List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion

[Mick F]

Happy to swap Poulter for Frampton.

Bianco is 182 and Poulter 193cm. The former may be more a Noble replacement, whilst Poulter potentially a better winger. Has his development stalled beyond repair??

 

[manicpie]

Moore is first cab off the rank to play the intercepting role when the opportunity arises. Frampton is no Moore.

I think we see Frampton as someone who will play a very similar role to roughy, the others will do the intercepting

Noble is possibly the fastest player on our list and Bianco amongst the slowest, however.

 

[No SPIN]

Reef and HH won the sprint in their draft years so more speed to look forward too.

I thought the mail was that he's useless 1-on-1 but a good intercept mark.

What a rabble. Surely Rutten wouldn't stay if he has any self respect for himself, after how the Essendoom board tried to shaft him....

If he walks, he don’t get paid. If he stays, he has a chance to turn it around, most likely stay sh1t.

I hope he gets a year off on Essendon, fully funded.

I would say needs development 1-on-1 but has scope to add more size without sacrificing mobility.

Useless defending on the lead. Will need other players taking up leading space, and putting pressure on in midfield.

Very good intercepting mark and user.

 

[Horaceg]

Everybody from Pendles to Taranto seems to love Wilson.

I love Wilson, not sure he makes it at the level as a footballer.

 

[HFF]

If Taranto is off to Richmond.....then we should hit the draft and bank cash we save in the Grundy scenario
Offloading Grundy and hitting the draft with another 2 first rounders (one from Grundy and one from our own)----keep JDG obviously---and bringing in McStay and Hill who are needs areas for us for little give up in draft capital is balancing out the list nicely.

I'm certain we will have more opportunities for guys like Macrae and Reef next season too for on ball roles
Carmichaell too after what would be his first pre-season

We also have 3x picks in the 40s too we can move up the draft board with too for a club that needs points for any academy and or father son product.

 

[tmpies01]

Richmond board are very confident about Taranto.

How do you know?

 

[tmpies01]

Remember, the media (and Kevin Bartlett) reported Richmond were Treloar’s club of choice, then a week later he requested a trade to the Pies.

There is still plenty to play out, so Richmond fans declaring Taranto is a done deal might want to keep quiet for now.

 

[Horaceg]

How do you know?

A quick look through their posts will give you the run down, they have even issued him the vacant No.14, campaigners!

That's good news. Wilson was starting to show a bit before his injury.

 

[KinderSmock]

Well if all that is required is training, maybe we should train McMahon to play the Harris Andrews role, Tyler Brown to play the Bontempelli role and Begg to play the Luke Jackson role while we’re at it?

Not apples with apples. Poulter has height and has shown some forward ability. T. Brown is not a Bont, Begg is too skinny to be a Jackson and McMahon still plays like a newbie defender but is showing something. McMahon spent most of his childhood modelling his game off Jack Gunston, too, so it's all new for him down back.

 

[Soups]

My 2 cents.

1. We aren’t getting Taranto

2. We won’t get a first rounder for Grundy.

= meltdown on this board.

Then Better to Keep Grundy

Is Taranto liking their players posts?

lol Judd went to our mad Monday as he was leaning to pies, then Carlton threw in the Visy brown paper bags and he chose Carlton.

Not saying he isn’t coming but as with Lynch can’t count our chickens.

 

[Soups]

Doesn’t look like either is happening.

 

[KJpie]

I heard Dustin and Cotchin are going so would be pushing harder

Cotchin move or retirement your suggesting?
Both stars of the comp, would have loved either at the Pies.
I can't see Cotchin at another club, he bleeds Black & Yellow.

Cotchin is not a star. Yuck.

First I'd heard about that, and I doubt it!

 

[KJpie]

Not sure if your serious, in his prime Cotchin was a gun
Still had a lazy 30 possies last week.

 

[Dynamics]

A vanilla rake could be trained. He's played a lot of midfield, but maybe it's time for a stint as a key.

To become dynamic and athletic? That's a bit of an ask. Key forwards need certain physical characteristics besides being over 190cm and I haven't seen them from Caleb. I say that as one of his biggest advocates here.

And this might sound like a leftfield thing to say, but Caleb isn't actually that tall at the shoulders. He has an extraordinarily long neck, which is of bugger all benefit in a marking contest. He does have long arms, which offsets that. See the pic with his landlord Crispy below.

I keenly hope he makes but I can't see it being as a key forward. Would love to be proven wrong.
