Defenders Discussion

[av1jme]

There's also Nathan Bock who will be cheap in 2014 plus Suckling who will be mid priced.

Suckling ellise docherty
Then players that may gain dpp...
Mitchell mcveigh.
I can see ill be making many draft teams when the planner comes out

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Locked if Scotland retires. I think he's definitely ahead of guys like Menzel, Lucas and Bootsma there and they got games throughout the year.

Yeah I reckon Docherty would get in there 22, and like Nk said if Scotland retires then he is a certainly.

I LOL'd when I read Bootsma on the list there Nk, I reckon even I would have to get a game ahead of him and I am not even on the Blues list. If I was MM and his staff I would be shipping him off to WCE and taking any pick I could get.

 

[Drew]

The "other" Tippett still looking good, you think if he was drafted clubs wouldn't be bringing him in to warm the bench as a mature ager, could be a bargain SC wise

Yeah, I hope the Swans get him..... I'm sure he has family in Sydney.

I hope the Crows get him, he wouldn't have to move house.....

Hope Geelong get him. We really need backup in case Lonergan goes down as Brown and Hamling are still very raw and need to seriously bulk up.

 

[av1jme]

Wow...Tippett is hot property for fans of the game.
Let's hope our respective teams' coaches/list-managers feel the same way...hahaha

I'm not that partial to Tippett tbh, I just want us to pick up a mature defender that can fill in if required. Would actually prefer Sully (FB for the VFL Cats), but it seems Tippett is more likely to be drafted so I'd hope we at least get him.

 

[av1jme]

By the way Nk29, if Shaw nominates Geelong as the team he wants to play for, what will Geelong offer Collingwood?

Hopefully not more than our second round pick. I honestly have no clue.

 

[av1jme]

Pies will definitely not accept a 2nd Round pick.
Geelong won't trade their 1st pick.
Will be interesting.

I'm not so sure they'll have much choice as Bucks clearly wants Shaw gone and if Shaw says he's only going to Geelong or staying at Collingwood then they'll be forced to take whatever we give them.

 

[av1jme]

The Pies won't be forced as Shaw still has 2 years contract with them.
Eddie will sack the entire department staff if Shaw was given away cheaply.

I know, but the way they are acting it seems like they really don't want him on their list anymore.

 

[IDIG]

Any obvious candidates to step into Heater's role at Collingwood? Will be definitely something to keep an eye on over the preseason.

Seedsman?

Seedsman?

If they get Armstrong from the Swans, he would be a candidate

Is Heath Shaw a lock for Defender next year or will GWS low scoring in SC be a deterrent?

I think that the biggest deterrent with Heater is Heater, dont think he has ever been a lock, always a risk vs reward type.
Will see where GWS use him as i thought that one of his issues at CWood was a lack of Midfield time (maybe a Magpie supporter could confirm or deny), if he was in the midfield mix he might be a starting option.
