Thanks Checkers
You gave your all every game
You helped us win a flag
Forever a Pie
Good luck at the Dees, you deserve it

He’ll be sad having to train on Gosch’s Paddock, knowing that the pies are a few hundred metres away

Hill + future 1st for Bailey Humphrey

A midfield rotation of Naicos, Clarry, Humphrey, De Goey, Perryman, Jaicos, Long, Beau and Pendles is good enough to rival any other midfield in the league.

 

[HFF]

2yr deal?
Would have had to be on double tbe coin we would have offered if it isn’t a three year deal

 

[AmericanMustard]

2 years not 3

That’s an interesting little nugget

 

[sideswipe]

2 years not 3

A more meaningful description from Xander is that Brody will be 33 before next season starts

 

[thefunnelweb]

It’s easy for us to sit here and say checkers is past it but 148 goals in the last 3 seasons, I won’t be bitter I’ll just simply say thanks Brodie we all loved watching you play you gave your all great Collingwood person thank you and best of luck

 

[CasuallyDressed]

As somebody who wants to see the best 23 get younger, I'm not going to complain about Checkers leaving.

Will forever be a favourite of mine, though.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Imagine the melts on here if West doesn't line up for us in R1.

 

[HFF]

Imagine the melts on here if West doesn't line up for us in R1.

He doesn’t have to
Mcstay should be in lineup
Buller coming in too obviously to play a role

 

[Harry O]

That’s an interesting little nugget

Might be a very easy trigger for a third year in the contract

 

[Leigh aka Frogs]

If Clubs had the power to force trades to Other Clubs, as is often discussed in the media, then it’d be pretty funny to see:

• Merrett to Carlton
• Curnow to Melbourne
• Oliver to Essendon

 

[manicpie]

Imagine the melts on here if West doesn't line up for us in R1.

Buller would already be pencilled in

 

[granniewolf]

Sad to see Brody go, I think he has plenty of good footy left and Demons have got a bargain.
Just hope he doesn't prove that when playing us.
I hope they're paying him heaps more than we offered.
He will always be a favourite.

 

[Swan4Brownlow]

Let’s not let the end of the season when Brody was clearly injured tarnish our memories of Checkers. Bloke is a warrior and relentlessly threw his body into packs with no regard for his safety.

If he gets his body right he will have plenty to offer the Dees

 

[NQPieman]

I don't think anyone will be bitter. Thanks for the memories and he was a great warrior for us. Also he is now a melbourne player trying to kick goals against my club so I personally couldn't give a fat rats clacker what he does from here on out in his playing career. Same for every player that leaves the pies.

 

[HFF]

We have effectively transitioned half of the veterans this season

Mihocek
WHE
Cox
Mitchell

And then in the next season or two slowly transition the last 4 remaining ones.

This is the best way to have done it rather than keep them all on and tip them all out at once

 

[TradeDraft]

2 years not 3

Guess our offer was not very Big Then or we withdrew us so could sign Elliot

 

[granniewolf]

He doesn’t have to
Mcstay should be in lineup
Buller coming in too obviously to play a role

McStay will need to improve to get selected.

 

[Jen2310]

The new 5th interchange might mean we can play all of mcstay. West and Buller

 

[nickyds35]

Abit confused about it being only a 2 year deal. Our offer must have been well short money-wise if he left for a 2 year deal.

 

[BillyElliott]

McStay will need to improve to get selected.

His arm was in a sling last night, so who knows what injury he may have been carrying.

 

[granniewolf]

I don't think anyone will be bitter. Thanks for the memories and he was a great warrior for us. Also he is now a melbourne player trying to kick goals against my club so I personally couldn't give a fat rats clacker what he does from here on out in his playing career. Same for every player that leaves the pies.

Cracked me up, can I borrow it?

 

[Antz]

Abit confused about it being only a 2 year deal. Our offer must have been well short money-wise if he left for a 2 year deal.

We may have offered a 1 year deal?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

We may have offered a 1 year deal?

Fly confirmed we offered two. It's clearly cash as the big motivator. And for all we know the Dees have a trigger for a third.

 

[WakeUpPies]

In the end it was a good decision moving Checkers (and maybe Cox soon) on. We can’t keep relying on our wounded old warriors. Give West and Buller the opportunity to show what they’ve got at the highest level, like we did with a young Tarrant, Rocca, and Travis Cloke.
