Yeah 21 and 47 on the table for Dawes, what 21 wasn't good enough?

It certainly is mind boggling.

You pay peanuts, you get monkey's.

As Comrade said, what happened to building from the ground up?

Not a lot to smile about in 2012 AFL wise.

Has this been confirmed or is this still speculation?

Oh man this stinks.

I thought we were REBUILDING.

All week I'm dreaming about Jack Martin and all the talent available in the draft.

This trade period is turning into a disaster.

Re: 2012 Trade rumours and discussion

Giving up pick 21 is giving up the opportunity to draft a Fyfe or a Reid or a Beams in favour of a slow, immobile 40 goal a year key forward.

If we do take Dawes and he turns into a 60-70 goal gun forward who drives us up the ladder, I'm more than happy for anyone to laugh on my face. I feel pretty safe.

That would be a very interesting choice from the Demons. Personally, I would lean towards that being a loss for them, but maybe they don't rate whoever they're going to get at #4?

I don't know if there is much in it, but it is being discussed at crazy Vossy's end.

Some stringer-files are going to die if collingwood land string with pick 21.

Perhaps we can re-hire Rhode as our Football manager?

It would be an improvement (sorry, couldn't resist )

Still speculation from my understanding, still has got me pretty flat though.

Re: 2012 Trade rumours and discussion

Sorry about my earlier post, seems it was speculation not fact. What I do know for sure is Collingwood are happy to move Dawes on, at the right price. 3 clubs interested, ourselves, Melbourne & Carlton are now interested.

I don't mind Dawes, just don't think he's worth pick 21.

Re: 2012 Trade rumours and discussion

Anyone else get the feeling our list manager is out of his depth, if pick 21 and 47 are the offer.

I get the feeling most of our club is out of it's depth right about now.

Why?

Re: 2012 Trade rumours and discussion

Sorry i needed to add in the 21 and 47 for Dawes part, that is massive over for a guy who just isnt that good a footballer.

Hasn't happened yet. Worry about it if it does I'd suggest.

If its pick 47 or even a pick in the 30's ( I know we dont have one)I'm okay.
But if we effectively shipped Lake out to move up 6 places in the draft, to then give to Collingwood for Dawes then I'm going to lose all faith in our club.
Surely this will not come to pass, we are not that stupid.
