Sign up Sidebottom and Brown asap. Convince Swany to go on for another year (if he's got it in him)

BEEG didn't you say Swan was playing on for a couple more years

 

[jjsmitty8]

Imagine how furious opposition supporters would be if we signed Goldstein lol.

 

[BEEG]

Another 2 is the plan but club night give him the chop if the form is off

 

[ThisIsJake]

Can you take the bold off the player names but keep it on the club names? Would look a lot clearer.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

So who's new on that list? For us all of Brown, Sidebottom, Tooves and Caff?

Elsewhere:
Daniel Rich?
Cale Hooker? (will attract plenty of interest if not signed)
Jack Watts (watch them come from everywhere!)
Lindsay Thomas and Todd Goldstein?
Ty Vickery?
Mitch Brown (makes sense, wonder if the Saints will have a go again?)
Matt Pridis (surely wouldn't go)

 

[MrStealYourGirl]

Brown and Sidey sign em up ASAP. Lindsay Thomas would fit a need but he's a flog. No one else really fits our age bracket either. Looks like a good year for us to trade back into the first round of the draft with limited talent available in Free Agency.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

There's a further list of "free agents" here:

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tp-brisbane-lions?year=2015&sby=2

Some of them will have contracts, but we know that club will fold in the end and trade them. (also add Hipwood, Keays and Bastinac to that list)

 

[Stoods]

Sidebottom and Brown the main 2 we need to sign up asap!

 

[sirlothie]

Sidebottom is going to be the most sought after player on that list... All the other B+ or better players on that list are the wrong side of 30.

 

[DrDavoren]

Sidey=Pie4life

 

[Schraderbrau]

Brisbane might implode if we went after Rich, he'd also fit into our best 22 perfectly.

Schrader struggling to cope in this post-trade week period with Lions fans to poke.

I know those feels

 

[kaistar]

RICH!! Perfect player for us

 

[NT.Thunder]

I'd entertain the idea if getting Mitch Brown from WCE if it helps keep Nath Brown here at Collingwood. injuries aside I think Mitch can be a good footballer and to be honest, this might actually play in our favour.

 

[Matt_352]

One that stands out to me is Cale Hooker

 

[doodles98]

Mitch Brown would be handy. He's underrated I think and would be cheap on the salary cap. Pass on the rest.

Nathan Brown - Re-sign ASAP
Brent Macaffer - See how he goes this year
Steele Sidebottom - Re-sign today please
Dane Swan - Re-sign ASAP
Alan Toovey - See how he goes this year

I believe broomhead is out of contract... get to work on him because he is a jet

 

[Crazy Tails]

Sign up Sidebottom and Brown asap. Convince Swany to go on for another year (if he's got it in him)

Yep. Agree with this.

Not a lot to write home about in that list.

Like others have said Daniel Rich is the one who I would love to get. Aside from it pissing Brissie off again reckon his left cannon would be a real weapon for us off a wing.

 

[Schraderbrau]

Nathan Brown - Re-sign ASAP
Brent Macaffer - See how he goes this year
Steele Sidebottom - Re-sign today please
Dane Swan - Re-sign ASAP
Alan Toovey - See how he goes this year

Broomhead should be easy to sign up given he is basically playing for the SA u21 State of Origin team.

2. Steele Sidebottom, 24 (Coll)

The loyal Pies’ man is at long odds to leave, but a club like Brisbane will surely dangle a carrot. Could get superstar money elsewhere but wants to lead Collingwood back onto September stage.

9. Alan Toovey, 28 (Coll)

No longer guaranteed a game in Collingwood’s back six, after years of reliable service in the back pocket. Young talent at Pieland could force him to weigh up WA interest.

The article only mentioned the top 12 FA in 2016 in Jay Clark's opinion. No mention of Brown or Swan but you would have to think both are at longer odds than Sidebottom to leave so that is probably why. Also no mention of Caff though he may be in a similar situation to Toovey you would think.

 

[left at home]

both steel and brown are a must, then swanny if he wants to go around again then toovey
as a back up. and caff this year is a make or break year. then look to see whats available at oppositions clubs

 

[Matt_352]

As long as we sign Brown and Sidey. Swan wont leave

 

[CasuallyDressed]

RICH!! Perfect player for us

Could you imagine the Bears meltdown!
