I agree...but its like its the end of the night and every body has their beer goggles on and everybody looks attractive and you want to take him/her home anyway, even though you know that you will have to chew your own arm off to escape in the morning. We do not need anymore injury prone players!!!!
Haha. Use the forensic flannel instead.

I just listened to Liam Pickering on SEN Breakfast. Very quickly swatted down speculation about Wells not playing on next year. It almost sounded like Pickering and Wells put the club to the sword on that.

It's also getting very tiring to hear him say "we're working through that" in regards to Darcy Moore's contract.
Would you rather him say "he wont be at Collingwoood next year so we are exploring other options" in regards to Darcy Moore's contract?

Still too expensive. Too big and slow for the modern game and not the most skillful.

We have Cox. No point adding another lumbering gaint to the list.
Horseshit. I keep hearing this over and over, but when he’s fit he’s a very good KPF, more than capable of 40-50 goals a year. He was averaging 6.5 marks and 2 goals a game last year and kicked 45 goals ffs...

Pace is no good if you can't utilise it to help the side though, which is Rohan's problem.
Any additional pace would be lovely, Rohan definitely isn't the answer though.

Would consider replacing Murray with Jayden Hunt if he was available. Both similar attributes, both needing to work on certain aspects.
I wasn't advocating for Rohan. I was advocating for pace. Hunt would be an excellent compliment to our side.

Yep, he would comfortably replace Cox if he stayed fit.
We lose slightly in the 2nd ruck stakes, which doesn't really matter, because Grundy thrives on big minutes. But we gain massively up forward, he not only provides a contest, but kicks goals too.

I don't see it happening either way though.

Patton would be excellent if you could have any confidence in his body. Which we can't unfortunately. We want to be very careful before inviting more injury prone players onto the list.

His fall from grace at Melbourne has been extraordinary. He looked like becoming a star. Any idea on the specific knocks on him?
Similar knocks to Murray. Disposal at full pace is unreliable, tries to do too much at times, not always a one-touch player. Has a fair bit to work with though, I'd infinitely prefer him to Rohan.

I think Hunt's form has been off. He hasn't been winning enough footy to regularly impact games with his run. And his field kicking has been wayward. His peak form is a lot better than that so it would be a gamble he can turn it around. Has he been found out at AFL level? Or does he need a new environment to return to his best? I'm not sure but he's an interesting option to discuss.

Don’t suppose you could give a summary of anything Pies related for those of us who don’t subscribe?
Collingwood tidbits;

Parting Pies

Darcy Moore hasn’t bitten on Collingwood’s deal, lodged in January. Now talks are off until the post-season. Sydney is exactly the kind of club that under Andrew Ireland would back in its injury program to get his hamstrings right and turn him into a foil for Lance Franklin. Especially if they have cleared $800,000 of cap space a year from Dan Hannebery. Despite confusion, Will Hoskin Elliott is contracted to 2020, with Brody Mihocek keen for a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, Carlton is poised to swoop on unrestricted free agent Alex Fasolo, who has played just one senior game this year.

Steven May

Stuart Dew says he will stay put as contracted player at the same time as he is asking about his future past-2019. The Suns would trade him for the right deal if they knew he was leaving as a free agent next year but worry what they are offering their fans on-field next season if they trade Lynch and May. Pies might only be able to afford if him if Darcy Moore leaves.

Has also missed quite a bit of footy in 2018 with injuries as well.

Even better...
Ultimate AFL trade guide: Who is on the move, which rumours to ignore

Jon Ralph and Sam Edmund, Herald Sun
an hour ago
Subscriber only

THERE are two competitions raging, but only one of them is being played out in public.

Less than a month out from the start of the exchange period, the names are flowing thick and fast between clubs.

AFL DAILY: TIGER SAYS SORRY FOR ‘OFFENSIVE’ SLEDGE

LIST CHANGES: CATS CUT SIX PLAYERS

BAROMETER: GIANTS MIGHT ROLL DICE ON KELLY

JON RALPH and SAM EDMUND try to make sense of a complicated landscape.

TAKE IT TO THE BANK
Tom Lynch

Take this to the Reserve Bank. Richmond will get its man, winning a three-way battle with Hawthorn and Collingwood. But the machinations of the move remain up in the air. There’s every chance the Suns could benefit from a separate deal where Corey Ellis and Anthony Miles move to the Gold Coast for a swap of late picks. The AFL would have to clear it to ensure it wasn’t seen as a sweetener to the Lynch free agent move.


Jared Polec is unlikely to be at Port Adelaide in 2019. Picture: Sarah Reed
Jared Polec

North Melbourne’s five-year offer on $750,000 a season is better than St Kilda’s and superior to Port Adelaide’s sweetened deal. The boy is going to get paid, and why not after being one of the shining lights for the Power in their alarming fade-out.

TRADE TV: RALPHY AND JAY CLARK ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS LIVE FROM MIDDAY WEDNESDAY

Scott Lycett

Has made clear to his manager he hasn’t made a decision, but would go to Port Adelaide if he did leave ahead of St Kilda, which has offered exorbitant cash over four or five years. Played for the Port Adelaide Magpies as a kid, but West Coast is desperate to keep him. Still leaning towards a move east.

Mitch McGovern

Everything points to the Blues, who we’re hearing could be announced as McGovern’s club of choice soon to get it out of the way. The Crows are playing up his worth, but are likely to accept a mid first-round priority pick or maybe an end-of-first-round priority pick with a sweetener. Still not sure how it gets them the No.1 overall pick.


Luke Dahlhaus is set to join the Cats. Picture: Michael Klein
Luke Dahlhaus

He would want to be the 2016 version for the Cats to believe he will be a forward pressure game-changer. Kicked 2.4 from 15 shots this year, and even with 44 per cent midfield time that is an alarming stat. Gradually the Dogs are shedding the players on their list who couldn’t refocus after the 2016 flag.

Andrew Gaff

His emotional high-five with Adam Simpson after the win against Collingwood shows what a tough decision he faces. But West Coast is getting the feeling it’s just all adding up — the aftermath of his strike on Andrew Brayshaw, his old man still recuperating from a major health battle and the scope of North Melbourne’s offer. Brad Scott might feel like he is Lewis Hamilton — in pole position.

WORK TO DO
Sydney trio

This is the week for honest conversations between the Swans and Dan Hannebery, who, if he had his choice, would stay. He loves the club, his mates, the city and the Bloods culture, and he’s a vice-captain. But after averaging 18 disposals a game (eight of his 15 games returned fewer than 20 possessions) has Sydney lost faith he can turn it around?

Still owed $2.4 million and three years of his deal. Maybe St Kilda is in such need of a win it is prepared to take the risk on a four-year deal with an option of a fifth. But the Saints won’t use their No.3 pick to secure him.

Gold Coast has no interest in Jake Lloyd, making that clear as recently as this week. The major hurdle was the salary demands. Amazingly, the Suns have an extremely tight cap, brought about by a complex combination of injury payments that forced it to back-end some existing contracts.

Like Lloyd, the uncontracted Nic Newman drew early interest that has since cooled. Tom Harley says the Swans are “confident” Lloyd wants to stay, but until he signs the prospect of another suitor emerging can’t be ruled out. Lloyd’s manager returns from holidays next week.


Gold Coast has gone cold on Sydney’s Jake Lloyd. Picture: Phil Hillyard
North Melbourne’s to-do list

Aaron Hall will leave the Suns. Brad Scott is an admirer and thinks he can get the best out of a player not known for his defensive desire. Others at Arden St wonder if a leopard can change its spots.

The Roos will try to orchestrate a trade for wantaway big man Braydon Preuss, but only on their terms and are happy to keep the ruckman, who is contracted until the end of 2020.

A new deal for tagger Ben Jacobs in only a matter of time, Scott Thompson will sign a new one-year deal and while there’s a bit of water to go under the bridge with Jed Anderson, the Roos are confident a contract will be signed.

Steven May

Stuart Dew says he will stay put as contracted player at the same time as he is asking about his future past-2019. The Suns would trade him for the right deal if they knew he was leaving as a free agent next year but worry what they are offering their fans on-field next season if they trade Lynch and May. Pies might only be able to afford if him if Darcy Moore leaves.


Steven May could be heading to Collingwood.
Tim Kelly

Staying in Geelong for a month to enjoy the delights of the town with his partner and three kids. His manager Anthony Van Der Wielen says unless a “compelling offer” came to the Cats, he expects Geelong to kybosh a trade. But he won’t sign a contract until the new year at earliest.

Jack Steven

Saints fans would abandon the club in droves if their best player left, so St Kilda has already shut down the talk of a trade to Geelong. Cats coach Chris Scott was just as emphatic it wasn’t being seriously entertained.

Lincoln McCarthy

Are the Lions only interested in McCarthy as a teaser pony for best mate Lachie Neale? They say not true, confident they can fix his issues despite only 29 games in seven years.

Lachie Neale

Has met Chris Fagan and some at the Lions believe the Docker star will join them. Yet Steve Rosich is confident he stays. Weighing it all up now. Pick 4 (soon to be pick 5) is about right for him. Lions in no hurry on a decision with trade period still a month away. Dayne Beams is definitely staying.


Scott Lycett and Jordan Roughead could both be at new clubs next year.
Jordan Roughead

Open to moving to a new club at the end of the year after spending most of this season in the VFL. Met West Coast recently. His manager says he’s been approached by “a number of clubs”. St Kilda is known to be interested. Restricted free agent.

Gary Rohan

Out of favour in Sydney after a difficult year from a family perspective. Contracted until the end of 2020, but expected to seek a move back home to Geelong. Would go for a later pick.

Dylan Shiel

Wants to come home, but to where? Hawthorn? Carlton? Essendon? This will be like dropping a goldfish into a school of piranhas. Industry chatter has the Blues dangling a huge financial carrot of $1.1 million a year. GWS paid $250,000 more than it had planned for Josh Kelly and paid big cash to Rory Lobbe in 2016, with Jeremy Cameron also on megabucks next year. All of that explains the tight salary cap.

Parting Pies

Darcy Moore hasn’t bitten on Collingwood’s deal, lodged in January. Now talks are off until the post-season. Sydney is exactly the kind of club that under Andrew Ireland would back in its injury program to get his hamstrings right and turn him into a foil for Lance Franklin. Especially if they have cleared $800,000 of cap space a year from Dan Hannebery. Despite confusion, Will Hoskin Elliott is contracted to 2020, with Brody Mihocek keen for a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, Carlton is poised to swoop on unrestricted free agent Alex Fasolo, who has played just one senior game this year.


Darcy Moore has put contract talks on hold.
George Horlin-Smith

Strongly linked to Gold Coast. Coach Stuart Dew said today he is “obviously interested” in the midfielder.

Will Setterfield

Has missed all of 2018 with an ACL injury, but that has done little to subdue Carlton’s interest in the GWS midfielder — the No.5 pick in the 2016 draft.

SPINNING THE RUMOUR MILL
Josh Kelly

Why wouldn’t Carlton ask about this man? Everyone’s talking about Shiel, but this would solve the Giants’ salary cap issues and the Blues would give up pick No.1 for Caleb Marchbank’s good mate.

Reece Conca

Fremantle has a longstanding interest in acquiring the West Australian and the rumours persist given Conca remains unsigned at Punt Rd despite bouncing back to produce his best season since 2014.

Jesse Hogan

Whispers have surfaced again. His Perth-based manager Jason Dover told the Herald Sun last month he was happy and settled in Melbourne — the club and city. But Sam Weideman’s emergence will get the rumour mill started and it won’t die down until Hogan signs a new deal past 2019 given Fremantle’s desperation. Could Andrew Brayshaw be part of any future trade, uniting with brother Angus?


Luke Parker’s name keeps coming up in the trade rumour mill. Picture: Phil Hillyard
Luke Parker

Essendon keeps coming up in conversations. Would be the perfect fit at Tullamarine for a side crying out for midfield help. Still, hard to see how Sydney let this man go given he’s 25 and contracted until the end of 2021.

Chad Wingard

Hawthorn has lost Cyril Rioli, the Western Bulldogs are about to lose Luke Dahlhaus and David Koch has said no Port Adelaide player is off limits. His manager Tom Petroro has said he is staying put, but his name will re-emerge in discussions.

Rory Lobb

Signed a lucrative deal in 2016 off a career-best year and while he is said to be happy at a club which has only one lead ruck, speculation continues.

Jack Hombsch

Has been put in the shop window by Port Adelaide and Hawthorn is said to have offered a passing glance.

AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN
Dom Tyson for Braydon Preuss

A direct swap was raised with both clubs, but knocked on the head by the Roos, who don’t see a need in acquiring Tyson.

Tom Scully

Linked to Essendon and Hawthorn, but happy in western Sydney and took a pay cut on his massive initial deal to remain there. If you are trading for cap space, he’s not the bloke to get rid of. Despite his name being repeatedly raised in conversations he seems happy to stay put.


Don’t believe everything you hear about Tom Scully. Picture: Phil Hillyard
Jon Ceglar

Has been repeatedly linked to any Dylan Shiel trade to Hawthorn, but the Giants have told the Herald Sun they have no interest in the big man, who is contracted until the end of 2019.

Mitch Honeychurch

Linked to Gold Coast, but they have told the Western Bulldogs they aren’t interested as he tries to find a new home with more opportunities.

Really...? This is the same Sydney who’ve been unable to get Sam Reid on the park this year because of persistent soft tissue injuries, yeah?
