List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[ElliottsMaggies]

Collingwood are 2 years away from where Richmond are now. Ageing list. No draft capital. Tassie coming in.

Thanks for your concern.

What are you going to do about your ageing backline? Most are 30+ aren't they?

Crippa not getting any younger either.

 

[Ugene41]

Wouldn't class Haynes as a key defender

Same height as Tomlinson and I'd argue Haynes would have a much better aerial game.

Nick Daicos

I suspect therewas a bit of interest in Haynes and thus a decent gap in salary. Got to go cheap somewhere if we're chasing premium elsewhere.

I wouldn't get Tomlinson in the trade period when list spots are tight as he'd go on the senior list. DFA are rookies, yeah?

 

[Doc1763]

That’s what i thought you were alluding to.

all the small frys will get done this week, Houston, Smith, maybe even Stringer will be put on hold

 

[magpienato]

Can he replace the murphy role? I would have thought thats our need, with Frampton not quite good enough to free up Moore.

In any event, Im glad to hear all the responses to my earlier post , as they all praise houston very highly, and he sounds very creative and impactful

He's not so much a like-for-like replacement, but he'll add a whole new dimension to our backline and take the pressure off of Moore

On that basis, I’m assuming Tomlinson is a significantly better player in that position than Dean and Frampton.

wow, can't wait to win those next two flags!

The one thing I'm half-concerned on is the claim that we have great small forward depth so Richards leaving doesn't really hurt us. While our best 23 small forward brigade is as good as any, the depth we have to my knowledge is Harrison who will obviously miss the majority of next year. What happens if we get an injury there?

It we replace a small forward with WHE, Lipinski or even a tall like Kreguer or Johnson that's fine. Even if Bobby gets an injury we still have Beau, Elliott and Schultz to fall back on. We could even rest DeGoey or Daicos up there with a midfield of Mitchell, Daicos, Crisp, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, DeGoey and now Perryman rotating.

We are also 12months on from a flag. How about you?

You must be bored coming here. Perhaps break this out and watch your last premiership





Oh and we have McGuane next year. Enjoy the twins

Good. At least we will give another premiership a shake before getting our number 1 picks. What that like by the way..... The picks not the premierships. No one remembers your premierships they were too long ago.

 

[Pie_high]

The three top 10 picks Essendon had in the 2020 draft haven't done enough between them to make one decent player.

Tbf, 2020 was a pretty weak draft. And barring McCreery we kind of flopped too (shame about Henry of course). Would be a different story if we had picked Holmes at 19 instead of Fin, but he was a genuine bolter.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Not sure he's going to be retained. If anyone, I'd keep Eyre but there's no doubt we're bringing in Tomlinson

Both Dean and Eyre are rookies though so dumping them won’t free up a spot . It we take Tomlinson it’s probably curtains for both kreugs and reef who as far as I’m aware are the only two remaining contracted players on the senior list

Incorrect.
Nothing like Richmond.

Our core will still be very competitive.
There will be a slight drop but not as drastic as Richmond.

Daicos x 2
Perryman
Quaynor
Schultz
Hill
Moore
Degoey
Maybe Houston
Maynard
Lipinski
McReery
Dean

With Allan/Harrison/Demattia/Ryan/Parker to hopefully step up.

McGuane added next year also.

Then there's also future free agents with cap space freed up.

Just worry about your mob falling short each season. At least you can circle jerk over Cripps brownlow's.

 

[The City Boyz]

And an idiot brother who got a lifetime ban running onto the ground for Bruzzys 200th. That’s enough of a red flag for me!

Weak draft or just a blind one? The country was in lockdown for most of the year so the draft was an absolute lottery

Nope. Senior listed.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

His family are all very close to Bruzzy too. I wanted him in the draft in 22. Was keen to see how he went whilst at the Doggies.

He's very close to Ad's too isn't he? Their cute little babysitter.

 

[Jen2310]

grew up a pies supporter too.

 

[Jen2310]

Nope. Senior listed.

Well thats a shame
The rookie draft I suppose that can happen

He's a good friend of Bruzzy.

I think we'll put tomlinson on the rookie list though. He's been delisted. It's the Rookies that are in trouble for me. We've already lost a few from the main list which will replaced with Perryman and Houston hopefully.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yep if he doesn’t sign as a DFA anywhere else, and is willing to nominate for the rookie draft for a chance at continuing his career, that’s an option for us to add him even if we have no senior spots left.
