When did Lynch sign with Collingwood?

I think it's the Lynch thread. Someone just posted from twitter, Barrett says dead is done, Lynch to Collingwood.

Yep - just saw that, thanks.

Carltank must also come into play for Tippet and perhaps the Tigers. Still hard to see him going anywhere but up north.

I refuse to believe the Pies could have paid in line with Tippetts expectations and meet Adelaides compesation requirements. It's just not feasible.

I think we are a possible suitor for Dawes now with Lynch committing to the Pies.

Seriously, player contracts need to become public knowledge, as is custom in sports around the world. That Collingwood could afford a huge offer to Tippett smells of complete rort.

Think we will find a lot of deal being done with Dawes/Brown & Wellingham being off loaded to ease salary cap restictions

hope Melbourne make him an offer he cant refuse, like we did to Mitch

Kurt Tippet Update:

Tippett looks set to don the black and white next season, with close sources saying he had already met with Collingwood recruitment staff Derek Hine and Matthew Rendell.

"The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season."

...

Adelaide believe Tippett will line up for Collingwood in season 2013. Adelaide and Collingwood will speak more over the next 24 hours to get a deal done early in trade week.

The trade involves moving pick 17 they will receive for Wellingham to the eagles and on trade that, and their pick 18 to Adelaide for Kurt Tippett.

That leave Adeliade with picks 17, 18 and 19 in the first round of the draft.

Tippett will formally announce this afternoon which club he intends to go to.

How will they pay for all this Vlad?

Source?

I didn't think you could have more than 2 veterans on your list? Or has that changed recently?

Mate this is what I have been saying all day

How is it possible??

The rumour is getting stronger as the day goes on and on

Coliingwoods salary cap seems legit hey?

Tune into AFL trade week radio now.

Apparently it's all about the best offer now nothing to do with going home. Clearly success is not the only component otherwise he would stay at the crows so unless anyone knows officially otherwise we are well positioned if he is on our radar ?

This competition is getting VERY uneven, VERY quickly. Melbourne must feel like the ugly chick at the school dance.

That is amazing list managment

If this trade happens (unlikely), then i'd expect there would be a good chance Dawes would be wearing red and blue next year

.... you forgot Thomas and Sidebottom who just re-signed also

Sen reported swans may offer 900k a year for him. Not a chance in hell he is worth any more then 600k a year.

If this trade happens (unlikely), then i'd expect there would be a good chance Dawes would be wearing red and blue next year

A few clubs might be interested if he were publicly available though.... Us, Carlton, possibly Dogs. He is still young enough to appeal to a lot of clubs without good key forward prospects.

Yeah right. Come on AFL have a look at Eddie's books. Where is Wally! Absolutely amazing. Just like no one queried Bucks agreement with Channel 9.

It was mentioned this morning that Swans were interested in Tippett

Collingwood wouldn't breach the salary cap, they are too smart.

Just how much are Melbourne's spuds getting paid!? The Toovey's and Johnson's at Collingwood's must be on $150k and we must have Bail's and Bate's on $300k.

We haven't had an A Grader for years. I don't understand how we could be getting within coowee of 92.5% of the salary cap.

vet rules have changed. you can have as many vets as you want. 100k of each vet will be excluded from salary cap.

If they trade Dawes and Welligham they will have find enough. Dawes would be on decent coin.

I reckon its all player manager leeks to gey a better deal from Qld clubs
