Jordie_tackles

He is, but we also need high quality midfielders, every team would love a Cloke imo

That is the quote i was looking for thankyou Jose Was quite a good interview i mucked up about 3/4 of the way through for me, but i like listening to Neeld personally.

Brad Sewell is 28 wouldnt say young in comparison tbh

All good points deluded, Would Neitz have been better if he played forward for his whole career? we were suck in that we lacked tall men down back forcing on hand at that stage. I think Cook has more than enough weapons up forward, but you are right about Mcdonald, his athletic ability would suit him playing up front, he is one of my favourites

Back of jumper is still the same imo, the blue isnt too different to ours though

no issues for me, the orange kinda looked blended to me. Great for us

Why does everyone want to switch Cook and Mcdonald i just dont see it? Cooks hands i have seen first hand and his kicking is great Mcdonald is as solid as i could have hoped own back for a 20yo.......and is big just dont get it

Maxwell is a joke imo...... doesnt defende well at all, can general all the others in defence but no better, if not worse than Rivers. seriously

Dont rate Hunt or Dyson personally. Byrnes could be the small forward we just dont have and could be jus tas easy as offering a decent contract and the option of game time!! young could be interesting, nice enough player but by no means is he untouchable at Hawthorn, would he be that good at Melbourne?

Sidebottom is out of contract (i believe) and has been mentioned as the real target by many on here when we push up Clokes price tag

Got my new jumper today in the mail, the WEBJET logo is just the name and mouse thingy, not the orange box, LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER I like the red and blue used, didnt notice it last week at the game but might already in use in games? anyone else got one yet?

To clarify ass i heard it again, Neeld says something more like "we arnt interested in talent, talent will only get you so far in this game, we want people that want to play ect"

That is the only way we could pull Cloke from a top 4 magpies outfit imo, 1.25 a year for the rest of your career....... No doubt we have alot of front end cap room atm, the same way we will have payed a huge chunk of Clarks salary off already, we will still have this rrom for another free agent over the next two years also. 7 year deals are crazy talk though

I would think Watts would still play alot off of the HFF more than wing, also there are two wings, and morton has played alot and shown he is capable playing inside this season, so i disagree

Interesting thoughts by a collingwood supporter on there cap situation and where the big players are at ect Suggesting the main target is Reid being targetted by GWS, which makes sense imo http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=946116 Also suggests Beams is a target of the QLD teams and Sidebottom by everyone

no where nears as bad, Bailey played the outside game, Neeld basis his around contested inside football ect, tackling which we still need to improve

Would the potential repercussion of that decision be being felt recently by the Lions, They could afford Black, Power and Brown at the time but i think they back loaded there contracts and then had to get rid of Rischetelli ect, or was that just the Fevola decision? Point being if you dont manage the list perfectly signing Cloke, Pendles and Swan et al now mayy hurt there window in 2 years time with Sidey, Beams, Reid, Shaw Fasolo, Wellingham ect

I heard a short snippet on SEN this arvo with Neeld saying something along the lines of "talent isnt important to us", but then clarified it by saying it wasnt the number one thing they were looking at, he was interested in players commitment ect alot as well rather than just natural ability. only heard a 20 second part but sounded intersting? "discipline and work ethic" were the word used Anybody hear this, may not have been today, just replayed today? found it: http://www.sen.com.a...Mark-Neeld/4593

He is still top 3 for contested marks this year i believe..... but yes Cloke is the best contested mark/mark in the comp atm

I would think we and others will be trying to push either a Sidebottom or Beams out of the Collingwood midfield. There caps needs to break somewhere and i think it is getting close.

may also be running patterns ect, but yeah just his game in general, what he needs to do. Riewoldt wasnt amazing tonight but he work hard, and made alot of contests even if he wasnt winning the majority

what

I think Olisik is being extra smart, We give up nothing but lettin ga player slide, we get all our top picks and a 17yo for what taking the second and third best players this year and a 17yo instead of the true number one. Add Viney onto this at 20odd we we would be getting 4 top 5 picks and pick edit - i dont like thinking about and it wont happen (us finishing 18th) i honestly think we will have a strong second half to the year

true, i agree, he doenst get that much of the ball, he IS explosive but he is like Dangerfield 3 years ago or 2, only gets it 15 times a game, until he pushes this upto 25 or so it wont be much, he should get alot of cheap ball being as tall and athletic as he is but he doesnt.......
