Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
Yes, he would. Quick, talented player would slot in on the wing and have an immediate impact due to less pressure being put on him.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
I don't know about overrating him. I think it's more a case of people seeing the value in the role he plays in the side.
It reminds me a bit like Toovey. Not the greatest individual football player but before he came in and held down that small defensive role we really struggled against sides with good small forwards.
Macaffer is a perfect fit for our forward line as he adds variety and strengths in areas we currently lack. That would be one of my concerns if we traded him is that we wouldn't get the value for him that he would add to the team.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
Macaffer is required imo.
I reckon his currency within Collingwood is higher than it would be at the trade table, not many would realise how good he was in the back end of 2010.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
MaCaffer when fit definately ahead of Blair and Fasolo and maybe Didak if he doesnt regain some form. Wouldnt discard Krakouer from that group but with a full preseason Im sure Krakouer will improve his fitness.
I dont think we can have all of Didak, Blair and Fasolo in the same team tbh.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
He's a Fasolo type player in my books. I think Macaffer will replace Didak when fit- or he would have under Malthouse, not entirely sure about Buckley he hasn't coached a game!

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
We do need him though because our ruck stocks are looking thin.
Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
Yeh when Jolly is resting the Caff can easily account for Sandilands, Nic Nat, Ottens etc.
Seriously MaCaffer was very good in the latter half of 2010. Why contemplate trading a bloke who was a key to our forward structure in our premiership year and who has had an injury interupted year? Doesnt make sense. Nobody played MaCaffers role well this year, its not as if we have a ready made replacement.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
It is insane to consider pushing McCaffer out. His 2010 season and grand final performances say so. He was injured this year. We do not have another player like him.
The extension thoughts of pushing Beams and Goldsack are not sensible either. Like many others, I thought Goldsack should have played in the GF. The club has not treated him well.
Beams has been good when not injured.
Jolly is also being talked about. Astounding. He played a reasonable GF on one leg. He carries the ruck.
In short, why are there so many suggestions that we unload good players?

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
I'd be very disappointed if we lost him, as has been said his form towards the end of last year was outstanding and he played a role which we struggled to fill this season.
His defensive work is outstanding, he is a dangerous forward option with great hands, he's very strong and composed and is generally a clean disposer of the ball. We don't have a similar player on our list ready to replace him either.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
No offence but being reported on SEN is no different to reading it on Big Footy.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
You are talking as though he has left. He hasn't. And I havn't seen anything but half baked rumours to suggest otherwise. It wouldn't surprise me if Macaffer were to leave, depending on where Bucks has told him he stands in the side, but it would greatly dissapoint. I do stand to the assertion though that WC would appear to be a strange destination and on that grounds the rumour seems even more bogus to me.

It think we all need to remember is that we are not looking to punt Caff at this point.
From what we've read, Caff wants to stay at the club but hasn't had discussions with Bucks yet.
Perhaps there are guys ahead on the pecking order, to get resigned 1st.
Perhaps also the rumours that WCE have enquired about him and the rumours we have enquired about WCE players (Koby Stevens, Ash Smith & Lewis Stevenson) has made people come to conclusions.
I like Caff and hope he stays. He allows Trav & Dawes to both stay at home more, when he leads up to the wing.

Re: Brett Macaffer out in the cold
Get Mitch Brown, we need more Key Position depth especially up forward.
I know Koby Stevens has been mentioned a lot but I can't see him getting a game with our midfield depth.

If the Eagles don't get him what would you want for him from Richmond?
2nd rounder and a player?

If Caff wanted out, we'd probably do the deal for a second rounder.
Can't think of a player we would want from you guys so the pick on its own would probably do.

Looks like Caff will stay but if we were to deal with Richmond I'd be keen to get Batchelor across.

Ugh. Probably wouldn't get much more, but this is exactly the reason why we should keep him.
If he does demand out (which doesn't seem to be the case) I'd offer him to GWS for a 5th rounder as protection basically.
