Have a general question. Given the influx of vfl sides, what is the view that clubs have the right to match a bid on their vfl playersThey'll all request trades imo, maybe bar Noble.
It’d be a great innovation that would ultimately strengthen vfl lists as a legitimate development path.Have a general question. Given the influx of vfl sides, what is the view that clubs have the right to match a bid on their vfl players
The VFL needs an overhaul, a bye every 3rd week is stupid.It’d be a great innovation that would ultimately strengthen vfl lists as a legitimate development path.
I’m sure there’ll be an interstate team that says it’s unfair
Man, what? Why do we have to get younger? We need to get better.Interesting that Lukosius has been dropped by the Suns
I would rather back these 2 in than a 32 year old Haynes who was finished 3 years ago
Our list needs to get younger and not older
Why would we trade blokes like Noble?
Pies have absolutely no kids coming through the best one was Harrison who has just done an ACL.
Club will run it back with this list for one more year and assume injuries were the reason for the huge drop off.
We have been into Fiorini for 5 years now.Looking at this weeks omissions
Fiorini should be easy and cheap to acquire as he almost made it to the club previously. Can play inside or outside… an upgrade on some of our rookies…so worth securing imo. I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t in Collingwood colours next year
Aaron Francis is the other one. OOC this year… 27 years old… would be cheap, experienced ready made mid sized defender… lacking a bit of depth in that department with TJ very young, Ryan ?
No 2 draft pick. 24 today. Any reason you think he may be released for a third round pick ????
Why isn’t Long a longtermer given his performance last night?Somebody like Fiorini who might be let go for very little must be a target. The D-grade midfielder experiment must end. Throwing many darts won't always land a hit. Bytel, Sullivan and Long (credit for his game tonight) are not long-termers in AFL footy. I'm not Fiorini's hugest fan but he is just a significant upgrade on those options.
I think our veterans continue to hold up their end of the bargain to be truthful. Most of them are playing so a similar level they did in '23. The reasons we've dropped are our prime-aged players have dropped off and our bottom end - mostly comprising of bullish cheap pick-ups - simply being plodders.
Yuk.Thinking about the last quarter last night and last week...
A fit Clayton Oliver would be pretty handy... but gee it'd take some balls to take that lengthy contract on. You'd have to add a few clauses in I would've thought.
Yuk.
I'm sure Ginni took it all with him.I know. But we might have a surplus of ket now that Ginnivan has gone, so we could probably fit him in.
Injuries aside we are not losing Elliot, Mihoceck, Crisp, WHE, Mitchell - who’ll still be younger than Sidey is now.“Right back in the top 4 mix next season”? Really?
I think we’ll be in the mix for the bottom four. Our old players will be even further in decline yet will still get games because we have the worst set of U25’s in the entire competition. And we have no draft picks or trade-worthy players to do anything about it.
By 2026-27, we’re going to have lost most/all of Pendles, Sidebottom, Mitchell, Elliott, Mihochek, Howe, Cox, McStay, Crisp and Hoskin-Elliott. I expect we’ll claim the wooden spoon in one/both of those seasons and, frankly, we probably need to, in order to get in the top end talent to contend again. I just hope we bottom out before Tassie comes into the comp.
As time passes, we’re all going to look back fondly on our 2023 Premiership and realise it was a bloody miracle that just about everything went right with a list that already had serious flaws in it.

I would add other possible trades/ delistings such as Kreuger, McInnes, Ryan, Macrae. All worth next to nothingNoble, Lipinski, Quaynor (Contracted), Johnson, Cox ( more likely retirement), maybe all possibilities to be on the trade table?
No and no. If they aren’t good enough for to make those teams I’d rather play our kids.Looking at this weeks omissions
