List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion

[jamieb1983]

Think of the possibilities though.

With an extra top 5 pick we may get someone as good as Moore!

Or a toumpas!!

 

[TradeDraft]

Good luck to GWS trading with The Bummers.

Dodrio will be a Pain up the Ass

 

[Gabbo64]

I think McCreery was easily our most impressive debutant this year and is odds on to have a decent career with us. McRae's focus on tackling pressure makes him a very important piece of our forward mix. He may not have the same ceiling as some of our other debutants but the bloke is solid.

We need a tough nut.

Agreed - I don't see where these overly negative impressions are coming from.

He needs a bit of polish yes but he has intensity and is an awkward match up for a defender with his size and speed, so I reckon he'll go well. I'll go out on a limb and say he'll be a 100 game player for us.

 

[gouki88]

He is a clear number 1, recruiters don't pick players based on "ATM", which is what people are saying about Horne. It's about past, present and future and Daicos is clearly ahead of him in that regard. The only reason Daicos isn't talked about as much as JHF is because he hasn't played as much. I don't want Daicos to be picked at one but people should be prepared because I think it will happen

Except he isn't the clear number 1??

 

[Crazy Tails]

Think they have good indigenous relations going back a bit.

Yep they do. I don't think you can discount their involvement in the Dreamtime games either. That would be a big hook too I reckon.

 

[Crazy Tails]

I don’t think Collingwood made a lot of indigenous players feel welcome unfortunately. Whether perceived by lack of recruiting or when at Collingwood (from what we’ve heard on the outside).

Agree; hopefully we can turn that perception around from this point on.

 

[JuniorB]

Agree; hopefully we can turn that perception around from this point on.

Bringing in Nev Jetta is a good start.

 

[Mick F]

Can GWS bid on Darcy and Daicos

Yes

 

[SchuPie]

That settles that.

Does it negate their need for Stengel or are they looking for a 1-2 small forward punch?

 

[Crazy Tails]

Bringing in Nev Jetta is a good start.

Absolutely; a great start.

 

[partypie]

Does it negate their need for Stengel or are they looking for a 1-2 small forward punch?

Stengle is going to Geelong apparently...

 

[Jen2310]

Does it negate their need for Stengel or are they looking for a 1-2 small forward punch?

They may feel Geelong are locked in for Stengle.

 

[jmac70]

We need a tough nut.

That’s hard to crack.

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that GW and McRrae are talking to Sydney Stack

. Probably being incredibly optimistic but hey we all gotta have hope.

 

[Jen2310]

Lets be honest, this was just an excuse to get Adrian Dodoro involved in trade period Haha

This off-season has had a sad lack of Dodo jokes thus far.

I don't think his ceiling is extraordinarily high, but he was decent from day one.

 

[gouki88]

This is where I'm at with Beau. He's already the premier tackler inside 50, which is pretty wild for a debutante. I think he'll cruise to 150 games if healthy.

 

[JLC]

I don't think his ceiling is extraordinarily high, but he was decent from day one.

He just needs to play his role. Apply pressure and keep getting to dangerous spots. He doesn’t need to turn into a midfielder or have Eddie Betts goal sense.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that GW and McRrae are talking to Sydney Stack. Probably being incredibly optimistic but hey we all gotta have hope.

I'd rather we keep characters like him away from our young list , despite his skill set.

 

[unplugged]

Glad we're not in the hunt for Bobby Hill.

Too expensive and I'd hope we have an over-all list management plan that doesn't see us shuffle the deck chairs to try and pick up a player last minute just because he announces he wants to come to Victoria.

 

[lyfsux]

That settles that.

Good let them pay a first rounder

 

[unplugged]

Keidean Coleman signed a new contract yet or...?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I don’t think Collingwood made a lot of indigenous players feel welcome unfortunately. Whether perceived by lack of recruiting or when at Collingwood (from what we’ve heard on the outside).

We have a chequered history, sadly. Although Leon was popular and Brad Dick was absolutely beloved, everyone was devastated when he did his ACL.
