Autopsy Collingwood Past Trades Circular Discussion

[gerryg400]

Why is it that Collingwood never seem to win a trade deal? Schultz, Henry, Stephenson, Treloar, Grundy, Beams (trade back) to name a few......

The last was Pick 5, 25 and Crisp for Dayne Beams but that was cancelled out a few years later when Beams returned for 2 first rounders.

I couldn’t care less if we never win a trade deal. Flags are the goal.

I responded on the MB to a post about our “diabolical” trade of our 2021 1st rounder.
The Saints supporter didn’t reply and they all seem to have gone quiet for some reason…

Callaghan - GWS pick 3.
Daicos - Collingwood pick 4.
We traded it out to bring in youth a year earlier, knowing it would’ve been eaten by ND points.
If either of those 2 players had kicked on it or we didn’t crash on the ladder it’s a non issue.
More context, it was the same year we dumped players to fix our salary cap.
Quite remarkable we won a flag 3 years later
