Prediction 2017 Free Agency & Trading - go to the Gibbs thread if you wish to discuss Gibbs!!!

[baldandbroke]

What he has achieved so far isn't why clubs are offering 750k - 850k for him. If collingwood want to pay a 21 year old big dollars then they should be prepared pay something decent in a trade. I think you've ignored the part where we're giving back this years first. As for Gibbs, I'd ask for the same deal if he went to carlton.

Yep, missed that Swapping 17/18 for 5/6 seems a bit rich still to me ... could be wrong.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Most of those comments were as I said, why would he want to stay not that there was news that Doedee was unhappy and wanted to go.

Yep, my thinking that he may go was completely based on the fact that he had not got a game in 2 years and was out of contract, not that he was unhappy. Given that situation, it reasonable to think a player may seek other opportunities.

Just something I heard over in Melbourne on the weekend about McGovern that didn't give me any confidence that he was staying.

What you hear?

 

[Sanders]

Yes they did. Many went with thee story he wanted out.

If it were that many finding 3-4 should take no time at all

We'll wait

 

[Sanders]

No Im not. Im not saying you said it but others on here did and get stuffed trawling through all the posts looking for specific ones. Not something I have the time or care for.

You do have a history of big statements and no follow through

 

[Bicks]

What you hear?

I was in Melbourne on the weekend too, never heard nada, must move in the wrong circles I guess....

Useless. Bloody useless.

 

[spenze]

Rumour ---- not fact

As heard:
Pending on what happens with Buckley there is strong interest on one of our star forwards & one of our coaches but if Collingwood don't overhaul the coaching bench we are likely to retain the forward
whispers we will be after a top contracted midfielder & talks of trade have been happening for 2 months
i believe there is bigger issues in the background with collingwood and fremantle than what has been reported (some serious games played)

I have been told to keep an eye on what happens to Buckley, last time i was told this eade was gone soon after as well as the top management overhaul

Jenkins and Campo?

 

[Bicks]

Useless. Bloody useless.

had my ear to the ground too, all I ended up with was a dirty ear....go figure..

 

[RodnyDangrfield]

These comments about Sidebottom are laughable to say the least. He is an a grader; elite foot skills on both sides, tank and decision maker. Douglas is a solid b grader. Plus it's all moot as he's contracted until the end of time.

 

[SnakesLadders]

Other than Sidebottom who would be a good fit from CW ?

Curious to hear opinions

De Goey

 

[Danger in Texas]

De Goey

This is the other one I can think of

De Goey is going to be an out and out jet

You need to consider who is making them

He would fit well with the crouch brothers

Another 4 contracts announced today and once again no one here or in the media had any inclination that they were happening. Same happened with Greenwood too.
People with real solid sources would have been onto it already.

So we should listen to the club when they tell is not to believe everything we read in the media ?

It's happening.gif

 

[Squiba]

We'd give Degoey substantially more midfield time, and the bloke has a lot of potential. Would take him for a straight swap and a swap of firsts in a heart beat. Otherwise Degoey and collingwood's second would be great.

My source says:

- unchanged team this week
- Lever is gone and we'll accept unders at the trade table
- we're eyeing off a defender with our 1st round pick
- Thommo will move straight into a coaching role

You heard it here first.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Is Lever or McGovern actually any chance to come to collingwood? Or is it the typical every player attached to Collingwood.

That's not from a source, that's purely gut instinct !!

Lever would be

McGovern less likely. Think he'd be WA or stay.

To be honest though I'm less worried about Collingwood than some other clubs given where the list seems to be at with Wells/Mayne plus the coaching situation. Not sure it would be as enticing a destination as previously.

 

[ams4crows]

This is bullshit, screw this accept unders stuff! 2 first rounders or pre season draft I'm sick of this shit, players can't just demand to be traded to the club of their choice and that club just says here's pick 14 thanks for the development.

 

[Pea Nut]

Changing tune for a minute, any interest in trying to pick up Jonty Scharenberg this year ?? Potentially in the rookie draft ??
