Dempsey has signed for another year at Essendon, so thankfully we can scrub him from our conversations.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Has Spencer White shown anything at VFL level? I fear he is all potential and that's where it ends.

I don't think he's done much. I want to swing for the fences though. Whatever Hine reckons is fine by me.

 

[Crazy Tails]

I know that Harvey is a relation of Rendell and we do have a need for a bit more depth at KPF but has there been anything tangible linking him to us?

 

[doodles98]

Don't want any of these guys. We should just let Hine do his thing and bring in some late draft and rookie winners.

 

[speedytiger]

Don't want any either, but if we had to take one it'd be Grant.

 

[76woodenspooners]

If we were specifically targeting a DFA, wouldn't we have picked them up in the trade period with a junk pick?

Like GWS did with Steve Johnson? Or we did with Jorden Russell? Or Bulldogs did with Tom Young?

And there's the reason I'll take a break on membership.
Not paying for these two to be within 100 kms of the club.
Hoping others send the same message.

Im buying a membership this year for the first time since 2008.

no the opposite actually. the names of both Shaw and Harvey from port were raised on EB+W and pretty sure scout dismissed them both.

That's good enough for me if Scout has said that. I'll stop thinking about Harvey then.

Unless it is Grant who was delisted after the trade period.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Andrew Moore has officially been delisted by Port. Former top 10 pick. Could be OK for depth as a free hit but I expect him to land at Tigers due to his previous family connection there.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Hawthorn delists Sam Grimley. Would be perfect at Collingwood, especially if we want to hold back Darcy Moore this season while he develops his body. I would sign him for sure. Won the VFL goalkicking last season.

Given how late into the trade period Treloar and Aish went possibly not. Had Aish and Treloar been sorted out earlier we probably would have a look at the DFAs and bring them in for a junk pick. But given they were sorted in the last 21 hours of the period, we probably didn't have time to do our due diligence on what was there in the trash and treasure market.

The first DFA period closes the day our 1st to 4 years are due back to training, so there isn't really a big advantage in doing it in trade period other than the good will and having it sorted ahead of time.

On the DFAs though, given we were loosely linked to Moore prior to the trade period is he worth a look as a DFA?

The Age is suggesting Moore will be picked up by Richmond

We know how that's gonna end up. He'll decide to come to Collingwood at the last minute.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I still think Pears should be a target. He's only 25 for gods sake. I think he could blossom out our club and fulfill the potential he showed so much of in his first couple of years at the Bombers.

That is disappointing to hear. I would also prefer that we do not rookie Thomas and Keefe but it won't stop me renewing my membership. Hope you change your mind because it is going to be an exciting season.

 

[jmac70]

Adcock by far the best of he options available. Proven leader, beautiful kick of the footy, versatile. He'll accelerate the development of those in the VFL squad and be able to fill-in in multiple roles in the seniors at short notice.

I also think we should re-select Sam Dwyer. He's another beautiful user of the footy and perfect depth player. I think we cut him prematurely and given how far our draft picks have slid (other than our one 2nd rounder) he's more useful than anything that we'll find at the back end of the draft. Besides, we have more than enough youth in development already.

I was surprised at Dwyer's delisting. They must have something in mind because he seems to be the perfect back up player.

 

[Maggie5]

No, you can just sign them during any of the three "signing windows". First one opens on the 31st and shuts close of business the following Monday.

Can you put a little bat in the corner? Miss it.

 

[Pie eyed]

I believe it is this year. We rookie them & they sit on our list for a year. Then consider to upgrade in 2017 subject to their fitness, attitude & our list needs for 2017.
No promises beyond next year I assume.
It's a big call by the club.

Saints gunna delist the snowman?

 

[Pie eyed]

Well over the years we have lost Wood, Dick and Cox

Sidebottom can rest easy now.

 

[PieLebo87]

Grimley or Brown should be options as rookies. We need that KP depth.

Moore will definitely get rookied by someone.

 

[Green Eggs]

Adcock would add some leadership into our young back line and really help develop the likes of Langdon, Williams, 'Berg etc. stiff to be cut and at absolute worst would help develop the kids in the VFL. Pears is also a likely prospect who would add to our list.

 

[Kirby]

A tick for picking up Mitch Brown from me.

 

[si tacuisses]

We know how that's gonna end up. He'll decided to come to Collingwood at the last minute.

We'll know he's coming to us when KB claims him for the Tiges.
