No inside word yet Muttley, but I don't think Geelong would part with their compo pick.

A lot depends on who he nominates and the pending deals of Goddard and Cloke (who has just re-signed).

The Cats are really into Caddy and the general consensus is the compo will be used if he selects Geelong.

They're into him, no doubt.

Plus, as I stated, it'll all depend on whether he nominates 1 club, or 1-2 clubs or 3-5 clubs.

You'll have to use it if you want to be a player.
 
Just tell him to pick Arden Street and stop ******* about.

Well KC>

Let's just say the old man spoke to someone of importance Tuesday, and didn't bring up young Josh, but chose to discuss this Friday's Moonee Valley meet.

****ing facepalm.

No. I didn't really need to hear this mate.
 
I had been celebrating since Saturday for 3 nights straight after a Grand Final win, and he decided 'that' was a better talking point than, I dunno, perhaps;

How's the family? How's Josh going? I heard he was taking a tour of Arden Street. Any news?

Idiot.

Liam would have some quiet goss, that if he doesn't divulge, I hope is good. :thumbsu:

Probably not much to say, even if the topic was raised.

Unless we pull something out of our arse quickly, we are not in the Caddy race. He's either going to Geelong for their ablett compensation pick and a pick upgrade deal or St Kilda for their Goddard Comp along with obligatory exchange of picks, my money is on Geelong.

Caddy won't care what compensation Gold Coast get. He will go where he wants to go, not to the highest bidder.

Believe me, at the moment Gold Coast don't give a hoot where he wants to go, they are more interested in what they get. I would expect that they would to try to deal with Geelong before anyone else. And if even Caddy wanted to go to collingwood, which was just a rumor then them signing Cloke has killed that idea.

Exactly. Caddy will nominate a club he wants to go to and a deal will be sorted. Unless it's Collingwood who will try to royally screw GC by offering Cameron Wood

If Gold Coast are too hard arsed they risk losing him for nothing in the draft. But I repeat, he will not simply go to the highest bidder - it does not work like that.

Sorry to break the news but I really doubt he'd come to North considering other offers for him and since he hasn't bothered with Collingwood then Gold Coast will have a bigger say than you think. We are at best 4th in line for his services next year so don't get your hopes up.

You have broken no news, sorry.

How do you know what has been offered? By us or anyone else? I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm not going to give up hope on the basis that other clubs have better draft picks - because it doesn't matter.

I was told by my source Monday night that Cloke would re-sign with Collingwood and I posted it in here.http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/pedersen-not-at-north-in-2013.972515/page-12 post #285 so I have broken news thank you.

Secondly, the same source told me that Gold Coast are going to look to get something for him. A player can identify a club and wish for some sort of deal to be made, but Caddy was pick 7, so Gold Coast are well within their rights to seek adequate compensation, if your thinking about Gunston I will tell you he was approached by Hawthorn and Hawthorn pushed really hard for him to the point that Hawthorn were prepared to Compromise with Adelaide. He nominated Hawthorn because he knew they would deal and were obviously in premiership contention.

I don't claim to know what we have put forward, but what has been reportedly placed on the market for from my source would take a substantial deal for us to sway Josh and Gold Coast to be a front runner, which currently i doubt we would be prepared to move mountains just to satisfy Josh.

As i said, Don't just expect the Gold Coast to pander to Caddy's desires, they are not that stupid. Caddy will have some say where he goes and Gold Coast will expect adequate compensation.

Unless you have any news, you just have an opinion, just like the rest of us.

I wasn't referring to your news breaking past. My comment was in response to your previous post "Sorry to break the news..."

I didn't believe that you broke any news in your previous post. You gave an opinion.

You need a source to tell you that Gold Coast want to get something for him? Of course they do. But if Caddy wants to go to Geelong, Gold Coast can't just say "bad luck you're going to GWS because they offered pick 1". He simply wouldn't sign with them. Caddy is out of contract, so holds the power. Gold Coast held the power last year when he had 1 year to run.

I'm not having a go at you mate, I just felt you were coming from the wrong direction. Caddy holds the power of where he goes, not the club with the best 'trade bait' and certainly not Gold Coast.

I don't think i was breaking news as per say, more trying highlight the fact that according to my source there is considerable interest for Josh in the market and at this moment in time our offer may not be as good as what some may be prepared to offer. In saying that though it would be common sense that yes Josh can decided where he ends up, but don't discount the fact that Gold Coast will not roll over.

Will choose my words more wisely in future if it helps.
 
The Cloke news was leaked a couple of weeks ago.

I'm reluctant to believe anyone who appears to have inside info on a wide range of things. Very few people have that much info.

Nothing wrong with your words mate, I just found your viewpoint a strange one.

Anyway, I don't expect GC to roll over either. I was just mentioning they don't have the power that they had last year. Thus, they will get less. Or risk losing him for nothing. It will be an interesting one to follow. I just hope we don't get caught up in a bidding frenzy.
