Well,
My mail is that Gehrig had given Micky Malthouse his word that he would join collingwood.

Until something happend early this week.

It just so happens that Ron Joseph is Malcolm Blights manager as well as Fraser Gehrigs.

What Ron and Malcolm have said to Fraser seems to have worked.
My sources seem to say that Fraser decided today to reject the original offer from collingwood that he accepted a couple of weeks ago and to accept St-Kilda.

Before Malcolm decided to accept St-kilda's coaching position he actually consulted as to what type of players st-kilda needed and Gehrig was one of them.

I HOPE TO GOD MY SOURCES ARE WRONG ON THIS ONE.

Here's a scenario for you all:

PRE-SEASON DRAFT:
#1: St Kilda picks Fraser Gehrig
#2: Collingwood picks Mal Michael

...and pays him $100 a game.

? can we trade our pre season draft pick no.2?
I think the Holland/Clements+22 in return for no.8
is a good deal but dont think #3 should be given up
under any circumstances !!!!!!!!!!

Gherig seems to be in it for the money. I'm not too sure about him anymore. Yeah, sure he would have been an extra option down forward but he would probably turn out be as inconsistent as the rest of them.

And its too bad we couldn't pay Mal $100. The bloody AFLPA would have done something about that long ago, sort of minimum wages sort of thing.

No you can't trade your pre-season picks. You can pass on 'em but, you can't trade.
