**** the dumpster. Send em to the sewage plant.
Actually, the club could see this as a way to make a shedload of money on new jumpers. If they give Sinclair #13, every parent and their kids will be down to the Westpac Centre to buy any number bar #13 faster than you can say "I'm not having my kids wear Sinclair's number on their backs!"

haha likely but not 100%

GWS have a lot of quality KPP on their list and don't need Boyd as much as they need other positions filled.

He is a bonus for them with or without Franklin.
Imo the only way they will trade pick 1 is for a key defender or an absolute gun like Pendles or joel selwood.

Is phil davis their only decent key defender?

I have watched a few of their games and don't think the KPD stocks are as bad as made out.

They generally stand up when given a 50/50 chance unfortunately GWS allow a lot of open and free flowing footy to come into the defensive 50 not a lot they can do with no pressure coming from up feild.

Mohr is handy.
Bruce is solid.
Davis is good.
2012 draft pick 3 KPD waiting too.

Tomlinson is one they should try back too if needed.

I got an email from Collingwood Football Club this arvo saying they have changed the name of "thommos 13 junior memberships" to Magpie stars package so you choose whatever player you wish.

Surely this jeans they know he is leaving the club!!

Who knows what the hell is going on - thought that we may have heard something by now, one way or the other but .....

Given the Buddy blindside, maybe he's waiting for other potential suitors to come out of the woodwork so he can blindside the entire footy world by going somewhere completely unexpected.

Fwiw I know someone who is mates with swan and daisy and is involved in racing with them. He doesnt give anything away, but hinted recently that buddy wasn't going to GWS- hence me thinking that daisy or swan may have told him of this and the potential for negotiations involving hawks and gws.

Or they don't know if he's leaving yet and have already begun finalising the membership system and feel it would be smarter to restructure the thing than be stuck with his name on it if he's gone in two weeks. Or they actually think it's an improved way of doing it where kids can pick a player and would have used this idea anyway. Or they're doing it because he's leaving. Point is to suggest that this is a definite sign either way is incorrect imo.

The longer this takes the more i think hes staying surely. Not sure how to explain that! He would have said his nominated club as soon as the pies season ended if he was leaving

Why?

Franklin hasn't given us a preferred club, news only broke because GWS took their offer off the table.

Rather than sign with us he's fielding offers from everyone else, if he wanted to stay with us we'd have heard it by now. He's not like Toovey where we weren't sure if we had the cap space for he and MacAffer. We've given him our offer and it's not enough for him.

our season ended weeks ago , not just this week. I wasnt confident whilst our season was still going.

Just leave already stop teasing the supporters who still are desperate for you to stay

I will be shattered if he stays much rather Heater stay
I want him to leave because I think his ankles are in a shocking place and getting pick #11 for him is a great outcome for us.
