List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[gtrain23]

Why don’t we chase stringer once and if we secure Houston? He’d be perfect for us as he can be injected in the guts sporadically and will give jordy and co a chop out. 30 to 40 goals a year. He has a good 2 years in him. If we secured him and Houston we’d be a serious contender next year

Clearly you haven’t heard McRae called stringer fat and there was a punch on

 

[JuniorB]

Can you expand on that?

Big, fat Stringer.

 

[Seedsfan]

I feel like today's about when the Ginnivan news broke last year.

When does the Quaynor news break? The love triangle's third and last member!

Care to elaborate?

 

[loki04]

It's not hubris. It's because historically Collingwood rarely finish near the bottom of the ladder. In the last 20 years we've finished bottom 4 only two times. End of 2020 the odds were just as likely for us to drop or rise a couple of spots, as shown by our meteoric rise back up a

Imo many on here sound just like Essendon and Carlton supporters in the late 90s.

The 3 teams fortunes were reversed most that decade.

Every team will eventually come down.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Care to elaborate?

Ginni, Noble & IQ are besties. I'm guessing that's the reference.

 

[Jen2310]

The Ginnivan news broke a day before the end of trade period from memory. Deal done next day.

It was.. I unfortunaely remember this way too easily, the monday of the final week. It was mentioned he toured hawks facilities after he got back from bali.
But it was around this time the media was urging him to leave once the shultz deal seemed to be happening.

Up there with one of the greatest stories Ive read on here.

Since when is Noble in that crew? It used to 100% be Bianco.

I'd rather sound like an Essendon supporter in the late 90's right before they won a premiership in 2000 and had one of the most dominant seasons in history in 2001, than whatever this outlook you're trying to spruik right now is.

and Huddo on trade day Foxtel all barracking urging Carlton to pull the trigger on Houston and use pick 12


Really quite sickening the media

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He probably still is one of his besties. But he's been gone from the Pies for a while now

Murphy was too. As were the Brown brothers.

I assumed the poster was referring to the last 3 .. Ginni, Nobes, IQ. IQ being the only one still at the Pies.

We see now why we where so Keen to Trade him Away

At Pick 6 we drafted the Rising Star. A player who kicked 40 goals in a team that came within a kick of winning a premiership.

A player Kevin Sheehan labelled the best talent and best player in the draft.

Obviously, in hindsight, it’s easy to say it was a wasted pick and we should have drafted a player who has developed better, but can we stop pretending recruiters are supposed to see through a crystal ball and know that Stephenson is going to struggle with professionalism/motivation as his career progresses?

This revisionist expertise is kind of astounding.

As if Collingwood wouldn’t have done their due diligence with medicals and psych analysis - you can’t be seriously questioning that because his career went to pot?

Why'd he go pick 6 then? Clearly he was best in the draft and masterful recruitment by pies.

Before the draft there were already leaks about teams ahead of us who ruled him out, and a big part was his medical condition with a view he'd struggle to gain lean mass and potential side effects (he had seperate medical to alleviate the health side of it).

Also since when do we recruit players for a single season especially their first?

Many on here have stated you don't draft players for what they can do in year 1. Hanging your hat on his 2018 and then claiming him a success for our team of which he is gone from for dicking Beakers cup and on top of that had drastically fell away on field shows limited improvement in most areas and went backwards on the score board.
Then over 6 years remains largely the same player says he is a poor selection at pick 6 for Collingwood fc.
To argue otherwise is taking the piss.

If an agreement in principle to send Richards to Port and Houston to us involves us getting 13 it wont matter a shit if Carlton offer 12 now really. Id love to know what the list mangers think listening to this bullshit for 2 weeks

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a heart condition as well

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

We see now why we where so Keen to Trade him Away

Let's just say there's a reason why he likes the horses so much, and his passion for it has not abated since going to the Hawks.

If you know, you nose.

Quaynor reminds me of the guy in once were warriors doing weights with car parts.
Then this year he goes to the pub and runs into "Jake the muss".

Totally correct
They didn’t even mention Richards .. lol

 

[RobJD]

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a heart condition as well

I recall a quote that was attributed to Arnie when he saw his heart specialist after his heart surgery - "Tell me Doc, am I well enough to see the bill?"

 

[Tadpole]

Gee thanks. You just put me right off my pizza.

 

[Pistol Night]

The threesome has been broken up.

IQ can stay with us

IQ finally gets rid of his 2 ugly mates that hang off him when out and about. Would be quite nice being Qs wingman actually. Pick up the scraps

It's Essendon after 2001. BTW their most dominant season in history was 2000...

2001 was the start of the reign of the Lions 4 GFs tripple premiership team.

Essendon then proceeded to try top upand lived mediocre before dropping off a cliff and staying there by and large for 20 years.

what I am trying to "spruik" is the theory that pies can avoid an eventual bottom out after the exodus of 30 plus crew by trading and not bringing in more elite youth to help ND long term.
Seems to be a perception the Geelong way is the right way with ignoring the fact of the stars Geelong traded in. Danger Cameron Touhey et el

Tldr is Both ess and Carlton also didn't think what was coming could happen to them they were so good at contending back then

Wouldn’t have a Scooby doo. Deja poo however is the feeling you’ve seen this crap before.

 

[Jasper84]

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a heart condition as well

Which was likely caused by his rampant and admitted steroid use. Bold strategy suggesting that we look for players with PED related heart conditions. Let's see how it how it pays off.

 

[Quicky]

Im not a fan of selling the farm for a (albeit very good) half back flanker, when our small defenders arent our problem. But even I think that Houston will make us better.

I rate Maynard and IQ very highly, Houston makes that department even better. Our rebounding and transition game, already good, will become a real weapon. I'll much prefer Houston's precision to Johnny Nobles long kicks to nobody in particular,

My gripe with getting him is that he will be expensive, and getting him denies us the opportunity to fix what is really wrong with the list: the midfield and Key positions.

The midfield should be okay short term. Mitchell will return. Perryman adds some depth.

I think with our key forwards we're content with the mix we have. I get the feeling we've spent on McStay and won't spend more this off season.

The bit i'm worried about is full back. I'm not a big fan of Frampton who is inconsistent. I wish there were some rumours around key defenders.
