You're right that he needs the game to be played at his pace, but I also think he has the ability to slow the game down himself similar to the way Pendles does it. Not to the same level at this stage, but the signs are there IMO.

His reading of the play is really exceptional for a guy of his age. He's going to control games if he develops that skill to it's full potential.

Armstrong is highly rated by the VFL coaches. I reckon the short and wide kicking is a game plan thing. Shaz is another one who's apparently very coachable, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's just doing what he's told.

Well Bucks suggested a few weeks ago that Sharenberg was a young Pendlebury in the making. When I read this I wondered if Bucks weren't gilding the lilly just a tad. Why would he do so? Was it was to convince Shaz that his future is seen as a bright one at Collingwood? Was it a bid to try to get him to sign a new contract? Six weeks ago I heard Dekka interviewed on Trade Radio and he said he expected the Sharenberg deal to be done in about two weeks. The longer this goes the more I suspect Sharenberg wants out.

It would be an astonishing situation were it true though wouldn't it? A club drafts you despite your obvious injuries and nurses you back to health after an ACL and you turn around and ask for a trade back home? Nice. We'd be well rid of him if this is what transpires.

As for the Treloar rumours, didn't Gary Pert say in early June that we'd virtually given up hope of getting him? Yes he did! Just found the link.

And didn't Treloar say he wanted to stay of at GWS with his mates and that the Collingwood rumours were rubbish? Yes he did.

So how is it the Treloar talk keeps surfacing? Where is it coming from?

It came from Barrett pulling his cock and wiping off a story. Of course Pies fans have been happy to run with it, but if you've heard one "Big Fish to Collingwood" story you've read them all (especially when said fish is looking for some extra cash from a new contract).

It keeps coming up because Treloar has still not resigned with GWS.

We must be tanking now to position ourselves in the draft to either trade a high pick or take him in the PSD.

Nice to have a Mid who can use the Ball well

Would be great to get him. F$$k off Witts and Seed. They're both useless.

Trade Witts for a first round selection and use it as part of the deal for Treloar along with our second and third round selection.

Keep our now top 8 pick for ourselves and use it on a key forward prospect.

If Scharenberg wants to leave demand one of the Adelaide clubs first round picks.

Kennedy and Seedsman to be used as either trade bait for a player or pick (points) or if required as steak knives for any potential deal on Witts, Scharenberg or Treloar.

Not convinced Witts and Grundy can be in the same side or playing two genuine rucks in the 22 is how the game is heading.

Cox is developing rapidly so we have some cover but might look to F/A for more or go after another more mobile ruck/forward option.

Just feel if push came to shove we can find a way to cover the absence of Witts on our list in order to improve the depth in other areas by trading him for the right offer.

Scharenberg only gets traded if he requests it.

Cox is an American with 15 games of football under his belt. We can't rely on him for anything at this stage and I don't see any free agents or trade options coming in that are going to be any better than Jesse White.

Keeping both Witts and Grundy doesn't mean they always have to play in the seniors. Injures and form slumps happen. Better to keep them both on the list as backup for eachother, if nothing else.

It's not the time to trade them anyway. Wait at least until they both demand selection and it's clear they can't play together. And see what happens with the sub rule.
