We don't need to recruit a replacement for Murphy imo. Remember we've got Dean in reserve. Also, I expect that TJ will play a few senior games next year, after they fatten him up somewhat over the summer. He'll be a ripper of a defender for us for the next decade.

Collingwood VFL forward and Mid-Season Draft prospect Jack Hutchinson has gained further praise ahead of a potential promotion to the AFL, with coach Josh Fraser stating that the key forward has "AFL attributes"

It is no doubt completely bizarre but hey whatever, any world where we could convince Jack Riewoldt to play half a season, with a tilt at a fourth premiership?

[LaurieHolden]

^that's a hard pass. We need 3 goal a game pre 2019 Premiership Jack, not a busted up on field personality. The Carlton Draft is more his go in 2024 and beyond.

On Jack Hutchinson, he took another screamer, albeit not as good in R1 against the Zebras. It was on the other side of the ground and the commentators missed the call.
Hasn't delivered game presence to date so he'll remain a watch and see.

I'm more interested to see how 2023 draft pick #30 Archer Reid goes in the WAFL for WCE this year. He's out of contact in 2024. 203cm 100kg forward prospect. I'd certainly be asking the question of his manager might he like a return to Victoria.
I'd love to see what Dekka had written in his little black draft book on him. His brother Zach was pick #10 for Essendon the year prior.

We also have Eyre who should be available in a month or so.

For the time being, Frampton has essentially taken Murphy's spot in the side.

Lets just find someone 197cm or taller who can take contested marks for fun and teach them how to kick for goal.

Still should have taken Aish before the other two, as we had to then poach him from Bears two years later, with more trade pain and bleeding from our arse.

but we rectum in the 2023 Grand Final

And just as well; I couldn't begin to imagine the fallout from a third successive GF loss.

Mitch Lewis is gettable

I wonder how Reef would go in either the Murphy or Howe role?

The latter arrived with a forward role in mind.

Totally agree.
Club keeps telling us he’s a long term big bodied mid, so why not give him 50 gams off HB?

Mitch Lewis is gettable

Is he unhappy, at the happy team at Whorethorn?


He is open to a fresh start.

But as other ‘Nicksters’ have posted, we will need to give someone up…

[Presti35]

Max Holmes is off the table. Just re-signed a big deal with the Cats.

[The Black and White Lion]

If Max Holmes has resigned with Geelong, does that mean Bailey Smithis not going to the Cats?

Mitch Lewis would be a great KPF but he also spends a lot of time injured in rehab

I'd love Larkey but didn't he just sign a long term deal with the Roos?

Re-signed last year until the end of 2029.
