List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion

Having too many developing small forwards at once might limit each other’s chances, but if we we are strategically going the Richmond path of having a quick team of pressure/decently skilled small guys it does make sense

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

When you project forward 4 years when kids drafted now should be beginning to really contribute, is there a position for us at the moment that isn't a need?

We do have some positions with enough players on the list in the right age bracket, but small forward isn’t one of them.

On the other hand we shouldn’t pingeonhole our current developing small forwards in the one role. I could easily see McCreary as a small defender and Ginivan as a midfielder.

Ginnivan was meant to play midfield in 2020 before covid happened, according to his coach.

Yeah but what's the likelihood that enough of those young talls and mids make it and have us sorted with what we've already got. We've got no young pacy flankers for either end either. Just should go best available.

Ginny Weasley was good through the middle. Would work well with Felix Flockhart.

I see Cal Twomey's phantom draft has Daicos going at 4 - we can only hope.......

seems most likely with Nick confirming
1. He has not 1 interview with GWS
2. Seems like they have been told GWS arent bidding.

If it happens that way, it opens up a range of possibilities for this year's draft & 2022 as well. Bring it on!

Yep - now Wright and Hine get to work their live trading magic

I was merely responding to a post that implied we already had too many small forwards.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Any chance, instead of trading back into the second round this year, that we live trade to stockpile more 2022 picks in the hope that we can do a swap with the Lions next off season; when they are likely to want to trade out their future first for more points? Could end up with 2 x 2022 first rounders.

 

[Pie eyed]

I think its not a terrible outcome for both parties.

Its time we moved on from this Greenwood thing. Its done.

Not the least because it does not involve Collingwood in the least and never for the most fleeting of an instant evrr did.

Yeah, got a lot more discussion around it here than it should have lol

 

[Prochard123]

After the Darcy bid, our first 3 picks will likely be 35, 37, 39 (pick 23 to Geelong for 32, 34 and both get used on Darcy which moves our picks forward by 1).

I wonder if we can package all 3 together for a strong pick, while bringing in 3x picks in the 60s (all of which would be brought forward significantly from all the bdis) and still have enough points for Daicos.

35 + 39 to Melbourne for future 2nd + 45 + 53 (due to the Darcy bid)

37 + future 3rd (Hawthorn) to Essendon for future 2nd + 52

We gain 2x future 2nds (Essendon & Melbourne) while still being able to match the Daicos bid. Thoughts?

2x future 2nds can then be used to bring in an early 2nd to select an early draft slider.

Who says no?

And if Jordy and Moore leave we could more.

 

[loki04]

Look at statistics about the average stay of 3 years. McMahon and Chugg are my picks for being delisted. But 6 players lasting 4-5 years ... unlikely.

McMahon was picked up as a long term project they will need 4 years before knowing what they have with him.

Don't count your chickens yet, there is no guarantee that Daicos won't go at 1 or 2. GWS are apparently going for a KF in Darcy as a list need because they are stacked with midfielders only to end up with Callahan who is a midfielder? Norf will bid on Daicos because you never give your opposition a sporting chance

While not giving your opposition a leg up sounds good in theory it’s not real. If we lose and advantage other teams pick up the benefit. Doesn’t leave NM in a better position. All it does is create an issue. By and large I think clubs draft for their own benefit not to knock other clubs cause it doesn’t work

no key forward gets cut within 3 years. The saying goes a tall has 5 years to show you they can play and a small has 5 games to show you that they can’t.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’d be hoping if we could come to some deal with the Suns not to bid with pick 4 in exchange for some of our 40 picks.

Would a bid at pick 5 make a big difference?
