I hope he does end up at collingwood, they gut their side to get him and head down hill again
Personally I STILL have this gut feeling he will end up at Collingwood
Is Clarke that good is he? Sheesh. Don;t know squat about himDamn good recruiting then!
Yeah, i know alot of people spruik Pendlebury and Thomas, but i just think that Clarke has the most potential. He is already ahead of Tahgh Kennelly at the same stage, and he will only improve with another pre-season under his belt. Talent spotters had labelled Clarke the Chris Judd of Ireland before he came to Australia. Collingwood was lucky to get him, because Brisbane had first choice on Clarke but they chose Colm Begley instead.
He owes the Hawks nothing and rightly so. He can say and do as he pleases but from past trades we know it does't always end up the way the player wants anyway. Plenty of examples of that the last decade or more.
How is it hypocritical not going to Hawthorn when he is leaving a drug culture team behind??
The drive out to Waverly sucks and the Dee's train a lot closer right in town and soon will have a state of the art facility :-D
Apparently he will be getting the surgery overseas i heard and it's nothing but a simple fix.
to me its a two leg race between Melbourne and Collingwood. He met with the Dees on Friday for 2 and half hours i think and only an hour an a half with the Blues. Melbourne had his Idol Garry Lyon at the meeting aswell as Jimmy Stynes, Bails and Conolley. Hawthorn were out of the race a while back because of the drug culture at the club, Carlton apparently he has no interest in anymore whatsoever. He wants to go to a club that has a list that could win and money will not be the deciding factor, now if you look at it like that than Melbourne would surely be the front runners and at $7 odds im tempted to throw $50 on it. He played for the Sandy Dragons which 3-Peated the VFL last year and followed Melbounre as a kid. I'd say 9 out of 10 players, playing for their club they supported as a kid and idolised if got the chance too would be a dream come true.
Im not being biased but im 90% sure he will end up at Dee-land and lead the team in a tilt to win it's first flag for 43 years.
Now what to give them,
Pick 4 will be sent along with Travis Johnstone and than what ever else i guess, Brad Miller, Chris Johnson and Brad Green are players that could be included.
It's not like Melbourne doesnt have money too, every move we have done this off-season has been genius and is steering the club in the right direction. The appointment of Bails as head coach was a good move and than getting Conolley to head our football operations was also a good move. Travis earns 600k a year i think I heard, so take him out and with a few players hanging up the boots and you most defiantly have enough money to throw at him.
You have to remember, the choice is Judd's so if he picks Melbourne than it's up to WC and the MFC to agree to a deal that will suit both parties. So High Draft Picks and Good Players dont mean squat if he doesnt want to go to a certain club.
Judd won't go to the draft. Eagles get nothing and Judd would go to a team he doesn't want to play for. They will work something out and Judd will get what he wants in the end.

Very inclined to agree mateCept we might as well chukc pick 4, Bruce, Johnstone and Miller. Can't hurt to get rid of all the dead wood in 1 go
My question there is what would the Eagles get out of those guys? Maybe use Bruce in the forward line... but the other 2 would struggle to fit into their respective possy's.
Bruce is a ultility and with West Coast full of hard nuts willing to put their head over the ball, Bruce can be the softy he is and take the kudos. Or like you said, he can go up forward.
Johnstone is a straight into the midfield where Judd was role. I love Johnno and would be sad to see him go, but as they say, gotta give something to get something and both Bruce and Johnstone do have quality.
Miller, they can use him as a big roamer at either end. I personally think we won;t trade him, and more-over tell him to do what he does beest, CHF leading at the ball.
well TJ was a #1 pick and maybe he could reach his potential in the West. Bruce still has 2 years on his contract and from all reports i dont think he is a player being mentioned to be included. Miller a QLD boy, Chris Johnson i though he would of been delisted but he might be included as he is a WA boy.
Im thinking
Pick 4, T.Johnstone, C.Johnson, Bate
I have a feeling we will have to throw in a quality young guy with the pick and i have a feeling its going to be the prawn.
