Is Noble on the rookie or senior list? Either way he’s done more than enough for another contract
Well I can’t see Murray, Wills and Madgen getting delisted now. Looks like Crocker and Broomhead will be the only ones to get the chop.
With Goldsack and Wells retiring that is 3 off the senior and 1 off the rookie list. I guess Varcoe may be super unlucky here to help have some list turnover
correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is Madgen can be kept as a category B rookie for one more year so there is no benefit of not keeping himMurry will get at least a Year on the Rookie list like Keeffe and Thomas was given.
No way in Hell Wills goes now after his Big Game in the QF.
Not a Huge Fan of Madgen Staying. Rather Keep Broomhead.
Crocker should of gone last season but he had a Contract still
When you look at the team on the park, only Pendles is over 30 and he is still an AA.
Dunn and Wells in particular really push the average age up. Goldsack has already retired. Varcoe may follow with Dunn and Wells. Once those guys are gone, the average age drops significantly.
The Pies have some developing talls in the VFL. Kelly should come on barring injury next year. The Irish KPP will take some time.
Maybe we can look for the next Mihocek while these kids are developing unless some kid pops from the draft.
Talking last year Dude maybe if we took Finlayson for a bag of chips we could be premiers this year.After last years poor trading of a mid on 4 years taking up our cap when we could of got Finlayson for a bag of chips.
this year we need to do something BOLD go all out for Crow forward Darcy Fogarty.
trade up Sidebottom, Shaz, JT & Aish before they are worthless like Cloke, Nathan Brown & Forsolo.
We need to get some extra picks for the 2020 draft. This year we only need to draft 2 as we can bring up 4- 6 from our Rookie list.
Yeah nah, you can have Jenkins if you like.After last years poor trading of a mid on 4 years taking up our cap when we could of got Finlayson for a bag of chips.

Think the more pertinent issue is not so much Collingwood's trades but why they keep failing to land the big fish out of contract/free agent player like Judd or Tom Lynch ??
From the sounds of it, The Pies attempts at wooing Tom Lynch were pretty poor compared to Richmond's stick pitch.
Treloar and Adams etc were decent gets, but hardly massive coups you would expect a club with the wealth and prestige of Collingwood to aim for. I think Eddie and the Pies board need to try be more ruthless/ambition if they want that elusive 16th flag.
Fogarty wasn’t born in adelaide, he’s a country SA boy.Does Fogarty want to leave Adelaide? He was born there.. why would he want to come here?
And secondly... that's a paradox if I've ever seen one. We get Finlayson.. and Finlayson is never in that ruck contest, never pushes Grundy and Collingwood wins the final by a goal?
But maybe Finlayson pushes Mumford out of the ruck... FREE KICK to Mumford and no Pies goal... and the result is the same.
You need to invent a time machine so we can find out which reality is better.
2004 was a doozy.
OUT: pick 7, Bo Nixon
IN: pick 10, pick 37
OUT: pick 37
IN: Chad Morrison
Pick 7 - Jordan Lewis
Pick 10 - Chris Egan
Pick 37 - Mark LeCras
Not sure what Collingwood and Richmond were smoking in 2000.
OUT: pick 3, Clinton King
IN: pick 7, Steve McKee
Collingwood with picks 1 and 3 turned that into Josh Fraser and Danny Roach. Richmond upgraded pick 7 to 3 and then turned it into Aaron Fiora. McKee was a good solider for a few years but meanwhile Pavlich went at 4, Joel Corey at 8, McPharlin at 10 and Glass at 11.
It's swings and roundabouts though. By 2006 Collingwood shipped Tarrant off to Freo and got more out of Paul Medhurst coming back while getting Ben Reid and Nathan Brown in the first round who were the premiership CHB and FB. Richmond joined in again and for their part turned one pick into Graham Polak for a few years and Jack Riewoldt. AFAIC Collingwood's best off season was 2009. Traded in Jolly from Sydney (gave up pick 14 for a 28 year old) and then ended up taking Luke Ball via the draft. Both filled areas of need that took them from around the mark to a genuine flag threat and eventual premier.
Fogarty wasn’t born in adelaide, he’s a country SA boy.
Didn't the Pies do a draft pick switch with West Coast that saw them get Sheed? Perhaps while your in the time machine sort that one out too please.Does Fogarty want to leave Adelaide? He was born there.. why would he want to come here?
And secondly... that's a paradox if I've ever seen one. We get Finlayson.. and Finlayson is never in that ruck contest, never pushes Grundy and Collingwood wins the final by a goal?

Yes, country SA. Lucindale is nearly the same distance to Adelaide as it is Melbourne iirc.Fogarty is from Lucindale as was Carlton’s Andy McKay.
