Let's not pretend he's a world beater
But, honestly if he wanted out the pies could of gotten a second rounder out of him any other year. Disaster

An absolute steal.
Now to steal Cameron at the PSD!
This was a strange one. To only get 65. I understand the reason to trade him given he was pushed out of the wing position. But thought they’d get more.

I feel like they just gave up at this point.

Strikes me as more of a player you'd want filling a role in a good side rather than waiting outside the square for the ball in a rebuilding one...but at pick 65...**** me you'd take that any day.

Yeah. Hes not the answer. But are you going to pick anyone up as good as him past pick 40? Hardly not.

The money thing will have turned off a lot of clubs, but honestly Hawthorn is well placed to pay him for a few years given their list profile. By the time you come good again you'll have downgraded his contract or will ship him off, and in the meantime he fills a role.

In all wildest dreams could we have anticipated replacing Isaac Smith with 24 year old Tom Phillips for as cheap as this. Imaging proposing this at the beginning of the year. With Henderson and Smith gone in the same off-season, it was imperative we got this trade done. I personally expected our pick 23 to be involved with perhaps Phillips and 37 coming back. Straight swap for 65 is daylight robbery and I couldn't be happier.

We would also be able to renegotiate his contract so instead of just 550k next year it might be 400k over the next 3

Collingwood isn't going to be able to back-end contracts for a very looooong time.
He's not a star, but he's a relatively young player that's a decent level already with plenty of good footy left, and the potential to put together some very good seasons or games.
You're right any other year hes worth more, this was basically picked up for a nothing pick that mightn't even be used in this draft.
Maybe the only downside is if he's on reasonable coin, but Hawks in fairness probably have cap room at the moment.
Wright said we offered him a 2 year deal on our pay scales and it was up to his manager and Collingwood to work out what Collingwood pay him in 2021.
Doesn't it work out to be Isaac Smith + 65 for Tom Phillips and 43 or something like that?
Not a bad outcome lol
