Great kick having him with Reid and Howe would be something Collingwood hasn't seen in a long time.
Yeah he has a great kick and loves to break a line and open things up. Very solid defensively but his biggest strength is his ability to get the ball forward

Yeah but you don't see Jesse White grabbing onto someone's jumper and staring them in the eyes as they're frantically bashing his wrist, trying to make him let go, do you?

It's really not that big a deal. It was only Warnock going the whack...

May, Reid & Pittard would utopia!

Who are we trading out to get it done? Because that looks like a $2.2-2.5 million hunk out of our salary cap to me. I think we can get the first two with some fiddling around the edges, but all three will require a sacrifice.

If we could trade De Goey for May and a swap of some picks that would be a very good outcome.
Absolutely not for me.
De Goey will be special, in my view.
why we would give him up just doesn't compute, looks a head ball beast through the middle.
He's to me one of our untouchables.

Yeah I never meant they were all that different skill-wise, White is probably even ahead in that area. Brown just brought that intangible hardness that White has never had, which is what made him so important to that 2010/11 team and so much better than White.

If White had half the toughness and willingness to smash in to and hurt the opposition that Brown did I'd wager he'd be a fan favourite. Always loved watching opposition players shit their pants when they had the Anvil bearing down on them!
Leigh Brown had good footskills, on both sides of his body, for a big dude.

Gee we miss someone like that.

I love a good trade rumour lol. I'd also love for us to go after Steven May!

Apparently Melbourne are trying to lure Jake Lever back to Victoria, they think he'll stay but because of the EBA negotiations he's currently unsigned for next year (like Grundy), so they're asking the question.

I'd still prefer Steven May though, but if we were to test the waters with Lever I wouldn't be opposed.

Yeah I cringe at reading De Goey's name being thrown up....If we get May I want club to trade out say a Sidney & Greenwood or Sidey & a 2nd rounder (need to acquire) keep De Goey & out 1st pick at all costs.

Reid and Pittard are both free agents so dont have to trade for them

Whilst I prefer to keep Sidebottom, agree with you on keeping de Goey and 1st draft pick at all costs.
Yep spot on
