Tomlinson, Langdon, Elliot plus Anderson or Young in the draft is not a bad October trade/draft period.

Would've preferred one match winning mid with class such as Hill, Jack Martin or Coniglio.

Really hope GCS don't get 1 & 2 and we pick Anderson.

Would pretty much make the off season. We need goal scoring power. We need quality smalls. We need marking options. He’s all of the above.

We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and we’ve traded away all our first rounders for years on end now.

To add Elliott and Tomlinson without giving up any picks would be huge for the club. Add in Langdon for a second round pick and that’s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, pick 3/11&13  just need to find one or two good on field leaders to boost that area and it's a very productive off season.

If the Dees get Pick 2. I’m confident it will be traded to GC for Ben King. Therefore, GC get Rowell and Anderson.

If we get Pick 3. Ben King is still on the cards but will play out quite differently. I have two scenarios if I was Recruitment Manager;

Pick 3 to GWS for Pick 12, 14 & a player (eg. Zac Langdon).

We then on trade;

Pick 12 & 14 to GC for Ben King

or ideally

Pick 14, 2020 First Round Pick & player (eg. ANB, J Wagner QLDer, etc...) Add Baker as he is a QLDer also. 

We use Pick 12 to select Cody Weightman

Add Pick 20/21 - Ed Langdon & Free Agents - Tomlinson & Elliot.

IN - Ben King, Ed & Zac Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, Cody Weightman...

Keep pick 2 and use it on Anderson have faith in T.Mac, Weid, Petty and J.Smith.

who makes way?

Lewis - yes

Frost - maybe

Others - ??

We finished 17th we should have salary cap space.

Lewis already retired, let's call that $400k

Garlett, probably another $400k

Jones 1 year deal with a haircut (somewhat ironic),  probably another 200k

I'm guessing we already had some wiggle room, we don't have any million dollar players.

No, but we’ve got players who think they’re worth a million.

Is Elliott really that likely? 1000-1 to move from Pies imo. I must have missed something 

The Pies can't afford everyone with De Goey, Grundy and Pendlebury all out of contract. That's what gives us a chance.

And Moore. It’s a nightmare for them. Imagine the dollars being thrown at JDG and Grundy next year. And if Moore somehow had an injury free year next year they’ll be pleading for them to take less. 

I think Elliot will likely stay but he might get a few more dollars in the contract.

I was talking to a mate today. They really lack grunt and an accumulator. Rowell not that big but I assume could be a bit like Prestia only slightly taller perhaps. I reckon they’ll go Rowell if they had to take one. Also he’s more of a sure thing early on.

I think when we picked up Lever we had room for another big recruit. We then lost Hogan and got May. So there will be money. As you said Lewis Garlett and Jones will free up around a million. I also don’t think any of Langdon Tomlinson or Elliott would be demanding massive money. 

From the sounds of it we have Tomlinson and Langdon all but signed up. Elliott probably likely to stay at Collingwood.

Although I don’t think it’s a certainty, I think Rowell would suit GC more. Hard inside mid who will probably average 20-25 possessions a game in his first season, touted as a future Captain too, leadership qualities that GC need. At 178cm he’s 10cm shorter then Anderson but that shouldn’t be a factor for GC.

Thanks, that is a good answer.

No way the GC are going to let King Go.. they will dig in, they cant let a player go, it will be counter productive to there push for priority. The AFL will make sure that they dont trade King, they get picks 1 & 2 and that they will hope like hell the environment gets better so King wants to stay.

See i think the opposite. if they think it's likely King will go as soon as he can they may want to maximize value now, and pick 3 is certainly a good return. would be a win-win for both clubs.

Good points and i agree that it would be a good win for us Patches. Time will tell i suppose, hard to make a call either way right now.

No chance. GC aren’t looking for a win-win. They’re looking to make a statement, that players won’t be allowed to just leave each year, even if it means cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Similar to Port with nick stevens.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
