grab grundy as a FA then
