List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2022--> PART 2

[Quicky]

McEvoy would be our best ruckman if we brought him in. He already has a ruck/ruck rover connection with Mitchell too.

Agree - seems like a good option, especially if: we can get him for minimum chips and we don't invest in an emerging/development ruck in the draft

Didn't he have quite a serious neck injury?

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Who is David Cunnington?

NFI, the only Cunnington I know is Kelvin.

 

[Harry O]

Whilst there might have been some great battles… The VFL game you refer to still saw Moyle dominate

View attachment 1548435

He’s a level above Begg imo

I was there live. Thought Begg was more than competitive on day

 

[Roverjg]

Didn't he have quite a serious neck injury?

Yes. Suffered a broken neck in March. Has chronic pain

[magpies42]

Parish, McKay etc are a dream

Realistically from that list though I think Fiorini and Bonner are the most likely from a point of attainability, cost and lack of a bidding war for services

Either offer some ready made midfield and defensive depth… whether they succeed or not is another question

And Fly has this year shown interest in such ready made options now that we are contending

We need A Grade quality not second tier players. Pass

Is he a pain in the neck?

Lol

I’m just saying what I think is more likely given none of our recent arrivals in Lipinski, mcstay, hill Frampton… and one could argue as he’s past his best (but still very good) Mitchell are not A grade players

The list management are now more into plugging gaps… not going all out on ‘star’ players

Ned Guy addressed our cap in two ways - the high profile trades and culling all our depth. Wright has had to address three things, salary cap, depth and a big hole in a particular age group. I'd suggest that he's a fair way down the road of addressing all three. What we do next is unknown, but I suspect that we're now in a position to look at the top shelf of recruits.

There must be lots of spots on the top shelf to accommodate us with our modest selections.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Naismith? Is he worth a rookie spot as an older ruckman?

 

[KinderSmock]

Not with his knees.

Yes because we tried the star approach with Treloar and Beams and it didn't work. We can have Lipinski, Kreuger, Hill, McStay, Frampton and Mitchell for less than the price we paid for Treloar and Beams.

It was about future trades and free agents - not the draft.

Treloar and Beams different beasts. Treloar offloaded against his will. Beams (mk 2) a total flop and an indictment on those who pushed for his return.

That's what happens when you dip in and out of threads - you lose track of it all.

That reinforces the point though, we’ve loaded up on that type of player already, and now we need A graders. We won’t know what we need until we see how our experiments from this years trade and free agency period work out.

 

[MyManLynch]

It’s my guess what they will do… given what they have done.

Not my endorsement. Comprehending the point I’m making is the place to start

You don’t think that might be more about the circumstances of the salary cap, state of the list and player availability?

 

[whiskeytown]

Certainly…

but it could also be a case of them having learnt in recent years that luring star players like Beams… free agent or not… comes at a contractual price and with its own set of risks

Just a thought. Would love for them to bring in a parish, Serong, etc

Just think it’s unlikely

We didn’t drop Grundy to bring in Fiorini, we should be looking to lure a big fish.

Who wants a muscled-up ‘bull’? Axed Tiger piles on kilos in search for new home

I would prefer we took him over Husthwait, never really got a go with Richmonds midfield
