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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
