A massive slap in the face to Melbourne if we were chasing him seriously and he picked the Saints. 

Last chance ever to play with his brother, and Saints aren't exactly firing. 

We are not having a good time luring players at the moment. I suppose finishing 17th and being always mostly terrible will do that.

    Z Jones is being massively overrated here; very limited player.  Pointless having speed if you don’t have the awareness.  Runs himself into trouble/pressure far too often.

    Dont think we were chasing him. 

    Maybe he's ok about not playing with his bro. Not everyone's thing.

    No slaps in the face required.

    Trade time hasn't even started. Deep breaths...

    Another play with outside speed that we may overlook.

    he is fairly quick but have you seen him kick?

    poor skills and not great decision making either. no point adding speed without kicking skills imo

    Richmond won a flag in 17 with the worst kicking efficiency in the comp

    Good summary. He's a peninsula boy so personally moorabbin may suit him better.  Wouldn't add anythong new.

    Who says?

    We have targeted two and will have them both by the end of the week and had a nibble at one who is injury prone and might end up staying at his club. 

    Where have we failed so far?

    And to add to this, it's never been reported that we've shown the slightest bit of interest in him, so it can't be a 'slap in the face' to the club if we didn't show interest in the first place.

    We are going to sign Tomlinson and Langdon, we are doing ok.   Langdon has Jones covered easily

    It seemed obvious with Chunk being a champ of the MFC

    We needed a pacey wingman, seems a bit strange

    We obviously rated Langdon higher who plays the same role. Based on the last 2 years I think we went after the right guy.

    We did but when Zac met Goody, Zac thought this guy is stubborn. He also thought Melbourne's captains were a joke.

    Zak’s not a wingman, plays his best footy on ball or at half back. Contested players without great skills on the wing isn’t a recipe for success.

    Langdon doesn’t have great skills but is a more natural runner. Tomlinson was free (from draft capital). 

    I would’ve liked Zak but you have to draft and develop as well. Can’t be throwing 500k+ and 2nd rounders at every gap

    Saints now have all the players who nominated them. Good effort

    Agree, the Saints efforts are exceptional. Also the Cats.  

    Can understand the Cats having drawing power but the Saints are a surprise.

    Must have very effective powers of persuasion and been working on their targeted players for a long time. 

    And have a well managed salary cap or lots of brown paper bags.

    I would think that recruiting a player because his brother already plays for us would be right at the bottom of a list of good reasons to be chasing after somebody.   Suspect we won't regret not picking up a vanilla player like Z. Jones.

    Saints only have 51 and 82 this year. They still need to bring in 3 from the draft. Maybe a rookie upgrade? Not sure, but I think they traded future picks as well.

    They've sold the farm for those 5 players. Better work, or they are rooted for the next 3-5 years.

    • 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.
