Harmes and King have been on the rookie list for the last 2 yrs,perhaps the club needs to take a chance on one of them. An upgrad is possilble due to long term injuries to Petracca and Trengove. Vander got an update to from rookie list to seniors. Nothing ventured is

nothing gained. I hate to see long term rookies ( > 2yrs), train and develop them.

 

Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey.

Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims.

I thought he was gone.

There goes one of my hopes. Maybe we can shake something loose out of the Swans , GWS or Suns. Pick 4 or 5 should be a handy start .

 

Will be interesting to see whether the new F/S and academy rules shake out similar quality players from the Swans, GWS or Bris, or will it be smoke and mirrors by the AFL giving an appearance that they are not providing another leg up to the rugby stronghold states.

Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett.

He shouldn't cost too much. Currently tipped to go late in the draft as it is, and it would be odd for anyone to bid overs for him.

His father became a great player for us, but it was after he was 21 he started showing ability. His son may be in the same mould.

Rumour flying around at work that a victorian team that isn't richmond or geelong has offered danger a buddy like deal.

Hawthorn or Collingwood im guessing.

No idea dazzle, i think its irresponsible to give up that sort of money/years for a mid who i don't consider to be gary ablett or nat fyfe level

Gotta pay someone.

They were talking about Collingwood on SEN. The plan being, Swan out, Dangermouse in, on maybe twice as much as Pendles.

Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it.

When is it time to get in Swan's ear?

He left the crows did he?

It's this difference between "resigns" and "re-signs". Where's the hyphen, people??!!

In Sloane's case, unfortunately the latter.


Collingwood have the cap room for Dangerfield, their list management had been clever the past few seasons and I'm sure if Swanny is done the pies could strike a deal with 800k+ per season.

Hawthorn simply cannot have the cap room for a top tier free agent.

Apparently Aaron Black is disgruntled at the Roos and may request a trade back to Freo - if he was looking for more game time is he worth a look as a 3rd forward type for us? Maybe we try and convince him to come over with the promise of more game time... or is he just another guy like Dawes who shows a bit in the shop window without there being much behind it?

Black is a good player

That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is).

You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon.

We thought the same at Sydney with Buddy but it hasn't really happened.

The Pies have lost Beams and have Swan in his later years so may make some sense to have a go at Danger. I think Pendles would have to be up on similar money though.

I think it was a little different with Buddy. Bringing in the best key forward in the competition on huge money is a little different than brining in a star midfielder, especially when you already have one in Pendles.

Sure, Sydney had Tippett, but we all know Buddy is better.

Does bringing in great players on great money ever really cause instability? I've heard supporters use that line often, but I can't recall any evidence of that happening in my lifetime.

I would have thought in the professional era, most players would look past the envy of the big income earners and would be quite happy to have a superstar added to their side to enhance their flag chances.

I suppose when you start winning it mitigates the envy issue somewhat.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
