Appears Collingwood @VFL has landed ex-Bendigo Pioneer Marty Hore. Back flanker and left-footer highly rated by Pios coach Brett Henderson |

Another half back flanker? Are we stockpiling them for when half back flankers are the only food left after the zombie apocalypse happens, or something? _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Just catching up on some news from last week, seems we've added another couple to the VFL ranks:

Have to wait and see if they're allowed top up players first but if they are you'd think players like Still, Close, Moloney, and Pendles would come into their thinking. Think they'll more likely look at players like Crowly and Dwyer who've only recently finished at the top level though. |

AFL has said they can have 10 Top Up Players.
I see the ones might lose could be like Still,Close.Pendlebury and Maloney _________________ I am Da Man |

Familiarity with their system would also come into their thinking as well.
James Polkinghorne and Jordan Schroder are recent departees from the AFL system who played for Essendon's VFL team last year, while Clinton Jones played as a top-up in last year's NAB Challenge.
I hope the AFL tell them to recruit from their own VFL list first before plundering the rest of the countryside... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Anzacday over on BF posted this team from the Age apparently the players that are left...
B: Mark Baguley, Mitch Brown, James Gwilt
HB: Jason Ashby, Michael Hartley, Courtenay Dempsey
C: Jackson Merrett, Brendon Goddard, David Zaharakis
HF: Zach Merrett, Shaun McKernan, Patrick Ambrose
F: Nick Kommer, Joe Daniher, Jayden Laverde
Foll: Matthew Leuenberger, Adam Cooney, Craig Bird
Inter: Kyle Langford, Orazio Fantasia, Martin Gleeson, Shaun Edwards
Emerg: Aaron Francis, Conor McKenna, Darcy Parish
Think that leaves them 3-4 senior list players and 5-6 rookies in reserve. |

Those VFL contracts would all have "get out" clauses in case higher duties became available and it's unlikely any VFL club would stand in the way of any player getting an AFL shot. It would be at the discretion of the individual player to determine if they stay or go. |

Carlton will come on quicker than many seem to appreciate, they've recruited really well. |

only ex-afl listed players (from last two years) and efc vfl players are eligible for top-up. _________________ Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle. |
