News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

I think it frees up some money, and maybe he has been an agitator within the 4 walls of the club (which a lot of people will think is a good thing).

I do note that a few people that are closely associated with Eddie (by way of the tight indigenous group) seem fairly disgruntled with the club (CEY, Cameron etc). Given Eddie’s influence it wouldn’t surprise me if some of that sentiment is shared, or comes from, Eddie. but I am just spitballing and have no basis for any of this.

I think they were offended by the Indigenous aspect to the camp whatever that was. Inappropriate use of an object from memory.

Is it better to a lower pick for eddie and pay some of his salary or a late pick and pay none

I think the former. Can't imagine we go close to the TPP this year anyways

They are talking 42 or something with us paying or 72 and paying none or less

Is 42 that good,

If you had more cap room, renegotiate some contracts forward pay some, so when the likes of fog and milera get better you have banked some cap room and it evens itself out

So if football fairy tales are what it's all about I guess we look forward to having back:

Danger
Davis
Gunston
Lever
Cameron
McGovern

I can’t believe it’s us that wants him out.
Surely we aren’t close to the cap either.

Eddie turns 33 in 6 weeks. The history of small fowards suggests a very steep decline at 32-33 - look at the last years of Stephen Milne, Brad Johnson, Stevie J, Michael O'Loughlin, Jeff Farmer, Mark LeCras, Jason Akermanis, Paul Chapman.....

Historically, only freak small players contribute beyond their 33rd birthday - Brent Harvey, Leigh Matthews, Kevin Bartlett, Gary Ablett jr - all of whom could still pinch hit in the midfield.

The contract was always a year too long.

 

[Magma]

it would be kind of funny if eddie didnt play a league game next season

 

[Danger in Texas]

MRB37 you hearing that from a good source?

Would like Scharenberg

 

[Elite Crow]

We're trading Jenkins for Scharenberg from the Pies.

 

[Scorpus]

Trading for Scharenberg is bizarre. Didn't we just re-sign Jake Kelly?

Normally doesn’t post info unless it’s happening

Ok, I really dont understand the logic of paying part of Eddie's salary and only getting back a 4th round pick (which we are unlikely to use). To me, it is either one or the other isnt it? I would have thought, fine, we will pay $200k and you give us pick 48...that is a relatively fair trade! Am I missing something? This seems like a terrible result for us. Also, why do we seem to be the only club that permits these type of "homecoming" trades. I mean, fine he wants to move back, but Carlton isnt the only club in Victoria. Why cant we be harder on these type of things!!!!!!

 

[Magma]

how could collingwood afford jenkins?

We're the ones offloading him.

 

[hey shorty]

Could play 2nd KPD ??

Pay cut or we are paying some

 

[MRB37]

Until it happens there's always a chance it doesn't, but seems both sides fairly set on a swap at this point.

 

[Smoooothy]

my guess, paying him base wages, then probably third party media deals for the rest

 

[Magma]

just seems bizarre given their well noted salary cap issues.

not against it at all, in fact it would work out quite well. getting something physical back the other way instead of a nothing pick.

 

[hey shorty]

Sounds like the club gave Eddie a clip on the way out.....

 

[Idontpullout]

They Will have plenty of cash once we sign grundy

 

[the universal]

I don't mind. Low risk, potential for a decent reward if injuries stay away. He's 24 which is a good sort of age to be bringing in at the stage we're currently at.

And Jenkins is finally dealt with.

 

[ChilliP]

Scharenberg has a bonus of being good mates with Grundy. If we can swap Jenkins for Scharenberg and all it does is improve our chances of getting grundy as a free agent then it's a good trade.

Whys that?
