If Wellingham chooses West Coast, I can't see Koby Stevens coming to Collingwood.
Even if West Coast package him with their first round pick, he is not going to want to compete for a midfield spot against Swan, Pendles, Beams, Ball, Thomas, Sidebottom.

Pick 17 might be the best we can get from West Coast unless we get a 3rd team involved.

Sharrod's manager on TWR at the minute.

Says he won't play for another Melbourne based club.

If he is gone, it will be to WA, not a Melbourne for example.
 
Wellingham's manager just said if he stays in Melbourne it will be with the Pies. He'll only leave if he decides to move back to WA. He has met with WCE and Freo iver the last few days.

Hutchy also just said that Rivers to Geelong was almost all said and done...but Collingwood has just had a "nibble"

(edit) Sorry NT - you just beat me

Could that be why Lynch Offer has not been Put In?
 
I don't like the sound of Wellingham meeting with two clubs to decide where he should go. Mate, if you want to go home, we decide on who gives us the best deal, not you. Can see this being a bit disappointing for us.

Yeah true. Not saying I want this to happen but I meant this could possibly happen.

Maybe Jolly as first ruckman and Giles as the back up.

Then the 2 Key Forwards are Cloke and Lynch?.... Dawes may miss out....

Only throwing this out there
Was going to say the same thing re: Dawes. Could only see this happening if we gave him the arse.
 
Jokes aside, could be why we haven't officially lodged for Lynch... possibly waiting on Giles?

We need a 2nd ruck, no two ways about it, so you'd think Lynch is a certainty given we don't lose any picks. But Jolly is also gone in two years so we also need a 1st ruck.

In other words, we need both a Lynch and a Giles. The question then becomes how do we pay 300k or so to land each? Collingwood has had a deal on the table for 3 months for Wellingham and nothing has changed. That would certainly get the cap aspect sorted I would think and a WC pick would be pretty close to getting Giles.
