Collingwood defender Paul Seedsman looks bound for Adelaide after nominating the Crows as his preferred new club on Thursday.

It is believed the Crows have offered Seedsman a three-year contract worth about $330,000 a season.

I totally agree with the clubs stance on Bennell and I have said that from the start.

I am also content that the club has done everything they could have done to lure Treloar to the club and that failed.

What I am not content with, not happy with and never will be is the lack of aggressiveness to try and get other players to the club that in all honesty we could do with. Only really being linked to Bennell and Treloar is not good enough, why? Because it was the RFC that came out saying they had the big war chest, they wanted the big fish, they filled a lot of us with false hope and they have done this year after year.

As I said well before trade week, most of the deals were done leading up to this week so it was a formality to dot the I's and cross the T's. So where we in all of that, surely we have known who was going where? Yet the RFC still chose to carry on about luring someone big to the club, only to do a 180 degree turn around and say that they won't be getting a big fish.

So now to save face they are trying to top up with mid to low level players that we already have a enough of. They are also making this Yarran deal very difficult regardless of the games the Blues are playing. Honestly, they had the balls to walk away from the Bennell deal so do the same with the Yarran deal, we cannot accept giving up pick 12.

Honestly RFC don't fill us full of false hope next year during this period.

Well I'll be stuffed WAT.

I agree with you and think you have summed it up perfectly.

Add into that the Lennon factor, that has to be sorted as well.

I'm with Dan here.

The recruiters have not done enough to lure a bloke who never wanted to come here.

Why couldnt they have kidnapped him, plied him full of coke and got a hooker to wrangle out his signature? How hard could it be?

Amateur hour continues at the RFC

why offer boring pee take?
you may get aroused by the endless emo whining, but surely we allowed something besides that?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
