Jayden may struggle now that his pre game dinner from Hampton's Indian Express is no longer available since it has been closed and Hari put it on the market.

Expect to see some questionable trade in the Crows favour from the Saints. Dunstan for pick 85.

I wonder whether this year's and next year's 2nds for the Pies 2021 1st would be a good deal for us?

I don't why Mahoney didn't say: "look we're absolutely desperate for another wingman, especially now that Smith turned us down, we'd be prepared to trade almost anything to fill that hole"

Brown is 196/95 while McKernan is 198/100 - it's not the size - it's how they use it in the ruck.

Every year it's the same. "When will Mahoney DO something?" and then at the end of the period we've been very active.

Where are those numbers reported? Contract for $900k - 1.2m/yr and you want Collingwood to pay $450 - 750k of it? That is simply not going to happen in any world.

I like TMac he seems like a nice intelligent guy and I wouldn't be rapt to see him at another club, but I felt similar about Jared Rivers. We may not NEED to trade him to pay for Ben Brown but we should to keep the cap balanced by role. We've got a fair bit tied up in May and Lever and we don't want $700k playing at Casey. Omac and Preuss will be gone too but we've got Brown coming in, hopefully Petty fit and we should look for a depth ruck. In addition we could recontract Mitch Brown as tall depth. I hope we can find a taker for most of his salary.

I doubt they'll pay $1.5M over 5 years but they'll definitely pay some. would you trade Brayshaw (say to Freo) for the cap space and some extra pick currency to get Treloar? I'd be tempted. Pies fans on BF complaining that they've required him to play more inside recently which is robbing his strengths.

Like Brendan Gale?

Yes, or maybe he's shown aptitude and has progressed.

If we want him we'll need to clear midfield cap space - that means Brayshaw or maybe Harmes traded.

Have you ever worked in an FD with Stafford? If not then you have no idea whether this is a good or bad appointment.

Let's give it a year to see - worst case Weed would be great at CHB Weitering-style.

There is no way this happens. Treloar is a salary cap dump for the Pies and TMac is a salary cap dump for MFC. Collingwood will only take TMac if we're paying part of his salary. They might do a straight swap if we take all Treloar's salary.

Confirms they're shopping him against his will though. Why else are their List Management talking to a player with 5 years to run on his contract? It's SNAFU.

That's a relief, I thought he was going to that nirvana Ashburton for a moment.

Darcy Fort 27yo and 9 games. Tom Hickey 29yo 102 games. Ratugolea will cost and will want to pays 1s.

Jackson + McKernan

McKernan makes perfect sense as emergency ruck back-up for Max with Preuss leaving for GWS.

Footballers' salary would enable you to live in East Geelong on the waterfront of you chose to live in town - it's pretty nice there. Bellarine is great - Queenscliff or Point Lonsdale.

He has only got 2 years to run on his contract. It's hardly a Treloar situstion.

GWS matched so Geelong has to trade for Cameron.

George, Giants, Gypsies, Gents ... How do you pronounce this letter: G? Gee as in Geelong.

Ridiculous logic. He's not staying at North and he hasn't nominated any new club yet. Maybe he's going to nominate for Elon Musk one way trip to Mars?
