Out of those few brisbane players who would everyone want
As i honestly havent seen many of those guys play who would be the top choice

Hanley is the best out of all of them.Zorko is really emerging but efficiency lets him down.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Please don't mention Varcoe around here. I don't mind seeing totally ludicrous trades being bantered around, those I can ignore.

Mentioning Varcoe borders dangerous.

Please, no more

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Beams for 4 & Mayes
Lumumba for 22
28 for Greenwood
4 & ??? for Pick 1

Welcome to Collingwood

Petracca, Mayes, Moore, Greenwood, McKenzie

Juice me up, how do/did we get Petracca?

For god sakes man, he's like a lost dog (cat) who needs a new home.

Pick 4 & Brown i rkn would get it done

 

[KJpie]

So the bombers want hamish hartlett for ryder
Why does everyone think pick plus a gun for beams is so far
For **** sake

I'd do a straight swap Hartlett for Beams.

The Bummers are dreaming.

Saints are rebuilding though, doubt they'd take brown but I'm all for it

NT, when/if fit varcoe is a gun- we've all seen him turn games in 15mins- am I missing something?

The problem the dons hve is that Ryder can go to the courts and try and walk to another club for nothing..

 

[KJpie]

Yeah, I misheard. Went back and listened to the interview again and Rockliff wasn't one of the 4 Schwab mentioned. Posted edited accordingly.

Was'nt aware of the Schwab comment mate, just paying credit to your post based on what I had already heard and the info I was privy to.

Hope he does go to court and wins.

Fair enough.

Just a quick question his guys.

If we gain Greenwood and Redden and lose Beams(along with a draft pick or two).

Is our midfield stronger than it was with Beams? Or weaker?

More even depth, less top end quality. Considering where we had games last year where Macaffer, Williams, Lumumba and Blair were required centre square midfielders, I would not mind having the depth.

A lot of this hinges on whether Swan can get back to his high standard. If he can, then having the depth will benefit us greatly over the long term. In 2-3 years a midfield core of Pendles, Broomhead, Freeman, Redden, Greenwood, etc looks quite handy.

F##k that I hope they all lose.

The only one I have respect for is Zaharakis, at the time he was just a young man yet he refused to inject whilst senior members chose otherwise.

Credit where credit's due and David has earn't it in spades.

Your welcome at Collingwood David.

Stronger for sure.

Two quality players who will ensure we have a good midfield with nice depth around Pendlebury, Swan and Sidebottom.

 

[MooreTreloar]

So Melbourne get pick 3 as compo, can't say Im surprised, though I think it's bloody pathetic. This isn't charity.

Pushes Brisbane out to pick 5.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I am starting to warm up to Redden honestly. Beams for 4 + Redden and a swap of second round picks.

We on-trade 24 to North for Greenwood.

Out: Beams, 28
In: 4, Redden, Greenwood

Not ideal, but a decent outcome. I would still want Mayes or Aish, but if Brisbane want to dig their heels in and be unreasonable...

I'd be very happy with this.

Respectfully, there's your answer.

End of first round would have been plenty.

It'd be stronger overall, but no better in the disposal department

 

[Bard]

Will Melbourne receiving pick 3 for Frawley help our case if we wanted to try get pick 2 off them? I doubt we'd find a way to snag pick 1, but getting Brayshaw would be huge IMO, and a far better fit for our needs than what we get for pick 4.

Skills can be improved people
North melb all around arent that good so maybe as soon as one of the best ball usuers ever steps in may turn few things around

They aren't trading 2. They just bid on Heeney today so they're desperate for some grunt through there.

St Kilda won't trade pick 1, especially not for Brown and pick 4. They would want pick 4 and half our list. They will be too greedy to get anything done with pick 1
