Note altered list.

Rodan, Hilton & Stafford are denied.

Confirmed in the game today that Marsh, Blumfield, Houlahan and Dragacevic have been given their marching orders. Of that list, I'd be interested in Blumfield, as he was a star for the Bombers.

J26 - injury riddled and that has cost him - good disposal and very talented but risky as we would have to delist a young player to get him.

Stranger things have happened though.

If Fleming gets delisted he would be worth a go as long as he can play disciplined football - tough and not afraid to hit people.

I almost drove off the road this morning when they said Rodan was bound to be given his marching orders to. Wallace clearly has lost the plot, don't delist the kid, he's talented. At least trade him if you don't want him, someone would love to have him at their team. No doubt the Tigers are going to approach 2005 similar to Carlton. Lots of dead wood cut free but more dead wood playing key position.

[Nath]

Blumfield is injury prone, soft and not a great user of the pill. No interest from me.

[Joel]

Don't want Blumfield.

I heard that Stafford might be told to go as well. I know he is a bit dirty, but he could help us in the ruck.

[Nath]

Joel....if you aren't going to keep McKee, don't look at Stafford. You've got Stretch and Rogan there, plus Hall and pinch hitters, leave it as is.

[Joel]

Josh isn't a ruckman, and Stetch is still developing. Look at teams like Brisbane, Port etc, they have more than one person that can ruck well.

[Zeke]

I hate Stafford with a passion, but would tolerate his prescence at Collingwood for a season or two whilst Richards develops.

[Nath]

Zeke, Stretch has to come good next year. He's shown this year why we kept him when he could have easily been delisted, but next year is his break year. If it doesn't happen, they may not persist with further.

[Cam]

You'd get Stafford. As he would allow us all sorts of positives as long as he stayed away from the Tribunal.

[labrooy]

Rodan is not that good. Dragacevic (?) and Blumfield are injury prone and the rest of those mentioned aren't worth a pinch of the proverbial, with the exception of Fleming. He is tough and could be a good pick-up giving us that bit of mongrel we need. Wouldn't offer too much for him though.

[Joel]

Fleming is a hack. My girlfriend's Richmond supporting family think he tries, and he hits them hard, but he can't do anything with the ball. No thanks.
