Callum Coleman-Jones traded to Norf [Official]

[Andyy]

Last time I looked there’s a few clubs who need a ruck/forward - not just the Roos.
And, as the laws of supply and demand dictate, lack of supply will drive the price up

Empty comments. Unless another club convinces CCJ it's worth his time to look elsewhere then we are stuffed.

Honestly though you would think there are other clubs keen. Dons, Dogs, Cats, GC, GWS. All of them should be asking the question.

I hear the new noise about GC but for now he has told the club he wants North and nobody else to my knowledge has made him an offer that he likes.

Where still in September mate. It’s 3 weeks away from even getting warmed up….

Lol, I trying to working out why CCJ would have this great loyalty to the North Melbourne? Wouldn’t he want the best deal , the one that gets the best dollars, longest term, regular ruck spot and a chance to play finals. Like someone said there are a lot of clubs looking for ruckman and the trade 😱negotiations don’t start for weeks😱

Yes and for that reason he is loyal to north Melbourne. His agent didn’t only just start taking calls a couple weeks ago, they would have sounded out other clubs offers long ago and NM are giving him the best deal length and money wise.

And if another club gives a better offer?

Are you suggesting other clubs aren't asking the question until the trade period starts? You'd be a terrible list manager haha. You've clearly not paid any attention to the last 20 odd pages.

CCJ has said he either wants to stay in Melb or move back to SA. No SA club has made him an offer I believe.

North offering 4 years at around $450,000, which is already ludicrous, with ruck duties looming after Goldy retirement. Even the 401k fund GCS would be reluctant to offer that sort of money but they would have to above North to get his interest since he has basically ruled out a move to QLD or NSW.

[camboon]

Some people only read the articles that support their argument and not other articles and quotes from the club that say the opposite  . To suggest that things can’t change and that a negotiation will turn out the way the media or how we think it will is interesting.
I’m suggesting other clubs will keep asking and that you are guessing how it will turn out.

The club are not saying that they will surrender and take the lowest offer but maybe we know better than the club.

[Andyy]

I've made my opinion on it very clear.

Unless another VIC or SA club has a real go, or a NSW/QLD club makes a huge offer, we are over a barrel if we have to deal with North.

We will screw them in the future they know that.

Opinions are like AH’s , end of the day everyone has one and they are not facts.
No reason  we can’t do a deal ( picks /players) with another club if all are agreeable.
If it’s only pick 38 (40+)let him walk to the PSD , and target in on their kids / better players.

These guys are halfwits.  If norf elect to take him in the Preseason draft he can't train with them until the start of December.  For a new player trying to fit in and learn the game plan its not going to work.  The coach will insist he is there on Day 1.

When your only suitor is the bottom side then it doesn't say much for you ...     
If we can trade him to another side for anything, then we should take it & run!

Doubt they care if he comes a few weeks early or late. It's a 4 year deal on offer.

If the player is agreeable to said trade.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this takes a few twists and turns before the dust settles

While I understand that N0rt can get him for free in the PSD

I'd still be sitting back and making this drag on to the last hour of the trade period....

Facilitating an early trade to appease this young bloke and his manager shouldn't be our priority... CCJ can wait, N0rt can wait and his manager can certainly wait
