1. PIES DOING DOCKERS, HAWKS A FAVOUR​

as its second top five pick in 2005 when it gained a priority pick after a spate of late-season surgeries is this time benefiting other clubs.

Fremantle has the Pies first-rounder (the Lachie Schultz trade) and Hawthorn has Collingwood’s second-rounder (the Jack Ginnivan trade).

A win and a Freo loss would have put that selection at pick 10.
f Melbourne beats the Pies on Friday night and Essendon upsets Brisbane, Collingwood’s selection goes from the current No.9 pick to the No.7 overall pick.

That potential No.7 selection could be crucial for Fremantle in its dealings with Richmond on Shai Bolton

Because even if it shuffles back a couple of spots through a father-son bid on Brisbane’s Levi Ashcroft and an early bid on Gold Coast’s Leo Lombard, it will still fall in the top 10.

Hawthorn can make finals and even conjure a deep run and having swapped second-rounders with the Pies, they could effectively get Jack Ginnivan for free given the trade was set up on the likelihood Collingwood would finish top four and the Hawks bottom 10.

6. HAWKS’ DAYLIGHT ROBBERY NEARLY COMPLETE​

Collingwood’s first selection in this draft is currently at pick 32, given it holds Hawthorn’s second-round pick after the Jack Ginnivan trade.

Consider the possible bids to come on players before then – Levi Ashcroft, Lombard, Kako, Sam Marshall, maybe Ben Camporeale, maybe FA compensation for Battle.

If the Hawks make a deep finals run, a Collingwood side which desperately needs to secure elite young talent might be making its first bid at pick 40.

It’s why you could see them trading next year’s first-rounder into this draft, given the desperation to get into a quality draft with the key position players the Pies need.

We all knew this position - when the trade was made last yeah I was convinced we had already been in deep discussions to secure a big name this year.

The worst part of it all, it Schutlz will be a FA in 4 weeks time!

We bet on us being as good as last year and hawks bottom 4. We couldn't have been more wrong.
But many of us knew at the time the trades were poor.
Makes it look worse now that we know how deep this draft is. We'll try to do something to get back into it.

 

[Jafo]

Last game for Baggers before he requests trade to Collingwood?

 

[OccamsRazorRay]

He wanted to go home when he was with us, now the Crows. I'd hate to see us pay overs for him only for him to walk out again. Seems he's always got his luggage packed, don't bring it over here again.
I'm happy to be proved wrong and he plugs our defensive sieve and becomes a premiership player, but it's a very hard pass for me.

The speculation literally came from a Port Supporter calling into 5AA in Adelaide.....

' My recovery is going well and I am looking forward to a big preseason with the boys. Go pies'

 

[unplugged]

Can imagine how this is going to go, can't we?

No doubt he'll say he loves the Melbourne Football Club but he just needed time away from the club to get his mental health right, etc. And talk about how he has started running, heart rate can't go over 110, etc.

And because it'll be a pre-recorded interview with terms, they won't ask him directly if he'll be there next year. So he won't have to lie and say "yes" because he'll be at the Pies

Hope he wears his Collingwood scarf & Pendles badge.

Agree its worth thinking about. We have chronically lacked goalkickers for more than a decade now and have got by by other means but more firepower is needed.

Apart from Miho in 2023 you have to go back to 2013 , T Cloke, to find a Collingwood player who kicked more than 39 in a H&A season.

GC, Ginni kicked 40 goals in 2022 and should have had more if even half the frees he was entitled to were awarded. And WHE kicked 42 in 2018.

But I get thats not the point you’re making, where you are referring to tall (or taller) forwards.

Just getting in before GC to rob him of the joy of catching you out in his evil trap. Ginni and WHE kicked 36 & 39 goals respectively in those H&A seasons.

 

[barrackers]

There was speculation that Keane walked out on the Crows?

That quote wouldn’t have been out of place with those we in 2021

Are you sure? AFL tables have 40 and 42 goals respectively, for Ginni in ‘22 and Hosk in ‘18.

Drinking before lunchtime is ok by me. But some disapprove. Next time be less obvious.

Guessing referring to H&A - not including finals.

I think everyone quickly forgets what Covid was like. Particularly around international borders.

People literally had no idea whether they would be able to travel again. Months… Years… it was complete pandemonium when the borders began shutting.

I don’t blame Keane one iota for wanting to get home to his loved ones around that time.

My secret is to lock my home office door and wait until 2pm before i post usually.

Oops

 

[partypie]

No he's not, he was tried there earlier this year and was hopeless in the role and switched back to a forward, it's just the truth.

Played the role in 2020 and even though he was up on a wing for a fair bit of the 2021 season there were still many games where he spent a lot of time rebounding the ball out from the Suns defensive 50, so there's no reason why he can't do it in the right defensive setup.

One approach is to always be drinking. Then people just think you are stupid.

Don’t like either of you anymore. I might even resort to the ignore option.

Pedants!

Thank you Gen

Thank you Gen

I pulled you out of the trap before GC could get to you. You should be thanking me.

 

[partypie]

Could this be a big setup where he strolls out onto the stage LeBron-style and says "This spring I will be taking my talents to ... the AIA Vitality Centre and joining the Collingwood Football Club"???

Thank you Gen

Don't blame me - I don't know why GC doesn't count it when our players kick goals in finals. I tend to think of it is a good thing.

 

[Vicky Park]

Hmm

Can’t quite come at that, but I guess I owe GC an apology, as it looks like he was ri
