List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2015

[mike123]

The boys club is already big enough at our club...

Yes, but if Sanderson replaces Burns, doesn't it stay the same size?

 

[Hardas]

That's not entirely true about Sando from what I've been told..

At the very least, it's a serious exaggeration.

 

[left at home]

Ask around why he really got the flick, see what you find out as my info. could be wrong.

why did he get the flick as senior coach. honest question don't know
when assistant seemed to be alright geelong people loved him, or am I wrong.

 

[Unknown Identity]

At the very least, it's a serious exaggeration.

He certainly got given the ass by Adelaide backed by Ricciuto .. but the players not liking him wasnt the reason..

 

[Bard]

What would everyone think of us offering Jarrad Grant from the doggies a contract? Is apparently testing the free agent waters. I think his best footy is quality, obviously can go missing a fair bit but I think could be worth a punt. Wouldn't have to give anything up for him and doubt he would cost to much but could be a handy 3rd forward for us.

He's absolutely horrendous.

 

[mike123]

Would rather Jeremy Howe over Jarrad Grant, and that's saying something.

 

[Maggie5]

Shane O'Bree maybe?

No

 

[Bard]

I would rather keep Seedsman over both :S

 

[gtrain23]

I still cant believe his playing afl

 

[Maggie5]

Sidebottom is the clubs best endurance runner by a fair bit anybody suggesting him up for trade are crazy

Add to that a big game player and in reality rarely beaten. Untouchable for mine.

 

[MeisterBot]

Grant is a poor man's Goldsack. Considering that Goldsack is already a fringe player for most people here, I'm not interested in Grant.

 

[Hardas]

He's got his faults but his calmness under big-game pressure is proven and he's still young.
There's a lot to like.

 

[swoop42]

Yes...that's the issue...do clubs match an offer, purely to enable them to trade & receive a better deal?
I'm sure the AFL introduced the matching scenario to enable clubs to defend & retain their talent, however if clubs simply match, then trade, the AFL will move to close that loophole. They will change the rule, if you match, you must retain that player & can only trade that player in the future (not in this years trade period).
As you say, if the player wishes to depart, then no point matching & forcing the player to stay.

Therefore, the Crows may not match in this instance.

Not so convinced.

Adelaide don't want to lose Dangerfield just like we didn't want to lose Beams.

If the salary offered to Dangerfield is well within there capability of matching then why shouldn't a club be able to force a better trade for themselves for a top line player they've invested heavily in over many years?

The AFL certainly don't want to create even more of a scenario where the rich and successful clubs continually poach wanted players from weaker clubs for a salary price that could be comfortably matched by there current side.

We were happy to let Thomas go for the F/A compensation pick but replace Thomas with Pendlebury then it's a game changer.

Elaboration please.... You may use memes/emojis and your words.

I think so too.
Players agreed to having both unrestricted and restricted free agency - the clubs deserve the right to match, and reserve the right to trade, or keep, a player for longer. They have to have some rights under the system, and it's not like the club and player are always out of sorts with each other.

Rumours were he got caught mad Monday with a player in the toilets having a good time

 

[jhndos]

Adelaide match Cats offer for Dangerfield.
Adelaide approach Collingwood for trade.
They request direct swap Danger for Sidey.
No player is untouchable if the price is right.

Ps Sidey going no where...part of our next Premiership push. Loved by coach. Hard worker. Big game performer. Still haven't seen the best of him yet.

Broomhead & Kennedy to Adelaide for Danger :0

 

[Bard]

Rumours were he got caught mad Monday with a player in the toilets having a good time

That's fairly legit.

 

[Kappa]

lol.

Sando doesn't swing that way but the scenarios are getting closer...

Lol it wasn't sexual rumours were he was putting stuff up his nose

 

[shizzle]

Sidebottom is a very good player, quite comical reading the replies, some people clearly have no idea what the word hypothetical means.

He's basically Brent Stanton, I bet most on here wouldn't class him as an A grader or untouchable, let alone elite as some may claim about Sidey.

Elite players don't continually kick 25m passes that consistently fall 2-5m short of their intended target.

If a great deal presented itself the club would be negligent if they didn't look at it, perhaps a gun key forward would tickle their fancy.

 

[Mr Bombastic]

Lol it wasn't sexual rumours were he was putting stuff up his nose

Oh sounded like he was banging a player in the toilets haha.

 

[BEEG]

Lol nah after reading that I could see why people would think that

It's only a rumour that was going around when he got sacked I have no clue if it's true

Quite possibly true but not why he was sacked..
