List Mgmt. Trade and F/A 2020 Cont’d

[Horaceg]

At what point do the picks dry up??

How are we getting Reef now? We have no points for a bid if he goes after 16.

Put it on the credit card, we can go into deficit and another clean out of best 22 next year to get points for Nick who may not choose to be a father son With us after today

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

New draft picks.
Time for a nap in between, then some real wishful thinking in the 70's.

Collingwood

14, 16, 65, 70, 75, 92

What is going on...f*** this club

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Hmmm

He’s flipped the script.

 

[Thefly38]

Can anyone confirm that with how bent over on returns we got that surely we aren’t paying much of anyone’s salary

 

[Anzacday]

Now that the trade period has been run and done and we know the outcome

Not quite.
Picks can be traded up to and on draft night I believe.

 

[SpongePie]

Sooooo..... future first to GWS for picks 13 and 15?

Leaves us with 13, 14, 15 and 16 in this draft

Plenty of picks for Hine to **** up.

 

[DaVe86]

I could have half lived with it if we kept those 2nd rounders for points for Reef. But now we don't even have those by the looks of things. How do we get Reef?

Maybe we have a handshake agreement with another club to trade some later picks for a higher points pick.

 

[Get Smart 86]

It would be good if the club was just honest with it's fan base.
But the crap that Ned Guy came up with just doesn't do it!

I think all the other 17 clubs are just laughing at our expense.
The big winners..........................Western Bulldogs
I'm gutted.
Going to take a while for me to trust my club again!!!!!!

 

[whiskeytown]

Sold the farm (Treloar, Stephenson, Phillips, multiple 2nd and 3rd picks, cohesion of the playing group, support of the fans)

... for a turnip (pick 14, a future 2nd, some 4th rd picks)

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?

"Hey lets get rid of Stevo so that we can play some young talent."

 

[Thefly38]

What is going on...f*** this club

what will 2021 first get us ? If we put it with 16

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

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

My son told me the same after school. Devastated Stephenson is gone, and can't believe the stupidity of our trading, and he is only 13...

 

[Visions]

"It's about adding more talent to the list".

"We think first round picks is pretty handy".

He wants to trade up by the sounds of it. But, no trust that they will be able to do it.

So he wants to add unknown talent to the list by getting rid of known talent. Genius!

Last two years in trade week the d!ckhead has given away Aish, Stevo, Atu, Treloar and Phillips, and brought in Cameron. Winning!

Our aggressive trade period was about as aggressive as our game plan.

Full of holes.

 

[Moore of the Same]

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.

Nice points. Would you ultimately concede that the club, how can I put this delicately.. shat the bed during this trade period?

 

[Apex36]

Treloar for a future 2nd.

Pies also effectively traded Stepho Phillips Atu and our 3rd and 4th rounder for pick 14.

Rofl.

So pick 14 and our 16 which likely be 20 and 22, one of which will be eaten by Reef.

Fair dinkum.

Since when are there going to be 6 bids in the first round? There’s Sydney, Port, Dogs? Who else? GC players will be pre-listed so doesn’t change draft order.

 

[rmb123]

This flog Ned talks about wanting to get into the draft. So you trade treloar Stevo and Phillips for a pick 14 and also pay for some of their salary. How did this prick get a gig it’s disgusting. We are better off trading those two picks for a better and pick and using combined points for reef. But I bet they are to stupid to even think like that.

 

[Kappa]

Can anyone confirm that with how bent over on returns we got that surely we aren’t paying much of anyone’s salary

Apparently Dogs are paying 600k of Treloar's salary and we'll make up the rest.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I'm calling the club and cancelling both memberships for my son and myself...

 

[loki04]

We will pay $1.5m. That's f’ed.

300k a year for Adam to play against us.

 

[CashCows]

I feel worse today than I did after the 2018 GF loss. Devastated.

 

[stormskye]

what will 2021 first get us ? If we put it with 16

Biggest issue I see, is the club believe next years first will be above pick 10.

when It’s likely to be 5-9. We will prob undersell that to.

 

[TW Sherrin]

When they dumped Phillips and Stephenson why didn't they keep Treloar and the picks?

Were they that stuffed they had to dump 1.8M?

 

[JLC]

Ned guy is a genuine ******* muppet. This is the worst interview I have ever heard

How on earth was he appointed?

I would love to know what whizz bang skills they thought he had, to make him suitable to be our list manager.

 

[Drought Break]

Wow an ex premiership player hates the pies

Just goes to show how toxic the joint is

And macaffer was looked after I thought

not hates the Pies, most likely hates our coach like the ever increasing list.

 

[YouBeauty]

Stephenson: I feel for all the Collingwood supporters. I love the support that they gave me at my time there. I feel bad for all the kids that have the #1 on their jersey. But I hope that I hold a little place in their heart, because they'll always hold a place in mine
