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

[Kangaroos4eva]

With all this Levi talk, what l don't understand is why nobody will take Anthony and a third rounder, with a large packet of chicken twisties on offer. What's wrong with afl clubs these days, l don't know, l don't understand the world anymore. Back to stressing everyone.

No love for Brad there.

This must have been edited out:

'Thanks Brad for leaving me out to dry in the Elimination final playing some shit role while we were getting pantsed in the middle and making me look good when it dawned on your to move one of your best midfielders, I dunno, into the midfield and made you look like a champ for making a captain obvious match winning move.'

 

[Kimbo]

I had a dream last night that I was in a huddle playing with North in 2015 and Levi was addressing us.

He will stay.

Whether I get a game is another story....

Fills me with confidence, thanks Gaso.

 

[Gasometer]

Look in the end I am not fussed about what we get and don't get if he goes.

What will hurt is that for the past 3 years I have cheered him on.

Just reminds me of how much heart ache it was to see Schwatta leave despite loving Shagga just as much.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Saturday Walsh said that we'd know in 72 hours.

Says to me we will know becuase it is the time frame agreed to by the club.

Saturday + 72 hours = Tuesday.

Correct math = Levi will remain a Roo.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

He can join Collingwood's fleet of short people. I wonder if getting tattoos and knocking half your teeth is a prerequisite for a collingwood contract.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Speech just confirmed both he, cunnington and swallow need to acquire media skills/training asap. Nothing else. Move along

Nothing wrong with Spitta's media performances. Cunnington and Levi are just not comfortable public speaking, and there are plenty in our team who would be more suited to it anyway.

Petrie, Lachie, Wellsy, Thomas, Harvey, Goldy, Scooter, Narni, Nahas and Brown all speak really well, Loogie is the most surprising, but speaks very well and intelligently.

For the record I have nothing against the players. But spittas was terrible especially for a captain

Peter Mann i had forgotten about him. I never understood why him and Peter bell went off to freo p

This is all playing out like Peter ******* Mann for those old enough to remember....that worked out well for him...

 

[the big lebowski]

Someone mentioned making Levi go to the PSD.

If he really chooses Collingwood

Would it be an option our club would seriously look at if we don't get a satisfactory trade ?

id hope so. need to be reasonable but at the same time you have to do what is best for the club long term. that might mean making an example of levi and ensuring he goes into the PSD where the go dees, or bulldogs could pick him up.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Speech has no bearing for mine.

I've been adamant that he was going to stay but after a meeting on the weekend and 24 hours later he still has to think about an improved offer....think he's gone.

If he does go, I wish him well but if anything past pick 20 is offered he can walk straight to the Saints in the PSD.

Yep, if he's that keen to go he can spend the rest of his career holding the ladder up for us.

I like this theory. *fingers crossed*

You'll fetch them water, aye waterboy.

That being said, I was 100% he was gonna stay, but now I'm at about 70%...but I usually have no idea on these things...so make that 100%

I don't doubt that there's a difference, but Beams has never really impressed me that much. He's never been the difference between Collingwood winning or losing, not that I've seen, but then I don't watch a lot of the Pies I'll admit.

Yeah, you clearly have watched very, very little of Collingwood, particularly over the last three years. He's been a prime mover for us when fit over that time.

Beams has played a few very good individual games against North Melbourne over time too:

Round 2, 2011 - http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/fts_match_statistics?mid=5156&sby=14#t1
Round 21, 2012 - http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/fts_match_statistics?mid=5519&sby=14#t1
Round 5, 2014 - http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/fts_match_statistics?mid=5794&sby=14#t1

Reality check for you mate.10 words for you:

Not good enough to get selected ahead of Ben Jacobs.

You're comparing apples to oranges. We didn't play Jacobs as an inside midfielder, but we will need another one if Greenwood decides to leave, due to team balance.

I dont understand either, wouldn’t we get the packet of twisties and a 3rd rounder as a sweetener for someone taking him off our hands?

Its one of life's great mysteries my friend, l'll never understand.

Hmm so we might need another tough inside with some outside disposal talent? Trent Dumont anyone?

 

[Roosurgence]

Well Beams is clearly a better player, so he's worth more, obviously.

I'm not saying Greenwood is worth "just" a second rounder. I've said earlier in the thread I think he should get something in the 15-25 range, late first, early second. Was just making the point that quality players can still be selected in the second round.

Beams is considered a far better player because he plays for Collingwood, pure and simple. If Greenwood had the same year in a Collingwood jumper they would be calling him a superstar.

If Beams is worth pick 4 and more according to Collingwood then Levi at least commands a pick between 10 and 20.

 

[justroyal]

Dumont, Jacobs, Bastinac, Higgins, Harvey, Dal Santo, Wells, Ziebell, Cunnington, Mc Donald, Swallow. Fine if he wants to leave, their is about 11 reasons not to worry. And more if we have atley or mullet playing supportive roles.

Get all we can and put it towards speed

Please...

Not exactly.

If Beams is worth pick 4 and more according to Collingwood then Levi at least commands a pick between 10 and 20.

Yeah, and I'm saying Greenwood is worth roughly the same value you are giving him, or just a bit lower, around 15-25.

Agree, although i doubt Collingwood will settle for just pick 4. Not sure what they'll get, but they'll get something on top of it. Therefor i believe Greenwood and our second rounder is worth pick 4. Fair enough we may not get that, but its fair imo. Besides that id settle for 10-14 anything less and its off the PSD with him for mine.

After finally having a chance to watch Levi's speech I feel he is gone too. It was the fact that there was no acknowledgement of his coach. This tells me he resents the two years in and out of the side. This I fear is too much for him to mentally overcome.
