Collingwood Magpies 2014 Offseason Thread

[Pleasedontfail11]

I think its a sure thing our first pick will be used on Moore, he is worth more than what we are giving for him so I'm happy with that.

Yeah will be a first round pick, unless the Dogs or Blues have plans for their first round picks that they don't want to risk by bidding.

Updated OP for those who care.

 

[domin8tors]

Blues will bid. Pies will match.

I understand the hope of Pies fans though. It's only natural.

not so sure, the blues are offering up their pick for Tom Mitchell so I'd say still watch this space.

 

[Collingwood42]

Why is Watts being mentioned here?
Re Oddhawk, undoubtedly unlikely, but definititely possible.

I thought the same too, but have heard from someone that Lamumba and Blair for Watts and Clark is on the cards

They can still trade it for Tom Mitchell (as it will be still available after Collingwood matches their bid).

yes but that's a gamble because there is no gurantee that we will bid, then they are stuck with Moore and not the player they wanted in mitchell

But then they will get Moore, who would be best available at pick 7.

Moore is easily worth Pick 8 and IF Hine Passes up. He will make a Massive Mistake

Could you guys win any harder? Seriously that is shocking for Melbourne.

Seems pretty certain that you will though. I mean...why wouldnt you?

But we may be happy with Moore or Mitchell. We still need talls anyway.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

.... Jeez you must really rate Moore. Im pretty sure every club on this land would prefer someone like macartin or wright over him. If there has to be someone with the highest ceiling in this draft, it would be Peter Wright, Huge forward/ruck with unbelievable agility, skills strength etc.

Nah he's right re: Moore. As it stands if you wanted to win a premiership in the next three years, McCartin and Wright are probably going to impact a game more. But once Moore gets into an AFL club and begins to further his development, lets just say the other two can't run 100m in under 12 seconds. He's not a stick like Jared Grant either and can take contested grabs. Still a fair bit to go, but there's a lot to work with there.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Also McCartin is pidgon-holed as a key forward, Wright is your KP/ruck. Moore can be KPF/KPB/ruck.

 

[loki04]

Whats Jarryd Blair worth trade wise?

Probably a fringe player or 4th rounder.

 

[loki04]

1st round is fine. Pick #8 is around what he's worth.

Yep no bargain FS for us /feels ripped off, on the other hand other clubs and supporters will be happy.

 

[TradeDraft]

My Tip:

-Moore to pies for 1st Round Pick
-Lumumba to Dees for Pick 22 to be done in the 1st 2-3 Days
-Beams trade to go down to the last 15 Minutes

 

[Unknown Identity]

My Tip:

-Moore to pies for 1st Round Pick
-Lumumba to Dees for Pick 22 to be done in the 1st 2-3 Days
-Beams trade to go down to the last 15 Minutes

Moore at Pick 8 is a certainty.
Lumumba will go to Dees for 33 (Pick Cats give for Clark)
Beams trade won't be left that late, will not happen with the extended trade period.

The Adelaide recuitment manager was on AA and said Moore was a gun. Said if he was on the open market he would be top 5. Sounds like he will still be worth your first pick.

He is worth it Easily.

Was Domiante at CHF in the Prelim and Granny for Oakleigh

Congratulations to Pendles on back to back B&F's. Well done to 'H' for attending
Lack of class to D.Beams for no show.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Wondering what you guys think of this? 5-team trades are usually hilariously unlikely but in this case it's really two separate deals involving Collingwood - a Clark/Lumumba deal and a Beams/Greenwood deal.

Clark to Geelong for pick 33
Lumumba to Melbourne for pick 33

Beams and pick 33 to Brisbane for picks 4 and 22
Greenwood to Collingwood for pick 22
____

Collingwood get: Greenwood, pick 4
Collingwood lose: Beams, Lumumba

Brisbane get: Beams, pick 33
Brisbane lose: Pick 4, pick 22

Geelong get: Clark
Geelong lose: pick 33

Melbourne get: Lumumba
Melbourne lose: Clark

North Melbourne get: Pick 22
North Melbourne lose: Greenwood

f**k greenwood.

we dont need to add to the list of poor users of the pill at the club.

The trade was based on this article saying you guys were heavily into him.

Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs have made strong plays for out-of-contract North Melbourne midfielder Levi Greenwood, who is weighing up his future this weekend.

The Magpies, who have a more urgent need for mature midfielders given the imminent exit of Heritier Lumumba and likely departure of Dayne Beams, are understood to have offered a more significant contract to Greenwood than North, which is awaiting word on the 25-year-old's decision.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

The lack of respect/knowledge on Greenwood is not surprising

Agree. I've got a couple of North mates that love him. Got a bit of mongrel about him and looks to be coming into his own with a sustained run at it. They are spewing that we might be able to pry him away.

mate they tried to make him a tagger when he is a ball player and he finally got the crack at it and became a extremely good player. He would be a fantastic pick up if possible
