I think you will find that IF he decides to leave those conversations will take place after finals. But I'm still positive he is staying so we will see

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

From what was said in the interview last night, I think the decision has not been made but Josh has given the go-ahead for his manager to take offers... which will be considered after the Finals.

I also got the view that if he stays at GWS it will be for a max two years only.

That's exactly what will happen. He will stay for a couple more years then come home

By which time Collingwood will be getting off the bottom of the ladder and he will be joining his mates WHE and Treloar...

 

[HarrySmith]

Hahaha that would be ideal wouldn't it? Can't see it happening though. When he does eventually come home I think it will end up being to North. Hopefully they can improve their club in 2 years to make it a bit more desirable

They haven't been able to improve it in nearly 20 years, how do you think they'll do it in the next 2?

By sacking a certain coach.

Not sure what you're getting at lol? Why do you feel for me? I'm a Collingwood supporter... I've been in enough pain this year Doesn't bother me if Kelly goes, Just heard from a VERY good source he is staying at GWS. If you have heard different then feel free to enlighten us all

I feel for you Harry. I would be feeling exactly the same way. It sounds like the groundwork is being laid for his imminent departure though ....

ho

Take it to your own boards to discuss, or better yet the Draft and Trade board please, we aren't overly interested in your discourse.

Curious on how you guys sit with Ryan Griffen. Saw a couple posters talk about how they wanted his salary off the books. Do you guys still consider him best 22? because he would be on a bit right? I remember him being keen to leave to get out of the Vic fishbowl which probably makes a move back to Vic not high on the list of things he would wanna do. I don't think he'll leave, im just curious on where he is at currently. Cheers

The earlier comments on possible salary dump was just speculative chatter popping out of various scenario discussions ... nothing serious in it. I think you'll find that Griffen will remain selected in the best 22 when he's fit next year - bit like Stevie J this year, having to manage through age-related injuries, unless he really drops off physically. Griffen still has a year to run on his contract, but that might (probably should) be it for his career. No offence to Griff, but he had declined from his best years before he arrived here, although still valuable given his experience & mature body while some of our youngsters developed further. Depending on what happens with retaining Hopper & Kennedy of course, there's a bank of young guys bursting out of their skins to take his spot though (Taranto, Setterfield plus Hopper & Kennedy). I expect Griffen will play some but unlikely to be all games (due injury) next year, then retire.

Yeah i thought that might be the situation, i figured if he didn't leave at the end of this year he would probably retire at the club. Wouldn't mind having those 4 fighting for a spot in our midfield ahaha Cheers for the info

I read this article and thought how stupid is this person, do they not read. Previous articles with quotes from Whitfield about staying, the fact he has a contract, will the Hawks actually want to do a trade with what they have in terms of picks and players and then they would have to pay more due to the fact he is contracted and the fact that the uncontracted 4 are more attainable
I do see it as a possibility but that possibility would be a few years down the track
And it does again prove how the AFL media works with ex players and people who publish this stuff

 

[Snookers]

I didn't realise Crawf from Hawf had that many head injuries over his career to sprout such stupid shit.

I reckon we should see if we could get Paul Puopolo. He strikes me as exactly the kind of player we need. Good strong little man who provides pressure and finishes well.

That would be a NO from me
I don't think he would consider moving also and many of the Hawks players are made to look good by the system they played in and the great players around them
I think he was suggested last year to help got the Jaeger deal done and wasn't interested in a move

The only way I can see a deal is if the Hawks have something we think is worth losing Whitfield for, and Whitfield wants to go. His public statements suggest he doesn't.
I dont agree that Hawks players are undesirable becuase they come from a strong system, I think that makes them more attractive.

So who do you drop to make room for him?

 

[Andre the Giant]

Stevie J retires and we are going to lose 2 or 3 others. If he came he gets a game ahead of MDB as well.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Were certainly looking at adding a small forward this trade period and that could very well end up being Puopolo.
