List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

[Pistol Night]

If you see what Wrighty said, it barely even constitutes "interest":

"We have, I suppose, mild interest. Not so much that we don't admire him as a player. It's a matter of, OK, what's the right fit for us?

"But I have heard that he might be having a look."

Like an unattractive person asking you out

 

[Soups]

11 games in 2 years from Billings doesn’t scream recruit me. In fact, C grade St.Kilda players coming here makes me feel quite ill.

Mild interest is mild interest.
We had mild interest last year on Fiorini nothing happened, so all those guys who think Billings is a good fit , or a good gamble don't get your hopes up.
Salvagni was always a hard nut to crack to crack when he was at the gws, so don't expect a deal to be done

It was my gut reaction to thinking about having to support someone I've bagged mercilessly for years.

Billings is an upgrade to our delisted players, he is a free hit.

He was pretty good early in his career. St Kilda can suck the life out of anyone.

 

[KinderSmock]

George Stevens at the draft would be a good steal. He would come in ready-made to replace Adams, would be available at Pick 30ish.

 

[Soups]

Sounds like a trap to me.

We heard you the first time.

yeah I’d rather avoid pensioners, we have enough veterans and would be setting ourselves up for a hard fall, new recruits need to be of the right age group for me.

 

[KinderSmock]

We heard you the first time.

I didn't know if it actually posted. We add like 10 pages an hour.

 

[Jen2310]

On the trade desk, Cal saying pick 23 (or currently 24) would be part of the adams deal.. And pick 31 would be used for Grundy.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

He could have marked a couple of those easy ones.

He was instructed to bring everything to ground. Billy takes his instructions very literally.

Was awkward when he rocked up to the G with all his furniture once too

 

[TradeDraft]

Don't mind the Jack Billings play if it comes to fruition. Won't cost us much, chances we get his body/head right probs higher than that late pick we trade for him turning into a player. Highly skilled etc. His best can be very good.

Wonder if we have any out of the box plans for him role wise / positionally?

Have Impact something like Hill

 

[Chameleon75]

He was instructed to bring everything to ground. Billy takes his instructions very literally.

it was like he was so focused on not letting Andrews mark it, that when the ball did hit his hands he wasn’t sure what to do.

get to free agency and then we can give a club $400K to take him off our hands, and with the salary they give him, we might get a first rounder as compensation....

Maybe if we smudge Will to resemble Josh someone will think they’re getting a steal

No 18-year-old is ready-made to come in and replace a 200-game attack dog.

I just think we need to be creative in finding ways to move him on. We have to convince dad that it's something positive...maybe an offer of a spot on the board?

 

[Jen2310]

 

[brockbruiser]

If we have any interest in Billings, it has to be on the proviso we get him cheap. Otherwise we surely would have gone after Gresham.

 

[Exambolor]

Huh?

Very odd request, not gonna say no to a new player but very out of nowhere. Can kick a few bags too

 

[Antz]

Huh?

Very odd request, not gonna say no to a new player but very out of nowhere. Can kick a few bags too

And only 25 years of age. Hmmm

 

[manicpie]

Yes please
