I like the sound of this beast, he packs a wallop, I would think !

I agree. In 2017, with Wellsy in the side we were brilliant, in 2018 the rest of the players caught up, so in 2018 & 19, a fit Wellsy playing and we could have added two premierships, Wellsy made that difference. I am disappointed we could not get more games from Wellsy, but he is the calibre...

Wellsy will get game time in the VFL to prove his fitness, and if the club thinks Wellsy can play AFL, then I want Wellsy playing AFL for the finals.

Absolutely. I, too, was keen on getting Lynch - talented forward tall timber, a potential rock for our forward line, but not at the cost of his reputed salary. I would far rather have the talent we have recruited with Lynch's salary in our coffers. It's an effing tough world footy, we can't...

Yep, no need to rush him, let him take his time, get over this properly, then start pre-season early and get him cherry ripe for next season.

Agreed. 2018 GF side with Wellsy = a Collingwood flag. 13 weeks would effectively mean out for the season, but I hope it is only 8 weeks, so Wellsy gets 4 weeks in the VFL, is fit for the finals. Fingers crossed !

Malthouse is far worse than a cantakerous git, but unfortunately he is going to keep wanking for as long as some media keep giving him airtime to wank. Wet Toast pissed him off after he did nothing in his second five years there, after not achieving as much in his first five years there than...

Murph. A downright talent, and when he gets going ... !

My thoughts exactly !

Welcome Atu ! I like the nickname R2 already !

Welcome Son of Ned ! Happy we got both Quaynor and Kelly and that we covered matching both bids without having to go into deficit in 2019.

Welcome to Collingwood, IQ !

Did you ever think otherwise TD ?

I'm all in favor of having aggressive backmen, hence why I want Collingwood to recruit May. He will run through anyone that needs running through in a Grand Final, even if he misses four weeks at the start of the following season. Nothing wrong with having aggressive forwards as well. That...

I agree. Anyone know what Langers wants ? His finals series would have added to his market value. Pay it.

We will have Wells for one more season and I am happy about that. Wells has class and ability. With him in 2017, we won 8 of the 10 games he played; we won just one game without him, and even that had to wait until the end of the season when we beat Melbum. In 2019, he will be different only...

The issue with trading for May is that Gold Coast will get a top five compensation pick as a free agent if they hold on to him for just one more year. We need him now, not next year. May is a good full back - our current full back is Dunn, out injured - plus May is a complete a-hole, will...

Throw the farm at getting May this year, whatever it takes. Next year we can get him as a free agent, but we need him now. We have Will Kelly and academy prospects available, take them, ignore the draft. Look for a gun mid to replace Pendles next year (or maybe even the year after), there is...

That's how I see it as well, West Coast lost in 2015, won in 2018. Some things might have made all the difference. Before the game, my big fear was that our defence wouldn't be able to handle both Kennedy and Darling. [Last week, we couldn't handle Riewoldt who kicked five against us.] Play...

I accept that, as a free agent, Fas can go where he wants to go, and he may not be interested in going to GC, but the club can only talk to GC and see what happens.

I like the suggestion that Wills be included in any prospective trade for May. Getting May for next season would be a plus for us, but how do we make the deal happen ? We don't have a high pick, so it would have to be pick + player (s). Wills is a big-bodied midfielder, clearly of AFL quality...

I like the fact that May is a terrific key defender and a tough c*nt, we need balls in our side, not just talent. May would get our defenders to grow steel balls onto their talent. A potentially good get.

Happy to hear that Collingwood (and Hawthorn) have apparently been told Lynch will head to Richmond. The Age article says Gold Coast are already paying Lynch more than Richmond have offered him, which implies Gold Coast can match Richmond's offer, forcing Richmond into an expensive trade. I...

That's the spirit ! Collingwood have been very quiet on what they are doing/saying. Hopefully, that means they are taking the potential recruitment of Lynch seriously. Let's see what happens !

Impressed with Josh this season, seems to have made himself into a top player and a regular best 22. Stupid mistake with drugs, but has done his penance and moved on. I thought Keeffey would be the one retained, Josh moved on, after they served their suspensions, but rapt the club saw...

Yeah, I heard, but until De Goey signs a new deal with Collingwood, anything remains possible, so that new deal is what I want to see ...

If Richmond don't have the inside running to recruit Lynch, then fine, let's see what we can do without breaking the bank to get him. $750,000 per season and a trade of two first round draft picks or one first round draft pick + one player. If GC or Lynch want more, no deal ...

If the Norf offer ($5 million over 5 years) is fair dinkum, it would be reasonable for De Goey to at least consider it. Going to Norf would mean he values money over premierships, though. Norf can give us two first round draft picks in the trade ...

The sky is the limit for Stepho, I see no reason why this kid won't win a Copeland and a Brownlow, he's that good.

Whether there may be any external offers made to De Goey isn't all that relevant if Collingwood and his management have commenced talks on an extended contract. I would love it if his new contract was for four years @ maybe $600,000 per season. Whether it will or not, I have no idea, let's just...
