Pies 2011 Official Trade Rumour Thread - Part II

[Primetime Pricey]

i would be surprised and disappointed if we allow McCarthy to leave for nothing. Surely he needs to be traded if he wont stay

Agree with you Mate.

A team should be interested in him

Seriously, any wonder Hine is so good with his competition out there!

Collingwood had Toovey, Macaffer, McCarthy potentially available to other clubs. Without starting ability arguments, they are in the top 28 players in one of the top two performing sides of recent years. It is a compromised draft. Some of the trades I have seen other sides make leave me bewildered.

We are the richer so far if all we are going to do is delist our rookies and bottom tier players.

Glad to see Hine/Bucks not sit on their hands like other teams.

Edit my last post: Geelong have snuck in youngster Stephen Wells....funny how the top two clubs seem to know what to do FFS

She's all over.

Apparently we tried to get rid of McCarthy late, but no one would offer anything higher then a 4th round pick (North is the rumour).

McCarthy might walk now.

Re: Any Suprise Last Day Trades for Pies

Should have just done the deal if that was the case matty, unless the club wants to retain J-Mac.

Pretty poor effort that IMO for a player who most likely will walk anyway.

I think Hine/Walsh and co would have seen another late pick as being irrelevant basically, as we probably wouldn't use it if we traded for it. (Or wouldn't use one of the later picks anyway).

We didn't need more late round draft picks, I'd say we held out for a 2nd or at worst a 3rd round pick that never came, so we will take our chances now.

I'll back the club to retain both IMO, they have ways of making these things work out.

Re: Any Suprise Last Day Trades for Pies

We need to make some obligatory changes to our list, McCarthy is an ideal candidate for de-listing, not fussed about getting nothing for him.

 

[HFF]

Re: Any Suprise Last Day Trades for Pies

^^^ Where does this leave our list management issues though?

We've acquired 3 new players but nobody has gone out apart from Leroy Brown.

How many players do we now need to cull in order to take the minimum 3 draft picks in next months draft?

Re: who's to move on? who's to stay? any surprise retirees??

J Mac for sure will be nominate for draft/ delisted
macaffer will walk aswell imo

Re: Any Suprise Last Day Trades for Pies

really suprised no one made a play at macaffer, does this mean no teams rate him and have i watched the grand final replay to many times?

 

[coollinnggwwood!]

Re: who's to move on? who's to stay? any surprise retirees??

i believe that caff will take a pay cut but its one of the other to move on... depends who wants to play for us

Re: who's to move on? who's to stay? any surprise retirees??

Damian Barrett was just trying to indicate (on TWR post trade week closure) that he is not convinced Leon Davis (after the Liam Pickering interview this morning) will stay on and that he is apparently still considering whether or not to go on.

I thought I had heard that he had committed to Bucks that he would go around again but I suppose he could be a shock retiree.

The one thing I read on that was that Leon was going off to WA to consider his options after Bucks spoke with him about staying on.

 

[sloth6]

Just his weekly rant on Collingwood.

Must be written into his contract to have one Collingwood rumour / story per week.

 

[JA27]

so damo isnt still running with the "a big name will leave st kilda" stories?

 

[smiddaz123]

Re: Any Suprise Last Day Trades for Pies

We were after Tommy Walsh from St Kilda for the record. Maybe we would've moved JMac on if we landed him. Not sure.

Fairly happy with our trade week overall.

That would have beena good move IMO. We still lack KP cover up forward. Would have been cool to have a quartet of Irish blokes in the side too!

Nup, just know we were after Walsh and a young guy called Will Johnson from the Saints.

No idea how hard we were chasing them or what we offered though.

The same Will Johnson that got in trouble at Vic Park late in the VFL Season?
