Paul Roos was on the Gold Coast again over the weekend watching his son play.
Think he's been up for every game so far.
Maybe we should pick up Paul's son and hope He comes with him

Should have a look at Bolton Can't break into the Richmond team should also have a look at jacob townsend been dropped a few times this year but can kick a goal and is a tackling machine


2 Very interesting players and 2 very different players with them being at different stages in their careers

* Jacob Townsend Big Inside hard bodied tough midfielder that will certainly give 100% effort and loyal as a sheep dog, Not the most talented player going around but 100% the toughest pound for pound loyal soldier and wont take crap from softies at the club - Can Guarantee he wont be asking to leave and will do exactly what the coach asks him to do. Also plays as a mid foward that crunches the oppositions loose intercept mark player and kicks goals, Very good kick for goal.

* Shai Bolton , Skill / Class / Speed has it all this kid as per the video he can stand on a ruckmans head and land on his feet and run to goal and does the most freaky things you can imagine. Hate to see him leave but has put contract talks on hold and will wait until the season ends i suppose.
Not sure of the motives as he has Ralph Carr as his manager and if going back is his reason then its to Perth but if its money then Gold Coast would be best placed as i cant see Richmond paying him overs being a 2nd year player we usually have the newbies in similar contracts

Townsend would be a good clubman and pickup for 3-4 years - Real soldier

A random one that's well too old for our age bracket but out of contract and could be enticed for a playing / future coaching role.. Bernie Vince. Has the mongrel about him we seriously lack. Has been a real leader at Melbourne, but every chance he doesn't get a contract there going forward .

We are in no shape as a club to handle someone like DeGoey. That guy would be Harley 2.0. We just can't take a risk like that.
His kicking in the second quarter is not that good either . Even Collingwood Fan want to move him forward because of that.

Thomas would be a good pick up IMO.

Looking great for the Pies.
Apparently is on a 1 year $150k deal

Proving he is a player and deserves to get paid - reminds me of Lyons situation except he is from the Coast not Melbourne

Is he gettable? Contracted until end of 2019

At least Thomas will cost us next to nothing. Plus at 20 goals so far he would be leading our goal kicking from the midfield.
Throw enough money and anyone is gettable.
Phillips is the tom mitchell of collingwoods midfield. Sits 5th or 6th in the pecking order and has proven when given a starring role can be damaging.
I wouldn't be opposed to throwing as much as 750k a year for 5 to convince him to make a move. Will be better then lyons inpact wise and provides the run and spread we are desperate for.

Don't watch him every week - I like him, don't know why we would take a Willis over him in the 50s in his draft year when he was a gun u18 player - but he's no Tom Mitchell. He's a pure outside player, very good though.

He's from Melbourne and doing well for himself at a big club so he's not coming here.

Was watching Fremantle yesterday and Cerra is looking great already.
They must be laughing away over there.
The only problem is that there is rumor he is already planning his escape back to Melbourne.

Hasn't signed the contract put in front of him at the start of the year when they extended Brayshaw.

Next time the AFL and the Union negotiate the deal the AFL need to be strong and wind back player power.
They can’t go play other sports.
If there was a disputed to the point where there was a strike and local QAFL players wore the Suns Jumper and it became a SCAB League I’d go out and support the SCAB Team with great passion until this ridiculous problem is fixed.

If GC keep pick 2 and get LDu and Weller stay in Fremantle and play ok , will GC still need to let go of pick 5 this year . Nobody know how Weller will perform at Freo if he stayed there .

Once again draft time becomes a very important part of our present and long term future (sounds familiar).
I know we will all have varied opinions and that's the way it should be .
Most likely we lose all delist anywhere from 10 to 12 players come draft time.
For me not interested in recruiting old has beens except one similar to McVeigh or Burgoyne (as potential assis coach).
Wines great fit but not possible .
Happy to chase Dalhaus Wallis both still young enough to gives us a few good years.
For me would definitely chase DeGoey and Thomas as a package both plenty to offer.
Some risk with Degoey but no where near a HB case.
Not a B Ellis fan not worth big money and some off field risk as well.
No matter which way we go must make mid field depth absolute priority with all early picks
whether through draft or trades.

I agree to all except degoey , you mention no where near HB, but do you want your culture to compromise by lowering your standard .What you going to do if he do silly stuff again , high wages , surely you won't drop him right .

I agree there is a risk , but there are lots of things we do in life which are risky changing jobs , buying a business , buying a house ,marrying the right
person( hope the wife doesn't read this) what you do is due diligence if there is a doubt walk away.
Know several Collingwood supporters who have met him on a number of occasions and reckon he has grown up a lot in the last 6 months.
A lot of people thought the same of Dusty Martin 3 years ago ,result now a super star.
He is still very young but his potential is unlimited,throw in Thomas and our improvement would be very quick.
As I stated due diligence would need to be thoroughly thought through.
Not sure there is any other young quality player who could be available.
