+1 No idea.
Pendlebury is simply seeing what life at collingwood will be like with Buckley in charge. If he likes, he will stay and if not it will be GWS.
Very clever business move on his part. GWs is building a list that will worry the Swans in a few years.
Ben Reid at the Swans would be a dream.

From what I hear rumour wise GWS is done and dusted for there uncontracted players and have locked up 3 players for the 2013 season and are not looking at getting any more big name players. If the rumours are true they will have goldstein, hurley and pendlebury in 2013. And if true means that all our players are safe. But as always time will tell
GWS have taken a very different approach to recruiting. Wouldn't surprise if they only targetted a very small number of mature players at the end of this year.
Remember, like GCS, they have 30+ very highly rated kids to try and get games into and to fit into their best 22 within 2-3 years. They also have quite a few high draft picks in the 2012 ND.
Whilst they have an inflated but decreasing salary cap for about 5 years, they still need to pay increasing amounts to improving young talent and they have already "burnt" plenty of the excess $ on Scully and co.
So I reckon they will only target 2-3 mature players this year, possibly a good ruckman and a couple of key position players to provide structure whilst the kids develop. We may be safe from a raid.
