Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

[Lums23]

I'm just glad Collingwood haven't heard they can get him as a free agent

 

[Twinkletoes]

North don't need to do anything. I'm sure we would like to but we don't need to do sh*t.

He said that in answering a direct question about how Greenwood now gets to Collingwood.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

We will not get pick 5, even as an upgrade from 15.

If we get pick 22 on its way round from Melbourne to Collingwood and save the money and the spot, we'll be fine. More would be nice, but let's not get silly and wind up disappointed.

Pickering on radio saying North handled it poorly by taking too long to make a reasonable offer. That gave other clubs time to get involved. Made no bones about the fact that North blew it. Look forward to hearing Norths version.

 

[Roobound]

Not the craziest post on the thread.

I do not want to be on that judging panel.......

 

[muttley45]

At least Levi wont be able to trot out the old " I left to play in a premiership " line, it was purely a business decision

 

[Roobound]

Trade still has to happen still

What would you propose if fair value TD?

 

[Event Horizon]

Ok serious question:

Levi sits behind Swallow, Cunners and JZ .... i think thats clear

Should we have offered our 4th string inside mid 450k and 4 years?

Agree with your general sentiment. But to be fair, his ground coverage is way better than Ziebell's. Jack's pedigree as inside mid is questionable at the minute, because he isn't clean enough inside and doesn't get to as many contests.

I sure bloody hope he won't.

 

[Ry009]

a lot of animosity here towards a player for making a sensible professional decision.?

Best of luck to him and understand players have a short lifespan in the game and need to make the best of it, but the balance of contract/success wasn't enough to leave IMO and clearly didn't think he had the ability to maximize his earning potential after the 3 years we would have given him.

I thought he was reasonable in answering the question personally.

 

[Tas]

Don't have a crack at Greenwood, it is best for his career. He only really got the opportunity this year due to significant midfielder injuries.

 

[speedy]

We got to go hard for pick 5 now, and give ourselves a chance of drafting top end talent.

Greenwood, tarrant, pick 16 to pies
Norths 2nd pick, Beams to brisbane
Pick 5 and brisbanes 2nd pick to north
??????

Bullshit Liam.

What does it matter how long it took and how many other clubs were involved?

He either accepted the new deal, or didnt.

He certainly bagged us.

"It's believed the Magpies have offered Greenwood a four-year deal worth $1.8 million."

Good luck to the man I say. We have the depth to replace him now, and we can develop a new kid.

 

[Smoocher]

Has Dumont shown enough at lower level to indicate he can replace Greenwood in the coming years? Could be the club believes Dumont can be the extra inside md if we need him.
Either way Collingwood should give up pick 5 for Greenwood. Beams is a better player and that is why Collingwood is asking Pick 5 plus a decent player. We are simply asking pick 5.

Nobody is going to give us shit for Tarrant, he almost retired this year.

It is better to target a Collingwood player who is a need for us.

I think people are expecting Collingwood to fall away they have more stock pile of 1st round players than North do waiting to come in.
Going to Collingwood is not a backward step for Levi injuries culled them this year. They would be on the same level as North l would think.
People are dreaming if they think a preliminary final finish is where the list is really at, for mine we would be the 5th-6th best team with an upwood trend trying to stay ahead of 4 other clubs at best.

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Two years ago was Brad's favorite, had a BOG 39 posse Round 22 against the Dees and then fallen off the cliff. Still can't quite see where it has come from.

Weirdly, there is nothing in this thread from that time. I know it was the last round of the season and half the board probably logged off for six months, but you'd think someone would have made a toast thread or somthing.

 

[ohh_v]

We're going to get shafted in any trade.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Can someone photoshop a Collingwood jumper onto a photo of Sam Gibson and post it on the Pies board. I'd love to know how many of them figure it out.

I guess we'll see, but I think you're over-rating Collingwood there. They are going to get worse before they get better IMO.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I just want to know what happened to Levi in the off-season after he had 38 touches against Melbourne in the final round.

He should have had a ripper year after that instead of 3? years in the wilderness.

Getting those 50 undeserved games into so many players isn't helping so much now is it?

Other than finishing top 4 this year......no, not really.

 

[Gasometer]

****ing hopeless North.

The worst case of mishandling I have seen since we drafted Graham Cornes for half a season.

Call us armchair critics on BF or whatever you like but for 3 years many of us on here have been singing Levi's praises and the lack of offering him something earlier in the year when it was obvious he had hit some form acceptable to Match Comittee was negligent to the extent that now he has been given offers he can't refuse.

Totally disgraceful, disappointing and frustrating.
