It is kind of vague though....the club using the words "return to his home state".
Followed up by "continued contact".

Normally on a situation like this, it would be pretty black and white that a player has requested a trade.

Hmmm.....Hopefully we get something out of Derek Hine tomorrow.

First of all, would Freo or WCE be interested in him or are we trading him to a WAFL club?

I suppose the benefit for us will be is he ends up at WCE or Freo, we can could on him turning it over to us. About time we got a break.

Maybe a little 'hawthorn-mitchell' situation here. We plant him in a WA club and he keeps kicking it to us.

A masterstroke if you ask me. Well done to Bucks and Hine. They know exactly what they're doing. Unfortunately for Thatsgold, he wasn't kept in the loop. Mate, you need to read between the lines for the full story.

I saw that post you just deleted abusing THATSGOLD, I reckon I know who should be banned.
It was fair enough to, In a situation like this when someone isn't well and all someone can think about is using it to take a pot shot at someone else is pathetic.

So is trolling but opposition supporters never get banned on here for that.
Have you reported the post if you're certain it was a troll? Anyway back on topic I wonder where that leaves CFC's info from earlier today on Goldsack.

It leaves him in an awkward spot if he leaves and sites opportunity now with his main competitor gone.

FWIW I don't think this hurts as much as some are thinking given Marsh was more a hybrid defender than KPD.

Not good, Marsh has shown some very good attributes this year. Raw but can be a very good defender in the future. I thought he was staying for sure with him showing his gratefulness of Collingwood VFL coaches or whatever.
I never rated the guy. Tried to like him, however, has no footy sense, always looks lost on the field and his disposal is terrible. We don't need these types of players. The club is better than that and needs to focus on quality users of the ball and kids who can read the game.

lol I'm confused and there seems to be mixed messages.

Is he seeking a trade permanently or is he just going home on leave for personal reasons?

I was hopeful. Great closing speed & agility, decent to good overhead mark. Positional play needed work and disposal needed a lot of tidying up. No doubt really poor turnovers in the back half really killed us in a number of games this year, so if it means better kicks play, so be it.

He is unfortunately. Have a look at the collingwood website before you actually click in to the article. Says he's requesting a trade for personal reasons
Its more fortunate that he is than isn't for 2 reasons:
1. Probably home sick rather than something worse
2. We actually get something in return rather than him just retire
