i can tell you now Sidebottom isn't going anywhere. He is Collingwood through and through. Heard Essendon and GWS were into him, but will re-sign with the pies. Also we are heading the list of Boaks preferences to head back to Melbourne.

Great to hear about Rusty.
The only way i can see us getting Boak is at the expense of Wood.

When was the last time a first round pick requested a trade after his initial 2yr contract expired?

These things just don't happen.

Correct. This pretty much concludes the thread.

Not too sure on that. I think you guys are a within striking distance of a premiership so may be after someone older/at peak. Maybe Welsh (who would play as a tagger and you were reportedly interested in last year) coupled with a draft pick could potentially be enough?

Would be a good acquisition, Welsh could push Corrie out of our VFL midfield.

Okay that aside, would you substitute Welsh with any of Monfries, Prismall, McVeigh or Williams?

Not sure what is funnier, the name Nohjay Nimpson or these suggestions.

That's the list. So unless you're prepared to offer Pears or Hurley, it's a polite no thanks from our end.

I don't know about polite, but this is pretty much accurate.

I dont reckon $1m over years is enough. I reckon the pies will see that and raise em!!

Essendon would have to give up Hurley and their first draft pick for Collingwood to even think about a possibility.

Would be a string bet, and Rusty would have to accept it as a call.

Seriously though, although the above suggestion is ridiculous, the Bombers would just about have to offer Hurley and a 1st rounder because unless we got an offer we couldn't refuse, ie. only the kind mentioned on BigFooty which never happen in reality, we won't trade him.

Okay, I have been shot down a fair bit with my suggestions. What I felt you guys were lacking tonight was a tagger. Welsh is a good one who can fill that void. Of course the trade will not happen but add 1st rounder or another player and it would be worth considering, not ridicolous like you guys are making out.

Sidebottom will stay I think but I also think you guys will be active in trade week as Malthouse prepares for a final assault on a premiership. What should be a priority is picking up a tagger.

Thank You, finally someone agree's that we lack a genuine tagger that can just stop the big guns through the midfield.
 
Personally i think these types of threads should be shut down as it is only may. Also if you want to go by what Hutchy is saying then it says alot about who you are. Unless players or teams actually make statements to the media then theres no point discussing them. If you want to have these types of rumours wait till trade week. Just shut this thread down its going nowhere and its getting repetitive.

Malthouse doesn't rate taggers... won't happen.

your first round pick would be somehwere in the twenties at best... so you wanna throw that in with an average 27 year old?

sidebottom was pick 11 and his performance has been good which means he is worth more than pick 11 now.

you'd have to either get your hand on 2 top 10 picks or give us one of your good players plus a pick

gotta give up something to get something

Haha. Dangerfield better than Steele. Cute.

Tell Dangerfield to get consistency and then we'll compare him to Steele. You want Steele? Give us ... no you have nothing we want.

God.

There is absolutely no way Sidebottom would be worth two top 10 draft picks. You said yourself he is worth more then pick 11 but two top 10- no way. Two top ten draft picks would go to player like Ablett, Judd etc. What you are saying is effectively someone like Hurley + Melksham is what Sidebottom is worth.

At best you would say either a top 10 draft pick + fringe player or a 1st round (20ish due to GC) and a good player (as you said- although we seem to disagree on a definition of a good player) like Welsh or Monfries. Let me flip the scenario, lets say Hurley was being traded (pick 5)- would you be willing to give up Sidebottom + a top 10 (most likely top 5) pick for him?

EDIT: Fixed spelling of Melksham (if you did not know Essendon's 1st round draft pick- will be a gun player)

I think "Melkensham" has very little value. Nothing even came up in a google search.

in 5 years time you will be speaking of sidebottom in the same vain as you do ablett, judd now. the kid is going to be a star and if we are going to give him up the the deal has to be MORE than worth it. we do not want to lose him.
 
I think Sidebottom's last month has meant he has gone well past Beams who we all know is no slouch.

He reads the ball beautifully, ahs an awesome football brain, and moves like Pendles, only runs and carries alot more, and finishes with elite disposals. He is lethal around goals.

Early days, but I tend to agree with Nardz.

The Bomber supporter throwing around first round draft picks that were successful, misses the equally valid point of first round draft picks that were duds.

Sidebottom could well fetch two top ten picks, but I am so attached to the guy, I don't want to see it happen. And it won't. He will stay at Colingwood.

You say that but by the time you make mates at the club and become part of the clubs culture it is hard to leave.

5 years ago mate of mine was hoping he got drafted by Collingwood..I'd always bag him saying that we wouldn't pick him anyway. he'd always say he'll prove himself at another club and get a trade at the first op. Well he got drafted by the Crows that year and is a regular.. now when I ask him if he's still going to trade he says "when hell freezes over" ;)

Probably wouldn't be best 22 anyway.

I'd gladly take Dougy at Collingwood :thumbsu:
