List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[JLC]

So is it likely to be one of Tomlinson or Hayes? Do they have to go on main list or could they be rookie listed?

Hayes appears to have the better upside - the commentators were super excited in his debut game. Clearly it's a small sample size - only 6 completed games. An older and probably better back up than Kreuger but the risk with injury is just as great.

Definitely not the forward I envisaged but at least the club are pro active.

Depends IF there Teams offer them a New Contract or Not

Hardwick won’t do Collingwood any special favours

Dont think he'll be overly troublesome either though

 

[Chameleon75]

To be fair of all the commentators, Cooney is the funniest.

unintentionally

 

[nahnah]

So there was no interview with Leppa today? Hope there is one tomorrow

 

[Granit1962]

This is the stuff of fantasy. GC potentially threatening to let Dan Houston decide whether they recruit John Noble as a tactic

Interesting, once Houston nominates they may think they have that Club over a barrel.

 

[Pistol Night]

Especially as Hardwick, Fly and Leppa are all good friends. Noble exactly the type of player they need. It will happen

Spot on FJ. Its like the first 5 minutes of Home and Away this week, nothing is going to happen. Next week is when Alf will blow up the diner and Houston will be a Pie

Unless they think that drafting a couple of 18 year olds with middle of the first round picks is actually going to keep us up, their argument seems to be: drop down Pies, don't try to stay up.

Personally though, I think they're just getting clicks.

On a superficial pass what they're saying is correct. We have old players and not many under 21. There's a risk at some point topping up fails and we drop off. Though the point that we are signing medium to long term options, not short, is important.

The alternative, as you say, is to retire and trade out players and drop down the ladder for a few years, hitting the draft. Their criticism, I guess, is that we're delaying this process. The question to ask there is whether we are a realistic flag chance in 2025? Just like before 2023 when the media (and I) had similar concerns. The strategy is only a problem if we're not.

The level to which we are throwing away picks and relying on trading in older players is also exaggerated. We are taking players in the draft, it's just that we had some that did not yield many players or players that ended up leaving (Henry, Ginnivan, Richards).

 

[Ctracks]

How would we feel if we got houston, he played the year with us and then requested a trade to carlton when they can get a better deal done? lol
Would be a carlton thing to suggest to him.

Has crossed my mind.

 

[cfc19902010]

lets hope so..

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Has crossed my mind.

Then we demand 2 high picks for him. Or tell them to get stuffed.

Don't think it's a case of one or the other. We need another Key back.

Why would Gold Coast wait until Houston decides to nominate a club before they deal with said club for their pick 13?

GC should do what is in the best interests for them, not anyone else and should definitely not give a shit about what happens to pick 13 after they trade it on.

Ralph is spewing BS out of his ass!

 

[No SPIN]

Yeah players NEVER get repeat ACLs

If that’s your fear, then you better warn Mackie not to recruit Bailey Smith.

And out of his mouth all over his keyboard as usual

 

[stormskye]

I don’t understand why we’d give our future first to Gold Coast?

Would we not need that for Houston?

We’d give it to Gold Coast as part of a deal for pick 13 to on trade for Houston

Shhhh

Nothing to suggest it won’t/cant be both tbh.

 

[gerryg400]

Just heard Adam Cooney on SEN say that if Carlton get Houston, they will be premiership favourites next year. We’re do they dig these guys up.

Cooney is an imbecile. He doesn’t even pretend to be anything else.

 

[Everybody Panic]

Maybe it’s my naivety but does it really matter what half the gutter trash journos type and put out there? Especially in club land?

How much weight do we put on that Gold Coast wanting to be a destination club, sure it might only be one instance but I wouldn’t want to be getting a reputation of getting a contracted player public say he wants to go and then you can’t close the deal because you want a slightly better draft pick you probably won’t even use..

It doesn't matter in the slightest. It's embarrassing how much people in here think there's a media agenda against Collingwood. Media is all about cash and clicks. It's why they update/tweet and write articles every day. They have no news so they clickbaiting everyone and people fall for it every year.

Being premiership favourites half way through this year certainly inspired them to greater heights

 

[Scodog10]

If the Pies can get hold of 13 from the Suns, then we have a good shot at Houston (All Aust quality in prime), and if we cant get a deal done for Houston we should be pitching hard at Bailey Smith....13 would give us an edge and Smith could be a starting mid and difference maker at the pies ....arguably a greater positional need than Houston......but either way both top quality players that would significantly improve our list.....with fall back is take 13 to the draft

Smith only gets to Collingwood if we draft him with that pick and I don’t think we ever hold it because it goes to Port before even coming to us. Ultimately I think we value replacing Noble off half back more highly than what Smith offers. With the way the game and our group has gone the last few years I’m fine with that.

 

[flagpies2323]

How hard is it haha

Our future first & noble for gc 13 and 23 we do have that pick 35 as well if we need
13 and Richards for Houston
Future 1st port to Gold Coast for lukosius

it got the supporters excited thereby magnifying their disappointment when they crashed, may they be premiership favourites every year.
