Something I wish I hadn’t see

 

[BRL121]

Why hasn't anyone fired up the PlayStation yet?

Pick 25 and F3 to GWS for Peatling and 38.

F2 to Melbourne for ANB.

38, 42 and 60 to GCS for 26 and 74 (which we don't use).

Take 26 to the draft.

Cumming, ANB, Peatling, Pick 4, Pick 26 and Welsh.

Throw in some other off field improvements, and it's a great offseason.

How are you going to pay for Welsh, especially if someone tries to screw us?

 

[FR0GGY]

Bloody hell

 

[PeterSalt]

The other thing is cash …. North could back end a huge deal

If they land a couple more decent trades they could play finals from 2026 onwards ( likely 2027)

I get that .. but north seems to have a bare cupboard when it comes to kpp players apart from Larkey

 

[Mostyn]

We can use points from next year, if we need.

He seems unlikely to go in the first 40 picks, so that might even make sense. No point moving things around to get lots of points in this year's draft and then not needing them.

Also, if he goes too early - then I guess he goes. We shouldn't pay more than we think he's worth.

That would diminish our first next year.

Jenny vs Wayne is the endgame clash of the titans Bigfooty has been building to for 20 seasons now.

Surely you don’t want to use points for next year if we still have our F1

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I reported Drugs Are Bad Mackay? for being a Collingwood supporter.

Fortunately those reports come to me

 

[CromradeCromulent]

2 happy clappers holding hands. You're pro nicks so your opinion is irrelevant to most here.

Poor Ada Wong being forced to be associated with you...

 

[MarcusP2]

true , but I don't they would win again anyway. Finally got there and now the hunger will be gone.

edit: what's kind of funny is that Joe's kids will qualify as father/sons for essendon but not brisbane

They'll Get them in the Brisbane academy Blakey style.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I lol’d

 

[WaynesWorld19]

If true, COLL is chasing #12 .....it seems they also have an interest in Houston

Do we assume now, both our 2nd round picks are gone for 2024 & 2025 .....or do you think we'll try and hold #25 and use the F1 & F2 next year, with a pick coming back .....in other words almost trade out of next years Draft ?

If we trade our F1 pick, we can't also trade our F2 (or F3) pick.

 

[FR0GGY]

If we trade our F1 pick, we can't also trade our F2 (or F3) pick.

I say trade F2 to Melbourne first then say to GWS, we only have 25 to use, (use the Geelong play book)

 

[Syd Crow]

How are you going to pay for Welsh, especially if someone tries to screw us?

cough Sydney cough

 

[WaynesWorld19]

If we trade our F1 pick, we can't also trade our F2 (or F3) pick.

We'd have to get a pick 2 back then as part of trade scenarios .....but hold #25 this year ....I'm sure there's a way

 

[Crow till I die]

WW is becoming a big pain in the arse

Its just a mixed bag littered with bad takes in amongst some good ones with him

 

[pjcrows]

Dew has knocked back Port to stay at Lions, replacing Davis.

 

[FR0GGY]

Ouch

 

[Tex Danger]

Dew has knocked back Port to stay at Lions, replacing Davis.

So we indirectly screwed port. Nice

 

[Crow-eater]

 

[1970crow]

it was Reids biggest stuff up. Sloane had shown he couldnt handle the tag BEFORE the contract was handed out. I think there would have been pressure not to lose more interstate talent after Danger, Lever, CC, MM etc all left within short amt of time and Rory leveraged this

You genuinely reckon Reid was solely responsible for that call? You do realise that these decisions are made at a committee level and also subject to overule by the board. Reid just executes the will of the majority. Roo, Pyke, Burton, Fagan and Reid were the key votes on list management when Sloane was extended. Isolating Reid as a sole arbiter is a simplistic take.
