Aaron Naughton is the prize recruit that I would be very happy to bring to Collingwood. He would add the marking power in the forward line that we are lacking at present.

Where is the 2 top ten picks you would need to get that deal done?

Have we had any indications that that's the case? He's on the extended bench, which at least suggests that he's not totally in the dog house, but I wouldn't necessarily assume he's in the 23.

The fact is, since the umpires stopped giving any frees to Ginni, his goal output dried up considerably. He is still a skilful high impact goal sneak, but since the arrival of Bobby Hill, he is no longer automatically in our best 23.

Look this output of goals from free kicks is not the only reason for his dry spell. In Castlemaine footy, he kicked multiple goals from playing good football and being evasive and mercurial in his ability to score. I think that he is down on confidence and that can be remedied. Class is permanent.

Collingwood is interested in 30 year old Port Adelaide ruckman, Scott Lycett
Hard to image why we would want such a trade but...

"...Lycett is an unrestricted free agent in 2023 and wouldn't cost the Magpies any trade capital. The veteran tall played a key role in the 2018 Grand Final for West Coast, defeating Collingwood before making the switch to Port Adelaide."

We will be linked to many, many players in the coming months.

We are Collingwood, that's what click-bait journos do.

Already this week linked to Scott Lycett and Max Holmes.

Neither will end up at Collingwood.

We have Cameron, Cox, Begg, Steene, Frampton and McStay- none are likely to retire.

Geelong would be insane to trade a very good young mid to a chief rival.

Wait for more news around other players from other clubs desperate to come to Collingwood...

You won't be waiting long...

Mind you, if we win the flag, guys like Ben McKay might want out of a lower-ranked club to have a shot at a premiership...
Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...

^^^^

I fully agree. The player managers have been using this “interest from Collingwood” bullshit for years and honestly, we should all know this by now and ignore it as crap. I only get excited when a deal is done and dusted. Until then it’s a grain of salt stuff and time for skepticism.

Ash Johnson to shun interest from opposition clubs & remain loyal to Collingwood. Ash will re-commit to the Pies in a new deal to be announced shortly.

Great news. I'm a real fan of the exciting Ash Johnson.
Let him entertain the Magpie hordes for many years to come.

Seriously no!
