List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[jenniferHAWKinS]

I suspect we will chase quality young midfielders (under 23's) moving forward and not guys like Sidey.

 

[MinerBoy]

Surely a pipedream? When was the last time a Collingwood player crossed to Hawthorn? I actually can't recall one.

Woods, Hassell

Woods, Hassell

Johnny Hassell, gee he was small.. Played at Greenvale for years, was a similar player there as he was at Hawthorn.

We also got the great Bo Nixon

Played school footy against him ( he went to Assumption ) and dead set he was a star.. One of the best juniors I can remember

 

[HairyO]

Well how the feck are they going to be able to pay all these guys? Surely our cash would easily surpass the Pie offer? Anyway, one can dream, he is a brilliant player albeit very very outside.

Eddie runs a multi billion dollar media empire. I think he can find some coin for his players.

 

[moginie]

Mirboo North might give him a run.

There has also been some interest from Wingfield Royals.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

We should be targeting the likes of O'Meara and Prestia and that's it

Exactly if we want to stay at the top. If we can not get them (elite players) then go to the draft. Lake, Gunston, Burgoyne and Gibbo have all been elite grabs. Hale to a lesser extent but brilliant at the role he was recruited for.

 

[Rocket72]

Ahh.. My topic of choice keeps popping up
I couldn't agree more in that if he's taken as a stop gap player he's done. He has said himself that there are things that can be improved in his game; speed, agility, dropping a few kgs are all things that can be changed during pre season to maximise his potential.

Did he play most of his VFL games forward or back Rocket?

Forward

Cegs? Or was that more a case of him being delisted by the Pies and we picked him up?

 

[JustKickIt]

Mirboo North might give him a run.

Caroline Springs is recruiting ;-)

Kevin Coghlan, in the 50s, Ian Bremner in the late 60s, and more recently ruckmen Brock and Cegs. There may be more. However our best pie import is Gavin Wright.

Of course that should be Graham Wright. Thanks for the correction MB.

What about Graham Wright?

That's age catching up, MB, typed Gavin, wrong Wright, right?

Tony Woods?

Tony Woods?

He was a handy pick up.

so, two wrights was wrong?

 

[Steven Tyler]

The best Pie we ever picked up was draft pick no.7 in the 2004 National Draft!
Turned him into a ripper!

 

[Prudster]

As a free agent, with our ageing midfield, Sidebottom would be an amazing addition.

He would be an okay addition. He doesn't fill the need for an elite midfielder to replace Hodge/Mitchell. He's more on the Shiels level, which is nice, but he's probably not the guy who leads your midfield to a premiership.

Offer Wines 5 x $800k. And flags.

Wines then has a chat with Wingard and he accepts 5 x $800k the following year.

Adjust prices for the new media deal.

Guess I rate him more than most here. He's not the elite bottom of a pack type we're gonna need but he makes everything run much more smoothly.

The 'holy grail' better do a lot more than make everything run more smoothly! I'm not saying he's not a good player, but for the amount he'll cost, and the fact he won't be that midfield leader, he really isn't the pinnacle of who we should target.

Considering he'd be a free agent, and what we'd have to trade to get anyone better than him, I'd say landing him would be the best possible outcome I could see happening.

Maybe Goldstein will join us to avoid getting punched in the head by Lewis every time he plays us.

Came down to training at the junior team that I coach not long after the Lewis hit and asked him about it. He responded "At least each time he is getting closer to the ball" hahaha
