Hopefully Tomlinson plays his role down back and listens to May's directions. Then it allows us to play Petty & Joel forward.

Tomlinson after exit interviews is staying according to Callum Twomey

Learn to kick and lower your eyes when entering forward 50.

A must keep at all costs - he's crucial as a swingman.

White in 2 years, he's in the U16s now. Will be a hybrid ruck/forward. Young Yze would be lucky to be rookied.

I agree with all of this and go further that Max should step aside and free himself from the captaincy burden. It'll extend his career. Give it to Lever or Viney. Out of left field Trac he'd relish it.

Can't believe Christian didn't refer it to the tribunal, he obviously can't be neutral when it has anything to do with Collingwood.

I suppose they identify as Doodays.

Hopefully he hasn't gone back to the dark side. If he has maybe a an exorcism is needed.

He won't play again this year. Let he have some R&R then chuck him in the gym and get him building up his tank.

I'm in the keep camp. If Gawn goes down we are very vulnerable. We have to make it work and turn it into a strength. Rotate them off the bench if need be if they are not working forward. Having 2 gun rucks at you all day would wear the oppo rucks down big time. Hopefully we select Brodie and make our forward line work with Joel as the third tall.

I reckon you are on the money. AMW needs another pre-season to build his tank so he can get to more contests. I'd be saying to him play well next year and we'll upgrade you to the senior list in 25 and join McVee.

So does his mum

Let's retire number 34 asap and keep it for Kalani. Deakyn Smith has it now but he could be delisted/offered another number.

I wonder why they never tried even for a part of a quarter having both Grundy and Gawn at the centre bonce and around the ground, They could alternate going up for the ruck.

He'll also wait till 5 minutes before the deal needs to be submitted and then delay some more.

Hope he plays and gets subbed out in the first quarter. I missed out on tickets, are you going?

We get AFL compo pick probably late round 2 or 3

It's Daniel Turner who gets upgraded in 24, McVee gets upgraded in 25.

How it could transpire would be we get Reid at 1, Gold Coast match their top prospect Jed Walter at 2, North go for McKercher, Hawks go for Duursma and WCE get Curtin. Only real spanner is if North go for Curtin to replace a departing McKay. If we can't get 1 then we go for plan B see above and trust in Lamb, Taylor and their crew.

I'd do it, whether WCE would depends if they were sure Curtin would be there at 4. Then the added bonus of getting another top 10 player. If they don't we get 2 top 5 players like Duursma, Watson, McKercher and or O'Connor. Then we pick K.Brown as a late pick 89 or a compo pick for likely departures like Jordon etc....... then if we get more spots or trade we could go for a Liam Henry and or Georgiadas from PAdel if we lost Grundy.

Need Smith to counter Howe aerially

McVee has a brilliant year to many he came out of nowhere to play every game. He is being recognised outside the club as his 4th indicates. Another example of our excellent recruiting when you consider he was a real "rookie" not selected in the main draft like the eventual winner Sheezel from North or runner up like Ashcroft.

I thought you can play whoever you like as long as your AFL side is in the finals. Also there is probably a minimum amount of VFL listed players that must play. I reckon they play Grundy, TMac etc even for a 1/4 or a 1/2 for match practice with a view of replacing Melks.
