So you see no benefit having the capacity to select a draftee in the 3rd or 4th round of the draft ahead of a later rookie list pick... strange.

Just how many clubs do you think will be queuing up to snavel Dunny if we opt to drop him down to the rookie list? Schade aside, I can't think of too many instances where that's happened.

Not sure how ensuring he has another year at the club in anyway tarnishes his "esteem".
Not quite what I said but to clarify.

I have no issue drafting more players if it’s viewed the way to go.
Equally if it is viewed that way I’d be stunned if the shears wouldn’t cut out more than enough players.

Re the big dunny, you are probably correct and no club would snag him
But for him it would be a risk not close to worth it.

My main point which you’ve touched on re esteem to him.
I think quite strongly for a player like him it would be a dreadful way to treat him. And not called for in my view.

I’m all for being ruthless but not with the people you really want and need.

Simple to me, do I want Dunn next season? Absolutely without equivocation.
Hence no dice the rookie idea.


The club can knock itself out with doing such things to Oxley, Blair, Smith, Kirby even.

The fact that rookies still only get an assurance of 1 year contracts as opposed to the mandatory 2 for draftees might still be a factor. There'll also always be Cat B rookies to consider. I'm not sure why people see it as an issue.
Cat B will l stay, just the name and the draft will in the end go, and they can get around the contract side of things

Piss Off You Troll
OK quick heads up guys.
Been talking to my sources in Istanbul and the word is that he is absolutely Collingwood bound.
As you all know his whole family are Collingwood tragics or Collingwood ferals or whatever you want to label us lovely people.
My sources tell me that his father is still pissing himself laughing at the tiger melts when we got Treloar. He has instructed his son and his manager to leak info which would suggest he is 100% going to Richmond. His father not only demands his son goes to Collingwood but wants to do the ultimate troll in the process.
All I can say is....
Respect!!
Your source in Istanbul has been on the Raki too much and was probably thinking Besiktas

I don’t think the rookie list will last to much longer, not point to it now.
Just give every team 46-50 spots on the list
And you could simply say in the draft after the Main draft the secondary draft allows you to pick some players who can be given one year contracts (not the two years for the ND etc)

Don't know if this has been mentioned:

Once seen as Tom Lynch’s preferred destination, Hawthorn have reportedly fallen behind in the race for the Gold Coast spearhead.

Herald Sun reporter Sam Edmund broke the news on SEN on Friday morning, and believes Collingwood and Richmond remain in the hunt, while he could be long odds to move to Hawthorn.


“Tom Lynch and Collingwood is the pairing that we keep hearing over and over again,” Edmund told SEN Breakfast.

“Hawthorn, apparently, he is not interested in Hawthorn.”

The melt if Tom Lynch doesn't go to Richmond is going to be epic.....

They are completely and utterly emotionally invested now. It isn't even about Lynch anymore.

PR nightmare if he goes elsewhere. First Treloar, now Lynch.
Howdy pies fans. Thought I would drop over to see how you lot are carrying on about Mr Lynch.

Much the same as us I see. No doubt a proportion of the supporter base of the "losing" club will go into meltdown.

Whichever way it goes its going to be entertaining no doubt!

Much the same aside from the fact that the equivalent Tigers thread is nearly 4x as long as ours. But yeah, you guys aren’t any more invested than us...

Disagree mate why would we melt about a decision that is out of our hands?

Unlike you guys/gals we’re not counting our chickens......e.g Treloar.

I don't think Pies fans are nearly as invested in getting Lynch as you seem to elude to.

If it isn't Lynch, it'll be someone else. We get linked with everyone because we are a highly desired club (Treloar for example). That's how it works at Collingwood.

Why aren't Hawthorn featuring more regularly in this Lynch thing... they are getting ready to move Roughead on and Cyril has done them a cap favour... I'm sensing a late run from the Hawks to pip the two crowd favourites at the post...
Because not many people care about the Hawks.

You are right though, they will probably get him.
