Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022

Props for using the word Eshay, I haven't heard it used for ages. I once heard it defined as "bogans who stress like tennis players"

It's a stressful life they choose! Train stations are high pressure environments.

Taylor Walker is out of contract but is still a very effective player. He has kicked 5 today and is moving well.
We probably don't need him especially with Bruce coming back from his injury but he could still offer something for a team over the next 2 years.

Taylor Walker?

I'd rather bring back Danny Delre

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022

I'd take him on for the right price.

We wouldn't be able to pay him what he is worth on the open market but I'd take him if we could get him. It's not like we haven't straightened out our own dickheads over time.

.......and yes I get we got rid of Stringer and Dahl, and almost got rid of a few more but the guys who stayed could actually play a part in making sure he pulls his head in. He might be a guy who thrives in the secondary Melbourne environment rather than the big four or whatever it is now type environment.

We need a natural forward of his size and ability.

Jordan De Goey?

I'd rather Jesse Stringer!

English, Marshall and Cameron have signed deals. I wonder if the speculation about the money being offered for Jackson is spooking clubs into getting their ruck man signed.

I wonder if clubs are cautious as they see what has happened with Grundy and how its impacted the Salary cap of Collingwood, as a result have to offload players .

I would be. More so poor performance.

Maybe, but all those guys are also good as hell (even Cameron don't believe what some people were saying in the Collingwood game day thread). Doubt they weren't priorities.

One thing I agree with Kane Cornes, he doesn't like long term contracts. I think 3 years is about right.

5 years for exceptional talents such as Naughton and Bontempelli. That would be my ceiling

It's tough, I agree. Those 5 year deals can kill you. Market might be saying 5 years so sometimes we have to if you want to keep that player.

FWIW I was stoked we got Macrae at 5 years, would we say the same if say Dunkely was signed on for the same?

Macrae? I was pretty happy to lock him down for that length of time.

You are right, the market determines it. Another club could go 5, or like Dahlhaus. We offered 3 and Geelong went 4.

Dahlhaus. My son was talking about him today, he's still upset that he left. We dodged a bullet there.
