List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016 part 2 - see Mod Warning p 281

[WakeUpPies]

All for Rockliff. Would be like Swan never retired. As for off field issues, see Didak and Shaw. This "rebuild" has been an epic failure so far. Roll the dice. Bring in Wells, Mayne, Rockliff and go for a flag.

 

[OnceKicked50]

Agreed.
He would be utilised better at a club that wouldn't rely on him so much as well. Instead of being that guy having to get it and get a quick handball backwards out, he could spend a bit of time forward of centre, get a bit of outside ball and use his smarts.

Edit: not trying to take a pot-shot at the lions haha.

Not sure handballs are classified as a Mark...

 

[TradeDraft]

Did Wells say anything on Mangrook Footy Show?

 

[Aishole]

Not sure what you're alluding too ?

 

[Bussie]

Kaden Brand from the Hawks is looking for more opportunities, 22, 198cm key defender, good mark, still early days though. Reckon he could be a fit down back for us.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I couldn't tell you with 100% certainty - but if what I understand is correct, it comes down to:

• Poor relationships with players and staff
• Drinking regularly during the AFL season
• Illicit drugs during the off-season

 

[regpies]

Rockliff won't happen, he expects a 5yr 800k a year deal. He rates himself very highly.

Yes yes and yes. strong, tall, neatly skilled and young. YES please

 

[Matt_352]

Kaiden Brand decent? Will he be better than Brown?

 

[Obese Arachnid]

If this is in fact true not sure how we get that trade done anyway.

Witts + Frost and draft picks ain't going to do it.

It's obvious, we get Wells, Mayne, Santos L Halper as FA's. Then we package them with Frost, Oxley & pick 72 for Rocky.

Simples.








In before a sad sack points out you can't on trade FA's, the rest is spot on!

 

[PicaBoo]

Kaiden Brand decent? Will he be better than Brown?

Better than in Yellow and Brown for sure.

 

[jmac70]

This pre-trade period has left me dazed and confused.

[Alexander323bc]

I call bullshit as that is overs

It's only overs if you need to stock pile young players because you are re building. Last time I checked GWS have a bucket load of top 20 picks playing in the reserves. They have the luxury to pay overs for gun players!

 

[RupetFan]

I call bullshit as that is overs

They can do that. They've got Lobbe who will be better then Patton. They are already in a premiership window.

 

[FuManchu]

Jong isnt a good player, he played well in the VFL but he's pretty ordinary most the time.

That's not correct. He's hard at it and reasonably paced and skilled and knows where the goals are.

 

[Prochard123]

Is there a thread with a summary of all the collingwood related trade news?... 539 pages is an awful lot to read.

 

[10571z]

Rockliff won't happen, he expects a 5yr 800k a year deal. He rates himself very highly.

So we could have him for the price of Mayne and wells? I'd take that

 

[FuManchu]

Is he a free agent?

 

[Tazzaye]

You srsly think Bucks and Rocky would get along c'mon

 

[THATSGOLD]

We get Rockliff and I'll start believing again.

 

[Matt_352]

Better than in Yellow and Brown for sure.

Will he be better than Nath though!?

 

[RupetFan]

We get Rockliff and I'll start believing again.

If we got him 6months later we're in the same situation you'd be "Rockliff was always a bad move, Sack Buckley"

 

[Hardas]

We get Rockliff and I'll start believing again.

In what?

 

[Matt_352]

In what?

As a kpd
