1. Do you really think Dawes wants to be playing VFL footy for the next two years???
2. What do you think we will have to give up for Fevola. I can guarantee that it would be something along the lines of Pick 14 and Dawes.

firstly, it would be great if they still taught punctuation at school.

Yeah.... and also great if they taught how to use capitals to begin a sentence

if the club signs him it will prove it has the integrity of a gnat. a key reason cited for not recruiting cousins was cos it was adhering to so-called youth policy. will that now be thrown out?

The difference now is he has pissed off Judd and unlike West Coast they will dump Fev instead of Judd

I hope its true he wants to come to Collingwood because he is EXACTLY what we need, give em whatever they want

i don't get what is so good about dawes anyway. I reckon macaffer is better.

I say get Fev, it's been a long time since we had a player capable of kicking a ton.

But you have to admit with footy season over this kind of stuff fills a void

Spot on. Since 2005 we have invested every resource we have in recruitment and youth development. It is absolutely imperative that we give more game time to the likes of Dawes, Reid and Brown next year to have a real shot at a flag in a couple years time.

Take our top10 most important players off the table and say pick one and our 1st rounder.

We should get Fev if he want to play for the pies.

I can see the blues asking for Nath.Brown, they need another tall in defense and Waite can push up to chf.

Pendlebury out of the back, dishes of to Swan, handball to Didak, breaks clear towards the 50, FEVOLA!!!!!

I can see it now.

I just came. Would do it again, and again again. I'll do it all night.

That we would think about giving up Dawes, Reid or Brown for this tool is incredible. It is going to be a f...ing wasteland for the next 3 years in draft land with the oompalumpas and gws. So lets give away a 21 year old who we have developed and is really showing something for a role the dice shot at next year when I rather like Reid at CHB, Dawes, JA and Cloke forward line as a shot at the flag anyway. Its like the crazy argument that Marty Clarke was a waste - it was a bloody smart idea - lets get around the socialism that is the salary cap (coupled with rules that keep changing) by finding the best talent outside of those rules. We did that. We won first prize - if your not sure look at the 07 preliminary final - what we couldn't solve for was that players are human and sometimes want something other than football. (We are doing the same thing with the nsw players - it is a punt but a damn site better one than bloody pubs).
The list we are building is getting better each year since the Buckley/Clement/Burns departures. We have forwards who can win us a flag what we need to win one is a strong midfield (faark the cats have won 2 flags with 2 decent forwards) and I quite like next year having Pendlebury, Steele, Beams with one of the untried kiddies (Rounds, Blight) possibly doing what Beams did this year, recruit Ball with draft pick 2 and steak knives and move on. If we can get captain sex toy for a 3rd round then okay but I would rather trust Sir Judkins and the list we've got than gamble the next 4 years for a 28 year old moron. We thought the ute story was fun - that will seem like a charity picnic next year if Bwendon plays for us.

I don't WANT to have to wait 3+ more years for a shot. I WANT it IN the next 3 years.

Nothing wrong with that.

I think you mean Coleman medal.

We'd be crazy to give them Brown.

no deal!

negative nancy, go away. "We" want a premiership with a proper and proved goal kicker. Enough said.

Yes yes and YES to all the no's.

..what's Caroline's view on this?
