There are a few whispers about that Matt's future. Not sure of his contract status but any takers on a trade for this kid?

Given his problems with his feet, and our track record with foot injuries, it would be best if we steered clear.

OOC this year, was thought that he would leave to head back to Adelaide, but heard he's now listening to Collingwood's contract offers.

Think he's over his injury issues now.

If the club listened to everyones advice on Demonland we'd stay clear of everyone.

People forget how [censored] [censored] we are, and almost anyone is better than what we have.

sometimes I think that we hear far too many Chinese whispers, from the legal fraternity & others in legal know. I wonder how many players its turned us off in the past decades, & how that has effected us then, & now re our recent soft culture.

it may have hurt us a lot along the way... we like, the culture seems to like safe options, & safe options may not fail,,, but maybe they never succeed.

you can't make great footy without having players willing to get down & dirty.

lets roll up the sleeves & fight.

Talking to the pies about a new contract. If not I think he would go back to SA.

Doubt he would ave pies to join another vic club.

If he leaves it wont be because Collingwood want to get rid of him. Adelaide or Collingwood

Really annoys me how kids can come out of their first contract and basically demand a trade to their club of choice these days.

Can they though?

They can try...

Yes, and unfortunately quite a few of them get their way.

I REALLY wanted to draft this kid. I would love us to go after him. Good age to fit with our group, has speed and power, and the type of attitude we are trying to cultivate in our young group.

Absolutely yes.

If he wants to move after 2 years at a club who have nurtured him through injury then I'm not sure that is the attitude we're trying to cultivate.

Yeah we should probably never trade for anyone then hey? Anyone who's willing to leave their club we don't want....

Have you stopped to consider that maybe they haven't "nurtured" him? Maybe they haven't done the right thing by him? Maybe he doesn't like the culture there?

Have all your girlfriends been virgins when you met them?

lol!!!

They can try...

Number 9 at GWS. Tom Boyd. James Aish etc.

Taylor Adams, Josh Caddy.

Point is that they can try, but they can't always get their way.

It has always been like this though - kids could walk into the PSD after their first contract if they wanted to leave.

Buckley?

buckley was a trade too.

i can't remember who else was involved, but craig starcevich went to the bears.

I baulk at these low draftees who haven't yet cracked it. There'd be a good reason why, and if they're available for trade it makes it even more obvious.
