Seriously would anyone even want Lynch if we got Tippet? He can ruck as well and is the second contested mark in the comp behind our very own Cloke. Ohh man, every year I get so excited and nothing happens except in 09 but we were linked to Fev then and I was so gutted at the time when we missed out.

If we do get Tippet, I am dead set going to go crazy, we would have to be the best team in the comp on paper.

If we do get Tippett i will run down the street naked with my collingwood hat on doing the gangnam style dance.
 
For some reason Dave, I get the feeling you would be shatterd if we missed out on Lynch to get Tippet, is that true?

If we got Tippet why would we ruck him?

He's pretty much a natural forward, it'd be like rucking cloke ( who oddly enough can ruck quite well).

Even Adelaide used Jenkins, and McKernan as the second ruck this year until injuries and form hit.

Anyway I'm going on the we won't get Tippet line

I mean like, he can ruck inside 50 whenever the ball is in our forward line, if we needed him to. I agree with you that we won't get him but I am pretty excited that we are linked to him even if it's all made up haha.
 
Yeah we were linked to Goddard and look where that ended up.
 
Every year they link every player to Collingwood. Reality is we rarely get anyone or actually do any trading. Lynch is the only possibility for mine. No cap for Tippet and we'd have to trade for the other 2.

Relax, it'll be a usually boring trade period. Again.

I wouldn't trade one first-rounder for Tippett let alone two. You guys are going crazy.
 
Geelong also speaking with Caddy - just heard on SEN from Neil Balm(?).

I got the feeling the club suggested he retire, Yet we think he is good enough to play on franklin (the competitions hardest forward to play on) yet we dont think he can play on next year?
He is still clearly our best tall defender, and could also do the job on the smalls. We should of offered him a contract for 2013 and rested him during the year against the weaker teams making sure he would be fit for finals

If it were the club's idea Taz retire then surely they would have waited until season's end?

Why risk a player's mental preparation for a finals series by tapping him on the shoulder earlier?
 
If we get Tippett I would be rapt. Firstly by the thought of the contested marking power but also just as importantly by the thought of another Carlton fail.

It wouldn't have happened anyway. You've got a near-AA standard KPP with the ability to play a variety of roles, playing for you for the league minimum on the vets list. Of course you're not going to tell him to hang up the boots!

I honestly can't believe anyone is taking that article seriously. How could we afford the 800k for Tippett even if we did lose Dawes (should not happen) and Wellingham. They would only be on about 300k each.
Also, Tippett has had 3 concusions in a small space of time, there is way too much risk taking a guy like that, if he gets another couple, then surely he would be forced into an early retirement??
Chris Dawes is no star, but we don't need 2 star key forwards, Cloke and Dawes as a combination are good enough to get us another flag, it's just the 3rd tall rucking role that we need. Either Lynch, Giles or Martin should be the guys we are looking at getting. Of those i'd go for Lynch first purely because we wont lose anything to get him.

People are so concerned about our forward line. Look at Sydneys and tell me theirs is better. You need a functioning forward line, but I believe with Krakouer there full time, Didak possibly back fit, a rotating Thomas, Swan, Pendles, Beams or Sidey down there, we will be easily dangerous enough to score enough goals. What we need to do better is defend. This includes manning up or pressing up better all over the ground. But I truly believe that this will come with continuity in the playing group. No injuries and a good stretch of games for our best players.

Some of the people talking about getting rid of Dawes should be ashamed. He took a lesser offer to stay with the Pies because he loves the club and wants to play for us. And now we are so quick to give him the arse and lose complete faith in him. He hasn't even played 100 games yet. Give him time to settle back in as a pure forward and he can be a solid 14 possesion, 6 mark 1.5 goal a game forward. I would seriously lose a lot of love for my club if they traded Dawes. I may be a little idealistic, but I want to support Collingwood footballers who want to be Collingwood footballers, not guys who are just there for a pay day.
 
I don't see how we can land Tippett.

I'd love to have him, but i just don't see it.
 
What would we have to give up for Tippett? Surely, it'd be way too much!!!
 
The ONLY thing that I like about Lynch over Tippett, is Lynch has that real "im going to run through you and hurt you" kinda thing going. Like Brown had. I love having a guy like that on the team. Just to make opposition players think a split second longer about going for a ball.
