Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board

Has been reported in SA that he isnt happy at Crowland and may look to leave the club.

28 years old (Born on Anzac Day), but is signed on, which means a trade would need to be made.

Let's say he wants to play for Collingwood.

A. Do we want him?

B. Can we afford him? (he'd be a lot cheaper than Lynch).

C. What would we need to give up?

Obviously Lynch is 3 years younger and, well, a better player. But if we cant get him to sign, is Walker a good and realistic option?

Seems implausible (that he might want to leave).
[Seems plausible he might be unhappy.]

They would want Scharenberg or Grundy as a minimum. Though maybe Broomhead and a first round pick. But I doubt he wants out.

I would prefer Lynch if I had the choice.

I don't rate him. Plays well when the team is going well, goes missing when the hard stuff needs to be done.

There's a reason players are chosen to captain AFL teams. If Taylor Walker wants to leave Adelaide I'd welcome him in a heartbeat. Adelaide is closer to Broken Hill than Melbourne though.

Pass

He does seem to have bought too much into the cult stuff (see psychobabble thread), which is one reason I can't see him wanting out.

^ On field kicking: yes, and Buddy is another one.

Most overrated player in the comp, because of his poor record on the big stage. Also, it seems he lost the confidence of his teammates after he toed the company line and embraced the psycho-babble consultants' training regime in the off season.

There is a term for blokes like him

Dumb as dog sh:#_~t

No thanks. I reckon this rumour is full of shit just quietly

The only thread of truth to the rumour is that Matt Randall recruited him to Adelaide FC so maybe Matt is trying to orchestrate his movement to Collingwood.
