Bucks on footy classified said players who want more coin will be forced out of collingwood at seasons end. O'Brien, Wellingham, Cloke, Goldsack and Beams. And apprentley Cloke contract talks have taken a backward step atm. Of course most will stay, but im sure Neeld and co will be looking at someone at seaons end. Well i hope so!!!

Lets offer Collingwood pick 13 and Moloney for wellingham or Beams.

Posted

Do we need to offer them anything?

Beams is out of contract. We can just take him can't we?

Not unless he holds out and we take him in the draft and run the risk of GCS or GWS taking him before us.

But that would also lack the need to give Collingwood anything wouldn't it?

Neeld & Leroy would know which Dees players the Pies would like, and which Pies players are worth the effort. In other words, they'd know the best bait (Bate???) to use. Insider knowledge of both clubs.

Moloney wouldn't break it into that Collingwood side. And the sweetener of pick 13/12 is a good sweetener, but i doubt this will happen unfortunately.

Agreed, on what basis does a club with too many see currency in a mid that wouldnt be in their best 22?

Pies are surely after top ups for their backs or youth but not old mids.

i'm sure we could get pendles and beams for morton if we wanted too........couldn't we??

Can someone please explain why we are discussing who collingwood would want?

Isn't Beames out of contract?

Why would we give the Pies anything other than a thank you and a smile?

Because we can't get him without GWS or GC trumping us.

You are acting as if the FA rules applies to him - they don't.

Pretty obvious where Collingwood are falling down this year and directly relates to Leroy himself. It all adds up to the Stefan Martin Experience wandering up Swan Street.

Matthew Lloyd said at least 6 weeks ago that Travis Cloke and his management were making a mistake not coming to terms with Collingwood sooner rather than later because by the time he signs there won't be enough room under the cap to give him what he wants. Which means with Dayne Beam's rapid improvement there will be pressure not only on Collingwood's list management team but also on all the unsigned players. Will this lead to a breakdown in the club's otherwise solid 'side by side' mentality? If so, it will be interesting to watch all clubs, not just ours, acting like vultures.

Will they take pick 13 alone for wellingham?

Would fit in nicely!

Just as a cat amongst pidgeon input. Buckley. Hardly able to beak into and maintain a possie in a very lacklustre side a Melbourne is now happily ensconced at the filth. Point being. The various FD's often perceive things very differently to us mortals lol

Buckley's the kind of happily ensconced that should Collingwood have anywhere near a best 22 available come finals he wont be in the team. Still prone to a terrible turnover very often.

This exactly. Disposal still shocking. Only holding down a spot at Collingwood due to injuries.

Also, questions over his character. (As with Beams)

Posted

Huh? Wellingham is a bit-part player, albeit a handy one.

If pick 13 were to be traded, I would swoop on Boak from a team of misfits ahead of a guy that looks good because of playing under a well-oiled machine.

Probably not,,, but IMO he would be appreciated by Sheedy, & I think GCSuns could use another hard bodied player in they're lineup.

Port as well wouldn't be amiss with a player like the Beamer.

Oh sorry Eddie ... over my dead body. You can lose the Queens Birthday game

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
