In the scheme of things. GWS loss bobby hill to us cheaply. We lost Henry. Bobby won us a flag.

Swings and roundabouts

 

[The Royal Sampler]

People are well within their rights to lament that a one of our best young talents was for all intents and purposes taken from us without adequate compensation.

You’re welcome to your opinion but this is an open forum so that means you’ll need to deal with it when others express theirs rather than just telling them to shut up.

Shut up.

 

[sam_e]

Shut up.

you shut up

ps: and stop telling the other guy to shut up

 

[Kirby]

 

[Apex36]

Shut up.

I thought we were friends

 

[VinnieB]

Mitchell was always coming to Collingwood. It didn’t hinge on the Henry trade at all.

Henry was worth a top 15 pick. Geelong bent us over trading their 2023 1st.

I only tell the people I like the most to shut up. Everyone else I just avoid in the first place.

 

[Vicky Park]

Ollie was a first round pick that Hine got right on talent. Very right.

But he should have delved deeper at the pre-draft interview, especially as Ollie was wearing a Geelong scarf, and humming a tune from the opera, Carmen.

When I think of Hine’s first round picks that failed…

 

[manicpie]

I want him back, and I want him back now

 

[memoryofmchale]

Commentators were pointing out his treatment long before he left Collingwood.

It all started after ANZAC Day, 2022 when he went from Jack Ginnivan, a rookie called out by Kane Cornes to Jack Ginnivan the ducking cheat.

Spot on.

Swings and roundabouts. It'd be nice to see him kicking goals for us, but it's also nice to hang shit on him about being a mummy's boy.

It's like Ginni leaving - how great is it to be laughing at him for not getting frees? Ducking tosser.

Mitchell was out the door at Hawthorn from the middle of the year, probably by the start. Said himself he didn't feel welcome. Link to Collingwood was quite early on in the piece.

However, we did have to sort out the finer details and that's the complicating matter. I remember some on here wanting to hang on to every second pick and every first but still land players. You have to make sacrifices. And in doing so, it can lead to a flag.

Henry was worth what the market would pay and unfortunately in the player-dominated trade market, he could sook as much as he wanted and picked out the club. In my books, that has to stop. In the end we had the last laugh in September. The over-analysis of a trade period that won us a flag is amusing to say the least.

Swings and roundabouts I guess. We got pretty much zip for Henry, but we did get a Norm Smith medalist and Bobby Hill for nothing also. Billy Frampton goes alright too for depth and McStay was a FA. And a flag.

Yep, Henry was worth more, but the carry on about the difference between pick 15 and pick 25 is ridiculous. The value difference between those picks isn't that great, other than in our heads.

As a defender, Frampton is far more than depth. He’s been named as one of our best on two weeks in a row. Would challenge Murphy if he keeps his form up.

Although we could have been talking about the Premier's 2023 1st round pick (probably projected to be between 15-18), which was actually top 10.

exactly this ..was just about to write the same thing

just as the media pile on created the narrative - which the umps responded to - for Ginni NEVER to get a free at the pies

likewise they will (and are) now re-setting the narrative for him in a hawks jumper ..it will take a couple weeks but it will turn for him

perhaps even next week...

wouldn't mind betting the media OUTRAGE will soon result in the Ginni rule being completely over-turned

you know, now it's not disadvantaging the team wearing BLACK n WHITE stripes!

as you were ...

I think he is an absolute certainty to get a forward 50 free on Sunday. But, if we bring a high pressure game it won’t make any difference to the result.

I’m expecting Gin to be the recipient of some pretty fierce play.

 

[Zzorse]

In a dream I had this week the Roos beat the Lions, just. Would be nice.

 

[Maggie5]

Picked the Crows to beat Demons by 5 points with a goal seconds before the final siren.

That would be so sweet and a great start for the week-end ahead.

It’s 10 better.

As a recipient myself from time to time, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. But, if North do get up, we are ALL taking the piss

Didn't North kick the first four goals on the Bears last year? I'll need that South Park meme of Stan's Dad at the computer, if your dream comes true!

 

[jmac70]

I reckon Adelaide will go alright tonight.

 

[jmac70]

Lots of empty seats. Hopefully it fills up
