The Gold Coast rumours have to be complete c.rapHuh? Touhy leaving?? Has that been mooted from the club or anyone?
Like you say, those numbers are more than respectable.
Just as importantly, though, to watch some of the grabs he took and (some of) his kicking at goal told you everything you need to know about his ceiling as a player. Seriously talented, at a level well beyond the brother we all love already.
If he wants to come, it would rank as 'borderline silliness' on our part not to make it happen.
Didn't even realise young Bailey was ooc. Maybe he is coming down the highway
I dont have that view (and i doubt the club would either) its all about whether he fills a list need or not at the right price.
His defensive game needs work but i believe that can be improved. He has a lot of high end afl traits. He wouldnt be my first choice purely because id be chasing mids and a ruck for our list but if he wants to come home no doubt we will chase him
I'm with you, TC. You're bringing in a very talented player who can and will impact the scoreboard, and becomes a basically zero flight risk overnight.I have a weakness for goal kickers so id love to add kid with Herny's type of potential... I would say we have recruited guys before we have needed them before..its what we sort did with Henderson. This year we look at our side ..and struggle to see where he would fit but it was not that long ago ..and we were saying that about ZacG. Form and maturity He is 20. If we picked him at pick him up for p20ish ..could really think there was someone better in the draft than him at that range?
I agree with valuing goal kickers. Defensive duties can be taught, goal and forward sense can’t. Rohan missed a big chunk of the season and isn’t getting younger. Henry would get games next season but it is the seasons after that the club want him for.I have a weakness for goal kickers so id love to add kid with Herny's type of potential...

I think if Henry is coming in it's because Rohan has retired. I don't see Henry asking for a trade to play 2s when he can play 2s just fine at CollingwoodRohan is hardly a guy like Blitz.. History says is no certainty to play 22 games next year. A year of insurance is not such a bad thing

This is our current best forward six:I think if Henry is coming in it's because Rohan has retired. I don't see Henry asking for a trade to play 2s when he can play 2s just fine at Collingwood
Yep, close/miers likely to spent more time further up the ground. Rohan getting on in age. I think he will play a lot of games for us next yearThis is our current best forward six:
HF: Close Cameron Miers
F: Stengle Hawkins Rohan
If I’m Henry that doesn’t worry me.

Some at 20 want the world..other might see the chance to work and push their way in. He has more talent than some in our side id have thought.I think if Henry is coming in it's because Rohan has retired. I don't see Henry asking for a trade to play 2s when he can play 2s just fine at Collingwood
Tuohy is a good player who is still playing well, and a character in the changing room with his wonderfully Irish take on life. I can’t see the club willingly letting him go. Another year and review. And having him will definitely be a factor in trying to get McKenna.It was speculated to an offer by Gold Coast. Im sure if we offered the same as them he would stay... but two years at his age ..at would probably be 300 plus..would have to be considered.
5 of those I think play roles that are not his bag. So it has to be Rohan out Henry in for me. That's if we want the same forward pressure that has seen us. Sure we can set up differently, but is that what we want?This is our current best forward six:

I don’t look at it that way. If Bayley Fritsch was available would we knock him back because he doesn’t play Rohan’s or Miers’ role? There are many ways to skin a cat.5 of those I think play roles that are not his bag. So it has to be Rohan out Henry in for me. That's if we want the same forward pressure that has seen us.

I'm slowly talking myself into it actually

We will let him go for nothing as we treat our players with respect and dignity. Thats why we are a destination club.Tuohy is a good player who is still playing well, and a character in the changing room with his wonderfully Irish take on life.

Tuohy to GC is a vague rumour. Why would they want a 33 year old role player, and why would he want to join a club that can’t make the finals, when the Cats will be playing finals next year?We will let him go for nothing as we treat our players with respect and dignity.

It only makes sense if his second year onwards there is coachingTuohy to GC is a vague rumour. Why would they want a 33 year old role player, and why would he want to join a club that can’t make the finals, when the Cats will be playing finals next year?
Yes. But why does anyone think he wants to coach, and Tuohy has a major return to Ireland risk.It only makes sense if his second year onwards there is coaching
