“They need players in all different parts of the ground. They have an ageing list and there is some discussion around that the might fall off the cliff. I think they need some young, quality players.”
Snap judgments: The area each AFL club needs to address this trade period and off-season

Our midfield is A-grade in the short term with Naicos, Pendles, Sidebottom, Crisp and JDG and Mitchell to come back in from injury riddled years. Perryman as that big bodied defensive midfielder also bolsters that. Long term we will have Naicos, Allan and Mcguane coming in to build around.
Most go for a coffee and a laugh. The real work would be done behind the scenes and over the phone
We are the 9th best side right now
It's all part of the Carlton/SEN Pies pile-on - everyone has an opinion, and SEN just love getting stuck into Collingwood.Collingwood: Need players all over.

This is all it’s about. For whatever reason Seedy doesn’t want Houston.
Every time we have traded a future first we have done worse the following year than expected.
Kane misses the point on why the angst at the battle compo, the battle compo screws over everyone else pushing down their draft hand, while GC overpaying for Rioli just screws GC.
Are you superstitious?
Just so you know, Beau Addinsall isn't going 2nd round, closer to top 10.
It’s like a problem gambler saying this time I’ll win
I’ve flirted with this thought, but what I keep coming back to is whether he’s just Dean and Eyre without the injury profile? They’re all similar in age and Dean is the only one that has seemingly done anything of note at state league level.
"Ageing list". Pretty sure that covers all footy lists, unless you plan on recruiting corpses.Collingwood: Need players all over.

There's no way that's just a coincidence. I reckon the players love future firsts and stop trying if we trade them. That 2nd to 3rd was a particularly dire example of a plummet.
If we're going to carry a developing tall from the 2020 draft like Dean/Eyre or even Reef, I'd rather give the opportunity to a player that was a pick 6 and hopefully has more upside and talent. Would happily delist Eyre and Reef and pick up DGB to develop and Tomlinson for immediate depth
You need to work on your analogies
He’s of the view that picks in the late teens net you nick daicos every time
Agreed. IMO, they’re all long shots aside from Tomlinson whose main issue is being the wrong side of 30. I don’t hold out hope for either of Eyre or Dean so I’d cop turning them over if the club chooses that path.
