Bring-Back-Powell

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Much to get excited about next year with the ‘O’28 leading our forward line.

I agree. Up the ante! It’s a risk but we’re not giving up key draft picks. Now Sydney is a team that’s taking a dangerous risk with Daniher, due to giving away first round drafts.

I know it’s not looking good anymore but this would be our greatest free agency signing coup since we got Shannon Byrnes over the line in 2012.

They know about as much as us.

Anyone else flicking between this thread and the Elliott thread on Collingwood’s Bigfooty forum?

Apparently his brother lives in QLD.

Josh Jenkins. The bloke just kicks goals. If he plays 20 games next year, he kicks 40 goals, pure and simple. Can Weideman, Petty, O Mac or whoever we plonked down forward in the train wreck of 2019 snag 40 in a year? Adelaide are more than willing to pay a fair bit of his salary. He has a bad reputation because he’s outspoken in the media, and kicks a lot of goals from the goal square. But id take him as I have no faith in Weed due to injury and consistency.

I would’ve thought the best and fairest would be the perfect forum for Collingwood to announce Elliott’s re-signing. Would have had the crowd in raptures and the supporters on a high into the off season. We’re still a chance but deep down as a Melbourne supporter you know how it’s going to end.

We tried to trade pick 2 for Myers and Colyer but Essendon wanted more. We’ve had some train wreck drafting and trading but that would’ve been the holy grail of epic fails.

Should've finished 3rd in the B&F, rather than Viney.

If it’s now down to Elliott choosing us or staying at Collingwood, we chose a really bad year to have a really bad year.

Good interview that had you listen to his every word. He didn't think we were all that good in 2018 and were quite lucky to beat Hawthorn in the semi.

If take Brayshaw over Gaff. One’s got 5 year of stardom left. The other will be an absolute star in a couple of years for 5-10 years. Anyone who’s undecided about Brayshaw needs to watch his 3 goal performance against Freo late in the year at Marvel.

Sounds right. Hawthorn usually get their man and their mantra is to pay unders for him. Same with Geelong. If you want to win a deal in trade week, Hawthorn would be the last team you’d deal with.

I’ll back the club on this one. Everything we do in trade week and list management turns to gold....

Hawks will offer a fourth rounder for Frost. And knowing Mahoney, he’ll take it with a smile on his face. They got Scully for a fourth rounder (albeit with an injury cloud) , no way they’d offer anything more for Frost.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d rather Frost over Tomlinson. We’re the slowest club in the AFL and we’re now happy to punt the fastest player on our list.

I’d play this bloke as a half forward flanker pinch hitting for 2 centre bounces a quarter. Despire his want to be a full time midfielder, he should be utilising his innate ability to hit the score board. Petracca should be aiming for and kicking 40 goals a year and be in contention for all Australian.

I thought 2019 was a pretty good year by the Dees. Thought ANB, Stretch, JFK and the Wagners took giant strides as AFL footballers.

Wow that’s lofty expectations! The elite such as Martin, Fyfe and Dangerfield aren’t even capable of it.

Just mail Gawn the medal and cancel the night. Absolutely nothing to celebrate this year.

And not once in that article did he mention the club and how he hopes they bounce back next year. It was only about his personal development as an AFL player and how he hopes to become a full time midfielder.

Another example of the media over-rating us, even after the disaster that was 2019. How can North and St Kilda's window be deadlocked closed, two clubs that were significantly better than us in terms of wins. Meanwhile they reckon our window is ajar to wide open after a 5 win disgrace. No wonder our players drink their own bathwater as much as any other club.

If this bloke can finally stay out of the medical room he could be a solution to our key forward woes. A 4 goal JLT performance on one leg was very promising and he can take a grab. A big IF tough in terms of whether he can stay healthy and whether he's actually good enough.
