Caro nuts Harry for Beamsy

[nulla]

[35forever]

I can't believe everyone is so happy to lose Harry! You people clearly aren't watching the games very closely, twenty times a game harry's guts and brilliance saves us a goal or launches a thrust, only Heater gets more running bounces, and Harry's strength is phenomenal. He's also one of the most team-oriented guys at the club, he loves the Black & White more than he loves the Dalai Lama!

Now if you wanna see why these guys will be staying I suggest watching a few eps of the B&W Show. The fun and the camaraderie among these guys is incredible, I've watched many similar shows from other clubs and they have nothing like the closeness our guys enjoy.
And again, being at a club as likely as us to pick up a flag or five is worth money to players. "Premiership player" before your name makes you an attractive prospect to other teams, as does finals experience.

I hate losing players. Any players who have worn the Black & White in anger are heroes of mine, and I dread the day at the end of each season when we learn who is retiring, leaving or being delisted, & I hate the idea that the more idiotic 'supporters will 'boo' them for playing in other colours.

It does seem that we will lose someone, maybe Wellyboot, maybe even Trav, but god I hope not, although I'm worried that Trav's demands and his apprent form are not jibing, & despite his haul on Saturday I didn't think he was THAT much better than in previous weeks. I actually think he's been very good the last few, just not kicking goals. On Saturday it all went his way, but we forget that at half time the commentaters were saying Glass had had the better of the matchup. Suddenly he's totally back?!

Let us not forget that other clubs will be looking at other players too, in another two months Elliot or Sinclair could be the hottest young player in football, we wouldn’t want to lose them, and who's to say we aren't looking at players from other clubs to boost our stocks in the next few years? I wouldn't mind picking up young Patton from GWS, or even better young Jeremy Cameron who is going to be an absolute gun.

I just hope Collingwood don't make the kind of clusterf*ck we made last year which cost us Leon Davis. Certainly we have the upper hand in any negotiations right now, but that might make us try to bully player managers as we've done in the past.

Don't screw the fans over Collingwood, you still need us!

Beams and Harry O wont sign till the end of the season

All the clauses they put in contracts these days, there Managers will be weighing up back ended contracts.

E.g 275 over 2, and 450 in the 3rd = $1,000,000

Who knows how much Dids and Johnno are actually taking out of 2013's Salary Cap. They might have front ended contracts.

So when reporters/journo's try and talk about knowing how much is left in a Clubs Salary cap.....its pure BULLSHIT.

Taz, Johnno gone end of this year def in my view, whether they want to be or not. just not enough game time to warrant holding back younger guys.

Dids maybe falls into that category as well, but has played more footy and is a bit better player when heis good to go.

jols would go to veterens list and then u still can pick up maxy or someone like that as well in the vets list.

wood prolly gone, or if he isnt then jols will be, hard to see how we keep four ruckmen on thelist next year. that will actualy free up some cash, esp since dids and jonno will be back ended.

[On the March]

Yes Taz and Johno will go.

Jolly cant go on vets list but Dids and Maxwell can

So it's true. Collingwood IS struggling to get all of our stars re-signed under the slary cap! But wait. I thought we had enough "coin" left to go after Josh Drummond, Jed Adcock and other free agents...

Surely this must signal the death of "can we please recruit (insert name hear)" threads...

Harry would be the first one I'd look to let go.

He has a long way to go to make me forget his shitness through thought the year, one or two good games aren't gonna do it.
One hot day doesn't make a summer.

The bad thing is.. winning the flag could actually give Beams and Cloke more reason to leave. A high level of success already achieved.

[Brenny]

Geelong set a benchmark for high level of success.

Swan is the only one who can safely say he has tasted a high level of success.

We have achieved success, by getting the ultimate prize. Now we need more.
