Facebook rumour Willie Rioli to Richmond next season late 2nd or 3rd round pick headed the other way.

Oh god! Please NO!

To me it’s not the player but the type of player, we need key forwards  and bull mids with those picks. Unless we got him for nothing , terribly sorry

How is it that Collingwood are even in a position to chase players?

2 years ago they were basically giving their players away for free because their cap was stuffed. Aren’t they still paying a portion of Stephensons and Treloars contracts aswell? So how can they now be offering mcstay a long term contact at 650k and be going after Taranto too?

According to Wide World of Sports, Franklin has informed the Swans that he will depart the club at the end of the 2022 season.

The report also says Franklin and his wife Jesinta are keen to move north for family reasons.

Sydney CEO Tom Harley has told Sportsday co-host and Swans champion Gerard Healy that the Franklin report is “news to him”.

... Waits for Sam McClure to regurgitate Dusty going to Sydney :facepalm.

If they lose De Goey and Grundy, they'll be loaded

Think we are still in the mix, it will be about money like always so if we can offer enough we might land him.

I think they aren't paying Stephenson. Treloar yes some of it.

Grundy is way over paid IMO and I don't think De Goes is worth is so if they trade those two out then they could chase two players probably.

Tigers and Cats set to fight it out for contracted Giant

GWS has a salary cap problem and if they need to move on contracted players, Jacob Hopper could be a very attractive prospect for some Victorian clubs.

If we are losing our top picks on one player who has missed a lot of footy we are in strife.

Smells like the hawks trade with Mitchell for me. Who is our FA target??? Paddy dow?  :lol

Dow is a D grade player. Our Dow is a C grade player at best. Id rather we didnt have either of them.

We will cut lose 7 players imo.
We dont need Defenders this off season of any description unless they are too good to overlook.

What we do need is a couple of key forwards at least, 1 medium fwd and mids mids and more mids especially some big bulls.

Im hoping we get creative and rather than chase players from other clubs chase picks instead. Time to rebuild and accept we are in for some tougher times in the short term.

Be smart we need  big inside bulls and big mids like Lipinski Keys are there every year and cheap. If we can get another pick say in the teens then its quality tall quality mid followed by quality mid. Load up on these two types and try to adress the shortcoming in these areas.

Paddy Dow will complete our demise in this dynasty.

I would rather sign up Ross for 5 years.

Dunkley what are everyone’s thoughts?

Did he train with us at one stage? If he is a FA I would consider,
