List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

[KinderSmock]

Not buying that one.

GWS were never in the hunt. Pickering and Sydney were in talks the week after the Hawks lost the GF to them.

He was.

The moment Gaz got cold feet about Suns move

It was one of the biggest signings in AFL history. Geelong superstar Gary Ablett was off to the Gold Coast. But it almost didn’t happen.

As for GWS,

It swung flags, Brownlows and club futures. WHAT IF … Buddy picked GWS over Sydney?

Lycett? No thanks.

Port Adelaide, Collingwood linked to rival ruckmen: AFL trade news

The ruck merry-go-round could be in motion once again.

It doesn't even make sense.

Imagine how awkward it would be for Lycett at the club, anyway.

It'll be like us acquiring Dom Sheed.

 

[BigVic]

We have enough rucks.

 

[Go Woods]

Logan McDonald's (OOC 2024) name has popped up as speculation in the Draft, Trading, Free Agency thread, we should be having a massive crack if there is any chance he may consider getting out of Sydney.

Can't imagine they'll let him go with Buddy on his last year.

 

[manicpie]

Bailey Williams from the Dogs is RFA, 25 years old and getting better numbers than anyone else I've heard us linked to, be a jet out of that backline with our gameplan and free up the chosen one to move to midfield permanently.

Markov is already doing that role and no thanks to another HBF, we also have Ryan

So none this year (2023) we have to really worry about, mostly VFL players in development. Cox & Markov not going anywhere. Johnson a wait and see. A couple of the others probably delist. Majority would stay, I'd imagine.

How 'Buddy's Swans deal was kept secret: Lance Franklin's former manager speaks

"I said if it gets out it won't happen, there will be too many issues if it gets out. It was a real needs to know basis of who knew."

www.zerohanger.com

Pickering was in talks with Sydney by January. Sydney was always Buddy’s first preference. GWS was only the fallback if he couldn’t get to the Swans. That’s straight from Pickering mouth.

 

[partypie]

I don't know why the SSP window is a window, rather than being all year round? Let clubs fill their list spots that way, whenever they want to.

I think you might find that it's because the SSP screws over (state) feeder leagues enough as it is, without it being a season-long thing.

Any talk about "compensation" for poaching players later on in the season who have been making an impact wouldn't be worth diddily squat to state league clubs in the midst of their own (thus far competitive / successful) seasons and who, let's not forget, also have their own fan base and sponsors to keep happy.

We really would be looking at season-derailing stuff for some of the affected state league clubs if the AFL could poach players at any point during the season and the AFL would want to avoid that at all costs.

 

[KinderSmock]

It'll be like us acquiring Dom Sheed.

"Bruzzy?"

"Yeah"

"Can I have your number four? If my mind serves me well, I believe it is a lucky charm. Your old number suits you far better."

"I don't believe we have the same definition of lucky."

 

[Apex36]

Can't imagine they'll let him go with Buddy on his last year.

Maybe not this year, but if he’s open to a move in 2024 we should be in his ear.

You have taught me something. It's interesting to think how GWS would be if they acquired Buddy. Maybe more relevant, possibly with a premiership and if all went well, a famous sporting moment.

Nah, the swans saved them from themselves, albeit temporarily. Could you imagine how badly their cap would have exploded with him on the books? Even without him there they’ve blown it up several times.

Good point. Probably have lost one or more of Whitfield, Coniglio, Greene, etc - their lot of stars who are achieving success.

 

[adammania9]

Their forward line of Cameron, Patton, Greene, Johnson, Dev Smith and Lobb was definitely good enough to win a flag with. Their midfield would have been eaten in to badly.

I think adding a back flanker is pretty likely. Nick wont play it next year. I'll be surprised if Bianco and Ruscoe are still with us - it'll be a need, particularly the way we want to move the ball.

 

[Mick F]

Could we trade for Gold Coast's pick 7? They have a few academy kids they need to stockpile picks for. What about our first and the pick we get from Carlton?
Or throw in a player looking for more opportunities?

Like your thinking. We need to find some way to access young KPP talent.

Adding another flanker at Collingwood is a given, Hine loves them

 

[Scodog10]

I heard Chris Grant on sen today say the Dogs have 18 players out of contract at the end of the year...!

We'd only have a couple wouldn't we?

Year to year clubs have roughly 40% of their playing list off contract so 18 right now is not unusual, but across the league it’s probably on the higher side. For instance we had 29 coming off contract last year from memory.

Their list is at an unusual stage where they have the talent to compete, but a number guys on the fringe with senior experience that could be done in Crozier, McLean, Bruce, Garcia, Hannan and Khamis. Bevo’s revolving door selection policy has left them with about 35 guys they can pick with senior exposure the last 10 are just a bit thin.

 

[AmericanMustard]

GEELONG youngster Max Holmes has become a target for rival clubs after his fantastic start to the year, despite the impressive midfielder still being contracted at the Cats for next season.

Would be great for us, poor guy just misses his family and it’s a pretty long trip down to Geelong. You’d think a second round pick would be enough

 

[AshW]

I posted on the 19th of May about Max Holmes as I had heard from a connected cats vfl man.

He’s under contract so might not be this year but next.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Jakob Ryan has re-signed for two years.

Wouldn't it be nice if it turned into a Ollie Henry situation. Throw in Jhye Clark also.

Would be so sweet to win a flag and then pluck a couple of their youngsters. Then we can act like entitled flogs this time
