If Daniher winds up at the Lions, would that squeeze McStay out? He could be a good cheap KPF target...

It would be amazing to land him, but I doubt Collingwood would let him go. Offer him $600 k over 3 years and see if we get a bite. 

Is it a Colonwood / Eddie plot to get Weed to the Magpies?

 

Not surprising. Pies will have some salary cap issues over the coming years. Too many big contracts and long contracts will bite them. Putting guys like Grundy on 7 year contracts is poor list management. 

Mihocek is a decent footballer, but he's no better than average. You wouldn't pay him more than 300-400k. His management have probably got him more than that by shopping him around, so kudos to them.

Grundy was a free agent and one of the best players in the game, either you pay him a truckload for a slightly shorter deal or try to spread the load out over a period like 7 years, that's the new modern reality. Mihocek's easily above average, he's a good (not great) key forward in his prime seeking his career best deal. But he also seems a very loyal person so I doubt he held the Pies hostage for every last dollar.

With Moore and Daicos also signed the question will be can the Pies just offload Phillips and keep everyone else. Or are they going to push De Goey or Treloar (or both). Or are they going to make decisions on different factors than the salary cap when it comes to either of those 2.

Personally I think it's Mihocek and Daicos who were the Pies we could've had interest in. Phillips only if the price is very little. The 2 bigger names don't interest me.

I'm glad we're clear of Mihocek. He's a tough solid player but one only needs to watch his highlights to find he's predominantly an opportunist when it comes to goal kicking. Finds space as the third tall. We already have similar players of his type/role.

Cant believe how many people wanted this guy
