Pretty sure (and correct me if I'm wrong) that he was best on in the NEAFL grand final too a couple of weeks ago. I hope he gets a crack, I've always liked him.
Correcting you now

Membrey
Lloyd
Armstrong
Brown
Dick
Haha, cheers tabs! Good to see Matthew Dick going alright.

Yeah it was the week before the grand final when it was the conference final that he was BOG. Had 35 touches, 9 marks, 7 tackles, 4 I50's, 7 R50's and kicked a goal! 158 DT points!

Hopefully he gets another shot at it, he clearly has talent, just can't string together games. Hopefully he kills it during pre season training :)

How would we feel about Mumford and White

Shaw and Pick 11?

Don't think it'll happen. Would make Collingwood too top heavy with talls, and Collingwood wouldn't give away pick 11 for either of them two.
Bad deal IMO, as Collingwood will look to blood Grundy and Witts very soon.

Mummy, White, Grundy, Witts, Cloke, Lynch, Hudson, Reid just won't happen.

Thanks, just a thing on Twitter I saw. From a Collingwood supporter too   ???

Although I wouldn't want it to happen, I can't see how it would be bad for Collingwood.

Hudson has about 1 year of average ruckwork in him. As far as I could see Lynch really didn't help Cloke at all. Reid is more or less a defender similar to Carlisle you'd keep him down back even though he can go and kick goals.

Grundy and Witts with Hudson can't make Collingwood a realistic Premiership team for at least 3 years or so.

They need a strong Ruckman for Grundy/Witts to tandem with (originally should've been Jolly) and a solid forward who can actually take attention away from Cloke.

Although I'd rather Mummy stay and White go

Damien Barratt last night on the Footy show

Maybe he hasn't been offered a contract yet. Doesn't mean that the Swans won't  ;)

Nope, he's going around one more year for Collingwood.
