List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2015

[Hardas]

Aish > Freeman. Absolute bulls**t if Freeman does leave, not good character from the young man at all. Can't see an attitude like that contributing to a premiership anyway.

Everything I've read about him suggests he's a great kid, so I'm putting a lot of this down to his manager and the media.

 

[Quicky]

Seedsman for Mullet

We were linked to Mullet last for a bit surely?

I rate Mullet. I was cut we didn't pick him with one of our picks in the 50's in his draft year. I was shocked he went in the rookie, and he's developed as I'd hoped. Surprised if North don't rate him if they are after outside players.

 

[Roverjg]

Gorringe was played a lot as a forward [and even back] in the NEAFL this year, but ended up back in the ruck before season's end.

is he any good?

 

[swoop42]

I think we're covered for mullet at Collingwood.

Besides I couldn't stand the lame jokes from the haters.

 

[Hardas]

is he any good?

He's very athletic and has even been used as an on-baller, but at 23, he's still pretty lightly-built for a big.

What Happen IF we got Mullett and he did a Crips?

 

[Ant85]

Should we be looking at Jeremy Howe? Can play forward and back, versatile.

 

[swoop42]

So Freeman only stays IF Aish Stays Home?

Looks like they Read BigFooty

Seems like that sometimes.

I hope we keep Freeman and still land Aish.

Can't see why we can't do both with future trading.

Still if Freeman was to leave then we really should be after Aish to replace one top 10 pick for another and break even.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Should we be looking at Jeremy Howe? Can play forward and back, versatile.

Not for the cash he is asking for.
$600k for a player that averages 13 touches..

No thank you!

 

[DAWESOME!!]

I cancelled it because I was on my way to getting a perma ban. Anyway, next years first is being worked to facilitate a complicated deal that if it comes off will be a very very good pick up for you, this is why you've not just blown us out of the water and dumped it on Treloar. Treloar will be a pie next year, Gale is doing his diligence as would Pert if it was the other way around, we are into someone else. That's all I'm saying. No more PM's please.

That's not what that word means. You could say "is doing his job diligently" which would mean he is applying himself to doing his job with care and determination to get it right.

"Due diligence" is a legal term meaning that you take the appropriate care in checking out a person or business before you sign a contract with them. But it is frequently mangled by a group of footy media personalities to refer to any kind of professionalism on the business side of things.

Sorry, it's a pet peave. /pedant

Would be happy to swap Freeman for Aish at this point.

 

[swoop42]

Howe if used in his correct position as a forward would be handy as that medium tall option but the asking price is over.

Melbourne were using him in defence this season and God only knows why.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Nothing new.

Apparently 50/50 to go...i reckon he'll walk what a fk wit

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Howe if used in his correct position as a forward would be handy as that medium tall option but the asking price is over.

Melbourne were using him in defence this season and God only knows why.

Is there really room for him, Elliott and Fasolo in the one forward line?

 

[Robroy22]

Howe and Elliott might just kill each other flying for the same marks!

 

[Hagla]

With Elliott and Howe in the same forward line we'd have mark of the year sewn up for a few years though

 

[Hardas]

Howe and Elliott might just kill each other flying for the same marks!

Genuine third tall size [190/86] - might release Elliott to play more high-half-forward.
As for the money angle, his manager has stated that money is not the main issue for him.

 

[wello]

Is Howe a free agent (restricted?) or would it need a trade?

I'd take him on reasonable money if we had cap room. I like his ability to play down back as well as forward. Hawthorn has shown the value of having flexible players over the last 2/3 years. He's no worse than what the Sack does for us now.

 

[Woodsman78]

If Freeman walks then that's up to him. If we've only offered a one year deal and he can get more at other clubs, considering the issues he's had with his body, then he should take it.

 

[Shaneprice97]

As if Freeman wont just take a basic contract

 

[Rusty22]

fck no jeremy howe

 

[Axl the great]

fck no jeremy howe

The guy is a spud! no way no how!

 

[Hardas]

fck no jeremy howe

Care to elaborate?

 

[Rusty22]

Care to elaborate?

makes Fasolo look like Daicos

 

[Roverjg]

Howe is wanting $650k per season. He is not worth it.

His stats average for the year are as follows (he played majority of season at HF):
22 Games; K: 9; HB: 5.0; T: 2.5; R50's: 2.3; I50's: 1.3; Goals: 0.5; BH: 0.50

Compare his stats with that of Jesse White who played the majority of the season at HF for us.
18 Games; K: 9; HB: 4.5; T: 1.7; HO's: 4.4; I50's: 1.7; Goals: 1.5; BH: 1.1
