Darcy is now on a contract that most wouldn’t touch.

Takes 1 mark a game and kicked 4 goals in a season.

Slow, heavy, injury prone, can’t play forward and 6 more years at about $1m a year.

Enjoy your time at the Dockers Sean.

I'm sure he is.

Starting with Brayshaw, would not bat an eyelid if he went! Gets reported and rubbed out too much. His ommisions in first 4 games are crucial.)

Yes early in his career but he's changed his play a lot, so I don't really agree.

Latest suspension was an absolute travesty. Moore slid low to take Kozzys legs out. 

Moore should have copped the suspension. Koz just braced for impact.

And yes it will definitely hurt us at the start of the season but it definitely wasn't his fault

I think it is one of the most pathetic suspensions I have ever seen.

One second before impact there would have been contact with Moore's stomach, as they both ran in for a loose ball.

Then inexplicably Moore drops to his knees.

The Collingwood supporting Tribunal Chairman struck again.

Yep, Christian is an absolute joke as the MRO.

Personally I am not fretting over anything that I cannot control, I’m going to enjoy going to the footy with my family members and surrounding supporters and barrack for the boys like my life depends on it I will enjoy the Demon Army over to my right and hopefully enjoy my 4n20 pie, get a seat in the Rydder Room at 1/2 time and hopefully see us win a final or three in ‘25. I will love Kozzie whilst he is in the Red n Blue and not so much if he’s not.

We lack a small forward with Kozzy, let alone without him. 

An elite small forward is a desperate list need if not 2 of them if Kozzy departs at any point over the next few years.

Agreed. We should go hard at one in the offseason even if Kozzy stays

Agree somewhat, but the hawks went for Ginnivan and then picked up Watson (note we would’ve taken Watson at the next pick). We do have to pull the trigger on someone we think can be a 30+ goal kicker as a small forward

I'm thinking is poor Christian  intellectually incapable of filling his brief.

But it is the old fogeys club.

When Maynard gets nothing for ending a career and Kozzie gets 3 for an unlucky bump, the system is stuffed.

The BS technicalities applied to get big club’s players off like Cripps, who ended a Lions’ season, are symptomatic of a money above all else based sport.

It's a blow that we drafted for needs in 2019 and 1. Jackson is gone. 2 Kozzie might be out the door.

We obtained good compensation for Jackson but he would have made a big difference in 23. The compensation is just starting to get going.

That the club has been silent on Gleesons obvious conflict - most specifically the Maynard case - has turned me right off the club. Shockingly soft.

Dare we say that there is an AFL CULTURE, and not just a Carlton Club crudeness.

A pencil sharpener if ever I'm lead to believe.

No where did I say they do. Just because they don’t “grow on trees” doesn’t make it any less of a need…

[censored], they’re everywhere

We were very interested in small forward Joe Berry from last year's draft who went to Port Adelaide.

Jason Taylor and his team made several trips up the border here to Wangaratta to interview over the course of the year.

Maybe worth keeping an eye on over the next few years.

Just like chicken man !

Back to Kozzy if we do well and get to a preliminary, if he does go, we will get VG compensation given he has a three week holiday, it's time for a couple of others to show us what they have,

If he wants to go, I guess you can't stop him.  Lets win the flag, then if he wants to go, let the WA clubs pay top dollar for him.

I luv Kossy, but the season hasn't even started and already i'm sick of this thread. 

I know it won't stop, so i'm opting out for my own sanity.

We have to hope that Ricky and Roy are up to it and Roy gets onto the list.

That then would give us the small forward depth, with Kozzie as number 1 of course.

I have this feeling about Roy, if he can get on the list and get fully fit and totally committed, he appears to have that special talent.
