Elaborate? Are you saying that Syd would be willing to trade Reid for Tippett. Wouldn't be a bad deal in terms of like for like but age is on Reid's side and seeing as the bloods have quite a deal young talent you'd think they'd want to keep the core of it together.

No, I'm sounding to GWS card guy's post saying that Sydney doesn't have a key forward, when they've already got a young talent named Reid.

KKKKOOOOOCCCCHHHHIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Port Adelaide have officially announced David Koch as their new president.

Hopefully that's the first of many good appointments to help the power off their knees. Just sucks to see a club struggle financially like they have the last 2 seasons, especially with so many other clubs circling like vultures trying to pick apart their list.

DONE DEAL!

West Coast Eagle Quinten Lynch has signed with the Collingwood Football Club.

Not too sure this is a good pick up by Collingwood, guess only time will tell though.

I'm a bit confused by this one with the resigning of Cloke and the attempt to play Dawes forward surely this gives them too many big bodies playing essentially a similar role.

i agree he is up and coming

I thought they'd go after a more established ruckman with Jolly nearing the end and Wood not really being able to stand up as no.1 ruck.

Lynch is a good get regardless with so many teams now adopting the three pronged forward line.

Maybe Dawes is trade-bait?

Port Adelaide have cleared that Danyle Pearce is free to sign with the Fremantle Dockers.

 

[BLOWN8]

Can confirm now that Geelong forward Shannon Byrnes has signed at Melbourne for 2 years as an unrestricted free agent.

Troy Chaplin is now a Tiger.

174cm vertical leap? Micheal Jordan only had a vertical leap of 121.92 cm. Did u mean 78 cm?

 

[Shaunao1983]

Lol yes 74cm not 174cm. Funny the way you said Jordan only had 121cm. That's over 40cm better than nic nat
