Great article about Cole

NicNat has done his other knee

I feel so sorry for him. So harsh to only get 15 games after all that time out, only for it to happen again

I believe we can still contend without him, but he's a massive loss

[Gigantor]

I’m so flowering devo :(

[elephants]

Poor bloke, hope Slyce can become elite over the next 24 months - the ruck role is his.

Feel terrible for NN, cracking fella.

Poor Nic really feel for him
We need to get Lycett’s signature on a new contract asap,he said he wants to stay let’s hope that’s true
Let’s not flower around either Vardy straight in not McInnes or any other “quick fix” they think of

[Trindacut]

WCE are in a really tough spot for 2019 without lycetts signature. He can demand a lot more now, probably more than what he'd get on the market. Good for him, tricky for WCE. As a player who is second fiddle to another ruckman he's not likely to have as much true blue loyalty for a club too.

Slyce will stay, well give him all the extra coin we save on Nic Nat not meeting games/performance triggers

[Trindacut]

Slyce will stay, well give him all the extra coin we save on Nic Nat not meeting games/performance triggers

I wouldn't think he'd have much of that in his contract, he's too elite. Even with his history.

Yeah NicNat will be taking a haircut although I can't imagine it will be heaps but we need all the space we can get if we're going to be able to retain Slyce, Gov and Gaff

We've also got a few boys out of contact next year too so it's going to be challenging

[Nige]

NicNat will be taking a haircut

:o

Very keen for the game today. Bit of wet weather footy should really suss out how far the boys want o go this season. Slyce #1 ruck, its gon be good!

Slyce will stay, well give him all the extra coin we save on Nic Nat not meeting games/performance triggers

There is a little, plus the coin we save when we lose Gov haha
