Sure, but it'd be great to be able to offer that money to Oliver and Petracca over the next two years. The boost this would give the club is enormous.

Yep, I reckon this'll hold up trades for us.

By your logic, he's not going anywhere because he hasn't announced it yet.

Absolute nonsense.

What happens to Polec's contract?

Where is Hurley likely to land then? I wonder what he'd be worth in a trade and contract.

My concern with Richo as head of footy is list management during his time at St Kilda was very ordinary from the outside looking in. He might he good at the rest of it, I've no real way of knowing.

I wouldn't go for Ed personally.

As long as we get a decent winger to play opposite Langdon, it doesn't bother me what happens to Baker.

So pretty much what I mooted might happen. Righto. ;)

Tom's brother Ed is at St Kilda. They don't have another brother... they have a sister.

Each to their own, mate. I'm not on the auto delist Baker train, but I don't want us to rely on him to hold down a wing spot next year.

Not sure about that...

Sure, but I'd argue Brown and a winger (or two) are absolute musts for us this off season. Vanders, ANB, Brayshaw or Baker on a wing next year means we're stuffed.

Glad Carlton are paying him so much. How ridiculous if true. If Carlton aren't really in the finals race next year, I can see Cripps leaving. He'll be 26 next year and has never been remotely near a finals campaign.

It's already been reported a few times that we offered Phillips a deal at the same time or roughly the same time as Smith. It's matter of what we have to get the deal done, given Phillips has a year to run on his contract, which was not the case with Smith.

The old Wobbly fella will be unhappy about this.

I reckon Richo and Mahoney will both report to Green and the board. This acknowledges Mahoney's good work as a list manager but adds more accountability to Richo, so there's less Goodwin/Mahoney groupthink. Pure speculation, but it'll be interesting to see if this is where it lands.

Hi Tom. We've been proposing that for a while on Demonland.

For me, this is almost a purely list profile decision and cultural. He has experience and despite it mostly being in losing teams, he may be able to provide a better half forward option than Melksham, if he lays tackles. Let's wait and see.

The amount of pelicans I've seen hanging out in close proximity without a mask in the last 24 hours says we'll have a third wave very soon if we're not careful. I hope we get some crowds next year, but you can hardly devise a business plan for a football club around next year around crowds. I reckon you've got to work with the strong likelihood that there'll be no crowds and any gate receipts will be a bonus. But, I guess we'll see.

Lloyd is still an Essendon agent, pumping up Daniher's value.

That probably discounts us then. We'd need him to play forward. We're already going to have a number of mids playing as forwards, we probably don't need to add another. If Higgins was prepared to play forward only, I'd take him.

You'll be alright.

Well, maybe that's the go, mate. Gus to Freo for a pick that suits for Treloar. But gee, we'd wanna know his hamstrings aren't shot and that his speed hasn't diminished. And that's before we even get onto thinking about his contract. This would have to be carried significantly Collingwood for more than just a single year. ie they'd have to be willing to pay a portion of his salary for multiple years.
