Bobby + Ed Allan + 2 x 1st round picks for Harley Reid. Fair surely.

That's all great but who gives a shit about a lazy journo on a slow news day making up a story about Collingwood player X looking to move? It's utter crap.

Yeah, nah
I'd actually do that but you'd be hoping the picks are both 12+

' if there is interest' lol as if Freo and West coast would consider passing on him. Sounds like bs to me as well, probably just some random WA shock jock

His corroborating source was the second guy to hear the same rumour. That's some Woodward and Bernstein investigative journalism.
One minute of google tells me Peter is a bit of a merchant of trade bullshit, with a primary line being WA players being wooed home. Liam Baker was another recent one he raised.

That’s a tweet that belongs in the rumour thread at this point.

And further evidence is the message bank of Bobby's manager is full...

Because news of the rumoured trade, which he is breaking, is already being chased by so many people? That doesn't really make sense.And further evidence is the message bank of Bobby's manager is full...

The amount of mights, maybes and coulds he chucked in made Sir Humphrey Appleby look like a straight talker.
If I'm West Coast and forced trade him, I'm not taking that deal. Collingwoods 1sts are likely picks in the 20's.
Bobby is great but generally kicks goal and a bit a game. Allan has 0 runs and pick 23 and 21 are not that enticing.
Bobby does far more than kick goals. He’s one of the most unselfish small forwards in the game. The things he does to set others up is elite. And his aerial game..

Bobby is much more than a goal kicker for us.
Fwiw, I think the rumour is utter bs.

Alex Condon's management and the club will sit down and have talks in the next few months as he gets to the 3 years unregistered; which is the starting point where you can add someone as a cat B, and talk about what that may look like as a cat B contract for 2025 onwards, even though he is still aiming for NBA as unlikely and hard as that may be.
He is great but that game this week was his best game ever, maybe baring 1. He does lots of nice things, but he is a 1 game in 8 superstar. 7 out of 8 of his games are above average forward pocket games.
Let's say for arguments sake Bobby is worth pick 5. He probably isn't but let's say we are forced to trade him for that.
West Coast would want pick 1+2 for Reid
While we are offering pick 21, 23, 5(Hill) and Allan.
It's a win for us that trade.
The only reason you would let Bobby go would be if he was desperate to go. Otherwise, stupid call.
West coast would be pretty silly to let Reid go but one player doesn't make a team. I'd rather bring in 2-3 good, solid players rather than one. Imagine bringing in a bloke on 1.5 a year, trading out round 1 picks and he goes down and does a knee in round 1. No depth, no back up, all done.

Agree he is great. Doesn't get it that much but the rest: pressure, goals assists, goals and tackling is elite.

An elite small forward capable of tearing games apart like Bobby is well worth pick 5 there’s only a few players in the entire comp that are comparable. No idea why you’d think otherwise.

Doesn't need to get it much to do his role properly.
He is close to that if we had to trade him. I don't think you are the best judge of what players are worth from what I have seen of your posts.
