OK so don't crucify me for this but.. {sauce} a dude at my local who has a best mate that works in the Tigs coaching box (that much is confirmed) and, he assures me has another friend high up in the Pies coterie group reckons Steele wants to go. If not this trade period then the next.

Caveat/Disclaimer: this guy IS a Richmond supporter and also gave me a shithouse sure thing on the Guineas on the weekend so please factor that in. But he does have connections I've confirmed that much

In saying that I love Rusty and hope it's the BS I assume it is
If Steele wanted out then the chase for Rockliff suddenly seems logical and doable. However it would really cause serious questions to be asked about the culture and atmosphere at Collingwood. I hope it's not true because I am not quite sure that the club can afford another player wanting to move elsewhere. I love Steele and would lose a lot of interest in the Pies if he no longer played for us. These rumours can be very unsettling for loyal supporters.

You a bit grumpy tonight Saintly?
Yes, I must be.
I just re read the post, was a bit gruff. Oops sorry sir.

I think most clubs have players coming and going (north lately)
There are all sorts of reasons, including coaches or clashes or go home factors, money etc
I think we're not as bad as sometimes made out, can we improve, ofcourse we can.

Now I think I need a nice drink

Ofcourse it is.
I'll believe what I want to believe.
And you can do the same.

Hint hint
This is the grumpiest I've ever seen you Saintly ... and saying that is a huge credit to you on this board! Mondayitis?

edit: I didn't mean ME saying that was a huge credit to you.. I meant that you still aren;t being very grumpy really.. not on a bigfooty grumpy scale which is what I meant by being a huge credit to you

Didnt Steele just sign a long term contract last year, on less money than he could get elsewhere so he could stay at the Pies?

Wasnt it just last year?

Would be astounded if that were true given he only re-signed this year, and talked up the fact he would be at Collingwood for the next 5 years at the Copeland only a few days ago.

I reckon your mate is shit stirring you.
I hope this negates my previous post. Surely it has to be a shit stir!

No need to explain mate as long as you are ok. Enjoy your nice drink. :thumbsu:

Where is all the Rockliff talk coming from?? I think it is just another manager blurting out Collingwood to get air time interest in his client.

Can't see it happening at all, simply no currency to do that deal.

Rockliff is a very handy player, no doubt, and we can probably get him in the cap. I don't really even care that he is a douche, if he can bring that level of play. However, we will not be able to deal with Brissy on this one.

The talk of Stewart is more interesting and do-able.
