In all seriousness, what difference does it make whether it's a first or second contract? That's such a pointless argument imo.
If they are struggling to get good game time by their first contract ending, I can understand but at their second then they aren't good enough for AFL. That is the only way they are coming back at the end of the second contract, if they are best 22 by that stage they won't come back
Why buckley refuses to play either of them with the midfield losses they've had is completely beyond me, and a lot of pies supporters seem to be in the same boat. Only makes them cheaper now if we were to go after them.
He has played them and they haven't performed. I have watched BK in Collingwood games and granted he comes on as a sub but he hasn't been damaging. He has had a couple of games with some OK stats but even in those games he was pretty meh. From what my Pie mates say, Brooms doesn't two way run which is holding him back at AFL
Rate broomhead higher than BK, but if collingwood said yes to BK for a 3rd round pick as you suggested, I would take that without even batting an eyelid.
Agree, I rate Broom higher based on his speed and damage. My point is this, if either player wanted to come home last year, we could have got them cheapish but this year they are contracted and Collingwood makes everyone pay a premium on a contracted player, even ones seeking trade on compassionate grounds, they are just too expensive this year for what they are.
