List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[KillerMagpies]

Are we able to move Johnson and Macrae to the rookie list if no takers?

Contracted.
I doubt it?

 

[Jen2310]

Macrae is contracted

You've got to get his permission to be put on the rookie list when contracted.

 

[nahnah]

Contracted.
I doubt it?

no clue what the rules are these days, they are both contracted for 2025

Still unsigned...

Dean, Bytel, Richards, Eyre, Sullivan, Kreuger, Long, McInnes.

Keep Dean Eyre Long Reed

De List Bytel Sullivan

Not sure about Kreuger

 

[TradeDraft]

Tom Morris is more obsessed with the Petracca story than even I am. And that's a lot.

It's looking unlikely for Reef and Kreuger to at least stay on senior list with the number crunch

I'd be more inclined to keep Reef, he's younger & has more potential to play defence or elsewhere. I like Freddy, but he's limited in what role he plays & not the kpf we need to help Dan & Checkers.

If we cant afford Luko, then we def can't afford CP unless dees pay some of his salary in a dump

 

[Roverjg]

Fair enough. I thought Melbourne were hell bent on a quality KF

They are. It may have to involve a 3rd club who has a KPF and would be happy for some players

Lipinski went for pick 43. Anything to suggest Noble or Richards will get a pick in the low 20s???

Richards likely to get something that early, but Noble is a best 22 player who’s played 120+ games and baresly missed outside of last years finals series.
Lipinski in comparison had played 56 games in 5 years at the dogs, averaging only 11~ a season and was out of contract, so I ask you is there anything to suggest why he wouldn’t get a pick that’s significantly better than the one used to get Lipinski?

I got the opposite from that tweet. Doesnt Bowes style salary dump mean we can afford him? We'd be taking on the contract with a pick attached

Perhaps we don’t view him as worth the cap Jen.

Plenty of ways to work out $. End of this year alone we will have money freed up with retirements

 

[unplugged]

So apparently we were able to take a 1m salary dump to get a player cheap at trade...

But we have no cap room

That's the way I took it...

 

[Big Bryza]

So the Hawks get Battle and Barass to shore up that defence...

The issue with the Hawks is that in a couple of years most of their young blokes will want a bigger piece of the pie. They'll end up losing multiple players who get offered cash elsewhere.

 

[SchuPie]

Which contradicts what was said about our cap in Fly’s interview
As it should

 

[Stripes B and W]

Folks keep saying we cannot afford CP etc...
Clearly our meagre draft cache is a minor part, so a handy or better player/s would be required.
Then of course their salary comes out of our cap and viola, CP be accommodated.

 

[Pendles!]

Surely with Noble and Richards heading out we can find some currency for Trac. We gotta get creative, we can’t let him get to Carlton.

 

[Big Bryza]

Do you have more than just a gut feeling to support that opinion?


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I have a few sources that have suggested that Collingwood is the only club that Trac wants to play at.

Clearly, there's a shitload to play out in the coming weeks but here we are.

Think you read that wrong Jen, we would take Lukosious and his contract in a Bowes style salary dump by GC.

Unless they are in absolute strife - and in the absence of Covid cap reductions/freezes - clubs can always move things around. Without delving too far into capology, we could find plenty of dollars in 25 by backending Moore, Daicii, IQ, etc. Then the year after we will have a lot of veterans coming off the books.

Finding something to satisfy Melbourne is the hard bit, not finding cap space.

How did Clokey put it Smoke and Mirrors?

I agree - that says to me that we have cap space to pay a player $1M a year.
There's a lot to play out yet.
