Unlike Beams, he went to his club's B&F knowing he was leaving

SUPERCOACH

Year Games Average
2009 11 44.5
2010 17 63.9
2011 13 57.7
2012 5 45.6
2013 6 92.2
2014 19 94.2

So technically 2013 was his break out year, he just struggled to get on the park because of injuries.

Injuries? Why didn;t you say so? He'll fit right in at Pieland.

[Lazza]

really curious as to why he would want to leave a prelim finalist to go to a club that seemingly (according to some) has no hope.

See JW, you knock me for being a shit stirrer and now YOU do the same....
I say nothing except to say I agree with you...

lazza, i am not just referring to the knockers on this site but also the media.

One bit of advice JW. Worry about comments here before any in the media. At least they have SOME idea about Collingwood here (whether we agree or not) but most in the media have absolutely NO IDEA....

Started 2014 in the ressies. Interesting...

[RudeBoy]

It's puzzling that he would choose to come to a club with a coach none of the players like.

[John Wren]

naughty. you'll have lazza to answer to.

[neil]

But he is coming to a club in disarray the players hate the coach and we are in decline

Think I read that somewhere

[regan is true fullback]

Nice one in the year of Merde. Because it is the year of Merde I will believe it when the paperwork is done, a la Luke Ball.

Maybe we can salvage something out of the wreckage. I would be happy for pick 4 or 5 plus a player, anyone as long as he can play footy, for Beams; and whatever we can get from Melbourne for Harry.

Remember the last year of Merde netted us Scott Pendlebury...

Is it really true that we have just offered a bloke we have never met $1.8 Million?

Someone please tell me this is not the case.

Years of list management planning, thousands of hours of watching and profiling potential recruits. An army of scouters all over the country.

Whats the point?

Honestly how long have we had our eyes on him?
Is this a strategic targeted investment?

I hope it pans out great - but crikey it does have a hint of desperation does it not?

How do you know we haven't been scouting him all year?

How do you know that that "Years of list management planning, thousands of hours of watching and profiling potential recruits. An army of scouters all over the country. " haven't come to the conclusion that Levi Greenwood is a very good pick-up for Collingwood and worth the offer we've put in front of him?

How do you know we've never even met with him?

There's a lot of assumptions there to come to such a negative conclusion

[CarringbushCigar]

Hey Mr Malta,

Thats why I'm asking the questions.
Where are my assumptions and conclusions here?

I think you must have drawn your own.

Strewth !!

Seriously? Is there absolutely nothing the club does that you support?

Club gets lambasted for not matching the $3.5M the Blues offered Daisy and now gets a whack for recruiting some much needed senior experience to replace and Luke Ball's of the team. Doubt the club has made any uninformed approach to Greenwood, kid should be hitting his prime, has finished 2nd in their B&F, he's hardly a hidden secret.

Clearly an oversight by Hine & Co not to post a full briefing on Nicks prior to going after this kid.

There's you assumption.

Assuming we haven't met him is making an assumption. Pretty sure you're not privy to the inner dealings of Collingwood Football Club.

[CarringbushCigar]

I never lambasted anyone for not offering the 3.5M for Daisy
I was, am, and always will be critical for offering the 0.9M as has been suggested.

What choice did Thomas have ??

Now we are offering twice that for a 26yo with 70 games under his belt, that we may have never met.

Excuse me for being slightly concerned.

I am asking if it is true? Can't you read?
I think the 1.8M is close and could be unders.

Just wondering if anyone from the club has ever shaken his hand, sat down for a coffee with him?
