Time to pounce Dees!!!!!

Recommended Posts

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
