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.

    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 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.
