List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

It might be hard to juggle working for the UN and footy.

Well, we've got Krueger going to NASA to see if they can rebuild him, we might as well let Flanders go to the UN if it helps

 

[Jen2310]

The Giants have even more reasons to celebrate on Saturday with key forward Jake Riccardi putting pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the club.

Geelong played him in defence and he was terrible. Doesn't have any footy smarts to play defence

Thats not correct. They were playing him at CHB and FB because he was always getting injured forward of the ball. Cats were very happy with him down. They were upset when he left. Since he has been with us we have played him forward and is injured nearly every game he plays as he was at the Cats

absolutely nailing his role of splitting ruck and key forward. Great player.

 

[Drought Break]

Maybe we are on Top because the alarm in your post is exaggerated?

No exaggeration. I reckon any supporter with half a brain would realise we have a slow midfield with most of the players I listed close to the end of their careers.

My understanding was the cats played him in defence because there wasn’t a spot available up forward with Hawkins and Cameron. Kreuger prefers the forwardline though and that’s one of the reasons why he wanted to move here.

 

[No SPIN]

Definitely an exaggeration, given we have emerging midfielders who’ve won the last 3 draft sprints in Allen, HH and Reef.

Not to mention burst stoppage players at the peak of their careers in JDG, Naicos, Crisp

 

[Apex36]

If we are after Flanders, I also want Hollands. Package them up together.

Probably willing to offer up our first for both with some kind of combo of later (third/fourths) coming back our way.

Our first pick is likely going to be in the 20’s. I’d give that for Flanders alone and it would still be a bargain.

 

[gouki88]

Over the last 6 games Flanders has averaged 30 disposals, 5 clearances, 3 tackles, 6 score involvements, 7 ground ball gets and a fantasy score of approx. 107.

Harrison and Reef are emerging forwards. They're not going to solve any pace issue in our midfield anytime soon.

Can anyone who watches Footscray VFL tell me a bit about McLean?

And Ratugolea was playing forward at the time.

kicked another 8 goals for GC yesterday in the VFL.

 

[legendstatus]

So who'll run out and play for us if we're sacking all of those guys, some of our best and most consistant performers?

Straughnie?

Let you spin for a while and you can work it out. Not an exact science but thoughts, so chill.

 

[Captain Embubry]

Flanders is number 1 on my wish list for us next year. Kid is an absolute stud and would help set our midfield up for years.

His asking price will have significantly increased in the past couple of months. Not sure our first alone would be enough right now

I don’t think it ever was

 

[Jen2310]

Harrison and Reef are emerging forwards. They're not going to solve any pace issue in our midfield anytime soon.

Neither will be full time forwards. Both already spending time in the midfield
Reef, when he gets his tank up, will be 40/60 mid forard, or 50/50
Harrison Probably that half forward that floats around the midfield in general play with some centre bounces.

He plays reliable footy each week and normally is the best on ground or second best on ground, depending on how Jordan Sweet goes. Both are well above VFL standard. However, the dogs have too forwards to select. Suspect he's not on the "selection list" at the Dogs. In stark contrast, James O'Donnell is nearly a lock every week.

I remember he was showing some promise like, 5 years ago

He did his ACL in 2020 and hasn't really returned to AFL level since. One of those cheapies in 2021 Fantasy but didn't live up to it.

He is a premiership player, too.

I see Harrison eventually becoming a full-time midfielder. He's developing endurance and working on finding the ball more. Once he does that, it'll be in the middle - he really excels through there when given the chance.

 

[KinderSmock]

Since Dew left, Flanders has been a ridiculous acquisition for my fantasy team. I know it's fantasy but the kid went from not playing or barely putting up 60 to scoring well reliable 90+ this week. Happy to have Sam Flanders at Collingwood.

They're not even good VFL mids yet, it'll be a fair while before they're good AFL mids - if that ever comes to be.

I think they are just easing him back through the midfield because of his hammy issues, but he's been spending more time in there last few weeks.
