Hunt29 297 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Apparently on a truck load of money as the contract goes on. Back ended and pies maybe looking to invest in a key forward. Not many win a flag without a key forward. Quote

Demons1858 1,820 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 He is going to gold cast, just playing hard to get so he and his manager can attempt to drive up his value. That's my opinion 1 Quote

That's my opinion You should put the opinion proviso part at the start of the otherwise seemingly definitive statement. I'll show you an example: 'In my opinion he is going to the Gold Coast, just playing hard to get so . . .' etc. followed by any other random speculation you wish to include. I don't mean to be a [censored], but the world will be a much better place if everyone just followed these simple rules. 1 Quote
DeeSpencer 26,667 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 I get the feeling the Pies see a chance of pick 5 and a young key forward in the draft and the Suns see the chance of getting a gun mid when they've had a heap of picks as is. His biggest flaw is rushed disposal. His second biggest flaw is availability. But the deal makes too much sense for both clubs not to look at. As much as we need an injection of inside pace I don't think he's what we need or worth the risk. 1 Quote
JV7 2,375 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 He is 100% gone from the Pies. Collingwood suggested they would facilitate a trade up north to go with his family, he has turned around and said he wants to be strictly traded to a Melbourne based club 1 Quote

My source is quiet high up at Collingwood & always is on the money with his tip offs so I'd take this too the bank (as Robbo once said) 3 Quote

Lil_red_fire_engine 11,376 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 A big no from me. Is a massive gut runner but is possibly the biggest butcher by foot in the AFL. Particularly on the money he is on. Quote

I dont see the point of gaining territory if it just comes straight back over your head. 1 Quote

Literally coughed up an opportunity to goal to pass off with no pressure against essendon as one recent example. Quote

My source is quiet high up at Collingwood & always is on the money with his tip offs so I'd take this too the bank (as Robbo once said) It does help if you note the general nature of the source - not that I would expect you to divulge the second part. But the response (admittedly grumpy - pre-trade time does my head in) was in respect to constantly having to determine if statements in these threads are mere speculation or derive from gleaned information. I acknowledge that you provided some further detailed info which would help to deduce the latter, but I don't know if this is being repeated from the radio or somewhere else or whatnot. Anyway, thanks for sharing what you've been told. It is appreciated. 1 Quote

Separate yourself from those who are just speculating with their own opinions. It's true some (myself included from time to time) will question your sources, but if you do have a good source, I'd prefer to know when you're passing on info vs when you're just offering your own opinion.

Adam The God 30,706 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Wanted him a few years back, but his contract is too big for us if we want to keep Petracca and Oliver happy. 2 Quote
DubDee 26,666 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Very strange from the Pies. They Liked him enough to trade him in. He has gotten better if anything with the pies and now they’ve basically told him to [censored] off? Not great player management. Some injury concerns but he has some good years left. They must have their eyes on a big trade. Or maybe it is cap space for De Geoy? sidebottom and pendels are really getting on. Beams and Treloar gone too. Bit light on in the middle. And Grundy struggling too 3 Quote
