Sorry for intruding, but thank you for being clear & transparent.
You’d have to assume if Collingwood are truly interested - it would only be for the value of the contract that Wingard is currently owed by the Hawks. Effectively getting him for free for the year.
Sounds like it’s Chads...
Nicks already in the side, I’m referring to someone who’s ready to play tomorrow and take his sport.
The problem with Adams - is the only way he’s missing games is through injury. He’s been around too long and has too much equity to be dropped.
A Wines/Billings type can slot straight in and...
My gut tells me there’s a short term replacement in Wines or Billings who we’ll bring in - whilst getting games into Mccrae through ‘24.
We can’t have all of our eggs in McCrae’s basket incase he doesn’t turn out
Fly hasn't been adverse to trying something new, so it wouldnt surprise me to see someone like Pendles or Sidebottom start a FF in place of McStay.
I dont think we can afford to flex our backline, (as much as I'd love Framtpon to come in) it has been the pillar to our wins these last few weeks...
Out - Cox, Howe
In - Frampton, Markov (WHE sub)
Howe is a break in case of emergency type for me at this stage of his career. Does a lot of silly things (Maynard handball?!) and doesn’t provide the run out of the backline like he used to.
I’m one of the biggest Cox supporters, and he’s...
If it is WCE that gets the pick - do they use this as a way of salary dumping the likes of Yeo, Nic Nat, Etc?
It would allow them a lot of flexibility to go to the draft AND chase WA talent like Tim English, where they would be able to offer a massive sum, once the big contracts are off the...
Never forget the flack we copped when we traded Treloar, Stephenson, Our first round pick (when coming 17th) and Grundy - over the past few years from this mob.
This proves a well run organisation prevails over one that pays in brown paper bags
Only way to fix this is with a dozen slabs of Carlton Draught, a weekend away over the bye and a few hard truths (maybe a few fists too).
Bigger than a football problem
Will be resigned at Carlton with the expectiation hes going to become a star, only to be the next Jack Martin.
A poor mans Ginnivan, wont ever kick 40 goals in a season.
Cant look at it like that - 18 on its own is more than fair.
Bigger fool us and 16 others who dont position their list year in, year out - to maximise every trade period.
Anything less than 18 though, I'd rather see him walked to the PSD
All in all, you can’t be too mad. Sydney we’re too good, they play the SCG very well and we were coming in off an ordinary week on the track.
I think getting them on the MCG would be a different story.
Bit of an interesting take on Cal Brown here today too.
I’ve been a supporter of his in...
I was at the game last night and how anyone is saying it was a great game, is beyond me
I thought it was one of the worst games I have ever seen. Very Buckley era football from both sides.
No attack at all, just hold possession at half back, kick long down the line to a pack where it’s...
I'm a firm believer that the market dictates prices.
Grundy - an AA Ruckman that had offers from multiple clubs, including those ion his home state. If we werent going to give him that contract, someone else would have. No-One was to know about his injury this year and his form slump post...
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. At least they were willing to pull levers to make the club better.
At the time, Grundy, Treloar and Stevo all earned their contracts.
And just as similarly, at the time, as their contracts tipped into “unfavourable” territory, the club did what was...
Fin signed up for 2 more years, I think he knows what he needs to do between now and his next call up (potentially next year).
Is he stiff, maybe. Is he disgruntled, unlikely.
Nah. Not insurance from that perspective, but I think Cox provides a good alternative should any player go down - in particular the talls which we don’t have many of.
Out:Ruscoe, Carmichael, Henry (sub)
In: IQ, Adams, Grundy (Cox to sub)
I think we can afford to have Cox as a sub, albeit he can only play 2 positions on the ground.
Grundy to assume Coxs role as a forward ruck and allow Cameron to run out most of the game as a ruckman.
Ruscoe, unlucky -...
Yeah fair enough - I’ve learnt to understand that anything Collingwood do is going to have A LOT of scrutiny.
Just look at how ginnivan is being treated right now, and De Goey.
All I care about it is getting better, winnings games and winning flags. Media rubbish is irrelevant.
I always was happy tbh, I thought they were the right moves to be made for the club at the time
McMahons biggest knock is that he can’t crack the senior side. I’m not much of a VFL watcher, but other than injuries, his name isn’t often brought up. Very happy to be wrong - but time is ticking
Treloar has got, at best 4 years left of footy - Henry should have 10-12. I would say Henry has had a bette year than Treloar in 2022.
You don’t know that pick 2 would have got us any more than what we did in 2021. Ginnivan and Mccreery wouldn’t be here, and they’re walk up starts. We would...
Take the emotion out of the Treloar deal and I don’t think it’s that bad, in fact, we probably wouldn’t have got Henry.
It’s evident with how many of these kids are playing in the team today, that we were in dire need of youth at the club - and if it meant that we had to trade our most injury...
Does Ned Guy deserve an apology for the 2020 Trade/Draft period?
Traded:
Treloar - was great last year, but his hammys have gone again and is very unreliable from an availabilty front, availability is the best ability
Stephenson - if we didnt already know, yesterday showed us why
Atu - ditto...
