    -Liam Henry 90% coming to us, turns out we've been in his ear since the start of the season.

    Doedee is all but signed with Geelong at this point, waiting for season to be over to make it official, don't be surprised if his the first trade of the trade period.

    We either need to start playing Cleary in the Duryea role or we need to find another developed and season small lockdown defender, cannot go into next season with just Duryea in that role.
    That's a substantial shopping list. I'm not sure we have the picks to get it done but it's early days.

      No thanks on Ginnivan. He is one those 'better players in Collingwood top' type.

      A lockdown small defender should not be hard to find, they generally aren't first or second round picks. Sometimes failed mids or forwards. We recruit from Footscray vfl all the time, there must be one there.

        Last year he kicked 40 goals as a 19 year old. I will have him any time

          If correct, and if Croft rises again, then trading out both first rounders and draft point trading the second becomes a reality. Add in a future pick, and we could probably get a few good players.

          But they’d want to be good players to sit out another top end of a draft for a F/S. A part from Barass, there’s nothing that screams get them all. Flanders at a good price sure. Henry I have doubts on. Depends on Ginnivan’s trade price.

          With our cash surplus I’m surprised no free agents mentioned so far or closely linked to us.

            If the Doedee one is true then disappointing we weren't in his ear. Maybe the ACL put us off.

              To paraphrase EW, we might have been in it, but he close the coastal life$tyle over us. Or so a rumour goes.

                I'm sorry, I know I flog this dead horse but there's obviously something so openly corrupt there it's laughable.

                  You and I sit in seats 1A and 1B of that particular bandwagon. And I reckon TBB is in seat 1C.

                    I'm not quite on your level yet - you've got a Stadium named after you.

                          Especially when you listen to Tom Boyd who probably has a similar mindset to a lot of potential recruits when he said he didn't even realise WO was over the West Gate. Then when he did he hated driving over it.

                            Really doesn't worry me - good luck to them if that is what footballers want. WO has never been a magnet for players, but it is what it is.

                              I think it's about to change with the new development being very attractive to potential recruits. I expect an uplift.

                                Cody would be happy to have Ginnivan in the team - he would no longer be the opposition fans most hated player!
