Rumour Will Wells come to Collingwood now that he's leaving North? YES!

[Smoky]

I propose the welcome to the club thread should actually have some details in the OP about the player involved...

Rather than just a simple "more info to come"

Doubt he'll go elsewhere, we would be the only club willing to offer that contract

We are the only club paying that money.

 

[stevo86]

we might be paying him 800-900 next year then diddly the one or two years after... we have a sht load of cap space.. so he might be worth that money next year. So not that bad if you look at it that way

Hi all, as you may have noticed the thread title has been changed as nothing has officially happened.
We have been in discussion with Dave and requested he only start a thread when the club officially announces it.
In future any premature welcome threads will be deleted.

Saying he's nominated Collingwood is not the same as being signed by Collingwood

We're just asking everyone to be accurate when making these announcements.

If you mean when it's announced?
It's a great idea that way it's official.

Well I do go early but the 1st Reports where he had Signed then Changed to Nominating

This thread should be merged with the Tom Longeron thread

Nah, the Freeman thread would be better

Wells is exactly the type of player we needed in 2013. I just can't see point right now - other than desperation to make finals for Buckley's tenure. His injury issues just make it all the more questionable. Best case scenario is he has 3 good years and helps us get later draft picks by pushing us to 6th. The horse has already bolted. We are supposed to be rebuilding.

Hope someone doesnt jump in before you like Jeremy Howe last year ;-)

Good god for a moment then I thought you were going to accuse me of wanting geelong cats gifs. Gee wiz that was close.

And where are the dancing unicorns with cats on their back??

and you will never have a strong side when you expose to many kids at the one time. just ask Melbourne from the late 2000's. ask GWS why they brought in Steve Johnson. it's a calculated risk by the club. the club would have wanted and expected Swan to play 2 more years. this has not eventuated and brought in a professional player that can act as both a mentor and if managed correctly a more then handy player.

Yeah right makes perfect sense we must not have enough old players. Lets go after all the 30 year olds. I mean our average age is pretty much identical to the Dogs and they were disgraceful this year

 

[Seedsfan]

You can sometimes be the biggest ball breaker! Wells is an excellent addition to our list. It's not like we have come out and recruited another Clinton Young through FA here, we have someone that can help us move up the ladder.

Hang on a minute Clinton Young was the missing link. What is the point of recruiting a 32 year old to help get you to 7th? And then retire

So we are making finals next year? Good to see your positivity has increased.

Looks like the horse is about to get a left hook.

Three years for a 32 year old is crazy.

Who said it was Definitely 3 Years Straight?

I can live with two years with the option for a third depending on performance. I think he's a talented player but it's a risky decision given his injury history.
