List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion

[Harry O]

You know Edmond is guessing when he says McStay (key position player) and Hill (small forward) arriving would squeeze him out positionally

Does he even watch the AFL?

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

This seems like a lot of speculation on Edmunds' behalf about what he thinks Henry ought to be thinking about our prospective list changes.

Interesting that we're far apart on money apparently. Wonder what he's asking for

If he has bigger dollars in mind then , absent other substantial interest, it's probably best for both parties that he signs a 1 year extension with triggers and negotiate again in a years time on a longer term deal that values his potential after we've seen more. He shouldn't be getting 2-3 years on coin at this point in time but if Geelong is offering overs then obviously we have a decision to make.

I hope we get it sorted somehow.

Logue would be a lot easier to afford/acquire if you got Bruhn instead of Taranto, just sayin

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I mean, if we're going for Hill, why not go for Rioli as well?

Really add some legit spice to that forward line

Hill, Rioli, Kreuger, Mihocek, McCreery, Johson

Beautiful blend there

Louge wants around 700k a year. He is just waiting for whatever club offers the biggest deal. Taranto is exactly what we need.
Louge... We will just back Charlie Dean..

Have some DeGoey updates shortly.

Word is his manager has put off contract talks till JDG returns from Bali later in the week

Maurice? There's no way Tigers let him go, and I don't see why he'd want to leave.

[ThePhantom777]

Have some DeGoey updates shortly.

Wasn't there a rumour late last week he'd signed with us? I guess they would have announced it by now if he did.

People will go back on my other post regarding DeGoey before I post this just note people in life actually change their mind and go in different directions, that's life.

Now that's out of the way.

I have been very clear that DeGoey and Fly have wanted him to stay and has even had backing from Pendles.

He will be at Collingwood next year and will sign a 2 year deal around 750-800k per year which will be announced after finals (let's hope he doesn't **** up before then)

Board have come around and so has Wright it's funny what playing some good games can do, he has been very very clear to the club that he would do anything to stay, don't be surprised if he has some conditions in the contract that the AFLPA will have to tick off on.

I'm sure I'll cop it so go for it.

Priority #1: keep Grundy, Ollie and Jordy
Priority #2: don’t really care. Just bolster our inside mid issue

Priority #1: Make savvy list management options and don't overpay to keep players. Collingwood is not a charity and it is not a boutique player agency which gives every player $$$ deals.
Priority #2: Ensure we have enough salary to target McKay.
Priority #3: Draft wisely.

I'd be keen if we got Fiorini, Taranto and McStay. Bobby Hill is a bit overrated but I could be wrong so I'm keeping an open mind.

Edit: Frampton as well.

Players come better at Collingwood

 

[MoreMoore]

I really need to sit down and watch an entire VFL game because the only time I can recall seeing Kelly he has been taking marks like he's Ben Reid.

Is he not starting to hit some sort of form? Or am I just tuning in to see his highlights?

I think he has been playing well

 

[stormskye]

I think he has been playing well

His contested marking has markedly improved. Don’t know what’s happened, but he’s clunking them now

Maybe next time instead of saying something as definitive as “100% gone”, you should just say what you actually know and leave your opinion of what he was going to do (because that’s what it was) out of it, or at least say “I think he’ll probably go”, so people get that it’s not set in stone.

When the player himself goes I'm 100% gone then what else should I say?

 

[Pistol Night]

Id hold onto the announcement until next Friday if its true to really get the place pumping before we roll the Cats

 

[Mollythedolly]

Did you check out his mark?

Problem is the few highlights people will cite are just about all he's done. Doesn't do anywhere near enough to give any cause for concern and I can't see who he'd force out of our current F50 cohort.

 

[Mollythedolly]

You could say the same about McCreery too. He's a work in progress.

On exposed form, I know which of the 2 I'd prefer. The 1 that tackles with the force of a Mack truck.

Oh, he said that, directly to your face now did he?
Don’t dig yourself further down mate. He signed weeks ago while you were still insisting he was gone btw.

 

[sr36]

Probably in a place they were already living.

50% of Australians have not gone home to start working a new job.

So moving jobs for money or career advancement is ok, but moving for lifestyle or family is entitled?

I struggle to comprehend how anyone could see it as a big negative or think a system that allows it is lesser than one that doesn't.

Can't do all that

Grundy has to go before we can do basically anything
