Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones - Welcome to North, CCJ! [NM trade RTarrant, 2022 R2, 2021 #40 for CCJ & 2021 #42 & #47]

Not sure about his ruckwork because of the lack of footage but his marking reminds me a lot of Shaun Rehn back in the day and the older posters know how good he was before his knees collapsed

you mean before the disc ducked his life

 

[Ocha905]

That said I recall at least one poster bemoaning strongly that we didn't just get what we could for him.

Guilty as charged.
Won't belabor my point since it was exceedingly unpopular. Just thought if someone wants out and has a better deal in place with more opportunity we shouldn't deny a player his wishes if the deal is fair (and I think a future 3rd was fair).
However obviously the club and many posters in the know see a future for him so I hope they are proven right and I look like a dunce.

edit- change 'you' to 'they are'

Who are you?

 

[RobZombie]

Or you don’t see the world like I do?

Most people don’t. But you do already know that of course, and it’s part of your roguish charm.

I still reserve the right to call you a campaigner every now and then.

 

[Ocha905]

Um what? This isn't 'This Is Your Life'.

edit- I get it, I meant the people bullish on Xerri.

Fine. Take the dishwasher.

Edit: I just saw your edit

 

[The Dougster]

you mean before the disc f’ed his life

Yeah that was cruel especially after coming back from two recos on his other knee.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Normally don't mind your schtick, but maybe leave rape out next time?

The fact it’s a banned word on BF should be reason enough.

Must admit, it holds more weight when you say it.

Ps: The baseball is amazing, somehow even better in Spanish.

sorry T, wasn’t aware of that (not that you’d surprised I’ve never read the rules).

Taz was a free agent, we did another club a favour. Future 2nd and 3rd round picks trading will only become an issue when they stop it, until then it is like refinancing your mortgage every year.

Maybe some respect for Taz too.

 

[Zondor]

Coward. Not you, I like this posting of yours. But CCJ.

Imagine not wanting to screw over your former employer (who didn’t sign you up when they had the chance) - so what do you do, you screw over the club paying you overs to have you sit in the VFL for 4 years. (Possible if Edwards and Comben stay fit/come on quicker than expected).

Or you don’t see the world like I do?

CCJ was happy not to go through the Preseason Draft. From his perspective it means he becomes a NMFC player now. But that’s not saying he wouldn’t have done so had it become a requirement. He says as much in the interview. The deal we made to trade for him is on us. Not him. I think Rawling needs to go to the Big Sam Market in StAlbans to see how haggling is done. :stern look

 

[The Anvil]

A bit of pressure on him to perform and that can only be a good thing

The kid wants to play, safe to assume he wants the big stage regardless of what it cost to get him.

I think the point is that something coming our way for doing them a favour seems like the right thing to do, and this didn't happen.

After all, we're not a registered charity.

I don't get this. We don't know the motivation for that deal.

Maybe we thought a future second and CCJ was worth it for two picks at 40 and 41 or the chance to trade into the top 20 this year and when that option came up it was our main focus - ie lets get this chance at pick 27 sorted this season and let the chips fall where they may next year.

If we do end up with pick 27 then we've effectively swapped Taz, 40 and next year's second rounder for CCJ, pick 27 this year and next year's fouth rounder. That is a much better outcome for us over the next few years isn't it?

Maybe we are having a shot at getting CCJ, pick 27 and next year's fourth rounder for Taz, 40 and next year's second. So its not necessarily doing them a favour. Even without that maybe we've identified two or three players we think will slide to mid third round and want a good shot at getting them.

Looks like the deal with Hawthorn for Jed: It looked overs in the short-term, but when the dust settled, we actually came out winners by a fair bit.

Yea but how are some posters goin to throw a fit if they have to wait and think about it?

 

[King Corey]

Good video North media. Thought Callum came across really well.

I want to hear what our future second rounder has to say

 

[DunderHead]

Seem to focus a bit on past issues and wanting to get Richmond fair compensation. Do you think that is in response to the feeling we paid more than we had to?

Yep, we had em shaking in their boots with our very measured response to the trade.

He was a magnificent player.

effectively that was in Jed and out basti and moved back,4 spots in the draft if iirc.

Anyone who is willing to fight for his kebab is fine by me. What a man

Zondor kept banging on about the Jed deal as well if I recall correctly.

So yes, similarities.

Was that the draft we then took McKay?
