List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[MooreDaicos]

What are the odds of snagging pick 6+13 after all our supposed trade outs with our F1st?
A fantasy dream?
Unless a shock big name is traded, probably zilch.

Tom Morris was on SEN this morning and he mentioned Geelong also have interest in Davies.

 

[cakewalk06]

So the Suns are likely bringing in Rioli and Noble... we have been linked with Davies, who I feel is worth a crack though no certainty to make it. Anyone else among the fringe players at the Suns that has some upside that could be pushed further down by the two coming in?

Those dirty grubs can't keep their hands off our players. I liked it better when Geelong was a shit place to live

I like Davies as weel. Why cant Noble and a late pick for Davies and pick 20, or something like that?

Will be interesting to see who gets told they are commuting to Footscray for training in exchange for Bazlenka.

yeah we certainly owe them some sort of stitch-up at the trade table. Maybe us chasing Holmes hard earlier this year forced them to pay more than they wanted to? I hope so.

It was pretty low/clever of them when they were chasing Ollie Henry to trade out their future second, i think it was, to ensure they could not trade their future first, which would have been a reasonable price for a talented kid drafted in the first round. I wonder if they are planning the same sort of thing in their trading for Bailey Smith. I really hope the Dogs make them pay a proper price (future first at least).

Knowing Mackie it’ll be Parfitt and some magic beans…

No doubt if Geelong, they will get the world's best deal.

 

[Carlthetruth]

I think we could try to turn Schache into our full back. He's a free hit - with the emphasis on hit.

Why? There is no point.

Hahaha it's not so much Geelong... More the coastal suburbs nearby that are the attraction...

The Bulldogs tried to turn him into a defender a couple of seasons ago. I remember the talk of him going to defence. He may have been a one hit wonder in the role...

From the Gold Coast to the Surf Coast. Maybe the Suns can turn into the Cats feeder club.

 

[Gabbo64]

So was Langdon when he debuted and got regular games. What’s your point?

My point is that not every player reaches the same level at an early age but they still reach the level. Just because he hasn't reached your expectations at 19 does not mean that he wont make it.

 

[Piestration]

This is a joke I'm guessing.

yes nothing serious about Side Show Bob

 

[Bianconeri]

My point is that not every player reaches the same level at an early age but they still reach the level. Just because he hasn't reached your expectations at 19 does not mean that he wont make it.

That doesn’t mean Ryan’s intercept marking game is close to Langdon’s though.

True but I guess the question is, if he makes it what level will it be?

Or is a player like Jiath going to go straight past him?

 

[Apex36]

This has less to do with my expectations of him than it has to do with my observations as to what type of player he is, and a Langdon intercept marking type, it’s pretty clear he ain’t.

 

[Gabbo64]

That doesn’t mean Ryan’s intercept marking game is close to Langdon’s though.

It also doesn't mean it won't be.

 

[No SPIN]

Khamis struggles as a defender? There was one game at Marvel where his opponent was the main target (can't remember which game).

I thought he was meant to be better as a forward?

Would much prefer quality like the Hawks are bringing in.

Agree - I really don’t see him as a reliable KPD.

He’d be amazing as 3rd man up/peeling off/in Howe’s role

It takes a special kind of person

 

[cityslick1]

I think it's pretty clear why we'd take Ryan over Cowan. Weakness of the latter was listed as his tank, a strength for Ryan. Our drafting has prioritised aerobic capacity and pace over the last few years so Ryan made more sense.

Ryan looked good early but struggled a bit this year. He's far from a write off. His marking ability and aerobic capacity will mean he's likely to be a player. We've been strong with half back selections, so I'd be quite confident that he makes it.

& all of that all sounds great, but facts are that Cowan is now a regular in a finals playing side. And Ryan has slipped below two more first year players for a HBF role…

 

[Bussie]

In all seriousness he was a good junior footballer but even Josh Schache he might admit it’s gone past him now…..


………..junior football!

Ok..I'll drop it. Forgot he'd played for three clubs, he's done.

 

[Jen2310]

Its said that we and geelong have registered interest in davies, but nothing more than that
Suns have offered a 2 year deal, but he wants to play senior footy. So I assume he'll be where he can get that.
