On the ugly side, what would we need to give up? Simple....Cloke and pick 1, maybe pick 2 as well.


Go the Pies

I was actually thinking Goldsack as they're desperate for a defender, but Cloke could be worth a lot to them too.

The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about prizes for havign the best behaved side. Try being more or less specific. Is that your final answer? Are we still talking about Simple?

yes

I was all for getting Cousins and I would get any drunk or tool if it helped us get a premiership. But his body language was terrible at times in the second half of the season and I reckon you won't get anywhere unless you have total commitment and he didn't show it!

haha - forgot we landed that star!!!!

Just the flavour of the week, last week it was Ball, the week before Lake all next week someone elses reject nuff nuff.

Collingwood can't win a premiership without "insert name here"...
Trade Davis,Cloke and pick 14 for ...
Come Eddie, land a big fish...
Its all Micks fault...

Same Old Same Old.

please do

I was rapped when we got Woewodin.. imediently got a new jumper and put number 2 on it

Bring on The Fev, he'll smarten-up his act just like Swanny, Heater & Dids did!

Who are you, and what have you done with my emu?

It's the off season, I've had time too much time to think

Don't start thinking now, you've managed all these years without it.

If we give Dawes and Medhust for fev, I'll %$#* Mick's *^%$ several times, and trust me he won't like it.

Do it, do it now!

Maybe he will get at least one during his time at the top.

He is the boss, the buck stops with him, and his staff.

yes for me, but undecided really. Happy for MM and crew to make the call. They know best on this one.

Will feel dirty cheering him on, but hey, thats pro-footy these days.

This guy is a gun player. A genuine match winner. A player we don't really have that can break a game open in a Q, A superstar.

I don't think his off-field stuff is all that bad. Yes, can't hold his drink. But he doesn't seem to have punch ons. Unlike other players, with far greater wraps/reputations. Seems pretty harmless IMO, but is just sillyon the grog.

Spitting the dummy on the field is another concern. chasing and the other 1% is a concern.

But I get the feeling this trade will shake him up enough, for him to grow up. He'll always be a tool, but may take life a little more seriously.

Coleman medilists don't fall out of trees.

We threw over $1M at J.brown plus god knows what was needed to achieve the trade. Fev will come far cheaper trade wise.

So i say get him. Dawes is unproven. Although he looks good, Maybe worth including the trade for Fev to give him the oportunity.

Imagine Cloke JA, Medders, Leon/Didak/Dick and Fev in the F50. Their gunna need a real good set of backs on them.

Goldy is solid trade bait I reckon (for any team, not just for Fev). I'd hate to lose him. Maybe the Blues could have Trav down back? With Waite coming back into the side, he could take the backmans roll, while Trav stays forward, or vice versa.

Go the Pies

It's not about saying "we can't win a premiership without.............."

It's about trading to improve your list. And we just haven't done it well enough over many years.

Geelong without Ottens wouldn't have won a flag. Saints did it well with Gardiner, King and others. Hawks with Dew............etc

What's wrong with going after players like Lake, Ball, Fevola when they fulfill a current need?

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?

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.

How old is Leigh Brown? 26? Brendon 27? Youth Policy is under 28?

Horses for courses... Mick's big on that. I like the inherent flexibility that offers.

08...So, Cousins? Midfielder. Current supply? Got plenty and drafted Sidebottom & Beams with 1st 2 picks in one of the strongest drafts of late.

09...Fevola? Goalkicking full forward. Current supply? Nil. With one of the weakest drafts in years, maybe pick 14 and 3rd round plus a defender like Shannon Cox might appeal. Fevola certainly doesn't appeal to Carlton anymore. No going back I reckon.

There is a hole in our forward line that needs to be filled. Experienced forward to fill X Large sized no. 23 methinks. Mick spoke recently of the magnitude of Anthony Rocca's retirement. Different players, and both no Rhodes Scholars either. But potency in attack is what Fevola is almost guaranteeing.

I wouldn't want anyone else but Nick Maxwell facing such a challenge. 10 times the leader Judd will ever be. And a strong group in support too. Far stronger leadership culture at Collingwood than at Carlton. And they'll need it. But they will eat it up.

I hated Graeme Teasdale with a passion when he was with Sth Mel (especially with that Shakespearian beard and coiffed hair and velvet brown suit he wore when he won the Brownlow!!), but I reckon within 30 secs of his first game with the Pies I roared"Teaser!!" with delight.

Bring it on Blues. You know you're on a hiding to no-where.
