Clinton Young - Thoughts?

[The Royal Sampler]

I'm starting to think Ben Johnson could be gone if Young comes. Then you'd have to assume that either Buckley stays or we get Roberton just as a backup for that role? Maybe I'm just tired...

I think BJ will play out next year regardless, and that might be stumps for him.

If we get Young, then we have to delist a further 4 players. We will have five picks in the draft. May as well let Hawthorn have the second round pick as we won't be able to use it. I see nothing wrong with giving them a pick just to build a base for trade/deals in the future. You never know what could happen.

If that's the case, we should have by the end of this trade period:
In: Pick #17, Pick #21, Pick #47 (All in addition to pick #18), Young, Lynch
Out: Wellingham, Dawes, Pick #39.

Three draft selection in the top 21 and two ready made AFL players would be an excellent trade period for us to date.

I then wouldn't mind at all if we traded Pick #47 for Roberton from Fremantle.

The AFL Offseason ‏@theafloffseason
Apparently pies have secured a deal with North Melbourne for the services of utility Cam Pederson. Could be another late afternoon trade.

i am waiting for confirmation from Benclank01 then i'll know it's reliable.

 

[yesterdays heroes]

Wellingham and Young are not really all that similar. It's not a like-for-like replacement. Young will replace more of what BJ does in a year or two than what Shaz did this year.

wellingham and dawes are not that big a loss with ball, keefe,macaffer,kraks and more games and another pre season into our youngsters like paine, witts, seedsman and mooney.

Dunno why you quoted my post if nothing you're going to say pertains to it.

Sources close to me say he has arthritis in his knees, a suspect back problem and cauliflower ears...

PS: I am the source, please dont take him

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Can someone please explain the attraction to Pederson?
We got a 2nd ruck in Lynch so now we allegedly sign up another 2nd ruck who played VFL.
Why do we want him?
Please explain!

 

[forwardflanker]

Young is a must get. Strengthens us, weakens Hawthorn. Free agency's version of a 11 point play imo.

 

[Pies_10]

Would be a great pickup exactly what we need someone with foot skills and can break the lines and kick long.

We will put him in our altitude room to sort that out.....

Yes, letting Dawes go & then picking up Pederson is a step backwards.
I also don't get it.
If Dawes was a tosser & a trouble maker, then I could understand Bucks desire to move him on, but he is not.
I have a feeling we will regret this in a year or two. Bucks actions could release 'the mongrel' inside Dawes & Clark Kent finally takes off his glasses.

The Hawks believe they have room to retain Young and have left the ball in his court, with an upgraded contract on the table

If the monies are close he'll stay.

Pedersen isn't a ruck for a start!

He's 193cms but plays shorter and is actually closer to being a midfielder than a ruck and can play on ball proficiently, and up forward the same. Knocks on him are that he is pretty slow, nor especially dominant in any role, but he makes very good decisions, good kick and doesn't drop marks.

Judging by the noise, he's probably headed to Melbourne, but he's worth a look at replacing Dawes at FF as a cheaper option who can be relied upon to take marks. Not saying he's guaranteed of being a high value recruit, but for the Dees and possibly a post Dawes Collingwood, I'd imagine they view him as a role player for a few years while better development is developed.

Exactly, he will sign today with the Hawks

Exactly like he did yesterday?

Come on Clinton, you know you want to.

Can everyone let go of this trade thing? We don't need ot trade for Young. He is an unrestricted free agent. The only circumstances where we'd need to trade, is if Hawthorn matches our dollar offer and he chooses to still come to Collingwood.

Which Hawthorn might do just for the sake of it.

Further 4 players?

Lynch replaces Taz on the list.
Young replaces Wellingham on the list.
Roberton? Replaces Dawes on the list.
Then delist three players for picks 18, 19, 21.

Couldn't care less if we give the hawks 47....but I don't see the point.
