Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player discussion

[Jen2310]

I'd wait to see what they get for Houston and tell them to find a pick in the 20's for Joe. Especially given the contract they are offering him.

[warburton lad]

"Say it ain't so, Joe..."

No chance of trading this lad- unless the deal is a 'Godfather' deal.

keep the guy- give him four years- Elliott maybe has only one year left and small forwards are gold (if they can play).

If Port get a pick in the 20's for Houston, maybe that is worth it... Could translate into one of the Whitlock twins.

Otherwise- forget it Pies.

[SLORT]

The guy has been barely played for one game and then unnecessarily dropped for the next. If he isn't picked this week then he's gone, either via a trade to Port or via the draft with a 4yr contract requirement to ensure he gets what he's after.

Pity we missed Georgiades thanks to the Beams trade. Ffs.

[Newelly]

Lukosius? Yes please! That'd be a huge get!

Has the talent but does he have the work ethic and desire ?

Rumoured to be sort by The Crows who will have a better draft hand than us.

Collingwood should inquire about the future of Peter wright
Ok
Bombers fans say lazy
But Peter is known not to want to play up the field

If wright was a magpie I’d leave in the square and play Mihochek Mcstay as leading up fowards
Wright can also pinch hit in ruck

And Scott has shown to have favoured the new foward in caddy

[warburton lad]

Agreed Mr qldmagpie67....

The coaches need to focus on the coaching and let List managers do their stuff.
It is probably too late for 2024 Trade Period, but I would poach Jason Taylor back from Melbourne FC.
He worked under Hine and has done a great job at the Demons- he would be an excellent acquisition.

His father played for the Kangaroos (back in the day- seconds only, but was a fine player)
'Tails' was as keen a Roos supporter that I have ever met as a kid.

I only agree with former Carlton President John Elliott about one thing he said: "You don't try and get the best available- you just go out and get the best..." This is what the Pies need to do.

Leppitsch and Bolton need to stick to the knitting and be elite. Skipworth and Selwood round out a great coaching group under McRae.

Get the best List Manager and let's grab that marking forward McRae wants- hell,Peter Wright would be awesome... I would even take Tex Walker or Jack Darling for 12 months- to give us a seasoned target inside 50.

[Crazypie]

Interesting Mark Keane isn't playing the last round of the year for the crows due to "personal reasons" maybe he's checked out of the crows and checked back into the pies. I hope so! He and Charlie Dean are part of the future of our backline.

[Jen2310]

Rumours is he has walked out
If true. Thats poor attitude. Stay away if he is like that.

[LaurieHolden]

^if so, he's either walked himself into the Draft or straight to the Aer Lingus departure lounge with a one-way ticket.

[SLORT]

Doesn't sound like he's walked out to me. Seasons over, they want to keep him, so are probably just being nice by allowing him to go home to Ireland early.

“Mark has performed at a really high level for us this year and he has our full support in returning home to Ireland for family reasons,” Kelly said.

“We look forward to seeing him back for the start of pre-season.”

Statistically he's had a really strong year so if the club sees him as a good addition to our backline (and face it, they outta know what he has to offer) I say "welcome back".

[piffdog]

Anybody else getting Elliott Himmelberg vibes?? I hope not...

[Jezza]

Josh Rachele ?

Been dropped by the Crows and looks like a major fallout is brewing.

[Presti35]

^
Yep. Been thinking about bringing this up. Is there a issue here? And what is it?

He is a young gun. 21 years old, kicking 30 goals a season, chases and tackles hard. YES PLS!

But as if Crows are dealing.

Well, comparatively, he's probably more gettable than Petracca!

But Rachele, Schultz, Elliott AND Hill in same F50 may not gel; one small too many?
