Even more than Grundy I’d say - let’s not forget there was still quite a few fans thinking Witts was going to end up being our #1 ruck since his tap work was a bit stronger at the time!
Won’t get too much quality with our draft hand.According to old mate we traded out quality players with the hope of improving our list by potentially drafting in quality players.

Me either, and neither have seemingly dozens of Pies fans
Our hope is probably that their midfield has a complete collapse like our 2019 midfield (Grundy, Pendlebury, Adams, Beams, Treloar & Sidebottom) did, lol.

I still cant believe that interview from Ned Guy. I am so disgusted
JDG replaces Treloar in the middle, Kelly replaces JDG up forward,
Sidey back to the wing,
Elliott takes Stevo’s role spending more time as a forward.
Still can’t believe we didn’t get pick 11 for Stevo. Could have almost accepted this trade period.

Don't trade that it'll be a top 5 pick at this rate

So we get rid of the 21,24 & 27 year olds...... lol.
Wouldn’t you get rid of the Dudss and the 30 year olds?
I just meant that that’s our pick so not really relevant
What happened to pick 26 that we got for Stephenson?Where did that go?
Just wanted to say.... We still don't have a key forward LOL. Cameron, brown, hogan nup.
Now that the trade period has been run and done and we know the outcome I'm happy to provide my thoughts on our offseason so far.
Overall it's not a great outcome for Collingwood. It wasn't helped by Ned Guy when he finally came out to speak publicly who didn't do a great job in selling the plan. To be fair I've only seen part of the FoxFooty interview and it was a bit of a hostile environment, but the fact is that Ned is also not a good media performer and our PR department was sleeping on the job. If he had've come out said our cap was out we've been trying to manage it for a few years but it came to a crunch this year especially with the reducing cap and we needed to bite the bullet and fix it whilst still putting ourselves into some sort of decent position for the draft I could have accepted it. Not happy, but you would go okay fair enough, but he just didn't sell or explain the plan that gives you confidence.
The realities are the four players we lost (Stephenson, Atu, Treloar and Phillips) weren't the worst to lose, but to lose them the way we did hurts. To be fair to Guy, it's not entirely his fault, he has inherited some of this mess. But he hasn't helped much in the situation, the only question is whether that's on him or whether behind the scenes there's been other interference that has effected it.
The only real positive is that with two 1st round draft picks in the teens plus still having 2021 first round and two 2021 second round draft selections gives us some currency to improve our draft position for the 2020 draft. Unless the rule has changed having two 2021 second round draft selections would allow us to move our 2021 first round and one of those 2021 second round selections for draft picks this year if we choose. Also with the rule change today that allows clubs to draft only selection this year, those two late draft selections could well wind up being picks in the 40s.
I would hope the club will be doing a full review, and I do think that it's time for new leadership at the top. I'd like to see changes at board level. But unlike many here I'm not going to tear up my membership or walk away from my club. I'm not going to be a bandwagon supporter only jumping on when things are going well and jumping off when things are going poorly. I stuck with the club through the nightmare that was the 90s and this is nowhere near that level of bleakness. For better or worse I'm a Collingwood supporter and I'm proud of it.

Sumit up perfectly - fallen out of love.
How genuinely gut-wrenching this all is.
I actually feel hatred towards this club for the first time in my life.

Yea, Mr.FIGJAM.
Doggies will rotate or rest the Bont, Dunks or libba in the forward line too. Bloody hell....
•We traded Stevo because of past indiscretions which went to poor decision making. On field, Buckley saw what we all saw this year. He's great running in the open, but seemed to develop a case of timidity. Obviously the club thinks it has seen the best of him.
•Atu didn't get much of a chance, to be fair. His first game was OK and looked promising. His second was awful. I wondered about him after that performance, so it's not surprising he was moved on.
•Phillips? I don't think anybody is crying over this one? Terrific young man off field. Half a million off the books.
• The Adam Treloar situation is a mystery, but I suspect there's plenty we don't know. Almost a million a year for Adam? Not worth anywhere near it, but we signed him up. Something doesn't add up here. It will probably come out eventually.

You can bag Adrian but he doesn't get bent over in a trade.

Treloar is high maintenance, Jaydyn is a fairy while our cap is more rooted than Liz Vicious.

There’s quite a few out there who always seem to be the white knight for the Collingwood footy club and come to their rescue when someone disparages them.

My son just told me to NOT renew his membership and he was serious. The most passionate supporter I have ever known.
