Maybe better to keep a war chest for next year, our window is so very narrow right now it's almost not worth it imho - we should just tighten the belt, take the blows and rebuild for a better tomorrow.Piesnchess wrote:We are cashed up now, heaps of room In cap, go for a really big fish for once, just once.!

Agreed. Clark is hardly the answer to our prayers right now, and throwing all our money at him would be a giant mistake. Would certainly be a great addition to our forward line, but would rather be saving that $$ to pull off something special.The Boy Who Cried Wolf wrote:Maybe better to keep a war chest for next year, our window is so very narrow right now it's almost not worth it imho - we should just tighten the belt, take the blows and rebuild for a better tomorrow.Piesnchess wrote:We are cashed up now, heaps of room In cap, go for a really big fish for once, just once.!

When choosing a club, spending time in the area of course makes sense. I wouldn't consider missing out on his signature a great loss anyway. We have bigger fish to fry.
I say pass anyway, always thought he was disingenuous in the extreme after his dealings with Brisbane.
As a Deakin University lecturer I can tell you that if his missus reckons she'd rather study medicine at Geelong instead of Melbourne or Monash she must be crazier than he is. Maybe they both have mental health issues.
Deakin's 6 year old Medical course "beats the pants off", the 100+ year old course at Melbourne & the 50 year old one at Monash?? I know what diploma I'd rather see on the wall of the operating theatre as they wheel me in & it sure ain't one from Geelong!

I don't think Clark has changed his mind at all, entertaining offers from places and will decide which suits him better. If it's us, great, and if he plays some great footy even better. If not, well no big loss, just go after someone else.
So I think all along Clark had teams in mind where he was going to go, but has now narrowed it down and will decide when he's ready and then we can get the ball rolling.
Maybe what has Collingwood slightly ahead is the readiness to deal, I think Clark also wants the Dees not to lose out as well. So maybe that could sway things a bit more in the favour of the Pies. but who knows really.

Dangerfield is not going anywhere. Brisbane has already dug its heels in and said Beams for Pick 4 and nothing else, so the supposed extended trade that sees Beams go to Brisbane and us winding up with Dangerfield is just not going to happen.

The club won't let Beams go for pick 4 only, it would be a PR disaster, reckon we'd rather keep him for next year in the hope of changing his mind.collie dog wrote:Three words. Absolutely no chance!Piesnchess wrote:Lazza wrote: Good on you Dave. Totally agree with you mate. Let's get the next one.
