Neither can I really. This is a good way to look at it. Not many have had a waaay better career elsewhere, and none have singlehandedly won cups.
Witts is going ok, Heater was good at GWS, Beams was a loss to Brissy, but thats a pretty select group. The flip side is of course that if you can replace them you think about the losses even less (just like your teenage girlfriends!).

Fair Dinkum or Fugazi???
On Footy Talk yesterday Daisy Thomas regaled the quality of Sam Darcy (Doggies) saying he’ll be best big man in the game in coming years
Then said Collingwood had an offer for him. 6 million (didn’t say the length of the time attached)

Hey, we all were. Problem is/was: he's a belligerent narcissist, who thought he was indespensible.

Oli is a huge loss talent-wise, but his heart was elsewhere; so be it.
We don't miss him at the minute, but fear we will in years to come.
Much better forward than one-trick pony Frayley Bitsch.

One about Keane returning to Collingwood going round. And would require a trade.

Nah, just do the typical Nickster thing and don't admit anything! Claim it was a typo! In 2019, you really meant to write:
"I have Stevo marked as a 10+ year germ in our side." |

He’s friends with Lipinski (knows Josh D as well) and Lipinski has been singing the praises of the club to him if he decides to leave Brisbane.
Rumour is if he comes to Victoria we will be his club of choice.
Club hasn’t made a “formal” offer but has apparently indicated to his management that we have 6 year deal at over $1 a year waiting if he’s interested.
We mightn’t offer the most $$$$ but he’s still keen to go to a club with a premiership chance and he likes the way we play.
He would be huge get for us |
Can you imagine McCluggage and N Daicos? This would be another 3 or 4 premiership contending years. Alas, I suspect it wont happen, these bloody good bastards just have a habbit of staying at the clubs who have done well by them in the past and they think highly of... 
I doubt he'll leave, but if he does, he'd be a great get. We should also be into H. Reid in 3 years - surely every Victorian club will be after him and if we can get in a "premiership window" we might have half a spade in the sand

Pick 4 was a bargain for Naicos. Pick 1 looks like being a bargain for H.Reid also. He’s playing unrestrained and seemingly allowed to just enjoy it. A few of the recent draftees have shown high performance and highlights early including Ashcroft and Sheezel. With JHG in there and probably Gulden slightly before that there’s some young elite talent coming through and lots of challenges to come.
Very happy we have one of these next gen players already. Apart from the JHF saga I can’t imagine what a trade would like for one of these players once they’ve shown a bit and established themselves.
Going to be some potentially exciting FA and trade periods coming this year and next with our retirees
Would love to have McLuggage too

I don't buy it. Surely if he had wanted to come back to us and we wanted him, we would have got him instead of Adelaide.

Update on McCluggage, he’s unlikely to leave now
Lions have made him a attractive offer (using the savings from Zorko pending retirement) to top it up
They are likely to have to cut loss 1 or 2 others but looks like McCluggage will remain a Lion unless something drastic happens |
