Magpie Comings and Goings....

Players are funny when it comes to pay (well, everyone is I guess not just footballers)

Leon's logic being that he shouldn't get a pay cut because he had a great 2011. By that logic he should give some of the money he earned in his relatively poor 2010 season back to the club.

Some delistings....

Injury cursed....

Brad Dick

Daniel Farmer

Trent Stubbs

Jarrod Witts will become a star. Great pickup by Collingwood.

Disappointing for Brad Dick, his body just never gave him a chance to show off his talent over a sustained period.

I see the AFL have given permission for Brad Dick to train with Collingwood. He may not be quite done yet.

The thing that annoys me most is that Davis and Dick would have had some currency on the market, now we lose them for nothing. Not to mention the fact we've paid for Marty Clarke twice now.

welcome JACKSON PAINE

Wearing the #35 this year for us... A small forward! Whoda funk

Absolute steal great pick, you should be very pleased.

ossie85 · November 24, 2011, 08:53:24 PM

Indeed. Collingwood selectors strike again I hope...

ossie85 · November 24, 2011, 09:01:59 PM

Maybe not so small at 194 ossie.

Looks like Corey already has some experience with the number 35!!!

Everyone seems to be saying Jackson Paine was a steal, anyone know why?

Big kid with decent legspeed and a pretty good kick as well.
Should have gone well before pick 50, I was expecting him to be pick 35 or lower.

But hey, there were a lot of surprises this draft...lots and lots of sliders.
