    I wondered the same thing. Maybe a none-too-subtle message to the rest of the list?

      Surely because they thougth there would be no interest in them , Jolly maybe going to Dees aside i dont think the other 2 will be looked at elsewhere. On top of that they possibly have 3 others that theyll want to be concentrating on in Shaw,Thomas and O'Brien. I think theyll lose Shaw and O'Brien which may free up enough cash for them to hold onto Thomas.

        I said in an earlier post that I thought Jolly would not go to Melbourne as they already had ruckman Max Gawn, Mark Jamar and Jake Spencer on their list. Add that they have forward targets Mitch Clark and Jack Fitzpatrik who can also ruck.

        If Jolly is to be taken by Melbourne the Swans should have a look at Max Gawn or Mark Jamar!

          If we trade Mummy it means that we only want to play the Pyke/Tippett ruck-forward combo instead of 3. So why would we pick up another 1st string ruckman, as they'll just be a backup playing in the reserves.

            DK, ignore Matt80 and the Jolly suggestion. I think he's just stirring up trouble.

            Mrs Jolly would never come back to Sydney anyway.

              If Mumford goes we need another ruckman to balance the list! If Pyke was to be injured you would be left with Tippett, White or Naismith to carry the ruck! If two of White, Tippett, Pyke or Naismith were injured you would be in serious trouble, probably be playing Fremantle next round.

              If not Jolly, then another ruckman who costs less than Mumford and is happy to wait for his turn in the reserves!

              Who else would you consider Billy apart from Jolly?

                How about Mark Seaby or Cameron Wood?

                  I prefer your Demon suggestions.

                  If Collingwood can't find any value in him as a top up then I think that he is not worth pursuing.

                  His wife couldn't get out of Sydney fast enough the first time.

                  I'm sure the Swans won't let Mumford going if they didn't have a very good reason and more importantly an alternative option in place.

                    Exactly billy ray. All this talk of Mumford leaving amazes me.

                    IMO he's a keep at all costs player and the club should do everything it can to keep him.

                    We have no ruck coverage if Mumford goes. Tippet is a fwd and White isn't the answer. Pyke can't do it all on his own and his form dropped off later in the year when Mumford was injured
                    From what I can see Mumford wants to stay at Sydney so the club needs to accommodate his financial wishes provided they are not excessive

                      I think he wants to leave the wife behind.

                          Come on boys, no more smart comments on this, post-natal depression is a cruel illness for everyone concerned. It's not to be made fun of.

                            Word is we offered Mummy 2years and he wants 4. Hutchy on fc tonight said Perris was offered a 2year rookie spot but has nominated for the draft instead.

                              If true, I wonder if they'll add him onto the Combine list. He didn't get an invite originally, presumably because most clubs assumed he'd just be going to the Swans.

                                Is Perris good enough to go straight onto a senior list? Would he get a senior game next year?
