While Daisy was a more enthusiastic supporter of Mick's than a lot of the boys I would be very surprised if we lost him. Daisy and Pendles have played to each other since the Gippsland Power days and apart from being good mates I suspect Daisy knows that his co-operation with Pendles is an essential part of what makes him a great player. At another club he would be a good player. At Collingwood, working with his mate Pendles, he is a great player. I suspect that may mean more to Daisy than money.

| Even Daisys biggest fans would surely admit he played about 15 minutes of good football for the entire year, about 7 minutes after half time in rd2 and about 8 minutes after half time in the 2nd week of finals. Wasnt sighted at any other stage of the season |

Daisy leaving, although unpalatable, wouldn't hurt the side that much. He's a midfielder forward, and very replaceable. A Cloke type leaving, the man who gives the side structure, would have been terrible.

very ignorant comment (not unexpected).
daisy Thomas is the difference maker at Collingwood and the biggest reason we won in 2010. Pretty sure he has struggled to be at his best due to injury in 2012 and it really hurt us. Without his dominant surges, we looked fairly pedestrian last year.
would leave a massive hole.

and as a result we limped home in 4th place. compare that to 2012, when even mike sheehan acknowledged he became on of the best players in the league. How did we go in 2010.
If we hope to replicate 2010 in 2013, just pray that Daisy gets back to his 2010 form.

Absolutely spot on, Mr Cloaking Device:
Dawes left because Bucks, rightly, could not guarantee him a gig; we could not match what Wee-girls offered Wellingham.
We have no contract woes until we win the next two flags and have to find money to keep all our triple-premiership stars.
Pies08 hung them up when his local club could not fit him in their salary cap despite his pivotal contribution to two premierships.
Dave O'D has always been able to get a great wage outcome because he is elite.....

Yes, if he was at his 2010 standard, we should do everything to lock him up.
Same can be said for Didak. And Johnson.
Injury is the great leveler in footy.
I'll wait to see how he starts the year before I wade in.
I love Daisy, and really would hate to see him in another teams colours. I hope he gets back to where he was. Ditto Didak. And Johnson. At least Daisy and Dids have age on their side, (although Did's playing style comes into it to, much harder on the body than the other two) uphill now for Johnson I fear.
Yep we limped into 4th, a mighty effort IMO. And finished 3rd.
The guy we really need firing, what I believe really cost us, because we really missed those 2nd over the ball efforts, the man who has more heart than any other 2 guys put together, and that is Luke Ball.
With Ball playing, I believe we could have gone all the way.
Get Ball, Daisy, Didds back to near their best, with the assistance to Jolly and Cloke from Lynch, I reckon we will be mighty tough to beat.

No.
Your boy Lance "Buddy" Franklin will be.
God how I'd love to see the hawks lose him to Freo.

Collingwood Supporters, Footy Commentators and the Clokes all need to equally shoulder the weight for dragging out the Cloke scenario. |
You are right but our Football Department and Administration played a key role also.

Not unless he bulks up a lot more, crashes packs & becomes the highest contested mark in the AFL over a few years.

| What a stupid frickin' post. EVERY player at some stage will come out of contract FFS give it a break!! It's still 2012 and next year will take care of itself. Daisy WILL be a one club player. |

If we want a player to stay then he will stay, I think we have already proven that.
Daisy is an elite player and has the x factor, enough said. |

Yes, a six foot, 4th best mid fielder/forward, is more important than a 6 foot 5 inch marking target. You must have a wonderful understanding of our great game, and i see your still obsessed with me hey.........go figure
