Well you pretty much said he was off to the doggies? I'm not doubting you mate, but like I said, you've had a lot of misses lately. I still think we should be in the market for Phillips but who knows. Freo are also a chance.

I'll keep an eye on this one.

What have I missed? Trade week hasn’t even started. 
I mentioned Hogan would be leaving Freo which he is and we had some interest but getting Brown I dare say stopped is going down that paths

    Matera is 28 and doesn't get it enough. He's not what we need at the feet of Brown and Weideman IMO. 

    We definitely need to bring in 2 more genuine small guys that will be able to help down a place or at least compete strongly for a spit in our forwardline.

    Was told yesterday that we are seriously looking at Philips. Originally it was Polec, but now switched

    I have also tried to get some info from my source, and was told Brown was our number 1 priority.

    Pushed my source further and asked about running players and was told the club was having serious discussions around Phillips. Seems that we are quite interested but at the time I spoke to my source, not much contact had been made with the pies or Phillips. This was a few days ago, and I am trying to get more info as we speak.

    Surely there's something brewing here with us to not be interested...I hope it ain't Treloar on the wing tho!

    Do we, you, or anyone know that we are not interested?

    Maybe “we” are just being cagey and professional?

    It’s a very good wage for a player of his caliber, he is not exactly a star 

    True but my post was more about the lack of interest. It is a good salary but not enough to put clubs off I would have thought. He’s contracted but the pies have cap issues so shouldn’t cost much trade wise. $400-500k 3 years and a third rounder could get this done. He fills an obvious need for us.

    Any updates on Jordan and his contract?

    Cheers

    I am assuming list sizes etc are holding things up, but there was a lot of good talk about him throughout the year and nothing now.

    Things can change pretty quickly but at this point in time I have it on the best authority possible that Tom Phillips will remain at Collingwood next season.

    Why have a crack at Phillips when Trealor is available.... I know who I’d rather. 

    If we can solve a need at a third of the price would be the why. 

    But obviously you'd be crazy not to go for Treloar if available.

    Talk is Collingwood want a top 10 draft pick so that rules us out. Phillips is the player would should be after don't believe for a second Collingwood can keep Phillips when they have so many more to sign.

    What's the bet the pivot involves Treloar?

    Polec would have required a bit of money from our end, so will Treloar. Phillips less so.

    Would love to raid Collingwood for those two.

    There's absolutely no way Collingwood can be asking for a top 10 pick when they're actively pushing him out in a very obvious cap squeeze.

    I suspect Oskar Baker also sends him his thanks for that info.

    If true that they want a top 10 pick then he stays a Pie.

    I still think we can get a bargain with Phillips and Brown. They aren’t wanted by their clubs.
    Over to you Josh. Time to turn the screws on them.

    I would suspect it's a top 10 pick they're after for Treloar, not Phillips? The latter can't even get a game with them.

    That’s what I was thinking, no way does Phillips command a top 10 pick. If they can get a pick in the low 20’s that would surely get it done quickly on their end.

    Would we have enough to secure Phillips? I've read an article from Matt Rendell saying that Collingwood could move Mason Cox, and if so they are expected to earn $600,000 in 2021 on his back-ended deal, it would have enough money to cover McDonald's contract.

    Cause if we offload Tmac's contract, then we can put the money into giving Clarry a new deal. This might be why we're not wanting to do a straight swap for Phillips with Tmac. 

    I'd rather free up the $ and give Clarry a new contract and then put Salem on the wing instead of Baker.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
