Constant Mongrel

good on him for sticking with it. not my fave by a long shot, but i admire his tenacity and how he's managed to add to his game with forward pressure and improved foot skills.

We've allegedly asked for permission to trade our 2019 first round pick. Means we must have something big lined up (could still be Gaff).

Not sure why this guy isn’t generating more discussion? Word is we are into Shiel up to our ears and will be right up the front of the bus for his signature if the right cards fall our way (especially if Hogan goes).

Exactly what we need. Blistering outside run and link up midfielder with good skills and a bit of healthy arrogance to boot. 

Would love to see him in red and blue.

'a bit' of arrogance?!... geez. he comes across as a real [censored] to me! don't want to see him in red & blue.. much rather kelly.

Not sure where you got the list from but I'm assuming you have not seen Connor Rozee play?

The kid is a gun (outside run with skills) and who be a perfect fit for the team

 

this kid looks really impressive! sometimes you watch underage footage and have to use your imagination alot... not with him. he has got something doesn't he?..

Absolutely. I just found it interesting, unsure if that’s common or not. 

true, true.. wonder why it was leaked. surely it's pretty common. geez if i had to do an interview with the herald sun i'd want to be paid for my time! ugh..

Tom Mitchell the little mercenary charged (through his manager) $1000 per interview following his Brownlow win. 

good on him.. i'd do the same 

Say we do trade Hogan to Freo, who would Jason Taylor & the recruiting staff be eyeing off around pick 6/7?

Personally, i don't think they take either of the King boys and a lot of the other kids reported to be around that point are from WA and SA.. 

Surely they'd be after some outside speed or a halfback-type for our midfield..especially if we manage to land Preuss and May.

Maybe not but if hogan wants to leave you’re tossing up a better deal now or a compo pick potentially next year 

i'd suggest the footy dept. would go after more guaranteed returns that that.

I’d accept brayshaw and their first rounder for hogan. 

what are brayshaw's attributes? will he be a star like hogan? will the pick be a star like hogan??

To be honest, I think Cerra looks a lot better than Andrew brayshaw. 

i agree.. its like everyone thinks that andrew brayshaw is angus brayshaw. they aren't the same player. not sure why everyone keeps referring to him?! they are brothers yes. it'd be nice if they got to play together. but surely we'd be after the best player from freo.. and that would be cerra.

Just hang onto Joel Smith for some more development - he has some class potential that only game time can expose.

i was referring to tyson and smith out of the best 22 btw..

In Preuss, Hogan, Lever, Fritsch

Out Smith, Tyson, Weed, Lewis

i like it..but i think lewis serves an important function with stability downback. not his biggest fan, but he has really good games and goes missing in others. think the club will still put him in best 22 anyway. love the weed. hopefully if he gets more consistenty (like late in the year) he will cause selectors problems... might be a battle between him and preuss. still not completely sold on preuss. seen him do amazing stuff, but could just be a big oaf runnin around not doing much. anyway, depthhhhh. and good for the pies and eagles games. liking smith and tyson out though.

Was Gus even invited?

Someone fill me in please. Why does Moore want to go to Sydney? The Pies look more on the up than the Swans. Surely money isn't the issue as Eddie can top up his contract. His old man was a club champion.

I don't get it...

And of course he jumped to offended on behalf of somebody else which is the way of the internet.

 

and then there's always the people that treat everything as 'no big deal' & keep their mouths shut about [censored] up [censored] on the internet (almost stubbornly - no matter what it relates to).. if nev is ok with it, i am ok with it. but i wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a shirt that is designed by a beer company (there's numerous potential issues here), with nev being redrawn to be a bloody lord/pope or whatever that design is.. its pretty offensive.

I am going to try and stay out of this thread because reading some of the frankly ridiculous comments (we must act! he has to prove he want to stay! he needs to sign! yes he is gun, but we could trade in another gun! we don't need him! i'm not saying we SHOULD trade him, but if he wants to go home! etc etc) does my head in. The thread keeps popping up in the recent posts function and like a fool i can't help but to look. 

But its not all silly posts. This being a good example of a rational, logical one. Leaving aside the fact Jessie is incredibly unlikely to want to leave a club on the brink of a sustained period of finals success for one who is on the complete opposite trajectory (and he would have agree to a trade of course) the club has been shouting from the roof tops about building a team first, 22 brothers running out together , fully connected, group love culture.

For pete's sake it recently became public that our motto this year is one borrowed form the great Norm Smith - Esprit de corps.

Why on god's good earth would the the club risk that culture by putting any pressure on Jessie or considering trading him. I mean please. He is a loved team member who the club has nurtured and looked after during incredible personal issues. One of the brothers. Been at the club since he was 17 years old. The MFC is his his extended .Goody won't have it. And thank go for that.

What about trading Weed instead (jokes)?

succinct bin. and with that post your crystallised my feelings. i henceforth state i will never enter this bucket of turd again. 

legend! what a great human.

Very poor weather here in Collingwood (I work about 1.5km from the G). Pouring rain. Grey skies.

Sadly this should favour Hawthorn. 

how so? surely tigers smalls and the pressure the general team provides would win out against the foot skills & two rucks that the hawks have?

so relevant to us.. in lots of ways. surprised no one has referred to this yet.
