List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

So what you’re saying is Fat Jesus is laconic from Sparta.

Funnily enough, my ancestors were all Spartan.

They’d be taking a gamble and Melbournes offer for 13 has a second rounder attached to it too.
If I was a gambling man I’d be putting money on Melbourne to either stay around the mark they are or fall further given the absolute shit show their club is right now, and Norf to start rising up the ladder. Any club who’s list manager has any common sense would take Melbournes F1 and pick 28 over Norfs F1 alone imo.

Is this for GC's pick 13?

No Essendons pick 9. If I was Essendons list manager and I had Norf offering their future first I’d be getting on the phone to Melbourne because their F1 and 28 is a better deal imo.

I think you're underestimating the Dees.

I think you're underestimating the Dees.

Their two best mids don’t want to be at the club and their FD is a shambles. It’s bad enough that Houston decided against going there after it was almost assumed he’d be there in 2025 a couple of months ago. There’s obviously no guarantee they fall but I don’t like their odds of making finals next year.

 

[HFF]

Lol if he goes to North he goes to North
So be it.
Pick 9 v 13 is neither here or there
If they’re willing to accept one pick on their own so be it.

I’m happy enough to hit the draft

Christmas and Hanukkah were quite willing

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

They would 100% trade pick 9 for Norths F1 especially as that pick 9 will be eaten by an academy bid and Norths F1 could be a top 3 pick

North will jump next year.

Absolute folly to assume they will continue to be bottom 4.

They are a fair chance to finish above bombers IMO.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

IQ is worth pick 5 in my eyes

stop it.
IQ isn’t even being considered.
So why continue to post about it?

Want them to be shit again so LDU leaves.

I wouldn't be surprised with them going either way. It's a bloody good list still if they can get Trac and Oliver back on course.

Especially in this draft. This draft’s one wood is its depth to 40 plus. Not necessarily that the top 10-15 is any better than other years

 

[Vicky Park]

Just finishing the trip home. Train all winter in 10 degrees and rain, only to have to run the marathon in 25 degrees, full sun and a strong north wind. No acclimating to that! Absolutely brutal.

EDIT: Congrats to your daughter though, I should have added.

Thanks, and to you to. Huge effort

 

[Horaceg]

Allan for pick 9 would be very tempting

I think in hindsight this would be one of those big mistakes, just my opinion and I’ve been wrong before.

 

[Go Woods]

Roos hunt Dons’ top pick so they can pounce on Port’s Houston

North Melbourne have, so far, been on the fringes of the Dan Houston trade talks, but that might change dramatically if they pull off a pick swap with the Bombers as the AFL trade period draws towards a dramatic conclusion.

Norf Mino trying to rock the boat, FO....

Pretty clear that clubs are rating 10+ higher than normal. no idea about the top end.

 

[tmpies01]

What if North pull the pin on Houston and are genuinely looking at taking 9 to the draft if they somehow get it? Of course they’d be instant favourites for him but it doesn’t mean they’ll use it on him.

Or that he'd agree to go to North.

 

[josewales]

Surely Bombers don’t give pick 9 to North? Surely??!

Bombers have been quiet and trying to clean out the deadwood . I reckon they want to stock up for next year and have a real crack at Harley.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Yeah he’s the least likely of FA IMO.
They’ll improve.
At the very worst they’ll be in games to the death.
which will be enough for him to stay.

Harley is a non event until FA.
Would legit wipe any club out for 2-3 years, such would be the cost.

With Tas coming in. Clubs will be conservative.

depth to 40 plus tells me that there is just a bigger number of speculative players than usual, that might or might not make it.
