Collingwood's website has got rid of Dawes already, added Lynch etc

He kind of was

Goddard and Didak had near-best career seasons (at the time) the year after reco's

I think you recieve a pick for each player lost rather than one combined pick, which is a good thing i think. From the AFL website: "It will be one draft pick for every player lost to free agency, with five bands of compensation available. These are first round, end of first round, second round, end of second round and third round. Port Adelaide will receive two picks for losing Pearce to Freo and defender Troy Chaplin to Richmond. The Power can't petition the AFL into bundling those two selections into one selection earlier in the draft"

Sounds like we just get another separate pick. As they say, spud+spud+spud doesn't equal a good player

Do we know if that footage is from before or after his broken leg? 'cause it looks like he's still got a great leap from the early parts. No chance he'll still be there at 20 unfortunately.

Not saying that i'm hung up on this, just that's why there's so much discussion on him

Pretty much because he was a pick 12 and we could have got Darling

And they're not going to trade John 'the future' Butcher for Morton either

Strauss, Scully, Watts?

Where did you hear that?

Great to see he's put on 2 cm and 6 kgs since we saw his stats last described too!

Happy to have Hogan, but why did we give up pick 13, and get back 20 and a guy who's worth a 4th round pick? Surely pick 3 would have been enough. This is madness.

Yep, in fact the only dud on that list is.........Morton

There was an article a few weeks ago saying several AFL recruiters rated him 6-8 in the draft, must be what's referred to i think

Would've been delisted even if they didn't land goddard

I'm pretty sure after that happened the AFL came out and said they wouldn't allow that type of deal to go on in the future

And we get done for draft tampering and lose all our picks for the next 5 years and get fined 3 million (we're not GWS, we can't just do whatever we want). Everyone still happy?

Friends and family? Of course he is equipped to, but that's not the point, it's whether he wants to. i don't know any reasonable Dees fan that would think he would not rather stay in Victoria. And he should let GC know about that fact.

Why would it be lying if he does want to stay in Victoria, he should be telling them the truth which is likely to be that he wants to stay here. What's wrong is if he comes out with the 'i'm happy to play anywhere' rubbish if he's not equally happy to uproot his life and head to QLD, which it's hard to believe he would be.

Scully didn't make an error, he got exactly what he was after, and it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with his knee at all.

The all ighty ollar

I think he's an unrestricted FA, so they can't match it, think that's how it works anyway

Suck [censored] hawks!

It gets said too often, but the umps really did cost Adelaide that game...
