Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board

Channel Eddie reports the Stenglein is wanting out and hoping to end up at either WCE or Freo....Josh Carr should join him in about a month..making a spot for Leon less of an option as either of those two blokes would be chased ahead of him.

Leon wants to stay a Pie and is very loyal to the club as the club stood by him and his family in his time of need last year and this year.

Magic to wrok hard on endurance over the break and will be a very damaging midfielder in 2005.

We only saw glimpses of what he can do in 2004.

I don't thinkl Leon will go. He will progress to the midfield early next season, and as sq3 said, he needs to work on his fitnes. That will come with another pre-season. We must keep him, as we have invested a lot in him. He has the potential to star, and has said he wants to become a Collingwood midfielder. Why trade him for a guy like Wirrapunda who will never improve and we already have players of the similar ilk? We need to keep him, as we all know what he can do. If Malthouse didn't see anything in him, he would have gone a while ago.

Stenglin is a talented player, so maybe Beau Waters may head back to Adelaide sooner then expected.

The weagles have come out punching telling all and sundry to keep their respective mits of Waters and or Butler. Makes it interesting cos my tip is that to get Stenglein home a few clubs may need to be involved.
Again given our lack of trading in recent trading periods we cant discount anything and should aim to get involved.

Waters is the one that the Crows want and thats come from someone within the club, in fact, you may find he got votes in the Rising Star voting yesterday, about four of them to be honest.

I don't think the Eagles will come to the party on that, I really can't see them trading someone of great prospect for Tyson, although the bloke is a very talented footballer. Look for them, being the Crows, to look at someone else, possibly a key position player like Seaby.

How old is stenglein?

No older than 25. I think he's turining 25 this year.

He used to be alright, didn't see much of him this year. I can't remember him starring against us at telstra. He always tags Buckley, do we really need him?

he wont come to us... Hes only leaving adelaide if he goes back home toWA... Collingwood is only a 3 way option to get him there.
He wont be playing for us next year, or else hed stay in adelaide.

3 way possibility to get Stenglein to WA and Massie to the Pies with Lokan to Crows and draft picks from WA,

Massie? Why?

We don't really need Massie. he is handy at best, but probably won't even make our starting line up. Stenglin will star with so many other great players at WCE.

Why Massie ?

1. Faster than OB,
2. Better disposal on both sides of the body,
3. Younger,
4. Tougher.

He gets the ball a lot and will be better in our midfield than OB - and I forgot to mention - can kick goals.

Would make us better.

Allows OB to be traded to Bombers (directly or indirectly) as Misiti and Mercuri are gone.

What about:
-dids to the crows (I know, I know)
- stenglein to the weagles
- our first round draft pick to the weagles
- leon to the weagles (again, I know)
- judd to us?

Nearly worth it.
