Banter FOOTY Banter! - Who will be better in 2026? Carlton or Collingwood Part 8

[Fadge]

NIck Daicos will get his chance to explore the open market when his next contract is due (2027 ?), so what do you think he will ask for, and will Collingwood pony up ?

Why does he have to wait until his next contract is due?

Curnow didn't.

And do you think Daicos will hold Collingwood to ransom by saying 'such and such a club are offering me $20 million over 5 years, so I'm not staying at Collingwood for a cent less...'

 

[Fadge]

And yet you continue to avoid the question I asked.

The question was answered - every player can demand more in the open market, but strong clubs retain their players for less.

So over the last 24 hours, we've learnt that Curnow And TDK weren't amongst Carlton's best players, and Callaghan would have 'acted differently' if the offer from St. Kilda was the same as TDK was offered....

LOLOLOL.

Merry Christmas Blues and Pies folk.

Hopefully 2026 brings you every footy supporter’s dream… either a flag, or maybe getting to play Sydney in the Grand Final… which are basically the same thing now that I stop and think about it.

Really?

Curnow and TDK aren't amongst your 'best players'?

Where on your list would you have ranked them?

Because I had them amongst your top 6. As would all rational and logical observers.

Charlie was a couple of years ago yes.
He has slid big time for me. Wish him well but I’d be surprised to see him back to ‘his best’ form again. Time will tell.
TDK would be just in our top ten. Hasn’t been consistent enough.
Silvagni not close to our best.
Our best are still at the club.

There's some coping mechanism right there....
