Im not overrating pick 6. I think if we go to the draft with it we will come away with more quality.

Kennedy over Hanners ??

Any chance Roos told McCartney to "see what the kids got". Hence no contract offered.

He's got the advantage of playing two roles. But his set shots on goal aren't that good and he can go missing. What we give? Would rather Lynch and Pedo.

Go to the website and watch the interview. It's refreshing to hear his genuine excitement of playing rather than those who take it for granted. Where do I purchase a ticket for the delistings/trades come years end?

Cheers mate, I just checked it's also on the website.Funnily enough I come here first for information. Bloody stoked for him.

1 - inside scoop??2 - who misses? 3 - sodd off Garland and Howe.

First of all is Grimes is still in the best 22 next year we are still a rabble. Secondly we can't afford to muck around, if Lynch is entertaining a proposed 4 year deal, we can't leave it until the last day and then find out he goes somewhere else. We're not going to solve all our problems this year.

STEVE J in a fwd pocket for 1 year. We could do worse. I still have faith in JKH making the grade but it may not be for another year.

Special Robert is back....where have you been mate?

1 year?? You can't be serious, we have players in their 6th and 7th seasons and are still not up to it.I'd like to think McCartney is not only here to develop the kids but also identify those that aren't up to it and are no longer worth persisting with. Toumpas may fit that bill. Yes players take longer than a year to develop but they need to be showing signs of improvement. Too many on our list have either remained stagnant or gone backwards. This trade period shapes as one of the biggest in years with regards to our club and where we sit in the football landscape.

If nothing else I've just unloaded about 25 text messages to 3 of my mates. 2 Collingwood and 1 Richmond. A as Dees member I get so much joy out of the little things.

To be fair KB is going with it.

SEN reporting he's chosen the Tigers. If true sucked in to anyone associated with the Collingwood football club in any capacity.

So he's a better version of the Prince, actually sounds like a third of our team.

Fwd line too tall and Grimes in the backline?

Well if we were to land Lynch, and the sub is scrapped I'd have Pedo on the bench with 3 mids. Kent Lynch Petracca Watts Hogan Garlett The interesting one is, they know how much Dawes has left to run on his contract. It could be as little as 150k(I'm hoping it's about that). I can't see them playing Dawes with 3 talls already.

Can't remember....have we discussed Matt Suckling?

I posted the other day R-Jay that moving all five is unlikely and that I would keep Watts out of the five. If we were to secure Lynch we would have 3 mobile fwd options. But as you have said "never say never". None of us know what Goodwin is thinking.

Yes. I think Roos showed us last year with Trengove that no one is safe. Roos keeps talking about the past and those that can't get over it. Like it or not Roos/Goodwin will/should have on their list Watts Howe Garland Dawes Grimes What's scary is what would we realistically get for any of them?? Would any other team take Dawes or Grimes? I can see Howe,Garland and possibly Watts gone this trade period. Dawes and Grimes can see our their careers at Casey or accept a revised payout. After the weekend the thought that they're worth more to us than to trade or delist is now officially dead and buried.

And what a message that would send. If we could secure Lynch early in the piece, tell Dawes its in his best interest to find another club or he's played his last game of AFL.

Will he be dropped....

Well if he has go away and sort it out. And I mean a real problem not Jack Watts whole career has been ruined by playing on QB when he wasn't ready or Jack Grimes can't dispose of the ball after 7 years on the list because he was made captain to early type of problem. I cant wait until they are gone from this club and we can move forward. As for suffering mentally, I personally think that's crap, if that's the case leave now, not the end of the season, right now. It's simple Chris, they don't care. If they did they wouldn't be here.

How would they cope if they had a real problem.....

Your right and in the best interest of the players we can trade them out. Starting with Howe, Grimes, Dawes and Garland.I'd hate to see them suffer any longer.
