Forget Luke Ball, Ryan O'Keefe and Andrew Raines.

Port Adelaide has reportedly made Goldsack an offer he can't refuse.

We need a bloke with his attributes. Surely, we could look at trumping their offer?

This fits my scenario of utilsing ( hypothetically at this stage ) the paypackets of Watts and Chip to go big time after someone like this

    Port probably do more than us, we need some blokes with Port's attributes.

    We can only trump their offer in money. If that's what he is after then, if we make a play for him, we are a chance. Otherwise we really have nothing else to offer right now as a club that would trump anything Port have to offer.

    He's a free agent so watering down the Frawley compo is the main factor.

    Plus, if I'm a 27 year old and have port and collingwood playing tug of war for my services I'm not wasting any time on offers from melbourne unless they're about $200k per season better than the other offers.

    And he's certainly not worth $600k per season.

    If Frawley goes, the compo would most likely be worth more than Goldsack so the only way you would consider going after him would be to do a trade with Collingwood so who could we give them in exchange?

    Jack Watts? :lol:

    One of the people we had dinner with last night was a Collingwood supporter who remarked that Goldsack's performances in the last 6 to 8 weeks of the season were well below par for him. He seems to think that its possible that the drop off in form could coincide with the offer from Port Adelaide. I thought the idea had a familiar ring about it.

    I wouldn't say no to him but I wouldn't be paying him stupid money either. He's a role player not a game changer, unless he had a massively front loaded contract due to cap space there's no way I'd be offering what Port apparently are. Maybe $300k/year definitely not $400K.

    Role player. Exactly what Roos likes.

    Oh and he;s a swingman as well...

    Sorry, but what is this obsession everyone has with "swingmen" at the moment? You don't see the better sides worrying about whether their full back can play full forward, they just worry about having the best full back they can possibly have.

    Teams like Sydney, Hawthorn and Geelong have a dozen blokes they can push through the midfield, and their team leaders (Hodge, Bartel, etc) will go to wherever they are needed, but you never see them worrying about anything other than getting the best person for each role.

    Meanwhile, we waste our time trying to turn an All Australian full back into a centre half forward and our 2013 leading goalscorer into a defender, and wonder why we never improve.

    Like Dawes, Goldsack has value as a third or fourth forward, but you certainly can't build a side around him and he is definitely not worth the sort of money that is being suggested.

    Hardly an obsession but lots of teams have these types. Its called versatility. And when things arent going according to plan you can move your team around - there's a novelty Poita.

    Tyson is my cousin, I can assure you that his mother Mrs Sack will kill him if he leaves Victoria.

    It will be a shame that Goldsack,Ball,and Dick will never play together again.

    They were perfectly named for Collingwood players.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
