Collingwood clicks.

In the old newspaper sense, I remember when I first started way back at the sun as it was, Chief, it was a period of time where a bad Collingwood story is still better than the next best story.

Yeah.

It's just a law in media here in Australia, and Craig knows that as well.

And there is intrigue, and it is an interesting scenario as to what they're doing with this list, with the ageing people on it and the decision to go again.

And I said, we've had this conversation ourselves on the Friday Huddle this year, Chief.

I still feel they're going to shape the composition of the eight.

They might even still make it in the wildcard since.

I know they've lost a couple of matches since we spoke about it last, but...

They're always having a crack at winning the game of footy while behind the scenes, Brownie, they are having a look at how the list does look going into 2027.

Lockie Neal, will he be at Collingwood?

They're into him.

Yeah.

And that fits the purpose because it doesn't require any draft collateral to get him as a free agent.

Not as convinced that that will be the outcome for Ben King, but that, again, that type of person being a free agent is one they're after.

Just before we finish, overall final thoughts on the Socceroos, the 0-0 draw earlier on today versus Paraguay.

So they go next week to Dallas.

Cowboy Stadium is where they'll be playing, Dan.

So that is something to look forward to.

Do we just take the 0-0 draw and move on?
