During the season we were absolutely smashed by the Eagles
Yep it was our low point during the year. Not helped by Pendles withdrawing at the start and only having Atu as an option. Great effort to turn it around and beat them in a final.

I agree that we may drop next year. Our depth has taken a hit and god knows what the psychological impact of this trade period will be.Those who think we are headed for a slide might well be correct. We definitely have lost some key best 22 players and got nothing for them. It’s possible if rumours are true that in 2021 we will be paying Treloar Stephenson Phillips Beams and Langdon to not play for us!!!!
But like you I think there is hope. The core list is strong and will be better with Sidebottom and Howe in the side along with JDG and Cox getting a cleaner run with injury, and Grundy returning to his best form. Plus the next generation stepping up, led by Sier Rantall the Browns Kelly and Keane etc, and maybe some long overdue immediate impact from first year draftees.

We're going to need some of our youth to step up and play a role, but considering how ordinary our role players were in 2020, with the exception of Noble and Madgen, the kids won't have to step up too far to match 2020. And I do expect an improved season from our top group. So I think it's more likely we maintain rather than plummeting.
I never thought we were paying for him at north. I thought it was widely reported North was paying it all, hence the crap picks we got for him.The rumour about us paying for Stepho at North is wrong, they are paying the full amount of his contract.

If we maintain whilst getting games into some guys who kick on, it'll be a good season.So aimlessly mid table, like years 14 - 17. Seems we're headed there again for a sustained period when you look at the oppositions improvement.
In the meantime the guys in the thread title may improve even more so and may attract opposition interest. They may be tempted, after all the end game for players is flags - so they may get a shot at that but not at Collingwood.
Also in that time the club has wasted the careers of Pendles, Sides and Howe etc. Pretty sh*tty outlook if you ask me.

No KPF drafted since Buddy would justify the trade cost. Seems a long shot that the second highest rated KPF this year will end up justifying that cost. You'd only consider it if you didn't value pick 14 and 16 due to the unknowns in this upcoming draft.Changed my view on what we should do with our picks: if the club think McDonald is the next big thing and he’s still on the board at 2 then trade all our picks for him

True - but the Tigers should have taken Buddy at 1 / Melb should have taken Dusty at 1 etcIf hes that good then the Crows shoudl take him with pick one.

I understand the points that both you and sr36 are making, and I usually agree with you, but I'm done, it's time.
Time to draft a side-changing KPF and start building around him
I'd be excited if we traded up and got McDonald, but it'd be a bit of a mug punters call when you consider that Cameron and maybe Tom Lynch are probably the only two KPFs recruited in the last 15 years who would have justified the price we'd have to pay. Daniher would have got there without injuries. Maybe the King brothers will get there, but it's still pretty slim pickings, especially as every year it becomes harder and harder to be a dominant KPF.StKilda took McCartin and GWS took Patton at 1.
I reckon its crazy to give away three picks to get only one back. All the eggs in one basket.
If the trade is even do-able.

Funny you mention Daniher. Hes a father-son so not really in the picture. If only we had a father-son key position player as good as Daniher. Hang on.............................................
We had one far better and got rid of him
Could stick w our picks and land a Grundy/Ben Kennedy/ BroomyPLAYERCARDSTARTBen Kennedy

Agree but we could go back and forward all dayEFA.
Keep your picks and you increase the chances of getting at least one success.
Trade all your picks away and all your eggs are left in the one basket. Much higher risk for arguable reward.
