| Good to hear. I always expected it once the club was happy with the improved form of de Goey. Scharenberg will be a formality. Moore is a bit more complicated as he has no form on the field and other clubs are sniffing. |

I thought that he was referring to Garry Ablett senior when he said that.
He was also the one that delivered a Ted Whitten eulogy but had a large image of Jack Dyer behind him as he was doing so. |

Well, inxs88, it's not bad news (e.g. an arrest or scandal, etc.), so unless he was sworn to secrecy...
And I'm now wondering where that expression comes from. Mums tend to be very loose-tongued... |

“Mums the word” or to “keep mum” doesn’t have anything to do with mothers. The term comes in reference to street plays that began back in the Middle Ages. The street theatre performances are called Mummers Plays and the performers are mummers. They are usually wearing masks etc and they just act - they don’t speak. That’s the tag - mummers are silent. |

Well, you’d have to consider it.
Ludicrous money if true.
Ain’t gonna happen though. He’ll simply fade into obscurity out west, and he seems like the type of person who likes the Melbourne scene.

They are a bunch of dills, who grand stand with uninformed opinions.
The only part of that which I believe, is that the club probably had in mind, prior to the commencement of this season, re-signing De Goey on about $4-450,000 pa. However, his value has certainly gone through the roof on the back of some terrific performances. I can't see how having to pay an extra $150 grand or so would force us to off load Darcy. That's simply ridiculous...unless of course Darcy wants to leave, which I doubt is the case.
What is possible/probable is that the extra costs of locking in a host of our much improved younger players, may very well make it near impossible to recruit a star player like Lynch. If that's the case, then I'm fine with that. We have enough potential for significant improvement from within our current ranks, and this will be enhanced in this year's draft. |
if its a choice between Darcy and Jordan, ill pack Darcy's bags for him |

Reading between the lines of .buckley’s comments on .talking footy, it sounds as though they are confident that De Goey will sign, and a lot less confident about Moore, who is “frustrated” by his injuries (and blaming the club). That fits with the rumours.

You must of been watching talking footy in another dimension.
Darcy ain’t going anywhere. |

Well, I didn’t watch it, but I was going from the comments published this morning on the CFC website under the headline “the chemistry of the group”. If there was other content related to Moore on the programme, please elaborate.

I couldn’t agree more.
Well, I probably could but it doesn't really seem necessary.
We have - in case some of you STILL haven't noticed - a SHITload of talent. From Lachy Brown to Pendles, we have brilliant players in every stage of their careers, and in every line. We have great talls, maybe the best. Great Backs, Great Scorers, Probably the best mids, easily the best marks, we can match any side in every aspect of the game. We could for 3 years, but couldn’t kick the scores. Now we are, were winning games, we'll be playing finals, and our only foreseeable difficulty will be that damn salary cap business. One of many roadblocks the AFL has found to put in our way to help the interstate start-ups.
De Goey is just one of many whose managers will be looking for more cash next time contracts are up for discussion. Think about guys like Flipper, Shaz, Grundy, Crisp, Maynard, Howe, Thomas, WHE, Cox, Moore, All of whom are showing huge improvement, and then the stars to come, Stevo, Mihocek, Wills, Johnson, Daicos, etc. I'll just about bet the farm these guys & a few more will be elite-level players over the next few years.
This is when we should be busting to get signatures on nice long contracts. Its also when our best option is to find the best kids in the draft, taking advantage of our star recruiter Dekka (who some ppl should be hanging their heads for trashing). He would seem to have done some awfully good work lately. Both our draft picks & trading have been pretty damn incredible in recent years.
Picking up Stevo with a no.6 was amazing, as was Sharenberg (we may never know if Freeman was a good pick). Grundy at pick 18 or thereabouts was even better. In 2014 it was DeGoey, Moore & then Maynard in the 30's. In 2014 we traded for Treloar - which isnt working out too badly, & with what he had he picked up Sier in the 30's, then Phillips at 58, as well as Ben Crocker & Rupert Wills, a certain future star, both in the 60s. Not bad! Wietering was the no.1 pick. Who would you take?
The kids we've picked up in the last 2 are mostly yet to make their mark, except for Stevo & Daicos, and have NO fear, the latter WILL
live up to his iconic (yeah I hate the word too, but this one was a must) name. His skills are absolutely 1st class, & just hearing his name called during a game sends a shiver down the backs of us older Pies!
If any more of Dekkas picks had been instant stars we'd already be in deep salary cap kaka! So just sit back & enjoy this remarkable year when each week seems to bring a new story, and another star. And at the end... Well, if you can still get a good price for the flag grab it!
And Darcy? Are you kidding? The guy got to be part of the song "ring" when he was 10, His ol' Man won a Charlie for us. He's never going anywhere, & whats more he'll be a GUN player for us. With his skill at his height Darcy will be a top 5 player in a year or 2 - Top 5 in the league that is. He reminds me a lot of a young Nick Riewoldt.

| If JDG is harbouring any thoughts of signing on for big dollars at another club, he’d be well advised to pay close attention to the abuse that will be hurled by the Magpie Army at Daisy Thomas during the Carlton game this Sunday. This is what happens when a player leaves Collingwood for the wrong reasons, and JDG may have to endure this sort of treatment every time he plays against Collingwood for the rest of his footy career. |

^ In honesty, I think I could handle any amount of legal verbal abuse (i.e. that won't get one expelled and possibly banned) from an MCG crowd for a sufficient amount of money.
I hope there are better reasons why players don't want to leave. |

Why would you abuse Daisy Thomas. He was offered a sweetheart deal that we were not prepared to match. The fact is that the deal offered by Carton when considering his injury issues was not realistic at any level and he may never have played at even 80% of his capacity ever again. This view is vindicated in the fact that he has only come into form after all these years and the scum are not competitive.
I wish Daisy the best (but not when playing us)
