I don't think you're being either pragmatic or a shill. Potential name change to Hyperbolic Downer?

Hey, fair enough!

And don't get me started on your name, considering your posts on TGG. Or No Spin.

I mean, I was being tongue in cheek with the sook comment I made about Henry. Certainly there's been a lot worse said about some other Collingwood players here.

But you're right - the only person whose opinion on my discourse I really don't care for is Kappa's.

 

[Carlthetruth]

I think you'll find I am not the only person on this board who has raised a level of bemusement over Henry using the acquisition of McStay as leverage in his contract negotiations.

I wouldn't be regurgitating anything that little turd Sam Edmunds said. How the heck McStay has another to do with Henry has me stumped. COMPLETELY different players but he's looking for a dramatic angle to a story that doesn't exist.

 

[Jen2310]

What I took from this info without saying much Edmund lol is that they are at least up to the offers part of negotiations. They'll meet somewhere in the middle, a compromise.

Notwithstanding it is the job of a manager to get the best deal for their client, I'm still a little miffed as to how a second-year player who has played 24 games and is currently out of the senior side is trying to squeeze as much juice from the orange to the point where two months out from the end of his contract he remains to-ing and fro-ing over his worth.

Unless the club has seriously lowballed him, I have to wonder if this is Henry and his management not quite getting the memo that the Collingwood list management/salary strategy is no longer the charity it once was.

I may be a pushover but I'd be so honoured to be playing for the Collingwood Football Club and getting 300 K as a 20 year old would be a huge bonus. I don't know exactly what we have offered him but surely it would be around that mark.

 

[unplugged]

I hope we're getting Gunston and that's why Henry is running scared...

 

[Dynamics]

You're a long time retired.

I don't begrudge any player taking their time with negotiations or pushing for the best deal they can get.

I mean, it annoys the shit out of me as a supporter but that's my problem.

I mean sure, but remember how gobsmacked we all were when we found out Stephenson was on $600k in his third year?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Tom Wilson is completing no-contact training drills and his level of impact will increase over time.

He will return to full training by week one of pre-season.

Does this mean Wilson is contracted for next year?

No, Jarrad Wade has no say on the contractual status of players. He'd be derelict in his duty to wipe his hands and say that's it for Tommy and there's no need to do rehab because he won't be on the list next year.

I was tongue in cheek with my own comment. Either that or I certainly don't practice what I preach. It's only yesterday that I was digitally keel-hauled for a spot of black humour on Henry. Only I (and one other poster) saw the humour. Everyone else just saw the black part.

has met with Melbourne as discussions swirl surrounding his future.


McRae believes players meeting with opposition sides is simply a reality of footy in 2022.

“I’m probably more of the view that it’s the reality,” McRae said.

“It’s happening all over the country. We can’t control free agency. Brodie’s a bit different, he’s a contracted player, but managements talk to people, our list manager Graham Wright is talking to his manager and the details are exactly what they look like.

“So that might present an opportunity for a door to be open so I’m more of the approach that we just accept it for what it is, but also have that maturity to be able to be like ‘you step back into our walls, you’re a Collingwood player, let’s get to work, let’s get busy here, make us better’.”

Very different to his Degoey comments. Grundys gone IMO. That’s free agency I guess.

Given he's not a free agent, my read is we've told him to look elsewhere for suitors.

Yeah, i really meant that’s the times we live in Trading etc. he’s far from a free agent

 

[JLC]

I imagine Gold Coast would still ask for a fortune.

Would be perfect extracting inside footy for Daicos x2 and others. Just don’t know that he’s attainable. And, if we can nab Taranto & a Fiorini type (ideal off-season alongside McStay) then I’m not sure we’d have space.

What do Gold Coast actually need?

For a team that doesn't make finals they have depth in most areas?

Would they simply be after an experienced leader?

[KillerMagpies]

What cheap midfield options would you consider?

If they’re no better than the youth we can already develop, why bother clogging up our list?
I have no idea what’s gettable.
However… for the sake of this exercise…
Sam Philp is 21. Recruited in first round of the 2019 draft. He had insane clearance numbers in the U18 and was the quickest player in the combine. To date, 2 senior games for the Blues, rotting in the forward pocket (a position he NEVER played as a junior ) and riddled with injuries. I can’t see him getting an inside mid position at Carlton too soon. We could do with that. Let’s see what it takes to get him out?
PS. I kinda know a bit about Sammy.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Quentin Narkle?
…. Pick fringe players that look good from good teams.
Not players from mediocre teams that are so crap that they can’t play in crap teams.

 

[KJpie]

Quentin Narkle?

As a Swan Districts supporter from yesteryear he puts an instant on the dial.
The Narkle's were guns & our version of the Krakouer Brothers.
Idolised them as a kid.

Or he has another club in his manager's ear offering more $ and opportunity.

I think Henry is just going through the process, nothing to worry about.

 

[KinderSmock]

No, Jarrad Wade has no say on the contractual status of players. He'd be derelict in his duty to wipe his hands and say that's it for Tommy and there's no need to do rehab because he won't be on the list next year.

That would be negligent as anything.

 

[HFF]

Henry will be here.
I’m certain of it
