He's ours boys!!!!!! F*ck yeah!!!!!!!!!
Not yet. He has nominated us but we still have to get the deal done. Pies looking at more than pick 20 it seems so we still have to weigh this up.

He's coming to us, don't you worry. The pies are playing hard ball, but in the end they'll let him go. If they really want we can give them Bennell.
 
I expect a deal to be done quite quickly and easily.

Walshy is just talking tough.

Neeld would still have some good mates at the club and would make a deal much more smoother.

You'd hope so. Really this serves both teams well. Dawes isn't really required at Collingwood anymore and Melbourne/Dawes are very keen to join together.

Too much ego/playing hard ball could end up costing the Pies. Pick 20 is a f'n good deal. There'll probably be something else added but either way Dawes will be at the Dees.

There won't be any "hardball" or costing.

Walsh even said another first rounder would be of use to Derek Hine so this deal shouldn't take too long. Dawes' manager even said there have been discussions of what it will take and pick 20 was about right.
Don't hand over #20. Please.

There is no other way.

I haven't been this lukewarm on a Forward Trade prospect since we got Ben Holland.
Before the Lasik surgery and broken thumg he looked about to explode and go to the next level, he could easily still do that.. he'll never klunk marks like Cloke but he has the tank of a midfielder and he's smart as all hell, see his premiership saving handball lying on the ground to Cloke in the dying minutes of the drawn Grand Final
 
Check our board.

Happy for you guys to be happy but I just hope you play a little hard in order to get the right deal.

#20 is rich.

I guess it's open for debate, but I think pick 20 is fair. Dawes is young and has a lot of footy ahead of him. Big men aren't easy to find and we need some players with experience in our team. Draft picks are never guarantees.

Agreed, I'd be happier something else getting it over the line. Need to get midfielders in.
 
I'm confident he'll be back close to his best next year, he's had nigling injuries, and played disgustingly out of position. Is a true CHF, aerobically he is very good, runs a very good 3k and Beep for a guy of his size. Some people don't want to give up 20, and you wonder why we've been holding up the ladder? He's a proven player, when he plays where he should be playing. Left the pies, because he was still going to be playing out of position. I reckon Neeld has said, here's a spot a CHF alongside Clark, no BSing around, no 2nd ruck. We got Stef Martin, or will get Cam Pederson to do that. His a role player, these guys make premiership teams. He won't be the best CHF of all time, but structurally he will help us improve tenfold. People forget his 2010 form, was a large reason why they won the flag, and another reason why they didn't this year. I reckon will give up 20 and 56 for him, and I'm fine by that. Great recruiting by Harrington and Neeld so far, we may not be picking up the likes of Goddard, but we're picking up blokes who know how to play a particular role very well. I, say bring on Farren Ray, he'll teach some of the blokes to run both ways and plays a good shut down role. Starting to look like a respectable football club who are buying in, as opposed to apparent 'talent' who thought they'd run show.
