Damn auto correct"Anything is impossible" haha
I wouldn't say strong chance, but until an announcement is made, there are no guarantees.So Broomy still a Strong Chance of Returning too SA then?
Exactly. Daisy was working on his contract as well.....jumpers out of bins.....egg on face.Hate to tell you Dave, but saying you're working through a contract negotiation is a far cry from 'committing' to the club.
Until pen goes to paper, anything is impossible unfortunately.
Does that sound like someone who is also Rumoured to Leave would Say?
A player will never give an indication that they intend to leave.
There is no good reason for them to do so.
There are only bad reasons for them to do so.
Firstly, the player's manager would shoot them if they gave any indication of leaving, even internally to the club. That is because it would undermine the manager's ability to negotiate a good contract for the player. Remember, the player managers are on commission - IIRC around 10%. Reckon Conners could have negotiated a 4 + 1 year deal for Daisy on $750kpa if Daisy had come out and said "I desperately want to get out of Collingwood and follow Mick to Carlton"???
Secondly, the club would shoot the player if they said in the media that they wanted to leave the club. That's because it'd be an unwanted distraction to the current season. Does the coach select the player or not? There will be members and fans with fitchforks laying siege to the club either way.
The most a player will say is "I want to put off my contract talks until the end of the season". In the case of Buddy, Scully and Daisy it meant "I what to get out of here". In the case if Cloke (and others) it meant "I want to stay, but I want more money."
Never believe anything a player says when they're talking about their contract. Ignore the "wanna be a one club player", or "I wanna use this year to prove myself and put off contract talk until the end", etc, etc. That's just stuff their manager or media trainer has coached them to say.
We have no idea whether they're saying the truth (sometimes) or lying through their teeth (sometimes).
I wouldn't say strong chance, but until an announcement is made, there are no guarantees.
For what it's worth, I think they will both stay, but I'll feel a lot better once an announcement is made.
Collingwood have reportedly approached retiring West Coast ruckman, Dean Cox about a potential one-year deal that would involve a playing/coaching role with an eye to a full-time ruck coach at the club.
True but they don’t talk up the Team if they are leaving.
Yes, they do talk up the team if they're in a club organised press conference beside two team-mates ahead of a match (as BK was)
It's so not worth getting bent out of shape about at this point. (or ultimately at any point). We can't affect the outcome or know what the outcome will be at this point. BK and Broomy will stay or they'll go or one will stay and the other go. Either way, life will go on and stressing about it now won't make any difference.
Kennedy or broomehead who would u rather? I'd take Kennedy
Well Kennedy has said he would say and drafted_hawks has pretty much said the same thing about Broomhead
And that might be true or it might be bullshit. We can't know and trying to get to a point where you think you know for sure what will happen is a waste of time. Just roll with it.
What does everyone think is most likely this trade offseason for us?
Yes.Mitch Clark anybody?
Meeting with his manager in 10 days to discuss a possible return!
