Billy Longer to Adelaide for David MacKay

Doubtful. Longer has immense talent, Mackay has zero.

Every Crows supporters proposal's for a trade just crack me up, they are so far off the mark with what they think their players are worth.

[hearts on fire]

is Mackay still playing? wow had no idea.

[PPLions]

Melbourne have delisted James Sellar, Tom Couch, Josh Tynan, Troy davis and Tom Gillies

Tom Couch was highly touted wasnt he?

Runner up in the Liston last year, still young enough to get another crack id imagine.
Now that McKernan has left the Bays they have a spot for a lanky, unskilled player with a pea heart, perhaps Sellar would be welcomed back with open arms

Only by Squids

Bring back Squids for his insightful views on Couch's delisting

Saints members got an email today telling them that the club is in discussions with Nick Dal Santo.
He has a year to run on his contract. Interesting...

There's an old cliche coaches always use prior to a grand final: "You'll never play with this same team again". So, having heard it a few times, I always find it interesting to see what happens to a premiership side following its achievement of the ultimate success. Given recent delistings at Collingwood, I figured it was worth looking through the 2010 list to see what's happened since:

Collingwood list in 2010 premiership year

Still on list:
Luke Ball, Dayne Beams, Nathan Brown, Travis Cloke, Tyson Goldsack, Brent Macaffer, Nick Maxwell, Harry O'Brien, Scott Pendelbury, Ben Reid, Heath Shaw, Steele Sidebottom, Ben Sinclair, Dane Swan, Dale Thomas, Josh Thomas, Alan Toovey, Jarryd Blair (r) Lachlan Keefe (r).

2010 departures:
Retired: Tarkyn Lockyer, Paul Medhurst, Shane O'Bree, Simon Prestigiacomo, Sean Rusling; Traded: John Anthony – to Freo (delisted 2012), Josh Fraser – to Gold Coast 2010 (retired 2012);
Delisted: Jaxson Barham, Jarrad Blight, Ryan Cook, Anthony Corrie; Rookies: Jack Carter, Tristan Francis, Tom Hunter.

2011 departures:
Retired: Leigh Brown. Traded: Brad Dick - to West Coast 2011 (delisted 2013); John McCarthy – to Port Adelaide 2011 (died 2012); Delisted: Leon Davis.

2012 departures:
Traded: Chris Dawes - to Melbourne, Sharrod Wellingham – to West Coast; Delisted: Simon Buckley, Luke Rounds, Cameron Wood.

2013 departures:
Retired: Ben Johnson; Delisted: Alan Didak, Darren Jolly.

Bolded names – premiership players.
(R) – Rookie listed at time of flag

Leigh Brown's retirement had the biggest impact on structure IMO.

[Gozu]

Gold Coast's Jared Brennan has retired.

[MatteeG]

Couch is a gun, will def get picked up elsewhere.

LMAO- yep maybe Marion will take him back...

[Johno6]

Brownlow is more likely to win a couch....

Carlton apparently offered Brent Staker a 2 year deal, has been spotted at Visy park getting a tour!

Brisbane Lions Supporters will be cheering.

I thought Staker held his own up there... Didn't do too bad in the games he played.

Anyway Dusty Martin is now up for trade discussion after quitting the tigers today!

I've been told that Dal Santo has told family he expects to end up at Carlton.
Only a rumour, not sure how valid.

If they want an injection of pace to their midfield Im not sure this move would address it

Dal Santo that quick?

[Baron Greenback]

Lions delisted 4 today.
Cal Bartlett, Patrick Wearden, Stephen Wrigley and Niall McKeever.
Noone of any real significance although I do feel for Bartlett, who was just coming good after 2 knee recons.
Interesting they've done this before appointing a coach.

Matt Thomas perhaps a bit unlucky, probably get another opportunity elsewhere.

Surprised to see Hitchcock made the cull.
