They were linked with him last year weren't they?

Genuinely sad to see Tails leave, but it probably the right decision for all concerned. Wouldn't be surprised if Danger gets on the phone to him.

That is a reasonable point that you make, but his All Australian form back there was early in his career, when he had more pace than he would at the back end of his career. Also, Sloane was drafted as more a HBF type, and moved in to the midfield. I can't see us moving him back there, and I...

The length of the deal was the problem with Sloane, as it is with Laird. The money is not that important, it is that they are taking up a list spot that at the end of that contract their form does not deserve, and thus keep someone potentially more deserving of a spot on the list off of it...

Freo, I agree with you most of the time, but not on this occassion. He signed that 5 year deal at the start of the year when he was already contracted for this year. We did something similar with Sloane, and it has become a noose around our necks. I will take a fair bit of convincing that this...

I will agree with you on the second part, it would be a waste put Laird back in defence, but you are as close to the truth on the first part as one Crouch's kicks is to the chest of a team mate.

I would argue that both Laird and Sloane are better than him. You let him go because their is not enough room on the list for him along with those 2, pretty simple really. There is plenty of use for Keays up the field in a run with role, ala Robert Shirley, though maybe not as good. Yes he...

They have both been playing similar roles in the last year. The only way you keep them both is if you can offload Sloane, which is not going to happen. Either that or Laird goes back to defence, where he had been very ordinary for 18 months before going in to the middle.

If we keep him Justin Reid needs to resign. That is terrible list management. Whilst Sloane is still contracted, and after giving Laird too long we cannot keep Crouch as well. They are pretty much all the same player, with Crouch having the worst disposal of the 3. Not only that, Keays is...

What is everyone talking about? Mitch has a similar dollars per goal ratio to Cristiano Ronaldo.

So do I, but I think more clubs would want Adams too, despite his contract not running out till 2024. As much as they should be trying to shop De Goey, I am not convinced many sides would want him due to his current off-field issues, let alone his inconsistency on the field.

Taylor Adams? Contrated till 2024 may make it hard though.

If it weren't for his kicking ability he would be lucky to still be in the list. Doesn't to get to enough contests.

Shuey is not an AA midfielder and Matt Crouch is, so I tend to ignore that stat a bit. A lot of what you have said is fair enough, but Sheed is a better player than Redden. I would more compare Redden to Michael Braun, the only difference being that Redden has not played his whole career at...

I would argue that Sheed is very close to being as good as Yeo and Kelly. Kelly is a secondary midfielder as well. He enjoyed that luxury at Geelong as well behind Selwood, Dangerfield and also had Duncan to compliment him there. Very few people would consider Redden ahead of Sheed. That is no...

It was pick 44 not pick 42, to be technical. That pick 44 ended up being traded to Sydney for Jesse White, which Sydney used to draft Aliir Aliir. Collingwood used pick 6 on Matt Scharenberg. Not a draft that Collingwood fans will want to be reminded of I don't think.

Doesn’t sound like our club to say publicly that a player is close to re-signing when they know privately that is not the case. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Sweet Jesus, do you think that 5 years is a good deal for Rory Laird?

Should be one of the first re-signed. One of only a few shining lights last year.
