[1970crow]

As many as we want for players we want, perhaps wait until we get into trade week and delisting

We've not generally delisted contracted players plus there's salary cap issues as 95% is forced committed each year and Brown's retirement would eat into a fair chunk of whatever that might be left available. Hopefully there's a fair bit of trading though as our list is shit and needs further turning over.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Simple Poulter is a big Body Midfielder, if they get him the need for one in the Draft is reduced.
It would allow for a Straight pick 5 for Rankine not extras, this year.
We end up with Rankine, Poulter, Pick 2 and MM who at this time is late 2nd rd plus and we will have Picks to use for Him.

And Pick 2 could be in the Keeler range.

Umm we will want to keep pick 5 to draft a player worthy of pick 5, unless Poulter is worthy of that then your post is nonsense. Given Collingwood didn’t play him and haven’t offered him a contract yet, there’s a fair chance I’m correct with my “what”.

 

[1970crow]

Chances we might delist and pay out a contracted player to free up a list spot?

if we committed only to the minimum 95% of the cap then we have 10% max to play with. Brown eats into that but I guess a delisting wouldn't be an expensive player. It's hard to know how much flexibility we have in terms of cap space.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Not quite fair

He chose to draft Brayden Cook & Sam Berry instead. That doesn’t mean he didn’t like Poulter

Yes but Berry is another short inside mid which we have plenty of, if the 194cm winger was such a want then we would have picked him.

 

[pjcrows]

Poulter is a big Body Midfielder

No he isn't.

Last time I looked Rankline is a Pick 5 player, and ready to go,

 

[ad victoriam]

No he isn't.

He is in the VFL

 

[George CantStandYa]

You are talking about Poulter though….

 

[George CantStandYa]

So your saying he was in Adelaide the day before he suited up for Collingwood's VFL team the following day at 12PM at North Port Oval vs Port Melbourne?

It’s called an aeroplane

 

[ad victoriam]

You are talking about Poulter though….

getting Poulter eases the need for an untied big-body midfielder. allowing us to use pick 5 for Rankine while keeping our 2nd rd

 

[Ramify]

Do we even play wingmen?

Which brings me back to my point, unless Poulter is a pick 5 quality player, your point is nonsense.

 

[crow2crow]

Doubt any of poulter graham bowes end up with us

salty sun's already fantasizing about dumping bowes cash so they can keep rankine

they just dont get it

 

[Bearded Clam]

Yeah… don’t you remember this bloke..

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Yeah we'd have no interest in a very talented SA 19 year old 194cm mid/wing/half forward with pace and a super penetrating left foot that is out of contract....Hell no.

Would be amazed if we did have an interest in Poulter .....you've severely overrated his attributes, hell COLL even recognise that ....by not offering him a contract

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He's most certainly not ! .....not even close ....he's outside winger

He doesn't impress me at all

 

[crow2crow]

I dont care whether he is good or bad I don't believe we are into him. Seven are just making up shit because of frampton.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I dont care whether he is good or bad I don't believe we are into him. Seven are just making up s**t because of frampton.

Plus ....he's Sth Aust ....so it's logical every SA boy is linked to us .....inc Graham

 

[George CantStandYa]

It’s amazing Mutineer could disagree with this, Collingwood have literally not offered him a contract and he’s only 19. Why?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Poulter's an ave footballer ....end of his 2 yr Rookie Contract & cut

Why would we need another Wingman ?? ......he's not close to a need

Hang on. Besides Crouch, who are our Wingmen?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Because they hardly played him all year...

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Crouch

Jones, Dawson, Hinge, Cook, Nankervis, and Milera ......I would take Nankervis over Poulter any day of the week

 

[Sanders]

Where were you looking?

 

[Ramify]

Crouch

Jones, Dawson, Hinge, Cook, Nankervis, and Milera ......I would take Nankervis over Poulter any day of the week

I'll give you Dawson, but he's a Lefty anyway and is a required Backman.
Seedsman is the only other natural Winger we have I reckon and can't see him suiting up again.
The rest are just guys we rotate through the position. Might as well add Murphy,Smithers and that other guy to that list.
Nankervis I haven't seen enough of I admit.

I don't think we have many actual Wingmen.
