Not exactly a KPD but I honestly expect Andy Ottens to be looked at. 27 is not over the hill and if he passes a medical he has Paul Roos written all over him

We could try playing Frost in defence.

Keep an eye out for Caleb Marchbank. Know the family and see the old lady walk past work on her daily morning walks and chat to her every now and then. He is homesick atm and he is no rush at all

Class with ball in hand and tough around the contest at his fit best. Suits our style

Injury wise, has Chris Knights written all over him. Actually think we could do with a mobile 3rd tall defender, but unless Otten breaks into the Crows team or tears it up in the SANFL, I'd pass.

Just one from left field...

Anyone think T. Cloke could be moulded into a full back/CHB, big, strong reasonably quick. 

Not a bad field kick.

29 years old though. 

That's too far left field for me.

At 29 he is well and truly set in his ways.

No chance of our recruiters even considering him.

Not a bad suggestion there deeflog. He is certainly on the outside looking in right now at Norf. He has good attributes and is able to play on the really big forwards too. 

How can you be warm to the idea of bringing in a fringe NQR key defender in Hansen and agree that he has 'good' attributes but be completely against bringing in a premiership defender in Nathan Brown who is a similar age but far more runs on the board?

The bloke can't get a run for Collingwood.  

Plus he isn't an 'attacking' backman, something you knock a few of ours for, and his disposal is suspect.  Plus I haven't seen him shutting down any forwards lately.  Brown is not an upgrade.

Hansen might be a fringe defender, true, but he's a fringe defender at a club with one of the better defenses in the competition.  I know who I'd rather have.

To be honest your interest in Brown surprises me.

I'd say the overwhelming majority of supporters from opposition clubs would have Brown over Hansen. For reasons that are obvious I would have thought.

By 'bloke who can't get a run for Collingwood', I assume you mean he's been dropped once which was last week and is now injured?

Why would you want Brown?  What sets him apart from what we have?

As a slightly left field suggestion we could do worse than Sam Reid.

Edit: although his injury history would be a big concern. Runs in the family.

Not a bad option, but is he capable of playing on the gorillas so as to free Tommy Mc up?

If not, we may as well back Oscar in.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs GWS

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
