Collins seems unrealistic but happy to be proven wrong.
Wasn't Steven May also?

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
Getting Jones and trying for Collins (and maybe Tomlinson) is a massive of confidence in our existing tall/tallish defenders.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Well it is our achilles heal as ours are a bit trash.
We need at least 2 new ones.
The curse is dead.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
Is Collins contracted?
I'm a fan. Limited, but would be our best key defender and would pair well with Jones.
I have zero faith in Keath and if it were up to me, Cordy would be on the bus back to Ocean Grove.
Magden ... No.
I suppose we're at least being proactive and clearly we aren't done by just adding Jones.

Has Bowes selected Geel as his preferred club ?
I will never see #16 the same!!

It's not clear that he has nominated any club but 4 clubs have apparently expressed an interest in getting that deal done.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
Jon Ralph:
Suns are seen to be "well over the salary cap" and don't want too many high end picks as third and fourth year salaries for them will be around $450,000 a season. Also Bowes wants to play midfield, so that pretty much rules us out I guess?
Sam Collins might be gettable after all.

It doesn't sound like we are interested in getting Bowes but a role on a wing could have been in play.
Collins could be a very solid addition for us.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
It seems none of our recruiting thus far is about getting "top shelf". We look like getting Jones, Lobb (nowhere near value for money for what he brings imo), Rowe (who can't get a contract with Adelaide) and have extended McComb's contract (?) (not AFL standard). I hope that JJ, Cordy and Crozier all leave as they have offered very little in 2022. I also hope not to hear news that we are offering anything like long term contracts to the likes of Hannan, Martin, Bruce and Vandermeer (whose only contribution in 2022 was a 2nd in the GF sprint yesterday). Collins however would be a good addition imo.

So - is that actually a bad thing?
Fact is we're not a destination club - so taking 2 x first rounders (and I hope, a 2nd rounder) to draft is great for us.
Swans best player yesterday - Chad Warner - was a 2nd rounder.
Take those picks to draft, take a punt on a small forward with a late pick, rookie a ruck - I'd be very satisfied with our list management work this year.

I'm of the same opinion that we need to hit the draft hard this year and try to address some of our needs. It's a strong draft and we could bring in some excellent prospects.

Not that interested in Tomlinson especially if we are keeping Cordy. I believe Cordy hasn't agreed with us yet and one club has sounded him out. Perhaps all we are doing is ensuring we have options.
Still getting rid of his hangover.
