COLLINGWOOD
Nathan Buckley has put all at Collingwood on notice, revealing his intent for change with his post-game press conference after the Magpies were bundled out of the finals by Port Adelaide. Out-of-contract midfielder Dale Thomas has been heavily linked with Carlton and is already over the line, depending on the people you ask. Buckley has flagged the need for cultural change and some have suggested Heath Shaw may be moved on. However, the rebounding defender still has two years to run on his contract and the Magpies haven't made any clear statement on his future at the club. Richmond's Dustin Martin would add significant zip to the Pies' midfield, but may not fit in with Buckley's culture improvement plans. The Magpies may look for an experienced ruckman, to complement Ben Hudson and emerging big men Brodie Grundy and Jarrod Witts. While a lead-up forward – such as Brisbane Lions youngster Patrick Karnezis – would also fit the bill. Marty Clarke, despite having a year left to run on his contract, may also be well advised to seek opportunities elsewhere after limited senior opportunities this season. The Magpies may find themselves in the Taylor Adams sweepstakes, while Richmond free agent Matt White should be on their radar. – Ben Guthrie
