Might have to do that 🤣
I just hope he hasn't tampered with any other posts.
I'll DM you if I see anything untoward.
Put loads of salt on his dinner tonight when he isn't looking. Deflect his attention somehow.
Eventually he will realise he is losing the battle.

Logic falls down if the compo they would receive is better than anything we can offer them, which could well be the case by the end of the season if history is any indicator when it comes to the bombers and second halves of premiership seasons. That’s what happened with Daniher to the lions.

Lions (and Bombers) were very lucky to get away with what they managed to do in the Daniher acquisition (ie. offer a higher number initially to get the Bombers to let him go then spread it out later in a "contract extension").

The ball is still firmly in the Bombers' court on Parish no matter how you look at it, as there's really no scope for him to go to the PSD and get to a contending club that way so the price for his "preferred club" to prise him away is going to be high for whoever decides try to get him, as Essendon will match anything that isn't excessively overs.
 
I noticed them discussing him on page 108

I watched the Giants game against North and he’s an unfinished product but looks for all the world to be a helluva footballer in the making.
 
De Goey, Lipinski, Josh, Nick and hopefully Allan.

Those 5 players will or project as being part of our midfield group come round 1 2026.

That leaves us needing to replace all or some of Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Mitchell, Adams and Crisp between now and then.

That's a lot of talent to be found because we're talking about some all time Collingwood greats and a former Brownlow medalist.

I hope our succession planning is already underway because genuine quality will be required in their stead.
 
What are your thoughts on snagging Wardlaw in the future? Isn't he mates with Nick?
Fat chance. We might have more chance of getting Will Phillips, because I suspect Wardlaw has gone past Phillips in the pecking order.
Phillips still shows plenty of promise as an inside mid.
Wardlaw & Phillips were Chargers boys, like Nick.

Regardless of the shenanigans pulled to get there, it’s still a perfect example of a club not matching because compo was better than any trade they’d get.

Unless, as I said, the compo is a more attractive option. If the bombers fall out of the 8 as I expect, and Parish decides to go to a club that is contending, they’ll have to look at what their best outcome is. Not as simple as “match anything”.

Charlie Cameron's younger brother is back playing good footy in the WAFL. Apparently he lost his passion for the game for a year but is now ready to try and get back in the AFL. He has some tricks

Cheers, appreciate that. He doesn't live with me but I'll keep it in mind when we have tea again :D

I don't mind Phillips, would be a handy pickup. If Clarko doesn't return to the Kangas, I wonder if that would stir things up with the boys.
A watch and see.
 
We definitely need to start prioritising the next wave of midfielders
We have one in N Daicos ready to roll but we need to start thinking about Pendles, Sidebottom, Mitchell, Crisp, Adams etc

This for me has to be a top priority going into the next 2 windows of trade or draft.
Critical period for mine

Not sure another small forward should be a priority at the moment. We’re struggling to fit all of ours in the 22 at the moment as it is, particularly now Harrison is showing good signs.
