[Jeremias]

For anyone who missed the prior warning:

Take the Carlton v Collingwood shit fight elsewhere.

Infractions will be handed out.

I don't think Houston, Perryman and even Schultz have cost us anything in the short term and very little in the long term.
They are 3 good to elite players in the 25-27 age bracket that cost us #10, #36 last years #34, next years F1st, J Noble and J Richards.

Statistically those 4 picks would usually add up to 2 solid players and 2 list cloggers.
You could even argue that our F1st had a very good chance to be completely eaten by T McGuane.

So I would say we exchanged
Houston, Schultz, Perryman and McGuane

For

Noble, Richards, Good player 1 (200 games), Good player 2 (150 games) and 2 list cloggers (0-70 games). There's obviously speculation on these picks but in those sort of draft ranges it's a real 50/50 chance of drafting a viable long term player.

I see Collingwood coming out ahead over the next 1 to 5 years by doing the trades and with a lot of older players on our list, it was the right call even though there is a good chance of no premierships over the next 10 years because of it.

Long term I don't see us doing to much better even if we kept the picks. Our young players in the age range of 21 and under are very speculative at best. I see us continuing to target free agents and trade targets more than draft picks. It is a strategy that has kept us top 4 very often over the last 25 years.

Forgot that Ginnavin left when Schultz was traded in.

Oh no

 

[Nvent]

Oh no

Rather Ginnivan.

Not really.

All clubs make mistakes. If Collingwood win a flag in 2025,2026 getting Schultz might be worth it. But probably a mistake.

 

[Anzacday]

Forgot that Ginnavin left was happily let go when Schultz was traded in.

Fixed

 

[TradeDraft]

Only reason North were ever mentioned was because they offered way more $ than the others. He never wanted to go there

and had the Better Trade in Value

Based on what? Supporters that think he needed to kick 70 goals to be a success?

 

[Pistol Night]

Rather Ginnivan.

Meh we've won a flag with Jack. It Lachie's turn

Then agreed to it 24 Hours Later

Was not the best Look for Port

 

[TradeDraft]

What else does Collingwood have to sweeten the deal for Port?

Schultz?

I would be okay with that

 

[beerbandit]

Houston is a fantastic acquisition for Collingwood.

Add Perryman and Membrey, along with a little luck on the injury front the Pies are looking ominous in 2025.

 

[TradeDraft]

Maybe. Collingwood also just don’t have the capital to do the deal.

Looking Back we actually did

 

[TradeDraft]

Players rarely not get to the club they want despite being contracted. Houston got pissed off Port Power chased Perryman 6 years at $850K.

Then he joined the Same Club Perryman went too

He's a band-aid on an amputation. Hopefully for you, you're right, can't see you guys making finals in 2025-2031. Just too many noses in the rebuild trough.

Can’t believe a club has ponied up over 900k for Perryman.
