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:

1.2 million for 3 years to port Is getting around

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
