Dawes to stay with Magpies


As suspected - Collingwood hang on to their wanted players.

I love how fans want to trade out guys they don't rate at all for stuff they really rate like high picks or promising players. My favourite was on facebook. I don't remember the exact words but not exagerating someone said 'we need to trade duds like Hill and Stack for some really early draft picks'. Oh man I can't believe it's that easy.

Step 1- Offer duds
Step 2- Find club who really doesn't get they are duds but thinks they are stars in the making while also believing early draft picks are not valuable
Step 3- Premierships ahoy!

Hey stupids, do it!

My favourite is when posters say lets get rid of every one over 28 years old.

Saints could use another specialist diver next to St. Nick.

Here is a question for Woofers. Dahlhaus is a lock to be placed on the main list next season and Panos is looking good to be added as well but what about everyone's favorite player Ed Barlow?

He played some pretty good games late in the season for us and can be used in various types of roles. What are the thoughts on retaining him and adding him to the main list?

No, at best retain on the rookie list.

We have already made an error on that from recently with the elevation of Hooper & Mulligan.

I spoke with Callan Ward today at Fed Square.

I asked him if Reid was heading up north too, he said and I quote "I had heard that rumour too, but i don't know, what i do know is that his management have not talked to the bulldogs yet"

He was very sheepish and looked a bit scared when i told him i was a dogs supporter, but wished him well anyway and told him i sympathised with his tough decision. He was pretty genuine in saying "yeah it was tough."

I wasn't sure if we could drop him back to the rookie list or not. Let's say he wants a Senior listed spot is he able to jump into the Draft and try and find a home or do we have rights over him?

In the comparison to Mulligan, at least Barlow had actually put together some good games at AFL level and was very consistent at VFL level. I'm still scratching my head on how or why Mulligan was elevated.

I would keep him on the rookie list if we are aloud too but would elevate him to seniors list to keep him for sure.

Why would we even contemplate this? He is hopeless and will never amount to anything when it comes to football.

You talking Mulligan or Barlow?

Mulligan. Barlow is worth keeping as a rookie.

Mulligan. Barlow is worth keeping as a rookie.

I doubt G-mo is talking about mulligan

I most certainly am not talking about Mulligan. Retaining Barlow was the question.

Sorry G-Mo, misunderstood you there.
