Clinton Young - Thoughts?

[MagpieJoel]

So did he say is happening or Guessing?

Dave, re-read my post.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

What about a more important man than those 3? Young himself...I don't usually come out with rumours I hear unless I know for sure, trust me on this one, he is 100% a Pie.

Let me preface this by saying I expect that you're right and we will pick up Young, but you have to be careful because this is how so many rumours get shot to bits.

A moment ago you said "a source close to Clinton" and now you're saying "Young himself". I suspect you're wrong on one of these statements. Which one? Unless you've spoken to Clinton Young personally and he's indicated he's moving to Collingwood, you can't say "Young himself" is your source.

I dont think he was saying 'Young himself' was his source, I think he was saying in relation to the post he quoted that Young thoughts are just as important as Hine, Walsh, Buckley and co.

Is it just me or are Young and Roberton very similar players?

Maybe it's a weakness that Bucks has identified and really wants to fill in, and with the loss of Leon last year, and with BJ only having one year left, we may be trying to fill that attacking half back void in one go.

If all it costs us is a third round pick (for Roberton) and some cash (for Young) it will be a decent coup indeed.

A source close to Clinton tells me he has been forced out of Hawthorn, really wanted to stay there. Will 100% be signing on with Collingwood, not sure when it'll be announced but confident today.

Will be a great addition to our midfield! Absolutely stoked with this.

Hope you are Right Mate.

Bucks has said we need to change how to ball goes into the Forward 50 already

 

[Betterthenbencoon]

Herald Sun reporting that Gilham and Murphy may be forced out of Hawthorn.

Can't read full article to see if Young mentioned as I refuse to pay online subscription.........lol

Mate go to www.adelaidenow.com.au It's the Herald Sun based out of Adelaide, no subscription, same stories!

Problem solved.

Look if we pull this off then I think you can quickly argue that we have been a major winner out of FA / Trade.

To collect Lynch, Young and 2 first round selections for Dawes and Wellingham would be a monumental effort. I suspect they will have also saved a few Rupees in the Salary Cap as well for 2012/13 and beyond.

Somwhere in all this am still worried about the ruck but a lot of that depends on whether they think Witts can play next year. I suspect they think he can but you woudl have to think a Pederson, Giles or Martin might get done late in the piece for a draft pick. I think Hine is potentially saying we will use the 3 round 1 selections and maybe the 2nd round and we will be done.

Well it looks more then Likely this will Happen.

But I get what you are saying Snoop about the Rucks. Though we might be Hoping that Witts and Ceglar can get some gametime next season

Dave, re-read my post.

I did and I don't quite Get it

I'm getting excited about C.Y, he looks eager all around the ground.

I don't get why we want Roberton his kicking is very hail mary going off his highlights his ball gets a LOT of hang time, Young kicks slice through the air Lonie esque.

Roberton cannot be that good if he is only worth a third round pick. It's hardly what you'd call a recruiting coup!

 

[Snoop Dog]

No thx to Roberton.

 

[TradeDraft]

No thx to Roberton.

Why is that snoop

 

[loki04]

And Dave since Derek's related to him.

Thought it was his alter ego?

 

[RuFiO]

Thought it was his alter ego?

That could explain why he gets so anxious over every rumoured trade.

 

[Thommo 42]

The problem with Young is that he's a classic home and away footballer, who looks great for 22 weeks of the season, but when the pressure and intensity lifts in the finals he falls away and is found out.

thought he was excellent in the 2008 GF before he hurt his ankle.

As for now, reports he wanted out of Hawthorn, but tripped and fell over....

 

[mattys123]

Roberton has all but walked out on Freo, and would be the type of player that would enter the draft quite willingly and end up at GWS or the Suns, so Freo may have to take what they can get for him.

He's only 21, is 191cm tall and had a bad year this year due to injury otherwise he would have played most weeks for the Dockers.

If we get him for a third rounder, it's a bargain IMO.

 

[MagpieJoel]

I did and I don't quite Get it

At least you are honest.

They were just telling the listeners about a rumour they heard, but they didn't realise that Young is an unrestricted free agent. So...they don't really know what is going on as he won't be leaving Hawthorn via a trade. Is that clearer?

Gotta Ya - So they where Guessing.

From Twitter:

@TradeDraft rumours coming out that Young could sign by this afternoon.

 

[hawks realist]

Was close to BOG in 08 GF.

That's a fallacy, played a half and kicked a couple good goals but shanked it more often than he hit targets. A bit like suckling, soft with overated kicking

Damn, he sounds like a Simon Buckley!

Yeah, 19 touches, 8 marks & a goal in under a half of footy in the grand final is pretty shabby.

Whatever bud, I'm sure you were paying more attention than me that day.

Soft give and go handballs and turnovers are his forte
