COLLINGWOOD is bracing for more speculation about a key player leaving next season.
The Magpies are aware midfielder Dale "Daisy" Thomas will be the target of free-agency speculation unless he re-signs.
"We've got Dale Thomas who has got another 12 months of a contract and then he becomes a restricted free agent," coach Nathan Buckley said yesterday.
"There's going to be one story in the next 12 months that becomes bigger than others because it becomes the free agent story of the year.
"Now, Collingwood has probably had that two out of three years.
"Pendles (Scott Pendlebury) was big in the first year of GWS (Giants), and Clokey (Travis Cloke) was big.
"And Collingwood's a big club and we know we're going to get a lot of speculation about us."
Buckley said he had no doubt Cloke's form this year was affected by the constant speculation.
"A lot of people would choose to neglect to consider the fact that he has taken a hit (financially) to stay, but the club was really keen on not bending to a point where we had to butcher our list by keeping one bloke," Buckley told SEN.
Collingwood's pre-season training starts on November 21, with senior players returning a week later.
