What's the catch on him? Highlights looked very good on season debut, ankle injury then didn't fire in 2020. Listed at 190cm. Intensity, speed, and pressure looked great, averaged just shy of a goal a game. Providing there's no off field issues, his body is right etc, reckon we'd be mad not to be talking to him. 1yr contract great risk/reward.
Just seems like a real head case.
 


We should absolutely pick up the phone and be all over Caldwell. Offer the melbourne pick on him.
Gives us LDU, Simpkin, TT, Caldwell and either a Hollands/Phillips for the next 8 years. Add in Bailey Scott and Curtis Taylor that can hopefully spend time through the middle as well.
 
The fact is that he essentially did renegotiate the contract already, by agreeing to take less than the agreed contract value in the first few years to be offset in the years that are left. The Collingwood scum are now basically trying to get a way with paying him less than agreed by cutting him off now before it evens up.

The conversation you are suggesting has already been had, and in good faith Treloar did the right thing by the club. And now they're trying to escape their side of the bargain. Scum.

It’s absolutely criminal what they’ve done to Treloar. Really feel for the kid. Don’t think the media has gone anywhere near hard enough. We copped more for letting go of Jade ffs

Ramanauskas is going to have zero players left to manage the way he’s going.
Just seems incompetent as fu**

Is it his fault in this case though? He has gotten the best deal initially for Cox, it is Collingwood that have screwed it up.

Agree.

My views on the Rama scapegoating in the BBB situation too have been stated before.

Your client kicked 10 goals in a career best game under the incoming coach. Of course you're going support their move to hold and pitch for a better deal.

Then not only did covid happen but the team seemed to switch to a structure and method of ball movement that could kindly be described as "dogshizen".

It was a reasonable gamble but the crucial point was - it was a gamble. On the information at hand circa February Ben might've tracked for an 80 goal year as the team replicated their late 2019 form and fully justified the decision.

Note- I couldn't give a hoot about Rama just think the logic used to pillory him has been off.
 
Anyone know if we've spoken to Caldwell? Highly speculative i know but would he be preferable to using our second pick in the draft?
I don't know but agree should have been over him.... guessing the request for a first rder put us off.... but grabbing him in the mid, and lmac in the draft up fwd.... some good holes filled

I don't have info but I think he would be off our radar due to both his personal wage and the price of a first rounder, he's certainly not free hit in that respect.

Pretty sure from what I read about our rebuild, is that we'll hit the next two drafts and fill gaps with DFAs, then after that I expect we'll analyse our two catches and start to trade in specific needs.

We would not be looking to pay premium wages for now as we'll will need room to pay both the jets coming through our ranks and to trade in some others as needed.

That's my summation, so far.:)
 
Yeah, it is mate.

Some folks are struggling to get past the emotional attachment to the point of rational analysis.

On the contrary, it seems like some of the people resigned to losing BBB are now playing up his supposed deficiencies (without any factual basis) as a method of coping. "we're better off without him" "he's good but one dimensional" etc.

Some are, no doubt.

Cats make Giant offer for Jezza

Jay Clark – Exclusive
Geelong has offered Greater Western Sydney two first-round picks for superstar forward Jeremy Cameron.

The Herald Sun has confirmed the Cats have put two first-round choices on the table for Cameron.
The Cats have No. 13, No. 15 and No. 20 and have agreed to part with two of them for the Coleman Medallist.
Geelong want Cameron a later pick back from GWS.

Don't even THINK of sending that our way!!!
 
Matthew Parker looks a bit North. We are stacked for half forwards but he wouldn't be the worst get as a DFA

Classic Geelong! Why draft potentially 3 very good players for the next 15 years when you could have a guy that kicks a couple of goals NOW?

Has anyone heard whether Polec's on the way out? I thought I read somewhere he was trade bait to, but haven't heard much since.

Last I heard there were a few clubs semi keen on him mid-late season but had cooled by the end of the season.

when you've got danger, hawkins and others retiring in 2-3 years you have to play for the here and now.
There under 30 group is nothing to scoff at either.
 
I'm enjoying watching the trade shitstorm and cap catastrophes regarding our traditional enemies.

It's time to go in to Ronnie Joseph overdrive, can we trade up for PSD pick 3? :p
