draft in Tackleberry for some midfield pressure or is he too similar to Zurhaar? Hightower as a rookie ruckman??
Hightower might take a few years to develop but well worth the investment.
 
yes. unreservedly. they love their club the same way we love ours and i don't want to see any more clubs thrown on the bonfire of capitalist expansion.

Thats very magnanimous.

I won’t have sympathy if the reckless actions of a few cowboys inside that club ultimately result in their demise.

The Stephenson trade looks like a typical North bashing set up to me, with the added bonus of him being a Pies player to generate clicks.

He'll stay...and the media can have another go at us for missing a big fish...this time tomorrow we would have offered him 750x6 to come and Damo and co can have a good laugh at our expense...paranoid? me? No way :)
 
Stephenson has talent, but also comes with issues, which I reckon we (the public) know very little about. We cannot overpay for him, Collingwood are pushing him out the door, so we shouldn't be looking to offer anything of real value for him. I am thinking a minor pick upgrade for Collingwood should suffice. Something similar to the Dan Hannerbry trade from a few years ago.
In terms of the contract, lets not give him something long term on big money, would put others offside, particularly the likes of Jed (who still hasn't signed, any updates???) and the young guys coming out of contract in the near future.

He may be a bust, he could also be a steal, thus we should pay and compensate Collingwood accordingly. Remember, we are still in a rebuild!!!!

He might not end up at North, but I don't reckon he's staying.

The Pies are in a desperate situation, and their management is behaving appallingly.

Second round pick for Stephenson


I love the reporter scoffing at a club like North picking Stephenson up for a second rounder and insisting that the pies deserve better.

Essendon will consider potential pick swaps with Collingwood and Geelong in a bid to help unlock deals for Western Bulldogs’ midfielder Josh Dunkley and GWS Giants Jye Caldwell before the trade deadline.

The Bombers have picks No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 and have discussed swapping one of them for Collingwood’s pick 16 and the Magpies’ future first-round selection.

The deal would mean Essendon would have pick No. 16 to trade to Greater Western Sydney for Caldwell and then multiple first-round picks in this year’s draft and next year’s draft in the talks for Dunkley.


Collingwood star Adam Treloar is also weighing up a move to the kennel but the Bulldogs are yet to commit to the onball jet.

Magpie Jaidyn Stephenson is considering a move to North Melbourne but Tom Phillips is likely to stay put.

The Bulldogs have remained coy about whether they want linebreaker Treloar, 27, and are adamant the Dunkley deal is completely separate despite the likelihood of a straight midfield swap.

The Bulldogs want two first-round picks in exchange for Dunkley, 23, but former Carlton list boss Stephen Silvagni warned that was too much to pay for the clearance winner.

“I’m not too sure they’re going to get two first-round picks for Dunkley,” Silvagni said on Trade Radio on Wednesday.


“I think they will get a really good first-round pick. Whether that is pick No. 6, No. 7 or No. 8, and whether the Bombers are going to have to give up something else as well.”
 
I can’t believe anyone chose Montagna to be on television

Not sure about his Stephenson comment, but I rate Montagna higher than just about all of them on Fox.

He’s a good operator.

I'm not sold on Stephenson either. The point about his salary is a valid one, I'm always a little nervous bringing players in on big $ when our existing group are trying to squeeze out (and deserving of) a better deal. The problem is, he has the contract at Collingwood so he's not going to take a pay cut to leave.

It means that either:

(1) we take him off their hands and pay him similar (so, the $500k / 5 years looks in the ball park). This should be for a 3rd round pick at best, as taking his contract out is doing them a big favour and helping them dig out of the mess. Why should we do that for them?

(2) the alternative is to contract him for less and make Collingwood pay the difference. This is attractive, but for the downside of having to use a higher pick to get the deal done.

Not sure I'd be pushing hard to do either of these deals, tbh.
