I think that he is still on brisbane's list - meaning that no he isn't prelisted by GWS. Will slip to draft if anything. Hope we have a look.

I think this is the perfect example of our recruiters getting things very wrong. I can't recall the draft exactly but I do remember all the talk about him being "future leadership potential" and there wasn't much about his skills. Another wasted first rounder.

Not sure about all the bitterness towards mike on this site. A bit childish really. I quite like his opinions. It's a list from the point of view of one person that people are interested in - don't fret over it. Personally, I think mike is one of the few good journos left. He gets his breaking stori...

All depends on what we do in draft/trade week. Hang on to our players and add some cream and we can challenge again. Cats lost to swans around the same time we did remember. When we are relatively healthy we cab still win this thing.

agree with the heart behind the statement of the opening post but not the delivery.. sorry, but football clubs these days live and die by their 'soft fans'. hardcore fans turn up every year (and I would count myself one of them), yet we need to keep attracting newer, perhaps less hardcore fans and g...

Don't live in melbourne, so forgive me if this question has an obvious answer. Does his team at the moment have any gun players that might be worth a look in as mature agers? If picking him up gives us more chance of a couple of barlows or j-pods then the idea might not be as ridiculous as first tho...

Club promoting Centrebet on Facebook/twitter

But, the club tonight through it's Facebook and twitter accounts advertised on behalf of Centrebet by way of promotion. Given th...

I'm pretty sure most assistant coaches have a standard "get out clause" for if they are offered a senior coaching gig at another club. Sheedy's statement that "we will hold him to his contract" is brilliant in that is pretty much saying nothing.

our drafting vs hawthorns

Sitting back watching the hawks destroy the bombers through sublime kicking skills. As a team that has had relatively similar success to us, its crazy that so many kids/younger players (savage, shiels, smith, suckling) can have such an impact. Seems like clarkson had a bit of a plan as to the kids h...

I agree..slim pickings. Most of the quality forwards are playing for teams on the up and would be reluctant to leave.

Best bet might be a forward on the outer at their club looking for a change in scenery. Perhaps Tom Hawkins? Or Jesse White?

Agree. Actually feared it might be a turning point at the time. Where kosi missed. Savage converted on the very next play for hawthorn in exactly the same circumstances and the hawks suddenly woke up. However, whilst the symbolism is nice..at the end of the day the hawks were always going to come ou...

Whilst collingwood's press is aggressive ours seems very passive and it is too easy for teams to adjust.

incredibly disappointed with this.

i am sure that it is good for the bottom line and there was no sinister intention on the part of the club but as someone that has seen the devastating effects of gambling addiction on people's lives it saddens me to have such an association with the team i love.
