Death taxes and one these Pre season Melbourne articles.

That or we use to sign a delisted free agent.

I think he's talking more about the age demographic of our list by adding a 30 year Lewis Jetta for a year.

Yeah really surprised he was delisted. Thought the games I watched him play he was very impressive with his run and dash off half back.

Yeah I honestly thought he would have been given another year. His family would be disappointed. He usually joins in for pre season training at our local club around December so I'll catch up with him then.

He is mate, know 'Tex' very well from a personal point of view. Not only did I date his sister back in the day, but we then played senior footy together when he was only 15 years old for a year and a half. My younger brother also came through the junior ranks as well so we know Matt and his family well. Unfortunately he's fallen victim to the no VFL this year and having soft tissue injuries as well. Had no consistency this year at all and even throughout pre season who was battling injuries. One of the biggest weaknesses that Tex had to work on was his endurance and consistency throughout games. Would too often drift in and out of games and not really a big ball winner. In saying that, he has huge talent for sure, but just hasn't been able to put it together. I would like to see him have a crack at VFL level, but knowing the country relaxed personality that he has, I wouldn't be surprised if he is back playing in the Hume League next year with us.

Didn't know where to put this..

That was my initial thought straight away.

They must see something in Chandler. I thought he would be first to be delisted. I would hate to think what our salary cap is like now that we've added Brown, but couldn't offload McDonald.

Trac is still contracted until 2022. Even if he unexpectedly requests a trade next year i expect Josh Mahoney and co to take a leaf out of the Doggies book and hold him to his contract.

Who are you again? You're either some old out dated fella or school holidays have kicked in early. Now ship off

Great effort @Gawndog98

Lol.. I thought Burgess was going again for another year??

Jesus christ was that suppose to be funny???

Here i am thinking we would be ruthless with our list changes at the end of the year. Guess I was wrong.

Did I say he had committed to the pies did I? Can you actually show this direct quote? You're the only [censored] that mentioned anything remotely of Petracca leaving. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. Go back and actually read what I was replying to. It actually had nothing to do with Petracca at all but more so that Collingwood will continue to bring in players regardless of what went on during the trade period. You embarrassed yourself over the trade period when you threw several darts but didn't land any and now you're embarrassing yourself with this post.

It won't.

I think every club will ask about Trac. He's borderline about to explode and clubs will find a way to fit him in regardless. Key forwards are good, but when you have a guy that is potentially similar to Dusty in the way he influences games then I think I know what type of player I'd rather.

They initially tried him half back at VFL level and found that he wasn't cutting it in that position before he got shifted to the midfield mid year. He had some success there, but wasn't big midfield numbers. The issue is its all good that he's being trained up to be an i side mid, then out of the names of Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Brayshaw, Langdon, Harmes and Sparrow who does he replace? Sparrow is already well developed ahead of him and that's maybe who i could see coming in for a game or two. I just can't see how he fits in. Add in the two 1st rounders we are about to add on our list who I think will be most likely outside mids then again, its difficult to see how he makes it at AFL level.

Pretty sure he's brother works for a different player management company and doesn't manage Christian?

That's not going to stop players from going to the pies mate. They're a big club. They'll naturally attract good players.

Doubt it, but anyhow..

As someone that's known this kid and his since primary school (he's my brothers closest mates from up my hometown of Yarrawonga) I try and stay out of any talk regarding Jimmy Jordan. But to answer your question, I don't know whether he has a contract on offer and it seems likely imo now that he will go around for another year. But in my honest opinion I don't see him making it. He'll be depth at best. A few locals were shocked that he was drafted so high as we thought maybe rookie at best, or undrafted. I know he got drafted on the back of some pretty decent school games at Caufield Grammar so it's obvious that Jason Taylor and his team see something in him. All up to our coaching staff now.
