List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[Johno9911]

If we re-sign Long, we won't even have a rookie spot, so no can't do that.

Thanks for that Jen - difficult calls this time of the year, especially with the list spot squeeze!

Yup and given we need 3 spots for the draft, this year is just right for spots.

Only way for that to happen is to delist reef given he is the only one left TBA on the senior list.
But the noise has been quiet on that front the moment we went for membrey so don't think we'll go both

2 in ND + rookie upgrade opens up a rookie spot for Tomlinson (whilst still retaining Reef)
OR
they go 3 in ND, HH onto LTi and pick up Tomlinson via SSP (whilst still retaining Reef)

Word is we're taking 3 in the ND (given our picks are close together, might as well), so the 2nd option is a possibility if they put HH on the inactive list
We'll know a bit more later this week, they'll have to finalise the list spots before DFA.

Was Luke ball the St kilda player we got for "free" ?

We drafted him using pick 30 in 2009 AFL draft.

Yep, there're options.
I'm guessing Tomlinson would prefer to have a list spot of some type, sooner rather than later, if we are still keean.

 

[celestial]

Perhaps I should have been more clear, was Luke ball the last st kilda player we got from st kilda without having to trade for him?

If so, that sounds like a good omen.

 

[Apex36]

Do we have room to re-rookie reef if that was the route we went down?

I like Reef but fear his time might be up - but I would love us to give him a proper summer and a full year at FB before letting him walk.

We’d be better off re-signing Reef if we want to keep him and then delisting and re-rookie listing AJ. Reef will be eligible to go anywhere as a delisted free agent if we made that attempt and I’d imagine there would be a few clubs who would take a shot on him for free.

 

[Apex36]

What a waste of talent. If he had two brain cells they’d be lonely.

Or simply delisting Long and just adding Tomlinson or whoever the target is in the rookie draft.

Honestly I can’t believe we haven’t delisted Long already. He’s clearly not AFL standard. Rupert Wills reincarnated.

I can't see it with him, but admittedly I thought the same about Murphy.

Wonder if the media meltdown over us trading Stevo Flipper and Atu was really worth the fuss

 

[Kappa]

Does he realize he's gonna be making minimum wage the next 50 years?

I don't think anyone can deny that they were the right moves for our list/cap, it was just the way it was handled that left a lot to be desired. Particularly with Treloar.

 

[Matt_352]

Just delist Long and pick up Tomlinson in the RD. Then HH goes in LTI list and Tomlinson comes onto main list. Easy. Long is a spud.

Doesn't work that way. You cant draft someone in the rookie draft then move them to the senior list in the same off season

 

[JoinDate]

Does he realize he's gonna be making minimum wage the next 50 years?

I don't think he's bright enough to have that level of insight. Probably a part of the reason why he never continued with his rising star form.

 

[JLC]

Buckley was quick to determine that Stevo didn't have what it takes.

Geelong will have a sniff for sure.

He has his backyard tattoo gig and bmx riding to fall back on.

I guess it depends on if you want to count Jack Bytel…

Why would that even be necessary?
