Chris Dawes for Tim Broomhead

Featured Replies

You'd have to laugh at Collingwood supporters wouldn't you?

I remember when the trade happened they were all saying we were delusional for trading pick 20 for him which ended up being Tim Broomhead and now with Cloke struggling, you'd know they'd like to take that back wouldn't you.

HAHAHHAHAH

That's a classic :')

Broomhead has been BOG a few times in the VFL. Missed a lot of last year I think with glandular. All expectations are he'll be a player.

Dawes benefits from being an important leader and player with us. His replacement, who was cheaper in terms of money and draft pick has been Jessie White. Not to mention they have Ben Reid injured.

It's a win-win trade.

The question for Collingwood is whether they should've kept Dawes, Wellingham, H. Shaw, maybe even Jolly just for finals and gone after winning a flag this year. Hawthorn are faltering, Sydney are looking good but not amazing, Geelong look a bit past their prime, Port need a year or so more. Collingwood fans must love that their rebuild is looking good and that they'll be a competitive side for a long time and build under Buckley. But there must still be resentment that after winning a flag with a really young list they only tried the next year before tipping themselves out of the premiership window.

They've pretty much said to Swan and Maxwell it's unlikely you'll win another flag and to guys like Reid, Cloke and Pendlebury in their prime that they will go backwards before they go forwards.

Not a win-win trade until Broomhead plays a game and makes an impact. They could certainly use Dawes in their F50 atm.

I would say they swapped Dawes for Lynch who they brought in to play the same role. Sure, the picks don't align, but that's what they did. Hasn't exactly been a great move so far for them.

I actually thought this topic was a pizztake when I first saw it. Where does that name have it's origins in?

 

This topic usually gets swept under the carpet, good to see someone get a handle on it.

Needs to bulk up around the neck region.

On draft night I thought the pies had cleaned up with Broomhead.

It's a sweeping statement but wouldn't the pies have been better off using Broomhead early doors to add youthful vigor in replacement of Chris.


so the pies aren't swept off their feet ?

I don't know what it is for the Pies, but it is a huge win for us. Neeld was a horror and some of his moneyball recruiting was way off, but as far as the major/central part of his recruiting strategy he did get a few things very right.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
