Whether or not Faith has a good track record or an inside source is irrelevent to posts which suggest

Sydney lose Reid for pick 4 (Ignoring the fact that Melb would be stupid to trade Dawes + 17 for pick 4)
then send Pick 4 and 22 to Adelaide for Tippett...

So the assumption they go with, is that a promising 20 year old who is contracted and whose output is not far behind that of 25 year old Tippett is only worth pick 4. Whilst the uncontracted player that walked out on their club will somehow fetch 4 and 22.

Just a sheer lack of logic from them, then this sort of suggestion is praised as being "a good idea" or likely scenario by such luminary's as Faith.

I have no doubt if Reid went the back lash would be huge. Not just on the board but even.the more casual supporter would be absolutely miffed.

Has Reid ever shown signs of homesickness before? If yes, then why would he have agreed to a 5-year contract. That would suggest to me that he ******* loves it in Sydney.

Im thinking the only reason Melbourne would consider trading pick 4 is due to picking up viney with pick 26...still reckon they'd be stupid to do it
That's a good point. They might feel they got a steal with Viney at 26 (definitely a steal), and are therefore quite happy to be more experimental with pick 4. I, for one, hope that is the case as it may then end up in our hands somehow... dreaming again...

He really does seem to love it in Sydney especially 5 year contract. I have no doubt collingwood would sound him out and Sydney promptly saying sod off. Making Faith's assumption correct. o get rid of a 40 game 20 year old ChF who's contracted for 5 years would take something monumental from collingwood to get across even if they had pick 4. Then if they sign young they would have to clear cap space. In short collingwood could ask but very very slim chance he would go out of all the players on our list.

It would work pretty well for the Pies they could leave Cloke deep have Lynch play the Leigh Brown role and Reid planking them at CHF.

You could see why they would be sniffing around.

They've also publicly stated they want a mixture of youth and experience during this trade period...the youth is taken care of with viney and also the mini draft selection

This is getting seriously ridiculous! The bs from the Crows posters, our dumb-ass posters that believe them and the so called big footy club insiders. Fact is...we don't know and the only time we will is when the deal crosses the line or falls apart!

I'm a supporter of the 2012 Premiership team and I couldn't care less whether we recruit this 'so-called superstar' of the game or not, but I'm going to be extremely pi**ed if we lose anyone from the 22 or an up and comer! Paying overs to AFC for an uncontracted player is absolutely absurd. I'm sure we could find someone else if it falls through.

Id be annoyed if it was a gun we signed for 5 years

But im with you sick of hearing pages based on a big footy rumor when the reid thread was closed

None of this Reid talk makes sense!

**** I hate Collingwood!

Why are people concerned? Its a crows board rumor, inside knowledge on the pies approaching sydney? Cmon

Even if true no one has to answer or agree he is contracted

Unless we hear a real credible piece from the club why not drop it? Lets the crows board live in fantasy land
