Melbourne v Collingwood


Brock 08

Recommended Posts

if there offering fev, as well eagles wont take that for sure,

If they trade Fevola, just how is Chris Judd ever meant to win a flag with Carlton?

Judd is not stupid, he wants a good team around him so that he can win another flag... or three.

Without Fevola, Carlton won't even make the finals in the next 3-4 years, let alone win a flag.

And as far as I know, they are not trading pick 1.

If the rumours are true, they are willing to offer West Coast pick 3 + Pick 20 + Josh Kennedy, which is like us giving them Pick 4 + Pick 21 + Chris Lamb.

If Judd did choose Collingwood I wonder what West Coast would ask for?

Obivously you'd go for Thomas or Pendelbury, knowing they won't give either up.

Nathan Brown (drafted last year) is the brother of Mitch (I think) on the WC list, they could get him, as he was a top 8 pick last year IIRC.

Collingwood would still need to acquire a top pick via trade.

I just can't see how they could satisfy West Coast.

They also still have Buckley (hard to see him playing more than a handful of games in 08), Burns and a very slow O'Bree. I think Rocca, Wakelin and Presti are just about done as well. They have a lot of exciting youngsters coming up - personally I think it will be the same old same old with Collingwood... they won't get the deal done because all they'll offer is Didak and their first pick.

And as far as I know, they are not trading pick 1.

They had a meeting with the footy department to discuss it, but the outcome is not known, Ratten has also said he won't trade Fevola. How negotiable the Blues are is anyone's guess. Footy departments aside, I'm staggered at the supporters of other clubs refusal to trade their first pick and player X for Chris Judd -especially if the medical prognosis is to be believed. None of the four clubs has a player that could hold a candle to Judd in terms of ability, but listen to fans of the other three and half their bloody list is untouchable - for the best player in the league who is only 24.

:lol: Oh so true.

Carlton fans are in for a rude shock if they think that happy meal will get the job done. What a joke. I wouldn't rule out Carlton bending on the number 1 pick though if Judd nominates them as one of his preferences. Surely Melbourne and Collingwood will be his two choices, which would leave us in very handy stead.

I don't want to get my hopes up... Judd in the red and blue and Collingwood fans whining.... please, please, please.

Over on BF or the sewrage pond as it would be better described the ferals are already talking about circumventing any process by getting Ed to use in omnipetence to declare free agency. God I hope Juddy comes to us!

It's interesting listening to collingwood supporters not wanting to trade away some of their young talent for Judd. I wonder if the question was put to them, would you trade away some of your young talent to have Nathan Buckley be 24 again, and have another 10 years of service, if their response would still be the same.

If his family live in Sandringham, then you would assume that he would set up residence towards that part of town, making us and Collingwood the easiest commute for him to get to training etc!

I'm looking at all angles here !!!!!!! :lol:

Absolute garbage. From what i've seen, Josh Kennedy is a far better prospect than Newton, who everyone here is getting excited about.

Actually, Juice averages more goals, more marks and more disposals than Kennedy (and has only played 10 games, to Kennedy's 22) :rolleyes:

Even Miller averages more disposals and more tackles, and is only 0.1 less in average goals. :D

Yer I saw that as well. Still sick of these hacks putting in that 'Judd prefers Collingwood'. They haven't got a clue.

But in spite of what Nisbett says, I don't believe it's his doubting Collingwood's ability to come up with a trade. They could pull some strings and find something, just like anybody else. WC are extremely reluctant to do business with Collingwood. In fact I think they'll almost flat out refuse, the way this is going. Collingwood are wasting their time. Even if Judd did want to go there (which I sincerely doubt), WC will not do business with Collingwood.

Especially after knocking them out of the finals at their home ground, just think how much that alone cost the club. I think West Coast will want early first round pick to pick up a local talent. Collingwood won't trade a younger quality player. When you look at it closer Collingwoods list aint that great for the future Buckley 36 y.o next year, Burns 34, Clement 32, Rocca 31, Wakelin 34. These players are there center spine, take away these players and you are missing alot of experience and quality, players that are key match ups. If Judd believes they have a better list than us i think he is a dill. If we had our best side on the park we would [censored] them, considering our injuries, when we played them this year we were evenly matched while playing players which were not match fit. With a new coach and staff and our upcoming talent I see us as the better choice. I just hope he can see this with his own eyes

Now I'm really confident. Mate, you come out with a thousand Melbourne trades a year that never come off. Now you're telling us a trade won't happen. I think we've just moved to odds on favourite for Judd!

BTW I love your trade predictions each year - they certainly add a little flavour.

Really? I didn't realise I made so many trade predictions haha I'm serious...

Very interesting - i have heard from a relative that his preference is US! I am sure that every one of his relatives can tell us a different story so that is why I wasn't going to post anything. I was told this on Friday so maybe things have changed over the weekend.... who knows????

Chris Judd's preference is Collingwood. :( From a relative of the man.

You can take this info. or leave it, I hope they are wrong or the deal doesn't work.

Apparently that relative missed the end of the sentence which in the best comedic tradition finished with.....NOT!!! ;)

Geddy, there's no doubt that Collingwood were his initial preference. I too believe this to be so.

Much depends on when these relatives were informed. I think we've closed the gap.

I doubt Judd would be bandying around his preference to relatives with such loose tongues.

Maybe he just wasn't aware his relatives had such loose tongues ;):P !!!

This is a little off topic, but this gag made me laugh when I read it:

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in Collingwood and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Collingwood fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Collingwood fans.

Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says:

"Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Collingwood fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked:

"Well, if you're not a Collingwood fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I'm a Melbourne fan and proud of it," Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.

"Mary, why are you a Melbourne fan?"

"My mum is a Melbourne fan and my dad is a Melbourne fan, and so I'm a Melbourne fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Melbourne fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute, your dad was a drug addict, and your brother was a car thief, what would you be then?"

"Then," Mary said, "I'd be a Collingwood fan." :lol:

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
