Monday October 10 - Monday October 17 (2pm) - AFL exchange period, including GWS zone incentive trading rules Monday October 17 (2.10pm) - GWS zone incentive selections. Looking closer at this, just realised that the selections happen 10 minutes after the close of Trade Week - you'd need to be sure who you were going to pick if you've just done the trade deal for say Pick 3.

Sheedy is doing a great job - I hate GWS already.

Tom Harley is GM of AFL NSW/ACT - as if he's going to take an Asst Coach job! Same with Dermott - he's off around the world with Getaway half the time. I like the Leigh Brown suggestion, Neeld wouldn't have to explain what he's talking about.

Darling (191cm) is a very good player, but we took Cook (196cm) and Howe (190 cm) and as you say the jury is still out - we may have selected a more flexible combination. Howe is very good and the Eagles already have Kennedy (196cm) and Lynch (194cm). Patience is a virtue.

It was tough for Howe to make an impact in that game.

There's so much bullsh1t on here. Jeremy Howe outmarked and out-contested marked Darling for the year playing a similar role as 3rd tall. Is he our tough KPP? http://www.pro-stats.com.au/psw/web/compare_players?tid1=109&pid1=2011033&year1=2011&tid2=116&pid2=2011026&year2=2011 Darling had Kennedy and Lynch in the forward 50 too much more size and experience there than Watts and Jurrah.

He would've recruited Kevin Walsh, Dean Wallis and Aaron Henneman.

I might have been just a bit on the Terry Wallace list manager suggestion ...

With Neeld, Viney and Royal (and possbly Craig) I'd be going for some youth straight out of the game, not that I would have any clue, but some likely types: - Leigh Brown: knows the Collingwood way and wants to coach - Michael O'Loughlin, Craig Bolton, Brett Kirk: some Bloods culture and knowledge - Darren Milburn, Tyson Edwards, Brady Rawlings: got the absolute most out of themselves in long successful careers

Mark Williams is really GWS coach. Hopefully Sheedy tries to exert his position and have some influence.

Neeld would be aware of Buttifant's importance at Collingwood https://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/123806/default.aspx AFL site seems to confirm it

Very exciting if confirmed

Indeed but not SOE at work.

I like that - "duck"

Agreed, Cameron has only been there one year - he'll stay at Hawthorn if he doesn't get a senior job.

Senior Coach: Mark Neeld Forward Line Coach: Malcolm Blight Midfield Coach: Leigh Matthews Back line Coach: Mick Malthouse Development Coach: Bomber Thompson Innovations Coach: Paul Roos General Manager, List Managment: Terry "the list manager" Wallace General Manager, Football Operations: Neil Balme

Our venerable OP C&B?

Can someone please show me a reference to the "tender"? I can't find one.

There's some mind boggling ideas on here!

Of course he needs to start immediately - we've got list management and trade period looming straight after the GF. We've got the Scully picks and the GWS U17 draft so it's even more intense than ever. [censored] Collingwood and the donkey they rode in on.

I don't see why it's so complicated - negotiate with GWS for a U17 draft pick just like any other trade involving draft picks. Something like: MFC "We'll give you a Scully compo pick for U17 pick 1" GWS "Gold Coast has offered us ND pick 4, that's a better offer can you top it? We could give you U17 pick 2 for one Scully compo pick" MFC "OK, we really want pick 1, we'll give you both Scully picks" GWS "Done, looks like GC gets pick 2"

I don't read it that way. What happens on the 17th at 2:10 is the picks in the draft. The trading for those oicks happens in the trade period. In the week in between the clubs who have acquired the picks have the opportunity to decide who they want to select. That's the way - read it - happy to be advised otherwise.

as posted above the "tender process" is just a rumour at the present time - one I have great doubts about
