Pettard can play......was a gun midfielder in th QAFL/QLD u/18 side.

If we can get him with Martin for nothing....cheers.

Yer I saw him play in 06 nationals. Won the div 2 Medal. But Under age football to senior leval is very different. Only averaged 9 games a year at melbourne. Seen him 3 times and really didnt stand at all. Still think he no good but if he can contribute to a better collingwood in 2013 well we will see......

 

[SpongePie]

absolutely we would, im sure we would prefer pederson or martin but now cos of cloke they would take the cheaper route. In case you havent noticed we dont have a backup ruck to help jolly and q-stick has aggression which is exactly what we need.

Agreed, we need some aggression. Someone who makes the opposition players think for that split second longer when they go for the ball, at risk of being smashed. That was the thing I loved most about Brown.

Did you see what Lynch did vs North in the EF?

 

[NT.Thunder]

I don't like Pettard's head..just something about it that shits me.

Wouldnt bend over backwards to get him that's for sure, but if he came next too nothing, I guess he could booster the magoos!

Nope, do tell!

 

[HFF]

Nope, do tell!

I think TD was referring to Lynch's physicality where he just cannoned into and crunched the North player standing in the hole underneath the high ball.

That's the kind of aggression and physicality Leroy Brown provided for us that we missed.

Like! (provided he can do this without getting suspended too often )

I think people need to be mindful that whoever collingwood get would need to be fit into the salary cap. While i think there is room to still sign our uncontracted guys, adding new players might mean we would have to push out someone of the like of goldsack or wellingham, which is not ideal.

Unless the player comes fairly cheap eg. Lynch, im doubtful we will be too busy during trade period unless we get rid of a couple of our regular fringe players....

Thanks walshy how are things?

Lynch killed it against North, kicked 3 goals and showed presence. If he played like that consistently for Collingwood, we would be rapt but he most likley wont.

If he can contribute to the level of Leroy Brown- and he probably has done more than that over his career- we would be very satisfied.

Apparently the Cats are offering Gold Coast their GAJ compo pick in exchange for Josh Caddy. I really want Caddy at the Pies though.

Yeah and Loved His Presense he Gave:

i thought they didnt activate the pick?

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

They can still trade it as a future pick, at which point it'll be Gold Coast's choice of when to activate it.

I'd like to have Lynch, but could we spend $300,000 better?

 

[jonbe54]

I don't think its a matter of getting a 'better' player, we need a player of his type to restore our forward line balance. Now that we have Cloke signed we are squarely in a 5 year flag window but won't get one without some help for Cloke and Jols. If Q can be wound up and kept on the straight and narrow for a couple of years he solves a few potential problems.

no way in hell lynch will be on 300k, closer to 200

But what if WC want him and match the offer? And why is he going to come here for less than WC pay him? Too many posters think players are lining up to join our club while their current clubs simply stand aside and watch them depart.

WCE only tabling a 1yr deal.

Lynch is unrestricted- he doesn't have to accept any "matched" offer.

Eagles offering 1 season and can't say he will play in the 1sts Next Season

eagles cannot match lynch. he is a free agent so he can go anywhere he wants.

 

[daics_35]

If he was a restricted free agent, WCE would have had the chance to match our offer but because he has played more than 10 seasons there is nothing that can stop him from coming to us.

 

[muttweed]

Apparently Caddy has checked out North's and Collingwood's facilities, but his cousin has told a poster on our board that he is 100% coming to Geelong.

Basically, the rumour is all over the place. What are your thoughts on the matter?
