Well trades have come Rather Quickly this Year. Year 3 Weeks might be a bit long

I hope you make it to October 26, Dave.

The Tippett deal will go on for ages one feels.

The Tippett deal will go on for ages one feels.

Which means that either (a) Sydney become more desperate to deal with a 3rd club to land Tippett or (b) Goldcoast come back into play using Caddy with a 3rd club to land Tippett.

Change that.....Caddy will be a Cat.

[HFF]

I'm convinced he will go.

 

[Breakthelines]

I'm convinced he will go.

I think so to....but I don't think it will be Footscray.

 

[Shade]

I'm convinced he will go.

The writing does seem to be on the wall i fully expect him to come out soon and say i want out and he picks a club.

There is no chance in hell we send him to Carlton though unless they are willing to bend over and take it. This will be made perfectly clear.

IMO, he will land at either the Dogs or the Dees.

Want to know more about me?

My name is Paige Cardona, I am one of the admin here on this page. I'm 24, I'm from Melbourne, and Yes, I'm a girl!

I do all the daily wraps that you read each evening, and post plenty of the updates you read on here on a daily basis.

I'm also a 20 + year Collingwood supporter, so I hope that I have somewhat dispelled the stereotype of the "uneducated" and "one-ey
ed and biased" Magpies fan. I make it my priority to steer clear of that as much as humanly possible!

I also own SuperCoach Paige which some of you may know, as I'm a big SuperCoach buff! (There are a few other admins on there too!)

I am a writer for Bound for Glory and I pride myself on being a lover of AFL in general, somebody who will write as passionately about your team, as I would about my own.

And for those wondering, I try and steer away from writing anything about Collingwood, as my support for them would suggest to some that I am biased! I promise you, I am not!

I hope that the team I follow, or that I am a female hasn't disappointed you, and I hope that you can continue to join in on this page!

Many of you might know my best mate Josh who runs AFL Off Season Information. Trades, Delistings, Retirements so if you haven't gotten over there and liked his page, I suggest strongly that you do!

Cheers,
Paige

What about Hansen from North Melbourne?

If Dawes was to go would he be a good replacement in the forward line to go with Cloke & Lynch???

Just throwing it out there

Can someone explain the thinking behind trading for Clinton Young as opposed to picking him up via FA??

Only reason I could see would be to stop Hawthorn from getting a compensation pick, as opposed to a higher draft pick that we woulc give them? we havent lost anyone to FA so we arent trying to protect any compensations for ourselves.

Can someone explain why you quoted that post and then asked a question with no relation to it??

Try opening the link to the facebook page that specifically refers to the Clinton Young update

Some are saying Hawthorn would be worse off under the compensation system so we are doing them a 'favour' that will be reciprocated later in the trade period

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Most rumoured deals amount to nothing, particularly those surrounding Dawes. Until his trade is officially announced, I give no credibility to the 'done deal' posters who claim to know precisely where and for what picks players are moving. yesterday he was definitely headed to the Bulldogs. Now I read that he has not yet even decided where he wants to go.

If we were to trade for him I think it shows that we really want him (mature body filling an immediate need) and that our contract offer is not enough to pry him away from Hawks.

At least offering Hawks something in return might lead to them being willing to let him go without too much of a contract fight.

 

[Mark_K]

How can we trade for him when he is unresticted?
