Look, let's celebrate what this signing really means. It means Eddie McGuire doesn't get what he wants bringing the "Weideman Bloodline" back to Collingwood. Suck a fat one Eddie!

Reminds me a bit if when Jayden Hunt burst onto the scene. Hunt took 2 years to get going due to injury and form, and Baker had a similar start with his first year. Like most inexperienced players they have their ups and downs, and Baker will be no different. Like Hunt, I see him being able to carve a spot out in our best 22. You can't teach speed, and the modern game needs speedy players.

I can understand the temptation given he probably only has a one to two year window to play alongside his brother.

Leader or not Lewis has good footy experience and a good brain for the game. His experience has contributed to the current group As the saying goes "father time is undefeated". Lewis can't defeat father time, the game is now passed him by physically. Mentally he still has lots to offer. I wish him well.

Surprise: Hunt. Many were calling for him to be traded last year and he wasn't a clear best 22. He is now one of our best forwards and looks like he has cemented his spot in our best team. Disappointment: How could it be anyone other than May? Gave up plenty on the trade table for him only for his name to be splashed across media for being out of shape. Then he gets hurt. To cap it off gets his teammates offside by having a cheeky ale whilst on rehab. I really hope he turns it around.

Gawn>Grundy and that is no slight towards Grundy who is a phenomenal player. It's just that Gawn is just smashing opposition ruckman into Oblivion each and every week.

Not keen on rushing Lever back. Hannan looked miles off the pace and would have benefited from time at Casey. Outs: Omac, Spargo, JKH In: May, Salem, Hore

The season is shot so I'm not opposed to seeing what he can do with a few more games in the seniors. It's not like we have a bunch of kids kicking the door down to take his spot (maybe a Sparrow type if we go down the path of gifting games). As for Spargos selection at 29, there wasn't a heap of standout players selected outside the top 30 in that 2017 draft. McCartin, Langdon are handy players and there are a few more. Spargo is also still only 19, so he might still be able to elevate his game (even if he is on the small side).

He is contracted until the end of season 2020 so unless a trade partner can be found he will be around next season. At this point I'd almost throw him forward in the vfl and see how he goes. He played some junior footy forward so it wouldn't hurt to see if he can help our forward depth in 2020. We can rule out the backline for him as a suitable place to play.

Forget selling this home game to Darwin nonsense. The crowd was clearly heavily supporting the crows. Could have sworn on the telecast it was being played in Adelaide.

Anyone know where a live web stream might be available? I'm keen to watch this and heading to the ground isn't an option.

There is a whopping list clean out coming so Dunkley might have landed in a great position at the Demons. Good Luck to the kid!

Scott would be preferable to Troy Chaplain surely....... Fire sale coming out of norf, list rebuild is imminent.

Just keep Jeff White's kids away from Stephen King's kids!!!!

Our percentage reminds me of 1997..... I shudder at the memories of 1997. Honestly we are not playing finals this season, our percentage is diabolical.

Grabbing a teenager with upside might pay dividends down the track. Hirst looks a good selection if he is on the board.

In: Preuss, C. Wagner, Sparrow Out: A.N.B (injured), T. Smith (injured), Stretch (omitted) I think Salem might be ok to go. Other two with knocks look set to miss. Most posters on here have summed up Billy really well so his omission is no surprise. Corey was solid for Casey, and Sparrow has been doing what's been asked of him at Casey. Given our horrendous injury list they are the next names ready to be called. Preuss doesn't require explanation, get him in.

His awareness should increase with experience meaning he will get caught with the footy less and find some space to break the game open. Some encouraging signs from him. Would like to see him retained for another game.

Frost - becoming more valuable Hore - bye bye Lewis We are missing Lever, May, Lewis, Hibbo and Jets from the back half, I have to give credit to Hore and Frost who have been really solid the past few weeks. If our full backline was available I'm wondering if Hore has gone past others for a spot in the best 22. He is getting better by the week.

I hope Goodwin talks about this during his review. Can't let this stuff happen.

Wow, you know our injury list is up there when your vfl team is this light on with AFL players. Spargo not on injury list ....

At this point we are struggling to score so anyone with goal kicking form sounds good to me.

Arguably in our top 5 players at the club now. If he continues to improve he might just be the guy we can't afford to ever lose. We will need some serious cap space in a few years time to keep him with us. I know many have long pined for Kelly after the Salem/Tyson deal, but Salem is a very special player in his own right and one we should be thankful is on our list.
