Ned Guy also said "we've done our homework there and I don't think we'll go down that path" That concerns me. Is it possible Tom did a medical with Collingwood and they saw something that made them concerned about Tom long-term......?

Surely our attention turns to getting this bloke now with Smith choosing Cats? Just walk in to a meeting with him, and tell him he can have the left wing at the G. Get it done!

Sam Edmund just confirmed interest from GWS on SEN.

Grain of salt needed given the source, but........

Great servant, and much loved, but.....this year it looked like his legs were gone unfortunately. Let him go, and have Phillips come the other way. If steak knives are needed in some form so be it.

Reported on SEN that Collingwood has told Phillips that they are open to trading him. We must ask the question. Perfect for the left sided wing as a left footer. 24 years of age. Runs all day. I would be prioritising Phillips over Smith. Get it done Dees.

Is that you Tom Browne?

I want Oscar McDonald out and never picked again. Sydney aren't tall, and I thought he was terrible. His turnover kick, inboard from half-back/wing with no pressure on him + my subsequent reaction, abruptly ended the life of my Sony Bravia television.

With Tomlinson playing KPD which I believe is his best position. I think acquiring Atkins would be a smart move for the left wing. - He is a FA so nothing needs to be given in return. - Vandenberg as an injury prone player, means we need depth for the wing position. - Jones is currently our back-up, and as much as we all love him, we need a contingency plan in place given this is possibly (most likely) his last year - Penny may have finally dropped for Goodwin not to play Brayshaw on the wing so this reinforces why we need depth in this position - During their grand final year, Atkins was considered to be in All Aus form, and as a left footer, he can play as the left footed winger, leaving Langdon for the right. - I daresay that with the early announcement that Atkins is exercising his rights to FA, he has already found a club, and I selfishly hope it is us

You can't deny he was right about Max playing in the back half. Intercept marks yesterday were critical.

Tomlinson is a seriously good KPD if given the opportunity. Will enable May to go forward and provide that "contest" the coaching staff are always after, in the air.

When Hogan left I hoped that would be the end of the annual rumour mill about one of our players leaving.....I fear Brayshaw is now that new player.

I think the lack of movement in tying up Frost is due to the interest in Tomlinson. I actually think we plan on playing Tomlinson as a key back (where he has played his best footy). Then have Petty and Oscar as the back-ups in case we are hit with the injury stick.

They beat us this way every time, too quick on the outside.

Out: Hogan, Pick 6 and Future 4th round pick In: May, KK, Pick 23 and Gold Coast future 4th round pick Reported in the Age

Hopefully this thread not only includes rumours but long bows as well, because here is one.... Max Gawn just followed Jonathan Ceglar on Instagram. Is possibly seen as third in line at Hawthorn, given they have McEvoy and Pittonet. Is contracted to end of 2019, perhaps with North playing hardball with Preuss, we may be looking at Ceglar.

So goodbye to all our depth. Out: Hogan, Kent, Tyson, Vandenberg, Pedersen, Vince, Bugg I'm worried

Imagine this: Trade Hogan to Fremantle for Pick 6 and 5 Trade Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Steven May Trade Pick 6 to GWS for Dylan Shiel Sign Andrew Gaff as a free agent

Hogan for Pick 5 and Langdon

This is my exact thoughts. Imagine Eddie celebrating with his two little dweebs as we lose to the Pies in a granny. God no, just no.

I believe that Melksham is carrying a groin injury. Not enough to force him out, but they will have to manage it for rest of season.

watch the footage of Simon Godfrey sitting next to Neale Daniher, Daniel Ward and Brad Green on repeat.

Garlett was good in VFL so he has at least put his hand up. Spargo cannot be dropped on today's form though. I agree with above: Viney and Hannan in. Tyson and Kent out. Simples (chipmunk squeak)
