Clinton Young - Thoughts?

[Snoop Dog]

He will stay and so he should. If they have improved the offer and he is happy otherwise why would he. Personally happy for club to pump games into seedsman over young. Keep some $ to play with next year.

Looking Like he Might stay Now

Mate unless you're reading a different article to everyone else, I'm not sure how you can possibly come to the conclusion that he's staying based on that article? Just calm down.... No articles have any substance unless they have quotes. No quotes in this rubbish and the papers need to write articles in trade week to justify their jobs. Just relax Dave, I'm telling you that Young will end up at Collingwood.

this says nothing about him staying

 

[Mini_Skips87]

Let's just say I know and you'll be saying well done to me when he signs.

 

[unplugged]

The fact Port have joined in tells me that he's probably even more chance of leaving...?

when he signs with who?

Let's just say I know and you'll be saying well done to me when he signs.

anyone who names themselves after such a poor sponsor choice from decades ago.......i believe you

 

[BEEG]

He will not go Port he stayed he wants to stay in VIC

Its out of Collingwood and Hawthorn

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Is Jake Niall one of the first 'journos' to actually get the situation right?

As in, not mentioning that we have to trade with Hawthorn?

 

[jimmy35]

What pick should we give up for him though. One of the later ones we wont use anyway would be good.

How about an infinity-rounder?

That article gave us no new information on Young except a few lines with no quotes stating that Port have joined the race.

Due to where we sit with the salary cap the deal on Young will have to wait on the Dawes trade. If that doesn't eventuate he'll stay a Hawk IMO.

Pendlebury for Young, straight swap should get the deal done.

Okay When will he Sign?

 

[tazhawk]

The Hawks have offered Young a 15% increase on his salary which was 280k and a 2 year deal.

Pies I believe have offered 350k a year for 3 years.

Ball is in his court and you can rule out PA.

Thanks for info Taz.

Looks like we have put a very lucrative offer to Young with further security too.

Going to be hard to turn us down.

Time will tell I guess.

I think Young has a big decision to make.

Apparently he grew up a Hawks supporter and he has a brother with Downs Syndrome who he is extremely close with and he absolutely loves the Hawks and is at every game.

Obviously he needs to consider the impact his decision will have on his brother.

My gut says he will accept the Hawks offer and stay.

Good Point and as you say his Brother is very Close to the Hawks and they been really good to him.

Though I dare say collingwood would realise this and have things that his Brother can do with us

assuming his gonna get more money at the pies, surely being able to better financially provide for his family is more important

From Hearld Sun Live Chat:

Well all the talk was Collingwood the front runner, Brisbane also keen but now Port has thrown its hat into the ring... lost speed in Pearce so would be looking to inject Young off a half-back flank?

 

[NT.Thunder]

Pendlebury for Young, straight swap should get the deal done.

Throw in Rounds I reckon just to seal it!

 

[TradeDraft]

Reckon we will know by Monday at the Latest

 

[sloth6]

Personally, I think $350K is too much and Collingwood wouldn't be offering this sort of money.
