List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

[sr36]

I agree, it was already meant to be a slow trade period, and so they are trying to space it out for the final feww days lol

It's just the way negotiations go.

The win win negotiators knock them over quickly in the first few days. Whereas guys like Mackie and Dodoro take them to the brink as they try to win every deal.

So your good mate?
JG: Yeah
All good thanks

 

[TakingThePies]

Picks or player?

Key Defender.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hopefully, we get the Schultz trade done tomorrow.

Would not get my Hope's too high for that

And Bell

Heard a whisper that Ginni is having those growing pains. Seeking a trade to that High Street place he's had his eye on for a while. Wants the club to get moving.

Did he buy a shitty red Holden Kingswood too?

 

[Exambolor]

Key Defender.

Well that’s good, wonder which defender it is though.

 

[Fat Jesus]

It's already a problem for Ed Allan

Edward has been shown massive disrespect with his surname on this forum.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Well that’s good, wonder which defender it is though.

Don't encourage him Exambolor

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Who is this Stephens people keep mentioning?

People can't spell Shoolz correctly.

 

[mullpig88]

Can already see the miss spelling of Schultz’s name, is going to be a problem

You mean just like how we’re constantly questioning whether we are talking about the coach or the young fella who racks the pill in the VFL?

it’s a forest vs tree’s scenario, the objective should be to improve the list not win the trade on paper, it’s how dodoro ends up missing out on bobby hill, bravo Adrian you won trade week, we won the flag because of him, at least he didn’t overpay I guess.

It doesn't need to be, don't be surprised to see these deals cross over into next week just to give trade radio something to talk about...

 

[Jen2310]

Unfortunately. If I was running it, I'd have it as a three day event. First day, free agency, next two are trade. Not long after have a draft. This would turn it into a mega, televisable event and be over and done with in a timely fashion. Never happening as they'd fall out of the news cycle but there comes a point where mind numbing chit chat isn't worth it.

10 days is way too long. No reason it needs to be more than 7 days at most.

One hour maximum. Hahaha

These pricks have done the trades in advance days and weeks earlier.
Theatre for us.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I have heard a rumour from a semi-connected Hawks supporter that Ginni had a medical at Hawthorn today

Lol. I wonder how he managed that from Bali.

and traffic for hutchys' trade radio lol

Didn't you get the memo, through Zoom. Heh

That works for me.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I would.

 

[Mick F]

The Doggies will be overloaded with talls with Croft coming in.
I hope we can shake one loose.

With pick 38?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He went as Damien Oliver.

Close, but Craig Williams. Oliver is a much better jockey, but has been involved in betting scandals.

If it wasn't for trade radio and the dinosaur mastheads 10 days of behind closed doors negotiations followed by press releases for completed trades would be fine.

It's not the length of the FA / trade period that's the issue really, it's the way they've turned it all into a bit of a circus in an effort to keep AFL relevant in the news and the socials for a couple more weeks after the GF is done and dusted.
