Cumming could be a possibility - even better with Callaghan or Ash. 
 

Huston has been found wanting for pace - better to go for Bergman. 
 

Hobbs and Parish should be gettable. Maybe even Judith Durham? 
Nobody wants to stay around the stench coming from that place. 
 

WA players returning could be prioritised - they should know by now that the shocking surface at Opium Stadium is only going to damage their careers. 

What are you smoking?

    You could argue, a bit like West Coast in 2006, that sustained success was impossible given Collingwood's cultural problems. There were murmurs in 2022 (think De Goey), and now the other side of the 2023 flag, alleged cultural issues again.

    N Daicos, Quaynor and Hill are the only three Collingwood players I'd be interested in...

    I'd take Darcy Moore, at least he's knees will be on our team.

    I wouldn’t mind the other Daicos.

    Who at Coll is close to Ginnavan?

    People suggest IQ. Don't know, I don't really follow anything Collingwood related 🤣

    What even is this X account though? Just some random made up rumours thing? Or any sort of track record?

    Not sure to be honest, I saw it from a fellow Dees X account. That account quoted it. Could be nothing.

    I 'called' this, too, after seeing his BOG effort in their 2022 GF win, noting he was a VIC (Shepp?) boy, too. But I also think there's been some critical reviewing of him on here since then?

    Yes it is suspected to be Quaynor. 

     

    On the ruck situation:

    Kalani White at this stage is a pipe dream and if we do manage to get him next year, it will take another 2-3 years of development to potentially be a senior ruckman. THat is 2028 best case, 2030 before he starts to have an impact. We cannot wait.

    Is Verrall the answer for now? if not when? 2026? 2027? 

    Tim English is 26 years old is someone that will demand big coin to leave the kennell and we will again face the Gawn, Grundy dilemma - i doubt he would come. We need an understudy ruckman, not too good that would demand the #1 list spot, but somebody that is serviceable and can pinch hit for Gawn when he's injured or rested i.e anywhere between 5-8 games per year.

    Gawn will go for at least 2025 to try and get 250 games notched up and chase a 7th or 8th AA.  Possibly even 2026 to beat Stynes record. I seriously doubt he would be playing beyond that, however his body does seem to recover well and if he did try and play in 2027, hed get close to 300 - assuming he plays every game and we have a few finals games in those years.

    i think kalani will end up being a tall defender - think mac andrew style

    Watched the Kangas vs Blues 2nd half.

    LDU is exactly what we need. Wins his own ball, kicks well on both feet and grits his teeth and explodes from the contest.

    I would give up a lot for him but I’m pretty sure he’s said recently that he wants to stay.

    Tom Morris reporting Tim English more likely to go than stay now, may make the search for a ruckman more difficult in the off season for the Dees considering Dogs will need one too

    Dogs dont quite have the Dees problem, a much nice one indeed, the incumbent is holding back the future - we are trying to land the future

    English to the dees would be a win for mine. Probably more exciting than some of the other prospects. 

    High profile trades like Langdon, et al added real quality to our list. Mor recent trade acquisitions seem to be bargain basement raids.

    I like the idea of Houston in a Dees jumper (for the right price).

    Yes, but he would likely go back to WA for squillions if he leaves.

    I know it will draw a lot of ire, but Mason Cox could be an option to be a backup ruck/forward.                                                                                                                                                              Click here for vomit emoji

    Reading through the Essendon bigfooty thread (schadenfreude does wonders for the soul) they are ready to blow the place up and start again.

    Got me thinking we could do worse than get Peter Wright in as 2nd ruck/forward option for a year or two, couldn't be any worse than our current options.

    Wouldn't mind Nick Hind either, has some real line breaking pace and seems to be on the outer (was sub against us, came on and made a bit of an impact then dropped to the VFL).

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
