List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[Pistol Night]

To be fair we offered Frampton 3 years and got him cheap

Haha that's probably pissed them off too. We turned an SANFL player of theirs into an AFL premiership FF in 12 months.

Cooney and Cam Luke is such a weak duo. Good couple of hours to smash out some work.

 

[Harry O]

Still shitty about prison bars jumper....

Korn spoke about the Nick Stevens deal a few weeks ago and how the club were happy to lose him for nothing just so he didn’t go to Collingwood.
They are strange breed Port

Cornes banging on already

Work productivity is through the roof this morning.

Through the floor more likely

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Cooney and Luke are dummies but Cooney is actually right. Like I said yesterday, why are Port giving away their first rounder in this deal?

It made no sense

Just take the first Rounder out of it or replace it with a future second rounder

Completely selling it like it’s a non negotiable with Collingwood.

Flog of the highest order. I now want Houston even more.

He spoke to Kane.

At least he’s off the whole “long contract” thing for 5 minutes.

 

[NMBB]

How's it going over there? You think people are pooping in your nest? Try this.....

 

[barrackers]

Houston needs to declare Collingwood and that he has no interest going back to the teal power.

 

[Axl the great]

This is all a non-event, the deal will get done, the whole deal has not fallen over at all, it will just take a different form.
What’s disappointing more than anything is Twomey is starting to speculate and and being a little bit deceptive with his releases.
Always respected him along the way but I guess as your star gets brighter you need to sell your soul to a certain extent.

Call me a wowser if you like, but I really don't think calling someone a pedophile is a particularly good thing to do on a public forum and should be removed, even if the comment is in jest.

Yeh I agree I’d be Pi$$ed and thinking F..K these w***ers

Tell me you have no faith in your list management team, without telling me you have no faith in your list management team........

Glad we didn't hire Chris Davies

Eagles Board should fire its list manager ASAP for entertaining and signing off the Pick 3 for Pick12 & 14 crap.

Yet apparently Port Board is unhappy with a trade that screws Magpies over...

GC needs to turn a pick back to Port since Lukosius is getting paid Buddy Franklin money as an average player.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Houston would be great but maybe its time to move on.

Trade with GCS for our FF1 and Noble for 13 and 29.

Throw 13 and 29 at the dogs for Smith and screw Geelong.

It's just a vibe!

This will get ugly for Port either way. The only outcome here is Houston to Collingwood. They need to make it happen or they won’t have a happy player playing for them next year. And he’s not going to North…

 

[upnsmoke]

Media this morning already suggesting Carlton and Richmond looking like the biggest winners this trade period.

Despite of course Carlton potentially trading away their third best forward, a first rounder and future first for pick 3, beyond missing out on Houston and not being able to offload Kennedy or any others.

And Richmond losing their best 2 players alongside the retirement of an ex captain and retirement of one of their best ever.

Carlton won by having a photo of West Coast manager bending over in front of P Diddy

As I predicted on Sunday, Reports are that Houston is jack of it and wants it sorted out.
He would not be a happy person at the moment.
The original deal was pretty on point so just do the bloody thing.

 

[cakewalk06]

So frustrating that the Suns are playing hardball in this trade yet are handing out draft picks like they are Oprah dealing with Richmond and have been doing it for years with Geelong/Bowes etc. how it came to Port giving up future first I will never know. That is the sticking point IMO.

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Houston would be great but maybe its time to move on.

Trade with GCS for our FF1 and Noble for 13 and 29.

Throw 13 and 29 at the dogs for Smith and screw Geelong.

Or just select smith in draft at 13 and use 29 ourselves?

 

[tmpies01]

Well even if we get some positive movement today I doubt it will be until late afternoon. Be prepared for another night of unknown. They will want this dragged out until past 2pm tomorrrow.

Happy to be wrong though of course.

It’s such a weird dynamic! If they were in the Victorian market they’d be as small a fish as GWS, but their fans are the most impatient and unhinged in the league. Lucky fans don’t run clubs or some on here would have had us pull out of negotiations yesterday…

One of the factors is that their fans are already disgruntled and this sort of deal does need to be ticked off by the board, because it impacts more than just the footy department. It's marketing and memberships as well. So if it is the board it probably is indirectly the fans turning down the deal.
