I think the whole media carry on is hilarious! Adam Treloar will get paid 800k to play football next year, to play football!
Suck it up....
 
So basically we will be relying on these clubs with the top picks to come to the table. Quite a risk.

Definitely a risk no doubt, but if it was to pay off and get a Logan McDonald or similar it would be worth it.

We could also have 2nd tier of 2 or 3 players that we could target for just this years 2 x 1sts to move up the order.
 
Listening to that Anderson bloke on 3aw just makes me angrier. All relaxed and composed and letting us know that we are over reacting and this is part of a plan.

So how far back does this plan go? To signing Treloar to 5 years? Grundy to 7?

Maybe we have all got it wrong and they do have a grand plan...that they have compiled in the last 2 months.

Nobody is completely pissed about letting these players go if we were honest throughout, but even inside they are still trying to convince themselves that Treloar, Phillips and Stephenson is effectively worth pick 14 and us still paying Treloars 300k.

Has anyone inside the club stopped and thought, shit guys this plan is actually pretty terrible.

A plan is trading out players for picks. We’ve traded 3 players, and all our second rounders for pick 14. They really need to stop trying to spin it
 
i feel sorry for Guy, he's been thrown under the bus big time. Hey Ned, just gn out there, admit nothing about salary cap or any other concerns, just tell them that you think this is improving our list.

He was at the nogiating table also sat on list committee decisions that saw Beams return, and signed Grundy to a millstone deal.

Dont feel sorry for him one bit.

You are correct.. More spin from the morons in charge down at Pieland
 
Mark Anderson, our CEO was on 3aw tonight. It’s worth a listen.

Let me guess, needed to trade out quality to improve via the draft?:drunk: Not a salary dump?:drunk: Hard decisions had to be made?:drunk:

They’ve all been reading from the same script - Guy, Walsh, McGuire and now Anderson. All in damage control but that ship has already sailed.
 
Give a thought for Mason Cox in all of this.
He comes to a strange land and has to learn all these weird nicknames and weird accents.
To top it off he is watching this whole Treloar debacle from afar thinking how much a backwater Australia is.
If I was Mason I would run. I think it would benefit both parties.

The way US sports are Mason would probably be laughing at the situation.
 
The club is lying to us.

Let's give them more money. This plan is unreal.. I won't be able to sleep tonight from this sensational news. We are going to pick up some real stars for a change..
Anderson needs his head slapped, along with his mate Ed and Walsh..
 
This Sucks and Will hurt for sometime.

Next thing we be doing is De-Lised Free Agents and we have 6 Open Spaces on the List.

We are not Drafting 6 Guys so we at least sign 2 DFA's.

2 I have heard we are looking at are Majak Daw and Jordan Galluci

Majak Daw would be good.

Jordan Galluci is just Treloar/Stephenson but far far less talented

Like a lot of Pies fans I was bitterly disappointed with what transpired during the trade period.

At this moment it looks like a massive stuff up all round but I'm prepared to hold my fire until at least the draft.

I know, I know you may say I'm kidding myself but what if we are able to do the following

- Trade our 2 x 2020 1st + 2021 1st to get into the pointy end of this years draft to get 1 of the top talent whilst picking up Reef Mcinnes with later picks
- 2021 Draft - pick up Nick Daicos using 2 x 2nds etc
- Target a gun free agent next year to fill a need.

If we are able to do something like the above will supporters still feel as angry or look back at the events with a different perspective?
All good in theory but a club has to do the deal. The player we want had to be there. If we could manage to get Logan McDonald Reef and Nick next year then that’s a reasonable result for us
 
They are saying we are paying 150k pa for the life of the current contract.

We are also paying for phillips to be at Hawks.

Surely we aren’t paying any for Phillips for pick 65. He was only contracted for one more year on ok money. Hawks could easily have offered him 3 years and absorbed his 2021 money over a longer period.

Hi Pies fans, I come in peace. I know as footy fans we all love our players and are devastated when a player moves on, so to lose several in such a brutal way makes no sense. Can honestly say that there’s no gloating from our club’s perspective with regard to signing Adam, most of us can’t understand how it even happened. Footy is tribal as we all know but sometimes we can put down our swords and feel real empathy for people who just plainly love their footy club and don’t deserve to have it thrown back in their face. I hope you can work your way through the situation and pick up some good kids in the draft. Also hope those kids don’t feel too much pressure given Ned Guy’s explanation last night. Cheers HD

The worse thing is on all trades done we didnt even remotely get close to value and im not talking good value just even ball park of their true worth or par.
 
GWS have 13 and 15

if we can get those for next years 1st ( 3 - 12)

we will have 13,14,15,16 this year

four picks in the top 20

Very low odds outside top 10.

Reef will eat one.

The rest all get pushed back 4 spots so its 18 19 and 20 plus Reef.

Akin to Kennedy Broomhead and Grundy draft how did that pan out?

Not enough for a list rejuvination thats for sure.
 
Thanks. Listening right now.

This made me even angrier

Dear f%#*ing everyone at Collingwood,
I don’t care who you trade.
We understand that it’s a process to get better, it’s about ready-structuring the list, but yet again F%#*ING NO ONE is explaining that if it wasn’t just a salary dump, why did we accept the trade returns? We were absolutely shafted.

FMD I’m furious.

wow both big pass

Galluci torn Achilles in June so fits our injury profile

Yep - didn’t read this until I posted something similar

VALUE for players
 
  • Walsh disputes Jaidyn's story. He wasn't working hard enough. Wasn't doing what was asked.
  • In exit interview, this was reinforced to him. The phone call wasn't the first time he was told of issues. It has been explained numerous times.
  • He was made "well aware" of short comings, and what he needed to do to improve - from coaches and team mates.
  • Cap situation has been "hugely exaggerated".
  • Won't comment on Treloar salary after move to Dogs. "Have never done that".
  • Says it's fair for fans to question the outcomes from trades (in terms of draft picks). He understands the "immediate emotion" of replacing "flesh and blood" with "draft picks".
  • Happy to secure future draft picks, and use these to improve draft position.
  • "To get better, have to give up good players".
  • Played poor in finals, we aren't good enough. Need to improve, and best way to do so is to go to draft.
  • "We will always respect our members and supporters". "We will go to them at appropriate times, in the appropriate forums".
  • "In an ideal world, you would pay 100% on contract each year and start new year with new slate".
  • "Our primary motivation was to position ourselves well in a good draft" (expectation is that we will improve position this year by the sounds of it).
  • Tom Browne asked if we have money to go after free agents. Walsh wouldn't discuss strategy.
  • "We never went after Tom Lynch". We spoke to him, but didn't go after him. Eddie reiterated this.

Some of this is paraphrased, but close to what he said.

To do all that you actually need good draft picks not end of first rounds and a future 2nd. Did they even bother to question him further on the little value we got.

They are mistaking peoples anger of losing the players for a packet of skittles vs losing them for value (which would of actually gave us the picks neeeded to refresh).

Why is do people keep saying Reef will eat one? I must be missing something...
