List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[manicpie]

Will be a great pick up if true. Surprised Carlton don’t want him.

We need to stock up on young mids on the run. He’s probably a depth player to start but with our retirements coming he could be a part of our next midfield group.

Their salary cap is bulging

 

[manicpie]

..and going above & beyond if it includes having to watch Blues play

Oh yes, tell me about it.

 

[watt price tully]

Posted by Boz… but maybe there’s something in this.

His CV in terms of strengths looks very good; then again so does mine. I like the idea of Carroll

Club needs to invest in one of these

 

[Big Bryza]

Tomlinson is a good player. Left the Giants as a free agent, big move to the Dees, then did his ACL and fell behind May and Lever, who are top defenders. I think he'll be a great pick-up for us, he really fills a need.

Yeah i think Tomlinson would be a shrewd pickup. A very capable AFL level defender and absolutely fills a need.

How many DFA’s can we sign? Does the extra 3 delistings open up more spots?

I assumed we’d sign just Membrey and Tomlinson. Interesting if we are going after someone like Carroll.

Guys we're looking at for VFL would also get medicals, I'd assume.

We'd be a pretty attractive destination for a delisted guy hoping to get a second chance next year. We're clearly open to adding guys from our VFL team - last year we added Eyre and Long from VFL and it's likely that next year we'll be shopping for some mature depth.

I’d trust Carroll doing a medical with Pies if he was from Vic, it would make sense. But he is from WA and there has been talk of West Coast being interested. He could easily just go home.

4 years in Melbourne - his whole adult life really - if he's made some good connections, it'd be easier to stay put.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

If you think Sam Weideman has plenty of talent then I’d say you don’t have particularly good judgement.

Oh, and he didn’t lose his key forward spot to Fritsch, the 188cm medium/small forward. He just wasn’t good enough to warrant a spot in a forward line that was screaming out for a key forward. That should be enough to indicate his level of talent.

Indeed. It’s the same situation with Weideman in Melbourne’s forward line as it is with DGB in Hawthorn’s defence. Every opportunity if they were good enough, and the team moved on.

Seen him twice live kick 5 without trying (long story)
He's 10 times the player frampton or membrey is.
He's an even better fit to the structure than I dare say Houston who somehow fell into our lap due to ports incompetence and noble leaving due to being ****ed over at selection 23

There's your problem.

Tell it to the recruiters - he won't be on a list next year.

It's an opinion same as we all have.

Not Weideman.

More than happy with picking up Membrey who kicks 30+ a year, is reliable & can take a mark.

 

[tmpies01]

Well according to a Blues fan, Carroll has removed Carlton from his Instagram bio. Definitely gone. GWS and Collingwood with interest is the rumour.

“If he goes to Collingwood” they are not happy

 

[Mark W]

Membrey has twice kicked 44 goals in a season and topped 30 goals on 5 other occasions. Weideman’s best ever return, 19….

He might end up back in the west but I can certainly understand why we might be interested. He'd be very handy depth

 

[Fat Jesus]

Membrey yes. Weidmann lmao.
Dunno sometimes if I can take some of you seriously.

He’s only ever kicked a bag of 5 once in his entire career in the AFL so you’re either lying or you’re talking about VFL in which case, who cares?

I could almost understand you saying he’s better than Frampton, but Membrey?
You’re saying that 76 games for 77 goals Sam Weideman is 10 times the player than 179 games for 293 goals Tim Membrey is?
You’re saying Sam “never kicked more than 19 goals in a year” Weideman is 10 times the player than 3x St Kilda leading goal kicker Tim Membrey is?

Membrey kicked over 50% more goals this year in an outfit that struggled to hit the scoreboard than Sam Weideman did in his career best year.


Don’t even get me started on your claim he’s a better list fit than Houston. What. The. Actual. ****.

Are you his mum or something? Sorry Mrs Weideman, your son is crap, which is a shame given how good his grandpa was.

 

[Run n Spread]

Membrey

Not against. He's a hell of a player.
But list spots are tight. Go the tall imo

So weid has kicked 440 goals in a season? And he’s being delisted again. Wow
