Finlayson for three years while they've got Cameron, Riccardi and Himmelberg? That's interesting.
Recommitted Jeremy Finlayson [Signed until 2023]

GWS should play him in the ruck. Hit-outs are an incredibly overrated aspect of the game and it is much more important someone can get around the ground. Finlayson is a good kick and more mobile compared to Jacobs and Mumford and should be their number one ruck until Briggs is ready.

I would have much preferred Finlayson over Cameron. This is disappointing news.
Though Wizard has made it a little better.

How is he average? Kicked 44 goals last year in his first year as a fwd, has kicked a goal in every game this year whilst playing back up ruck. Imagine this guy playing second fiddle to Hawkins, he would average 3 goals a game.

How did GWS even end up in this situation? All these draft picks and pre-selections.
Now they have mediocre key position stocks both down back and up forward, and their only good KPF (Cameron) still hasn't signed this late into the season?
Even their prized midfield group has been losing clearances week in week out. Let's not even talk about their ruck scenario? I honestly believe an amateur recruiter could've done better by just picking the most orthodox and obvious players with how much drafting resources they have been given.

We are just praying our bookends reach the dizzying heights of Mason Cox and Lyndon Dunn. Please pray for us.

ridiculous comment
bullshit
We have had some shockers this year but I find it hilarious you judge this on talent and club rather than the ****ed up year it’s been.
Blame sos, we could of drafted the best ruck in the league but he ignored all the coaches.

Well it's Lynden Dunn first of all... And also he has played 2 games in 2 seasons, so he's obviously not in our best 22 lol...
Even then, I'd still take Roughead - Moore - Mihocek - Cox over your key position stock, as bad as Mihocek and Cox are... Speaks even greater volume when you consider our KPP list is garbage and still better than yours despite having endless opportunities over the years.

Well Grundy is not the best ruck in the league, I'd actually have him around 3rd at the moment. But you kind of already made my arguments for me lol, SOS's drafting I don't know how any semi-respected recruiter could've done worse.
Obviously club development is a factor too, but just looking at the previous drafts somehow most of the good talent have just gone around ur picks (before or after). And even when you guys clearly need a KPD and a ruck, GWS just kept drafting more and more inside mids over and over again.----

Always wise to sign up the 1-disposal GF expert.

Well, unfortunately all the umpires were already signed to the Bulldogs.

He's very average drops his head far too much when things don't go his way.

So he shows emotion, big deal, they're not all robots.

There's a difference between showing emotion and your effort level fluctuating downwards because of emotion. Jeremy has that problem and A graders don't.

That's really over-rating your KPP stocks. I know Finlayson's consistency is a problem but all four of him, Cameron, Himmelberg and Riccardi would be your best forward and the KPD stocks are pretty even. Davis and Taylor are good players.

You're allowed to quote me you know.
We had to take what we could get with the umpires, you guys already bought out the draft table for ten straight years.
Didn't take you anywhere though. Poor investment.

Fair play folks.
I was told my “news” about three weeks ago so obviously things have changed or someone is full of s**t.

Finlayson isnt mediocre. He would be Collingwood's best forward.
Option 2. Players dont say they are gone then change their mind 3 weeks later.

I’m going with option 2.
No way he would of gotten to the stage where he has told the players and then back flipped.
