Rumour Thread

Wicked. I rate him highly and if we were able to get him running off the HBF or wing!!!

hmm. the same player who choked and fell over in the goal square costing hawthorn the grand final? great, looking forward to that. i say if we cant pull a sam reid deal i say lets go through the draft. 3 early picks in this draft would be great.

 

[donnie5]

Clinton Young would be a terrific get. We really lack quality foot skills and he seriously has them. I'd take him in a heart beat.

He is a free agent, we dont need to trade for him.

There is no chance in hell we can get Sam Reid hahaha.

Rhyce Shaw had a worse granny a few years ago, now everyone is talking about him as a premiership player & a premier half back. One bad game or one error doesn't make your career.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Young could potentially be used for our kick outs - and area where we struggled so much this year. Does he have a history of injuries?

 

[Witts the Messiah]

Everyone bagging out Clinton Young for his GF performance just remember 3 GF's (possibly 4 - if you include 2011 letting Varcoe off the chain early) that leon stunk up! The whole hawthorn defense was always going to be shaky when exposed one on one (much the same as ours). He fills a massive need with skills coming out of the backline! Would not hesitate in picking him up​

 

[Mudeo]

Someone i wouldnt mind Collingwood picking up is Matt Thomas, would be able to get him in that mid range draft area (pick 40) he is 26 next year a hard bodied player and a run with player. Someone who we can put on a Birchall type player and shut him down. Would not be against something like this at all.

I bet you wouldn't take Buddy either after kicking 3 goals 5.

Give me a spell.

 

[danielnajdek]

Wouldn't mind Young but question is what would we have to give up to Hawthorn ?

His a restricted free agent so that means Hawthorn can match whatever offer we put up to him. With the limited cap space we have it will be hard to get him without trading imo. But defintely interested and even more so if he really wants to come to us

Whew! Read that as 'Matty Thompson' rather than Matt Thomas

No he isnt.

he is an UFA.

people should really get a grasp on the whole free agency thing.

 

[Mark_K]

Are you sure he is unrestricted?

He is out of contract, but im not sure if he has been at Hawthorn long enough to be unrestricted.

It has nothing to do with that there is another branch you can fall in for Unrestriced free agency its about how much he is paid that's why he is unrestricted.

 

[Shade]

Here:

Restricted versus unrestricted
An unrestricted free agent can automatically move to the club of his choice while an offer to a restricted free agent can be matched by his club, which has right of first refusal over his services. A restricted free agent is one that is in the top 25 per cent highest-paid players at his club while an unrestricted free agent is in the bottom 75 per cent or has spent at least 10 years at his club.

hes a receiver of the highest order, his body language is shit [ go watch grand final again and see him berating his team mates ] dont what that type of player at my club. just my opinion

yes his last 2-3 years at hawthorn have been exceptional havent they, injury prone

 

[Cory]

We would be stupid not to get him.

Lets trade Heath Shaw then .....

 

[Mark_K]

Yeah, fair call.

Im use to the NBA free agency. Forgot about the % and place amongst total payments for that player at his club.

In that case, if he is unrestricted, even better.

 

[chrisaaa]

Rumour is collingwood have offered Clint young a 4 year deal

 

[danielnajdek]

No he isnt.

he is an UFA.

people should really get a grasp on the whole free agency thing.

Geez some people are a bit too touchy around here.

 

[ksardog]

We have no need for Rhyce Shaw. Surely, you guys are trolling?

We also have no chance of securing Sam Reid. You don't offer and accept 5 year deals only to seek a move 1 yr into the deal. Won't happen.

dawes is apparently leaving 1 year into a 3 year contract, shit happens.
sydney have to fit into their side, tippett, reid, roberts-thompson, pyke, mumford. they are so top heavy its ridiculous. i got no idea why they want tippett but if theres a chance i would be going for it.
imagine cloke and reid as our key forwards for the next 5 years,

 

[Primetime Pricey]

of course he is a reciever. he is a outside player who breaks the lines, carries the ball 20 odd metres and then kicks it 55. His body language was shit lol. So you dont want Heath Shaw in the team cause he abuses his team mates every 5mins? come on lol

yes his last 2-3 years at hawthorn have been exceptional havent they, injury prone

Yes he has had injury issues, mainly soft tissue but he wont cost us anything in regards to trades. Its a no brainer. He would slot in on the HB or wing easily
