Its hats off to them for having a proper crack throughout the draft period.

I still think they dont have enough to challenge in 2025, and not making the hard calls on players they needed to finish up last year.

7th to 13th i think they finish.
 
So you can't explain your statement?

Thought as much.

But in the world of Arr0w, we certainly won't be in the same postcode as any of the teams that contend in 2025, given we've only won 3 flags in 60 odd years....

Oh boy.
The Arrow troll still clogging up threads with his 1970s crap?

Oh my.
 
With all their acquisitions I think they’ll be right up the pointy end again next year, and that once a whole lot of guys retire at the end of that season, it will free up a lot of cap space to go shopping, and because they’re a big club, who will have probably finished high, one or two big fish will choose them, and that will balance out the guys they lost to retirement.

They’ll be just like Geelong.
 
Why?

Are there any players that we delisted that should have been retained ahead of them?

Thats not the point at all is it.

You could have delisted them and opened up more list spots, or brought in better options as Delisted Free agents if you want to top up.

Cox will barely feature at AFL level with Membrey, Mcstay and Mihocek in the team. Howe i think is past it. Played some solid footy throughout 2024 but is very replaceable.

Not sure we want to be using McStay too much as a chop out ruck coming off a knee injury. Who's Collingwood's second/back up ruck if we delisted Cox?

Absolutely Howe played some great footy in 2024. Why would you delist a player who is clearly in your best 22?

Frampton played 18 games this year.

You have to make hard calls. Howe is very replaceable. They havent done that and i think it negatively impacts the pies in 2025.
 
Howe and Cox
Howe is a very bad call. Played outstanding footy in defence some weeks and chopped out when we were struggling forward. Cox would get a gig on every list in the comp as a depth ruck. Both very deserving of contracts for 2025.
