Glen Freborne

To delist if no trade:
Ben Kinnear, Steve McKee, Andrew Williams, Jarrod Molloy.

Trade offer or keep:
Rupert Betheras, Leon Davis, Heath Scotland, Shane O’Bree, Lokan

Cole has 1 year to show significant improvement.

Of this lot only O'Bree or possibly Scotland or Williams would be considered good enough to be included in any trade for a Brown, Stevens or quality ruckman or tall forward. We will have to offer better/more than that to pick up quality. I don't think Lonie is safe, for example.

I would also trade/delist McGough. He is too slow and he can't kick.

Cloke and Shaw and possibly Lonie will join Cole on the "one year to improve" list. I agree with CharlieG - we might have to sacrifice a Cloke or a Licuria or a Woewodin or a Lockyer to go the next step. Recent draft/trading history suggests we won't go to those lengths, so I hold out little hoping of getting what we need.

We need a tall defender with dash.

James Clement needs to be utilised as a part time forward from time to time.

.... Collingwood would be insane to trade Ryan Lonie, Tex Walker, Mark McGough or Heath Scotland.

Get rid of Molly, Beatharas.

i agree scotland's skills are too good to trade away

If a good deal arises, I don't mind if he goes. Some people need to be careful, don't start overestimating a player's ability. Scotland is good, but he isn't as good as most people like to think.

Walker should be retained as he is a project player and talls take years to develop. The rest are trade bait if the right deal comes up.

I agree with that 100% hotpie.
