List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[josewales]

You continue to believe in the various conspiracies and the irrational belief that every institution involved in the game (the AFL, media, umpires, etc) is biased against Collingwood and doesn't want us to succeed.

I've been saying that for decades

I hate to compare with the NFL, but NFL teams just get on with the trades. They don't f**k around, they don't waste time getting into d**k measuring contests, they are ruthless and efficient with trades. Wish we had that kind of mentality in the AFL.

NFL can trade for months and guess when the big flurry happens - deadline day.

The video from morris/damo/kane regarding my comments was posted on the previous page.

Not sure what that means tbh

jen has zero idea. Her training reports appreciated.

In MLB players been Traded while they been Playing so have to sub off because of being Traded

Prepare yourselves for another 5 curveballs to come in this Houston story, as there hasn’t been enough already.

In all seriousness, there has to be some movement tomorrow, some type of news. Hopefully something positive.

 

[soreplums]

If Eagles feel aggrieved by Hawthorn, maybe they’ll think it’s funny to trade Barrass to Collingwood for a first and second to spite them.

Sweet.
Split 13 with the Swans. One pick for Barrass, one pick for Houston and 23 to the draft…. Happy days!

 

[Fat Jesus]

I can Guarantee something happens in next 3 Day

Mate, you're a Wizard.

 

[LuckyLee]

We really should try do 13,23 for Noble F1 36 tomorrow.

Values 13 at the market rate of F1 and a second and Noble at 23.

I think Port will be able to get Lukosius and 29 for their future first - at worst throwing in 39 as well.

Leaving the Houston deal as the show stopper for the end with a lot of posturing. But ultimately 13,23 Richards for Houston and 29 is the balanced outcome.

Now get 'em all in a room together and don't let any of them out until the deal is signed!

Agree there has something made Official be made with at least 1 part of the Possible Houston Trade

Hopefully it's good news for us

All the North talk ignores that it’s incredibly unlikely Houston has any interest in spending the remainder of his career at North

At Collingwood he will know a Premiership is actually possible.

Assuming we get 13, the difference between what we offer and North won’t be enough to make Houston want to be miserable just to make Port a bit happier

“Sure guys, I’ll go to this nothing club that no one watches with meh facilities wallowing at the bottom of the ladder for the near future if it makes you happy”

I don’t buy it

North’s contract offer is a year shorter, too; 5 years vs 6 from us apparently.

 

[Nebula1971]

They probably already know that we've done the deal for 13. I still reckon that that deal is done

This makes a lot of sense.

Kept off BF and this thread all weekend knowing there would be no result as yet. Skipped almost 2000 posts. Scrolled up a bit just to catch the last 20 or do posts.

Have I missed anything? Thanking in advance!!!

we traded out IQ

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Wow he has really gone out on a limb with that prediction hasn’t he?

You don’t get to be “spot on” by going out on too many limbs!

Yes; “deadlines make deals” is the mantra.

You haven't missed anything except a few desperate journos, who have absolutely nothing to report on so far. It's so obvious that they are concentrating on us for their likes an views. when there's nothing to report, you go collingwood, it's all bullshit

 

[frizzle]

If Sydney want out of this draft I’d offer them our F1 for their 2 picks in this years draft and see if they bite

They want to move up & are offering their 2 picks to do so.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Welcome Dan.

I hate Kornes

Kent.

 

[Hardas]

Welcome Dan.

welcome to thunderdome

What heavens sake are you talking about!
Geelong bent us over. simple. It's important to learn from our fudge ups and learn from them.
it should have been there pick 7 our there future first or let Henry nominate for the draft
Mitchell would have come to us even without the cats pick

Lost the battle, won the war

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Morris seemed pretty sure in that clip that the Suns had agreed to give 13 to Melbourne.

Suns are a pathetic club

 

[adammania9]

disagree cats just won the premieship we could have picked up Henry again before the cats . They would have cracked last minute mate
Mitchell would have gone to us without cats draft pick

Can’t agree re: Henry. The club managed the trade the best they could. In no world would we seriously have gone and redrafted Ollie with a prized first round pick - he didn’t want to play for us, we would have infuriated the managers of prospective targets, the AFLPA wouldn’t have been happy, the media would have cooked up a storm. Not enough benefit for a player who didn’t want to be with us.

And my unpopular opinion is I don’t hold anything against Geelong the way they went about getting Henry. They didn’t actively target Henry - he simply made himself available to them because his brother was there. They were right to prioritise Bruhn whom they headhunted from interstate. They would have targeted Henry eventually but I doubt they’d have minded if he re-signed with us for two years. It sucked for us but it was what it was.

I understand that Sydney have academy picks in next year's draft for whom they may need the points. I hope our F1 can convince them to part with both picks, which we can upgrade.

I think they planned on using the time (if no deal was done) to convince him to stay an extra year.
