We’ve really f’ed out selves. Instead of drafting Chol and Artts we have Beams, Dunn, Broomhead, Reid who may as well be replaced with cheer squad members and our list would be in exactly the same spot.
I’d agree fully w your stance on JDGTrading out players like DeGoey or Treloar would be absolutely ludicrous. Would do nothing to improve our position.
Say best case scenario Treloar goes north and we get pick 5 and Brodie, and manage to get Cameron with the spare cash. Pick 5 is every chance to be a failed pick like Scharenberg, we get Cameron, who doesn't make us a premiership side with a less than adequate midfield, and we add another fringe player to our mid stocks.
We need to be keeping a core of players in our top 10-15 who are in a good age bracket and bringing in players and a game plan around them which complement their strengths.
We need to focus on building around players like Grundy, Treloar, Adams, Moore, DeGoey, Maynard, Daicos, Crisp, Quaynor, and upgrading players under 30 outside of that list. If we can upgrade at least 3 or 4 of the likes of Cox, Madgen, Roughead, Sier, Noble, WHE, Thomas, Phillips in the next year or two we are heading in the right direction.
Ahh there it isconsidering the injuries
I’d agree fully w your stance on JDG
If Treloar’s hammies had never gone I’m with you on that one too.
But.
With Treloar, as much as he improves us, his hammies terrify me. Perhaps he goes to GCS and has a great career but for pick 5 I’d do it. It’s moneyball - we could draft a dud but this trade makes sense to me.

Pick 5 (we get from?), 2021 first plus treloar and Phlipa?

Moore has finalised a deal up to 800k a year, that would make him a pie for life.

That's great, love Darc...back on JDG I now hope the Pies put the hard word on him and sign him up by the time the trade period commences...We need to maximise our opportunities....Moore has finalised a deal up to 800k a year, that would make him a pie for life.
Do you know how much Jeremy Mcgovern is on?That's big money for a full back

we should be doing similar with Jordy.
2yr deals are for Fringe players, except if you’re at Collingwood these days.
You mean a 28 year old KPD who has already showed significant injury woes by missing half of this season?Premiership player and 4x AA what is he on?
Happy for him to stay - really like the guyHis manager said he’s not going anywhere
Exceptional intercepting half back... but agree big money.

Moore is also an AA at 24 years old, you think he won't get multiple AAs or what

850 for a key back ooofPies are open to trading Cox
And sorry, its 850k for Moore.
I followed him as a junior. He went from being a rookie prospect as a forward, to being a second round selection after being switched to defence. He’s an excellent intercept defender and great field kick.Did you watch him as a junior?
