Interesting from the Saints list manager Ameet Bains on Trade Radio today saying that they were well into talks with us and Nathan Freeman crossing over to the Saints compared to the talks with Carlisle.
An indication that Collingwood aren't so bad to deal with as a lot of people still seem to think. Essendon on the other hand:rolleyes:

He is an arrogant prick and a shit bloke i know someone at the company who run a lot of the security down at Geelong venues they hate him just a prick of a person to deal with
I've only ever heard good things about him from a mate of mine (who grew up with him in Wangaratta). I'd trust his word over some random bouncer. I think it's a massive assumption to say he's a shit bloke based on that.

That's fair enough but just because your a good bloke to someone you grew up with doesn't mean your a good person

So if Kennedy heads to Melbourne I wonder what we would likely get in return?

I personally think if he does go he will flourish. I still think he will be a player - just behind a few too many at Collingwood.
Especially bringing in Treloar.

The reason i ask about Sidey is its rumoured North Melbourne could offer him a large contract to move clubs.
Scuttlebutt around the GV (where he is from) is that he is quite happy at the Pies so would be surprised if he'd move. Didn't I read somewhere that contract negotiations had already started to extend his contract beyond next year?

Payback for Greenwood

He is a gun and our best endurance runner with the interchange cap changing he should be more valuable then ever

Would be the last nail in the coffin if we lost Sidebottom

Interesting from the Saints list manager Ameet Bains on Trade Radio today saying that they were well into talks with us and Nathan Freeman crossing over to the Saints compared to the talks with Carlisle. My question is, what are St Kilda offering do you think that makes him think we're in a position to deal Freeman off so easily?

I mean a third rounder is not enough IMHO for a top 10 pick whose had 2 years in the system and only has had a bad run of injuries preventing him from breaking into our best 22. They (Saints) must rate him enough to throw a nice contract at him yet by all reports (Experts on Trade Raddio today) stating that a 3rd rounder might be what the Pies will have to take.

That's piss weak if it happens our clubs put a bucket load of work into this kid. As a Collingwood member I'm going to be very disappointed if that's all we can garner for a guy whose got potentially another 10 years in the system. You don't get picked in the top 10 for nothing. In this case he potentially has.
Sorry to say but you have no imagination if you believe that Collingwood will except a 3rd round pick for Freeman. Given how Collingwood rate this years draft and if that is what StKilda are offering then Freeman and StKilda can take their chances in the draft, as that will be the only way they will acquire Freeman.

As I have stated previously future picks could potentially come into play and I am not sure if the future pick will go Essendon's way our ours.
I would like to see us offer Freeman and pick 7 for picks 5 and 24 and then give pick 5 to GWS for Treloar and possibly a 3rd rounder.
We could then improve our draft position by trading picks 24 and 26 to Sydney for picks 14 and 33. Given how shallow the draft is Sydney may be keen to offload pick 33 otherwise their next pick is at 51.

Honestly if it was any club but Melbourne I would say he is a big chance to become a good player

Look at the players who have gone to Melbourne they just destroy most players confidence

Causing a bit of trouble for bouncers (who often use a pack mentality against blokes who have had a few too many) doesn't necessarily make you a bad person either.

Nothing would surprise.

In the current AFL climate players seem more open to large offers from opposition sides. Clubs would be stupid not to ask the question.

I'm sure Collingwood is in the ear of all sorts of very good players. Most we'll never hear about.

Where'd that rumour come from?
Man, he is going to cost you more than the big contract. You'll lose something valuable. I don't see outside run as an issue for North so not sure what they're up to here. If looking for a replacement for Boomer, Sidebottom is not the one you want.

Its not the bouncers he has caused issues for its the shop owners very disliked in Geelong

I still remember him one night couple months out from the 2008 GF carrying on one night calling himself the back to back Norm Smith medallist

2nd rounder, Melbourne currently have pick 25.

We could end up with picks 22, 24, 25, and 26 (currently ours)

Yeah that's a fair call on majority of the players to have gone there.

I actually really want to see him do well, like the kid.

Could we look at Howe (if the rumours were true of our interest) in a straight swap?
