Not against the idea of Jong.

One of he, Hartlett, Motlop, Wells, Harvey or Dal Santo would be beneficial to the outside of our midfield.

I'm not as fond of Barlow though. Think we have enough one paced inside mids.

Looks like the one we may get, is the one you don't want.

    Collingwood are no longer interested in him. 

    Western Bulldog Lin Jong weighing up offer from Gold Coast Suns as Collingwood withdraws

    Beveridge has shown he can make the tough gutsy calls: suspended Boyd and Cordy, dropped Stringer. 

    We will never know if Lin Jong showing his intentions cost him his spot in the GF.  But if the decision was 50/50, even 60/40 in his favour, between him and a player who was loyal and committed to and trusted by his mates and the team (which is what they thrive on) that Beveridge would back the loyal player.  I would say Lin Jong has paid a high price for venturing into enemy territory during the year and showing his hand early.

    Moral of the story: don't trust Collingwood.

    He is an upgrade over Newton Michie etc... but surely not our highest priority. His best is very quick, very strong and very good.

    If the price were right why not.  A very good player.

    Would say his questionable broken collar bone may have cost him a spot rather than old age loyalty adage. :rolleyes:

    I wonder what his trade value is like at the moment?  Collingwood pulling out means it is a two horse race between staying at doggies or joining GCS.

    He is a handy player.

    Why just a two horse race?  Do you actually know that our guys aren't at least talking with him?  Or other clubs?

    Just commenting on who is interested based on the media. You would think others are talking, but only two have confirmed interest publicly.

    Out of contract end of the year and has apparently been touring Collingwoods facilities. I would love for us to have a crack as he could be a good pickup if we could get him cheap. 

    23 and just coming into his prime. Being on the scuff of the Bulldogs midfield is an effort in itself. 

    Collingwood would probably swap him for Cloke.

    I would like to pick up Jong simply because every time we play against them at any level he always dominates, better to have him on our side hahaha

    Even if playing hardball backfires, we have Melksham, Lamumba, Salem & Hunt backed up. We can offer them a third round and/or player and threaten them with the grievance tribunal route. From hearing their fans, they were only too happy to do the same type of thing to Gold Coast with O'Meara and the preseason draft.

    Any haggler knows that you walk away from a bad offer and let them chase you down with your price or you keep walking

    The past 3 years we have just got the job done without arsing around. Get Hibberd first then see what we can do.

    Surely he can't say that and then ask Melbourne for more in trade week, deal should be done 5 minutes into trade week

    The grievance tribunal is no longer an option given Hibberd said he would go back to Essendon happily if a deal couldn't be made.

    Getting a fair deal done early is the way to go. It saves everyone a lot of time by skipping the negotiating part and landing at agreement very early, it stops emotion from playing any role, and it builds confidence between parties for future deals.  IMO it would be a total disaster if the two clubs starting huffing and folding their arms and stomping their feet like the Essendon/St Kilda negotiation last year.  It makes it take forever and prevents us (and Essendon) from getting *any* other deals done.

    By those comments from Dodoro, it sounds like getting it done early and reasonably is the preferred option.  And@Redleghas been saying for ages that this deal has already been agreed to.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
