Troy Chaplin also set to join Richmond. Link

Looks like Port are having a real clean out.

Chaplin's pretty average IMO.

Chaplin's pretty average IMO.

That's why Port have let him go, I guess.

Kochie is knob of highest order, will fit right in at Port Power.

I actually like Kotchie, worked hard to get were he is, knows his stuf, has a personality and better than a Ken Doll presenter any day.
Better still he is not O'keefe.

I'm with you KT31. He seems like decent, normal bloke. He certainly doesnt have a huge ego like Eddie and he may be able to attract some corporate support for Port.

It's funny how we all look at the same thing and come out with different opinions of people at times.

Pretty massive ego if you think you can run a club from a thousand miles away

From The Age:

Open Dawes: Magpie power forward to meet with Bucks after Collingwood signs Lynch

CHRIS Dawes will talk with Nathan Buckley to discuss the ramifications for him of the club's decision to sign West Coast free agent Quinten Lynch. The Magpies' decision to bring Lynch into the club as a key forward-ruck — the role that Dawes played this year — naturally raises the question of what the signing means for the power forward.

Dawes is under contract for the next two years with the Magpies but could seek a move — Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs have already expressed interest in him — if it was felt Lynch was brought in to squeeze him out.

Hopefully not, could be just a bloke who's club he supports and loves is in trouble and wants to kick and give it a crack.
Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be another Brayshaw.

I really hope that's not true, Dawes holds no interest for me.

Re: 2012 Trade rumours and discussion

IMO the Dogs should have a real crack at Dawes.
Fits into an age group we really need, will give us a forward and is a bigger bodied player.
