Trade hypotheticals

[LukeParkerno1]

No, most clubs won't touch him because he is an ordinary player and turnover merchant off half back

Especially at the Collingwood asking price

 

[Goats]

Anyone else heard that Higgins is on his way to the Swans?

78% DE. He's not a great kick, but the turn over merchant myth is BF BS.

 

[markm106]

If Collingwood want a 2nd round pick for Lumumba I doubt Melbourne would be given their one up.

I was thinking about him a replacement for Malceski

I'm a little concerned Higgins is coming to Carlton. No Syd, I don't think the salary cap situation will support a Higgins type FA coming.

What if we traded off Mitchell for a pick
Retirements of Goodes, Okeefe and Shaw
Malceski could leave
Tommy Walsh, Marsh and Lockyer delisted

I'm pretty sure a bomb up the line to a contest is counted as an effective kick

Doubt he would get a game for swans even with retirements.

 

[Sydswans0512]

I think we could turn him into an A grade player he has all the skills

 

[go you pups]

Leigh Adams for Jeff Garlett

I like that one, Adams would be a direct Robinson replacement and doesn't bring the baggage with him, Garlett would help Norths lack of pace outside of dinosaurs like Harvey and Wells.

Exactly - usually while he's caught in a tackle

 

[Men of Steele]

Against St. Kilda he had a good game...St Kilda.
Since Ablett has been out his output has been down massively.
Crouch is the better player now and always.
19 year old getting 40 touches against the best team in the comp...compared with prestia getting 31 against St Kilda

And one of them missed the under 23 AA team... would you believe it

 

[DangerSloane]

Crouch missed much of the year with injury, so thats very understandable.

He had the most votes in our best and fairest for the 2nd half of the season.
He will be better than O'Meara and Wines and Prestia....and thats not bias talking.

Great bloke. Great family. But not a Sydney type I think. Too outside - and if he does try to go inside his body lets him down.....

 

[KnaveyBlue]

That's true. Most of his turnovers come from getting caught holding the ball when he does stupid u-turns or tries to take on the entire opposition team.

Why would Malceski leave? Swans saw him through a difficult period post his knee reconstruction, and both have reaped the rewards. I assume it's for a larger contract that he probably feels he deserves?

Would he leave on a sour note if it came to be?

And as for Higgins - I think he'd work well at Sydney running off a half-back. Although one of my mates at work is an avid Doggies supporter (the buddy-cash waving fan from a few weeks ago - who was not being racial BTW) believes/heard that Higgins has issues with the coach as he doesn't want to be played off half-back... Make of that what you will.

If you could find the magic formula to stop him getting injured yeah

Higgins wants more midfield time apparently - but is behind a long list of better mids or better potential mids - so is unlikely to get his wish.

I thought he had to retire when Judd pulled his arm out of it's socket.

Why would Mal leave? He hasn't signed for next year

Few scenarios:
Jonathan gilles end up at the dons
Sam Reid to Carlton for jeff garlett, Zack tuohy and pick (first or second round)
Mitch Clark to the hawks psd wouldn't be suprised if Leroy jetta signed aswell.
Jarrod waite joins freo
Shaun Higgins signs with Carlton

Mitch Clark is not going to slip to pick 17/18 in the PSD, there are 5-6 clubs that will pick him up before Hawthorn have the chance.

I think which ever club he publicly declares he wants to go to he will end up. Maybe wishful thinking that he comes to the hawks though. But would suit our system pretty well, also possibly best chance at success. The only other club I could maybe see him going to is the pies .

Sydney get royally bent over! 2 blokes that won't make their 22 for a guy in their 22...sounds fair? What a ridiculous trade. Meh on Giles, solid but I prefer other options. Would rather go after Callum Sinclair.
