Absolutely no to Simpkin. He's soft and can't impact a game.

He's a 2nd rounder at best. I'd prefer to persist with Allan and HDM over him given his price.

Save our first rounders for genuine AA's or impact players.

 

[Vankri]

Was on the fence leaning to yes on Olivier because of the bargain price, but I’m a no on Simpkin (unless again for bizarre reason it’s a bargain in salary and trade capital which I can’t see happening).

As I said it’s the start of the trade period, sometimes resisting the temptation to do something is the right move. Keep our powder dry for better deals coming up. It does make it hard to see us compete against the best midfields next year (Brisbane, GC, possibly Hawthorn) but I don’t think Simpkin moves the needle that much there for us.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I want trade period to end.

 

[jmac70]

We'd probably throw Jamarra a lifeline with that extra rookie spot, is that what they're hinting at?

 

[SchuPie]

There goes a future first rounder

Let’s all stop talking about this
We delete all posts related to first rounders and Simpkin

WE ARE NOT DOING THIS LEPPA

 

[Ugene41]

Yea with Oliver/Steele you know their best is AA quality and their trade price is low. Simpkin has never been elite and if he costs a F1 then it would be disastrous. Much rather go with more midfield time for Josh, Perryman and McCreery than blow our trade capital next year on Simpkin

 

[gouki88]

I agree with the no camp re: Simpkin. Just not the player he was, and I’d rather not gamble on being the club to pay him a boatload to find out

 

[SchuPie]

disastrous

It won’t be that good…

 

[CasuallyDressed]

If we give up a first rounder for Simpkin I might actually cry.

 

[JuniorB]

This thread is careering away at light speed, and nothing is happening.
I wonder what would happen if we were linked with someone good.

 

[Apex36]

A future 3rd they were saying on trading day, which could be a pick in the 50's.
So nothing sustancial, wouldn't have impacted.

Oh, you mean that he nominated a club and will be traded for a pittance because we have now become irrelevant in the trade?

What a shock, I’m spinning out here

 

[Obese Arachnid]

It may be his Mum pushing the trade because she’s sick of cooking for him and wiping his nose.

Nose?

 

[tmpies01]

Well this Simpkin news just made our trade period interesting again all of a sudden.

This has deadline day all over it if we’re actually set on him.

 

[cfc19902010]

Grubby Allen strikes again.

Grubby should be selling chamois’s at the show

 

[Apex36]

But Westy is going to be the second coming of Brodes.

I hope he’s better than that tbh. Loved Checkers, but he was a 30-40 goal workhorse. I want West to do what Morris has done at the Lions.

Tell Leppa deadline day is 24hrs earlier so he rocks up a day late to get the trade done

 

[Everybody Panic]

absolute amateur hour by us this year, no plan, strategy or groundwork…. Real scattergun approach. If it’s Simpkin, prefer we just keep our money. Somehow, we can’t make the most of being the biggest club in the country.

Explain your reasoning? Post like these annoy the hell out of me. No strategy? We have a 2nd round pick this year and future picks. We are obviously not interested in Petracca (i'm glad, too expensive) and had a crack at JSOS which didn't turn out. We've seemed to do well in getting a young tall forward (position of need) to ask for a trade to us and have options on cheap picks in defence. The clear need is midfield. Oliver was not available until about 4 days ago, and the other midfielders mentioned are Simpkin and Steele both who've had some links to us in media rumours. Now here's the kicker. We got the BIG FISH last year, and that's why we don't have as much currency this year. AND one of the generational midfield talents is potentially in play next year which means, there's every chance that keeping future picks is part of the plan, the strategy and the groundwork.

So what did you want the club to do? Flanders might have fit us, we can't compete with pick 7 or would offer overs like the Saints. Which other midfielder was available? Worpel (no thanks!), Merrett (can't compete with picks to Hawks). Annoys the shit out of me when people blame the club because they just want constant dopamine hits.

So trade show now

JUH - Dimma is the master and will make this work with him in GC

Oliver - going from a poor culture to the best in the business with Kingsley and the bargain of the last 10 years

Petracca - GC will handover picks 7 & 8 and return a pick in the 20’s ??????

Collingwood - why we are old, no salary cap, Naicos drums beating and fly losing it

****en bunch of bed wetting mother ****ing campaigner!

I cannot understand this at all. We are going to lose fair few senior players over the next year or so.

They will replaced by young players who will be on very modest contracts.

If anything our cashpool is going to increase considerably.

 

[legendstatus]

Let's just pick up Aleer, Blight & Buller and head home for 2026. Then create havoc at next years Trade/Draft by finally keep a first round and future picks!!!!

[TradeDraft]

The Magpies had expressed interest in Melbourne onballer Clayton Oliver, but have now set their sights on Simpkin, who this masthead revealed last month was unhappy with his midfield time after finishing the season in a wing role.


Simpkin is contracted until the end of the 2029 season, so it would likely take a strong first-round pick to convince the Kangaroos to part with him.

Love to get Simpkin

Guess allowed to trade Future 1sts make it more Realistic

Works for me TD.

So if we do proceed, what we offering.
Future 3rd rounder?
We could have chucked in a high calibre defender they crave, pity Dean has gone
