[go team]

Pie fans - can you finally make it happen - preferably before the dons take on the eagles this week?

You have a better chance of getting Ronaldinho to play for the Socceroos.

You got Buckley, Rocca and Clement from other clubs. They are all big names.

 

[eagles_chick]

as good as hodge and ball are, i bet the recruitment teams are spewing down @ the saints and hawks.

Yes, but they were all in the 90s or early 00s. They don't pick up big names these days. The best they've done in the last couple of years is Blake Caracella.

It's not through lack of trying. They've tried to poach a few players from Brisbane

Both Buckley and Rocca always wanted to come to collingwood .... if it hadn't have been for the draft rules they would have been there from day one.

Clement and Licura were not big names when they came to collingwood.. they are now.

I stand by my comment, we dont seem pull any big names (established players with 3-4yrs+ at a high level)

You don't need to attract the biggest names to be a successful team. Judd was not a big name when he was drafted; in fact he was considered injury prone ! The trick is to trade carefully and do your homework on the draft; then wait and develop the talent that you find there. Young Thomas looks like a top player for example. I also think that Collingwood could be a little more judicious with their use of the father/son rule. I think that you have got too many Clokes and Shaws that are only average players when you could have got better players without using the father/son rule.

But this thread is about Judd to Collingwood.... some people forget what the thread is about..

Ashley Judd is coming to Collingwood? Wow.

 

[Dunst]

He will never leave west coast, what sort of trade would it take if he did though?

Maybe when he is 26 + he's trade value might come down a touch.

ATM no deal would get done.

I wouldn't discount Judd wanting to go back East. Maybe an Eagles fan can shed some light on his current contract status!

Ten said he was out of contract at the end of next year, and also think he could be the games first million dollar player.

i am more than happy to have travis cloke and heath shaw.
cameron cloke i am not sure big bloke can take time.
rhyce shaw was good last year.
brayde shaw and jason cloke didnt work.
i reckon thats a fair ratio and probably stacks up against the percentage in normal drafting if you compare where they were taken in the draft

Somehow I don't think our captain is going anywhere.

And his contract runs out at the end of next year.

A captain who was very reluctant to take up the position. And please no comments about Benny being the spiritual leader of the club, this isn't Oprah.

If you are suggesting that he was reluctant because he doesn`t want to be at the club - just say it. I mean if you are going to make a fool of yourself - go for it - don`t hold back. It is bay 13 after all.

Big heads you mean!!

"He was reluctant to take up the captaincy because he is thinking of heading back East in the not to distant future." Thats my opinion.
Damn I feel like such a fool. I hope Im right like you are all the time Duncan.
