A mate of mine just emailed me & reckons Harford said Carlton have offered pick 11 AND a fringe player for Caddy.
Need to clear a couple of players off our list anyway, so that makes sense if it helps snare him. Not sure the GC needs a fringe player added to their list however.

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.
Do you really believe the crap News Ltd prints?

If you trade Dawes, then there's no guarantee that his new club will pay all of his contract. We still had to pay part of Fevola's contract in spite of bending them over in trade week. There's no such thing as a free ride. Rivals for the flag aren't going to be accommodating just so Collingwood so they can add Tippett and Lynch to their list.

Notice how nobody is tearing their hair out Pies supporters? You're so funny because you think re-signing a player and picking up a nearly done third tall makes you better at list management.

You already know Sharrod's gone, Dawes (heart and soul over your way I hear), Rounds and Buckley could be on their way out.

Oh I forgot Wood who you traded a first rounder for. Wow you guys are good at this.

Stones and glass houses boys. We haven't even done anything

Relief ruckman? Since when did we need one?
How many goals did Leigh Brown kick? What has that got to do with anything?
If we go for Tip it will be to play at full forward. Not throw him around like Collingwood have Dawes.
When did I call him crap? Never. He's not a super star by an stretch and if you're giving up good picks/player and 600,000 + per season you'd wanna get a bloody star.
He would improve us, no question.

Here is a list of clubs with a Ruck and relief ruckman/KPF

Hawthorn...Hale and Roughead (finished top 4)
Adelaide...Jacobs and Tippet (finished top 4)
Collingwodd....Jolly and Leigh Brown (finished top 4)

From the above players can you see a pattern??? We need a forward who is a relief ruckman, Hampson is a ruckman not a forward, Casboult, only played 7 games still learning etc etc, how people cannot see that getting Tippet would be a great get is beyond me.

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.
Hardly need such reminders. I appreciate those who genuinely have inside information to offer, and equally appreciate that it won't always be on the money.

Mind you if my source had a strike rate that Danny Morrison would snigger at I probably wouldn't endorse said info quite so readily.

A word of warning to Collingwood supporters. Come on here & post anymore crap & the card will be minimum yellow. If you want to pat yourselves on the back about recruiting a 30 year old player who was rated behind Kennedy & Darling (2nd year player) at the Eagles, do so in your own grubby backyard.

The thing is, this thread is a rumour thread. Some of what is posted in this thread may come to fruition & some may not. If some posters are going to take pot shots at those posters who are prepared to use this thread for the purpose it was created, the thread will very soon have tumbleweed blowing through it. I would hate to think we would have to close this thread down because no-one is prepared to post a rumour in hear for fear of being ridiculed.

According to AFL website Blues are not interested in Caddy which is surprising, hard to know exactly what is going with the Blues list management, do they have salary cap issues which would be amazing for a side that has not finished higher than fifth in 10 years.

One would have thought Caddy would have had a fair degree of appeal, not quite sure what is going on, even consideration picking up a quality 17 year old eg Hogan, we will see but l suspect little if any activity in the next month.

FYI - Tippet isn't going to Collingwood. Carlton is the only serious player amongst the Melbourne clubs.
AFL Trade Rumours 2012

Kurt Tippet Update:
Tippett looks set to don the black and white next season, with close sources saying he had already met with Collingwood recruitment staff Derek Hine and Matthew Rendell.

"The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season."


UNBELIEVABLE!!!

We are the only major club.

It can't be anyone else really could it?
Not much is really sitting well with me at the moment. I'd be nervous about handing over too much for Tippett.
How you feeling about the accuracy (I use that term very very loosely) of the "connected" tippers now Harks?

By my reckoning both Cloke and Lynch were certainties.

I on the other hand am 2 from 2, I called em both BS and so far not one of them has proven otherwise.

Lynch last game this year against the pies was abysmal. Surprised they got him, making it hard for the likes of Paine to break into the side, see how they go though..
