Kane taking the news well

 

[Rusty Beam]

If i want an intelligent break down of Collingwood's moves, Cooney would be the very last person I'd turn to

Maybe it says something about me.

I actually really rate Coons opinion. He actually has his own which is usually interesting rather than just falling in with the crowd.

 

[South of the Yarra]

It happened with Ball Jolley and Leroy
It happened with Mitchell
The second Houston signs on the dotted line it will happen again. This bloke is an absolute gun.

Collingwood 2025 Premiers

 

[Silky23]

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks we're being bent over for Houston.

He's not a Petracca or Cripps or Jeremy Cameron, he won't be the defining factor in us going up the ladder.

Giving up Noble, Richards, a future 1st rounder and pick 36 for Houston and Pick 50-****ing-8.

Hine has done it again, we have not seen enough return on this trade and have 3 draft selections in the 50s

On SM-A146P using BigFooty.com mobile app

Are you sure about this? He's a back to back AA, literally one of the top 2-3 kicks in the entire comp and has an incredible intercept game which we have COMPLETELY lacked for awhile now.

Just because he plays at PA and we may not get to see him much in VIC, he is an absolute standout across half back. His influence at the MCG will be unparalleled imo

 

[Kreme Pie]

All the chips are in for 2025. Houston and Perryman great additions.

I always liked Noble but he’s fringe.

Richards has a lot of upside and should go well at Port without being a star.

Now to find a cheap experienced key defender.

Also find a Hine special late pick gem.

Also swap and bank some 2nd and 3rd rounders for next year.

Also need some 2023 form to return to several players who had regressed in 2024. Buckle up people, throwing everything including the kitchen sink at season 2025!

 

[MooreDaicos]

Our 23-29 age group will now stand at

Beau - 23
Bobby, IQ - 24
Perryman, Jaicos - 25
Schultz, Lipinski - 26
Houston - 27
Maynard, JDG, Moore -28
DC, McStay - 29

Add in Nick at 21, Allan at 20 plus McGuane next year

That's 14 of our best players in the perfect age bracket, plus Allan and McGuane who we are super excited about, and our older guys

Crisp, Titch, Mihocek, Elliott (32) who are all 31

20 guys who should be with us for at least the next 3-5 years, and untried guys like Jiath and Demattia at 19, am I one of the only ones who think we are in a REALLY good spot moving forward? With opening $ space, no reason we can't top up and try poach guys like LDU/Trac and potentially some KPP depth.

You forgot Harrison and possibly Robertson.

 

[cfc19902010]

mouth watering ..nick ..dan ..josh crispy rotating of half back and midfield

 

[eddiesmith]

Houston is an upgrade on Noble in the same way Jolly was an upgrade on Fraser.

John Noble isn’t even in Josh’s league, a poor comparison.

 

[BEEG]

Hahahaha this forum went from high to one pick being traded as well and OH ITS BULLCRAP!!...

This is seriously such a strange group

GUYS FFS IT'S PICK 36 WHICH PROBABLY GETS PUSHED OUT TO 43.

HINE HAS A TERRIBLE RECORD THE LAST 8 YEARS.

PICK 36 EVERY CHANCE TO BE DELISTED IN 2 YEARS WITH STUBBY FINGERS SELECTING.

DAN HOUSTON IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THIS TRADE PERIOD. (OLIVER NOT INCLUDED)

HOUSTON WOULD BE OUR 2ND OR 3RD BEST PLAYER.

SERIOUSLY THIS IS A BARGAIN.

 

[NMBB]

I sincerely hope there are no Pie supporters who boo Richards & Noble when they play against us.

They should get a standing ovation.

Could never boo The Right Hon. JFN

 

[nahnah]

Kane taking the news well

He is going to say it was a lose lose lose trade, everybody loses all the time for Kane. He gets paid to be negative

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

It happened with Ball Jolley and Leroy

Collingwood 2025 Premiers

Yep

If history repeats again, we'll be playing Port or GWS in the Grand Final too lol

Ball and Jolly - St.Kilda in the GF
McStay and Mitchell - Brisbane in the GF
Perryman and Houston? - Port or GWS

 

[anshell]

So much for the footy ‘experts’ on Footy Furnace last night claiming that our football department was in disarray and we didn’t really know what we were doing regarding this trade.I think we knew exactly what we were doing and it paid off in the end.

 

[Bramax]

Our 23-29 age group will now stand at

Beau - 23

Perryman, Jaicos - 25

You forget to automatically add 7mths onto Houston’s age to give the impression he’s already 28 yrs old today like the handful of naysayers are.

I think some people are forgetting how painful it was watching the ball be stuck in our back 50 for large stretches of time this year.

 

[VinnieB]

Kane taking the news well

It’s a shame we are giving pick 36 away.

Would be good if we can package some picks of value.

 

[Sco80]

Disappear where? Maybe we lose Sidey, Pendles, Elliott, Michell, Howe and Cox over next 2 seasons. I may have missed someone but I believe our list is not completely falling off a cliff with some smart acquisitions like Houston, Perryman and even Schultz (I know...). Key position depth is a slight worry.

Just putting it out there. We are going to lose a lot of experience after 2025. If we can sneak one more in somehow, I’ll be wrapped and if we disappear so be it. Hopefully not for long but with the tassie side coming in, we haven’t timed it well.

 

[No SPIN]

Yep
Hefty price to pay for a bloke who is basically an upgrade on John Noble

Really?
When was Noble ever mentioned as an AA prospect let alone achieving it.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

Personally I’d rather the Cats approach though.

Getting players like Bruhn, Henry, Smith etc at the start of their careers, once they have proven themselves at the level, rather than the end.

All we need to do to achieve that is move to a beachside town, not sure Smith was at the start of his career but I know what you mean with the others

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I sincerely hope there are no Pie supporters who boo Richards & Noble when they play against us.

They should get a standing ovation.

Yep

Said the same the other day

Those two sacrificed themselves (unintentionally) for the greater good of the club and both in completely understandable circumstances.

This isn't an Adams situation

Richards and Noble should be cheered like Ads was

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Hahahaha

But they talked themselves back into it being a good strategy only a few minutes later

 

[The Phantom]

Awesome.
1500+ pages before a confirmed trade.
First leg of my multi done.

 

[Pie eyed]

Is very bad table manners.

Unless you're Brian Blessed.

I would love us to take a dart throw at DGB as a summer signing

 

[Lockyer24]

Do we have a whiff of how the bidding systems will change next year?
Are they just compressing the points system to make you pay a bit more for earlier picks
