Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones

WELCOME CCJ!

Future second is steep but maybe we rate cooper coming through and would probably lose that pick anways.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I don't love the deal on face value. I assume Brady has something else up his sleeve

Welcome to a former pick 20. Upgrade on Xerri. Very strong backup for Goldy when he retires eventually

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Yeah, not a fan of that future second being included.

 

[rippersnipper]

Surely package up those picks with 38 and get something a bit better? Not sure what worth they have otherwise

Disregard, I see were giving up 38* too. That's a shit deal imo

 

[Krakoueraddict]

Must be pretty confident that we can trade in some future picks if we're letting that F2nd go.

 

[Psicosis]

Welcome CCJ.

So much for leverage.

 

[billnats]

Welcome CCJ. Hope you find Souva better than kebabs

 

[Mixed Results]

I hope he retires a club champion and that the first page of his thread will eternally be people complaining about trading a pick in the 20s for him.

 

[Liam Boy]

Pretty generous deal when you consider we guaranteed them full compensation for Chol.

You should see the first page of Robbie Tarrant's thread. Or really anyone's. They're all a mess

 

[Devington]

Welcome to North young fella!

Deal, schmeal. As far as I'm concerned the draft picks thrown around have no bearing on my expectations for you, I'm just glad you chose us.

Not overly concerned about the second pick next year, there’s a lot of water to go under the bridge before then, we could get it back by then.

 

[tazaa]

Welcome Callum.
You bashed a bloke whilst eating a souvlaki.
You cost a 2nd rounder.

I reckon you’ll be worth it. Extra garlic sauce for you

 

[Val Keating]

Noice

 

[Bren]

Let's not crucify the kid before he steps into the club...
Welcome aboard hyphen!

 

[hotchilli]

Not excited with the trade as a whole but looking forward to seeing CCJ run around next year for us.

[muttley45]

So, got our man, welcome CCJ, i thought that would signal the end of the spam from Tigers on this board, but alas, not yet

 

[Kanga Glory]

The club identified the player and got him to the club.
Welcome Callum , I trust the clubs judgement and the deal is what it is.
In reality we will all forget the deal when you are high giving your deeds next year.
Another piece of the puzzle, I’m going to enjoy this.

 

[Liam Boy]

i guess if you'd convinced yourself we were going to bend them over you'd be disappointed, but this is a pretty fair deal. obviously we're interested in dealing with richmond in future and felt like the draft capital we give up isn't really a big deal

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

I resent those that went to an oppo board to threaten something that they had no control over. Look at what you've done~!

Welcome CCJ - looking forward to seeing you in the bounding blue and white.

oh no, we've embarrassed ourselves in front of the dumbest people in melbourne

 

[partycorolla]

I thought and posted he should be worth a future 2nd or 20 this year but you get 26 or 28 back. I also posted a bunch of crap at various posters who came over to Tigerland, which was just banter. I'm surprised we got a future 2nd and 38 for picks we were only going to use to package up and trade out.

Despite all the crap written, I believe CCJ has promise. Good hands, decent kick (even though his action doesn't look super fluid - he kicks straight most of the time) and doesn't mind crashing a pack. I think you could play him as a forward ruck to start as he looks more comfortable down forward than in the ruck but so do many young rucks early in their career. From Tigers perspective I think of Benny Gale and Brad Ottens

who both started forward before playing their best in the ruck.

Anyway, it's done now. if the picks were based on 2021 position then it probably favours us but 2022 is a different year and you guys look to be on the improve. I look forward to being at the footy in 2022 and yelling at CCJ that he still owes us 100k and probably booing him the first time he gets it before shutting up as he kicks his third.

Alright, have a good one and thank you for trading Tarrant as part of it rather than rooting up our FA compo for Chol.
