List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

[PiesHateU2]

Think we off all people should know that the brownlow medal is not a true indicator of a players effectiveness.

Jack Viney....

 

[Dtennent94]

Rather than just recruiting May, JUH and Clarry, we could make them our leadership group.

That would certainly turn this ship around.

Jacob Blight is meeting with the pies today.

Source?

 

[gouki88]

And 0 brownlow votes from it.
So makes you wonder that maybe he wasn't hurting with his touches.

Surely we’re not using Brownlow votes as a yardstick after this years debacle

 

[sideswipe]

Probably this Shannon guy.

Shannon looks like he is making the best of his free time in the school holidays

A few of our players follow him on insta, so maybe he does hear things?

 

[SchuPie]

Jacob Blight is meeting with the pies today.

Great option for us

 

[sr36]

The Melbourne environment hasn't exactly been the best in recent years. So maybe he needs a change in environment to rediscover some of his form.

The only question is , what trade compensation are Melbourne seeking?

Is it a case of, the greater the trade offer the lower the new clubs financial commitment will be?

Can definitely rule out trading a first rounder for a 28 yr old player.

We should get Clarry because it must have been tough playing with May. And we should get May because it must have been tough playing with Carry.

Would you pay 2 second round picks to get Oliver on a 550K contract instead of 700K?

 

[Tadpole]

Couldn’t agree more say what you want about Oliver but if they pay $700k and we have to pay only $800k that’s not bad for us! Then unlike Melbourne we have Pendles, Steele ect to pull him up if he out of line like Dangerfield kind of does for smith at cats

Or just send him to meet Maynard down a dark alley. He'd straighten him out quick smart.

 

[thefunnelweb]

We don’t always have to recruit someone based on being a top 0-10 player for us even in Oliver comes and helps 10-22 that’s still a win for our list!

 

[BillyElliott]

Great option for us

Agree. Blight, Buller ...& maybe Tom Blamires as a ssp train on if he's not picked up beforehand.

As well as picking up our f/s, academy kids.

New assistant coach. New development person. Boak

I'm liking it.

 

[Tadpole]

That would certainly turn this ship around.

And have it heading straight for the nearest iceberg.

 

[MooreDaicos]

We are gonna lose our status as a destination club if players don’t hear us making moves on Trade Radio.

I like your sense of humour, you'd be fun at a party

 

[Chrispiesssss]

 

[JuniorB]

And 0 brownlow votes from it.
So makes you wonder that maybe he wasn't hurting with his touches.

I think the 5 years remaining on his contract would be a strong disincentive, even if Melbourne pay a big chunk.
If he doesn't change his ways, he could be a long term disaster.
His best footy is strong, but how likely would we be to get it?

 

[sideswipe]

A few of our players follow him on insta, so maybe he does hear things?

A cursory look at him makes me retract my schoolboy suggestion and hope that he never reads it. He is a unit!

 

[sideswipe]

And have it heading straight for the nearest iceberg.

If you hit them straight on, it’s ok. That was the Titanic’s mistake

 

[PiesHateU2]

Does anyone from the Pies even read this forum or care for our opionions?
Or is it just a bunch of one-eyed Collingwood fans discussing our club's trade affairs like it's our day jobs

 

[BillyElliott]

I can't work out if he's trying to be funny or he's serious

If they did, we would have a list of 100 of manicpie chosen players lol

 

[MooreDaicos]

That would certainly turn this ship around.

We are the Titanic now?

 

[MooreDaicos]

It has to be a humourous thing, surely. Dry sense of humour to spice up our day?

Who the f**k is Jacob blight
