List Mgmt. Trade & F.A. 2017 (if a scenario sounds wrong - read on before posting)

Given wells quality when on the park I maintain it was and is worth the risk.

As for hodge, good on him, who cares really. No issues with him playing as long as he can get away with it

I don't think anyone is challenging that POV because like you I was ok with it at the time before I realised the club would be happy with that output. The issue related to the reaction to the comments from Buckley and Brisbane. That's all.

As a tidbit, Pendles said that Wells is already in training at the centre 4-5 days a week in preparation for this preseason.

Geez Paul Connors talked Stewart Crameri up big time on trade radio this morning.

Over his injuries, fit and wants to prove a point. Really pushed him as a player that would thrive on a 1 year deal that would come on the cheap. Called him a "hidden gem". Almost got me thinking that he might be worth a spot for a very late pick as a stop gap measure to protect Darcy Moore.

What happened with the Daniel Menzel talk. I would prefer him over Jack Watts, we would get him without giving up any picks and does have a clean set shot

Surely we dont have a need for another medium marking forward who applies no defensive pressure

That too, is music to my ears.

Id rather take crameri on base contract

 

[Crazy Tails]

Intriguing...

Well they look to have missed on Stringer and Smith. A real possibility they could switch their attention to Watts.

A period of Watts and Ablett still keeps Cats at the top end.

 

[Apex36]

That’s pretty simplistic.

Not really.

 

[Apex36]

You reckon? It doesn't make the situation around Wells anymore palatable, but I'd be shocked if Hodge were to get more than $400k in 2018.

If he were there's every chance it relates to them hitting their salary floor with Rockliff gone.

I’d wager if he’s on big $$$ and he’s regarded as a player/coach that a chunk of his salary will be counted under the footy dept cap rather than the TPP too, much like Hudson when he was with us.

Congrats, you just got sucked in by the same guy that said Freeman would be a good pick up for the Saints and that Freeman was leaving because there was no opportunity which is why we weren’t chasing Aish...

 

[cakewalk06]

Thoughts on jarman impey if in play? My impression is he has real speed which we need

Hasn’t he already requested a trade to Hawthorn?

According to Chicken Nixon Sidey and Pendles meeting with Watts.

LOL too subtle for some.

Hahahah fair enough. I just can’t take anything Connors says seriously, the guy is a snake oil merchant.

Cats into Watts.

I guess Collingwood Fans be saying that is the Best Thing to Happen to Collingwood all Season

Is Ricky that Believable?

I love this Time of Year but for Me and Collingwood be 1 of the Most Boring Trade/FA Period for a Long TIme

We don’t need another Mayne. Best to stick with the one we’ve got stuck with and hope he either improves or we don’t need him and he’s just depth

maybe but he is not a free agent, is he? surely we can ask the question. why just leave it to happen quietly?? he strikes me as a player with plenty of upside and could really fill a need either back, forward or mid....

 

[TradeDraft]

Funny I can read his Tweet here but The Sleaze Ball has banned me on Twitter

Hes actually not bad with his info

Hawks got * all to offer trade wise
