Past #24: Levi Greenwood - officially traded to Collingwood FC for pick 25 (2014) - retires rd16 2021 due to concussion symptoms - go well Pig

[DarkPhoenix]

Isn't this the issue though:

Could be, but you can chat to the doggies and see whether they'd match that.

Number 36 on my duffel coat ..... still bitter...

Yeah gee he looked good until he left. Went downhill real quick

John Barnett and Ben Davies say Hi.

Am fairly sure John Barnett was Hawthorn?

And Davies was ****ed at both Clubs, although he did have one decent year at the Pies, bit like Greenpig

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Walshy open to trading players and picks, l like the sound of it, l'm sure we have a few eyes on Brisbane and Collingwood's lists for a while.

Once scenario floated to get Beams to Bris .. 3 way deal .. Pies get pick 5 and Greenwood, Roos the Lions' pick 25, Lions get Beams

That is highway robbery at its best.

PSD it is then.

 

[Benno_900]

Brown, no (mainly injuries), Reid yes.

But Brown would come cheap and if we're offering ****ing Higgins 400K, why not Brown?

 

[Gorman2Geister]

Oops just should have said Barnett. He never played ones for the Hawks in the regular season.

 

[Roadrunner]

The other thing I took from that interview that hasn't been mentioned is that Levi still wasn't confident of his place in our midfield.

Pickering said, and it might've been missed, that we offered, in order, 1 year with a 1 year trigger, 2 years with a 1 year trigger, and finally 3 years.

Maybe Levi is thinking he doesn't have the game time once Higgins was recruited. The way the whole situation handle wasn't professionally done. First they gave Levi a 1 year contract and give Higgins 3 years with clauses in place to get a 4th. This is totally insulting.

Ha!!!!!! I was right all along.

I would take Lions' pick 25 AND Pies' pick 30. Gives us 16,25,30,36.

 

[Johndory]

Yeah their list is looking a bit shit at the moment. Less premiums than ever, a smattering of potential and a fair share of hacks. Sidebottom would be ideal but that's not happening, Seedsman maybe? Kennedy could be alright. I don't know. I reckon it'll either be second rounder or Walsh makes him march into the PSD.

Reid would be ideal too but good luck with that haha. I like Seedsman but doubt they'll trade him and Kennedy is way unders and i don't really even rate him tbh. Seen some collingwood posters say they would trade Keeffe i would do that in a heartbeat.

 

[Only Forwards]

Ha!!!!!! I was right all along.

Congratulations, you win the internet.

Here is a potato.

Was Walshy calling from a tropical island? Sounded like he was laid back with a margarita getting some sun while doing that interview and not fussed what is going down.

 

[Spitta09]

Seedsman is just another version of mullet, no thanks. Id have a look at brown. Quality player but his injuries are off putting

He was in Bali's jungles, watching for a chance to strike down Levi.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

So he can join curran and Tarrant...no thanks. Always bloody injured

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

PSD it is then.

Not saying that, l would trade for young Frost.

Why?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Why?

Young KPD, any key defender depth would be desirable at this stage.

 

[Roopassion]

I would take Lions' pick 25 AND Pies' pick 30. Gives us 16,25,30,36.

Agree this would give us some good players to look into, this looks like a draft full of hidden gems. I think this is prob the best case scenario. We could even try move up the order by doing a 2 for one type deal of picks, so that'll give us 3 top 30 kids and 2 up graded rookies

He didn't seem very special to me, why do you rate him?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I think we should try and get them to entertain Levi + 16 for pick 5.

It probably won't get done but I'd prefer to have a free shot at the top 10 than 4 kids in the 16-40 mark (though Bryce is probably the one bloke that could hit success every time on 4 picks in that range).

It's getting harder and harder to cut players each year as we build depth and a strong squad so IMO at least I'd prefer to see one quality kid who was probably going to make it than 4 who may not be here in 2 yrs time.

Basically Levi doesn't get to pick where he goes... per se.

He can nominate all he wants but it doesn't mean we have to get him there.

Collingwood do not "have us over a barrel" in any way shape or form.

We can still let Levi walk into the draft and nominate his price of which all reports point to the dogs being able/willing to match the figure (in fact exceed the figure) outlined by Collingwood within its offer.

What Levi CAN do is refuse to be traded to a club, we couldn't force him to Brisbane for example, so he could just say no to being traded to the other 16 clubs, after which we can choose to take nothing rather than being lowballed and see Levi picked up by a bottom 3 team who would be frothing at the proverbial over him.

would he have to go into pre season draft if he is I contracted in which case he saints or melb would pick him up. Please correct me if I am wrong but he can only nominate for national draft if he is delisted.

I'm not sure on specifics about eligibility for each draft, hell I couldn't tell you the difference between each draft.

He was very good and one of Bucks' success stories - will not be traded.
