2015 Draft, Trades and Free Agency rumours.

[calder_daddy]

Is it? Source?

Nothing that I can put on here
I don't have any big footy credentials yet but this will be the start of it.

 

[calder_daddy]

Huh, I'd be open to trading with Collingwood. 1st round pick would do nicely.

You won't recieve a first round draft pick for anyone except maybe heppel, Hurley and daniher until this wada problem leaves them alone.
Too much risk for clubs picking them up

It seems we may be speaking to the same person/people Calder_Daddy....

There was something like that floating on our board a week ago. Mentioned Carlisle contacted the Pies . That got a cold shower pretty quickly and convincingly . Maybe your source hasn't caugt up with that.

 

[Lemma]

Where do all these 'sources' come from? Are they inside the club?

 

[Lemma]

Bombers didn't get Carlisle in the Burgoyne trade, they got a draft pick. They could've taken a lot of different players.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

For those doubting Carlisle's worth, even discounting WADA, Jono O'Rourke got a 1st round pick. Enough said.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Carlisle preferred destination is collingwood

Yeah not sure how reliable the guy that told me this is. I hope we get him

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Surely the pies can't get Treloar, Aish and Carlisle?

Usually people claiming they have a source, hoping it's right and then hopefully building a portfolio of correct guesses to maintain some sort of authority around the BigFooty traps.

But of course if they're wrong they blame their "source" and never admit that they were taking a complete potshot!

It would be an impressive effort if Collingwood could satisfy GWS, Brisbane and Essendon to land the three biggest targets in one trade period.

I honestly give us a chance at satisfying both Brisbane (as hard as that was last year) and GWS, but I don't know about Essendon.

Aside from trade value, I'm not sure Carlisle is a good fit for us and the supposed culture that Bucks is trying to build.

My thoughts too. Very entertaining but a bridge too far I reckon. And on top of that we want to keep Scharenberg .

It could work out as (if Scharenberg leaves):

Scharenberg for Port's pick 8/9
On traded to Essendon for Carlisle
Treloar and GWS's pick 28/29 for Collingwood's pick 7/8 and 25/26
Aish for future 1st round pick.

I that would satisfy all parties reasonably.

The only way I could see us satisfying Essendon is if they wanted a swap with Witts. Not sure if be happy with that given the WADA stuff hanging over his head and Witts' potential. I desperately want us to keep him, but I'm not sure he or Grundy can function together in the same team

Even if you get a first round pick for Scharenberg? We'd most likely take that.

The WADA thing is a good point and it's a wonder if it'll look like being sorted any time soon, or if you can take a calculated risk by including the necessary clauses in his contract.

But you're right about Witts. Sometimes you can't just hold on to potential forever. Sometimes you've gotta take a risk and cash in on it.

I'd probably rather give up Witts than a Pick 8 (as you suggested) to Essendon. I think a usable ruckman would be of more value to Essendon than a first round pick anyway. Some will probably say otherwise though.

That's obviously a hypothetical if Scharenberg left though.

I'm not convinced Scharenberg is leaving to be honest. Latest scuttlebutt seems to be that Aish will nominate the Pies, who is best mates with Berg, and Berg's management have begun negotiations with the Pies.

It may all be one big coincidence, but I get the feeling that having the opportunity to play footy with one of his best mates has tipped the scales in Collingwood's favour to retain him.

I do like Witts but if the rumours surrounding Zac Smith from GC are true I'd rather the first pick.

Fair enough, last I heard was that he was most likely going back home.

There was another rumour going around that the Dogs had offered Witts a long term deal and were prepared to part with their first pick for him. Could be potentially on-traded to Essendon in a deal for Carlisle if it comes to fruition.

What's the latest that young players would usually pen a new contract?

If getting Aish was enough motivation for Scharenberg to stay, it's still a risk prior to any trade being completed with Brisbane.

I think Kennedy and Broomhead didn't sign until September last year.
