It would seem that we pulled out of the race. The club would have been interested at a bargain basement price, but both Collingwood & Melbourne pushed his price up so the wise thing to do was pull the pin & of course there is now another KPF on the market (albeit as a potential trade) who has a bit more to offer than Lynch.
glad we pulled out, bidding wars are dangerous.
just ask my paypal account:oops:

This board is starting to look like the Port coach thread. When we don't get someone it is because we were not really interested at the price rather than we can't attract them. I think it is far more likely that we have real cap pressure and cannot offer much otherwise we run into trouble in a couple of years when Murphy et al are due for a pay rise. Chances of picking up Caddy seem remote unless we can offload Warnock's salary. No wonder MM said he was happy with the list and we would be quiet in trade month. He had no where to move.

Whilst some of us would have loved Lynch (myself included), it is clear he would have played a much more important role at Carlton than at Collingwood. $300,000 a year is a bit rich for the big Q.

Facts are there is every chance you will lose Wellingham and Dawes this month.

In: Lynch
Out: Wellingham, Dawes

Doesn't look that great on paper does it mate. I know who I would rather have.
I think you mean.
In: Lynch, Tippett
Out: Wellingham, Dawes

That's better ;)

Why would we lose Dawes the only way he leaves is in a trade for Tippet.

And what about goldsack and krak??? I guess they'll squeeze in to?
Pretty much, with Wellingham and Dawes gone plus Swan, Johnson, Maxwell and Didak we can add to our vetarans list, we'd have over 1.15 mil free.
Sign Q Stick up on 200k Tippett 700-800k and give Krak and Goldsack the rest, pretty easy.

Have you ever been to Adelaide ?

With all due to respect to our Adelaide members, I can imagine a young guy from the Gold Coast being pretty underwhelmed by living in Adelaide whereas the bright lights and big cities of Melbourne or Sydney could seem pretty exciting.
Great Line Andy..:thumbsu:

So apparently we have not so much as approached Caddy's management...your source goes 0-2 again BIB.
Again I remind posters not to take as gospel everything the media publishes. They just keep having a bit each way & when they get it wrong no-one seems to want to hold them to account, but in contrast there are those prepared to call out a poster if something doesn't transpire as first stated.

FA & Trade Week is all about rumours, some of which become fact, whilst others don't. The key is not to be recruiting players just for the sake of recruiting players. We are not missing out, we are just not prepared to sell the farm in the same way that other are.

We'll see wont we. Unless you think Q-stick is a viable option to be a 2nd ruck for 22+ games a year, which good luck to you if you do, then you will be chasing Giles. If you want to go into a game with Jolly, Giles, Lynch and Dawes, then again, good luck to you. Id back a midfield of Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, McLean, Scotland, Simpson, Walker, Lucas and Robinson to run that top heavy side ragged. Heck, even Chris Dawes could kick 40+ goals with that midfield ;) Tippet is going to Gold Coast or Brisbane.
Is this the same midfield that finished out of the 8?

Can you elaborate on that theory please Woody?
