List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

[Jen2310]

Sidebottom is not out of contract. He said at least twice in interviews last year that's he's contracted for "a couple" more years, and no one seems to have picked up on it.

No, but given it was not "officially" announced, they'll keep putting him on the list.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Sidebottom hasn't had a contract officially announced by the club since about 2016. I think we should take it from the horse's mouth here.

Anyone else keen on Harry Himmelberg as a free agent? Can play at both ends.

Add Mitch McGovern to that list of players out of contract at seasons end , I know it hasn’t quite worked out for the Blose , gotta love that , 5 year contract at $800 k per season signed at the end of the 2018 season. Still only 27 years of age , if he can get his body right , he is worth a shot if the price is right ,good in the air , great kick , can play back or forward at a good standard when he is switched on .

We have depth. We now want to focus on quality - to improve, and to replace ageing stars.

 

[Scodog10]

Disappointing list.

However a couple of handy role players on that list… but with the way contracts are broken now… those can be picked up elsewhere if needed

It’s a realistic list. In the decade we’ve had FA the only two player’s that have moved the dial were Franklin and Lynch (don’t rate Daniher). The best targets almost exclusively come from contracted players.

FA is a lame duck in AFL footy because the elite players don’t get paid enough compared to the rung below. Until we introduce something like marquee contracts or reduce the years experience qualification it’ll never be more than a bespoke list management tool.

With Howe 33 by years end Matrix10 suggestion has plenty of merit. The only Q for me is his body? Trade price will be minimal. On a side note anyone else seen the footage of Harley Reid training with Essendon? Need to find a way to get pick 1

[whiskeytown]

Both McGovern boys seem to enjoy their food

Then again… swanny used to run around like that and rack up 30

 

[Matt_352]

Of the free agents the one I'm keen on is Ben McKay. A quality key fwd would be handy.

Myth.

 

[Pistol Night]

Myth.

Swanny would actually get from contest to contest as good as anyone. The unlimited rotations when he could go like hell for 6 or 7 minutes and have a breather were his go

 

[Forethought]

Ben McKay come on down…

Great Call.
Anyone for Harry Him @ 26 , 195cm ? At the right price playing along side Moore

 

[whiskeytown]

I stick by my call the F/A list is uninspiring…

I also think the club doesn’t need much more mature age talent added to the list bar maybe a decent mature age ruck… who play in the case Cameron and Cox are injured

I have no faith in Begg making it as an afl ruck

And though the Steene may have talent… I see now point in having two project rucks.

I quite like Doedee as an interceptor.

Steene is a 1st Ruckman where Begg is like a KPP that can Ruck a bit as the 2nd Ruckman

 

[Quicky]

heck mate warn a bloke first!

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

* mate warn a bloke first!

There's a reason they call him Brackets.

IS jade gresham a chance of ever getting his body right? That guy had serious tricks

Yeah I think Steene has to be a chance for an SSP selection now especially if DC is in doubt for early season.

I heard Steene was just ahead on tuesday, then you imagine the gap would have widened after yesterday. Even if DC's injury is minor.. just the mere thought something could happen again would be enough to pull the trigger. I was also chatting to Fraser last night at VFL training, who sees Steene with huge upside, and lots of talent to burn. He's been working with him closely.
