Yeah just keep your head in the sand, that's the way.Funny how battlers only bring this up immediately after a loss. Thanks for the advice Tiger.

How the **** did we win the flag?We are just very poor at trading, we trade out qaulity players for peanuts. We then trade in b grade players and pay overs. Even our drafting is poor. Cant remember our last draft success outside of father son picks or academy
There's a degree of common sense. I'm sure at the start of the year you would've said North are a few years away from a flag.
We will be contending in ‘25.Less to do with "common sense" and more to do with reading a trend whilst being very selective about the data.
Footy isn't predictable like that. We might be crap for the next 10 years or we might be contending in '26.
28 isn't relatively young
Eww I don’t wanna see McCreery anywhere near the midfieldI'd like us to be bold in 2025
McCreery always as a mid
Reef always as a mid
(and make him shadow the hardest working / fittest player at the club over the entire off season)
Ryan always as a mid/wing
Collingwood is never uncompetitive for long periods of time.27-28 is when most players peak.
Would you be happy with 26? 24? It's an arbitrary figure.
Take Pendles, Sidey, & Howe out of the group and the club has money to spend on free agents.
The list can look very different in a couple of years.
There's cause for optimism.
It might be hard to do that after losing 4 games straight but I don't believe the club is in dire straits.
… and Tom McGuane
They are changing bidding system so junk picks can’t be used for first round picks, the Gold Coast debacle of last season was the last straw. They just haven’t released the details yetI was watching a review on Tom Mcguane. Looks highly rated for next years draft and was talked about having similar traits to Nick Daicos.
Maybe we trade next years first for a first this year and a bunch of picks to use for points next year (this may send supporters into meltdown talking about trading a first again)
Or we hold it until we see where we might land next year and trade it then..? Rival clubs won't pay for the pick assuming it is a lower pick, and we've bet wrong on our future ladder position both times when we've sold it.I was watching a review on Tom Mcguane.

It’s Fraser’s fault the VFL performances are trash. Not the recruiter that’s had two acceptable draft since 2007.Yes we clearly do
Dekka still doing an amazing job according to many on here though. Mind boggling he still has any fans. Some real Stockholm syndrome stuff
Odd that you would include Adams, we just traded him out last season.Very poor traders?
We traded in the following players who went on to become Premiership players for us:
- Crisp
- Howe
- Hill
- Frampton
- Cameron
- WHE
- Lipinski
- Mitchell
Add Adams and McStay if they weren’t injured for the GF.

You would have matched the Swans’ 3 year deal for him?
