Not sure this needs to be discussed.

Listening to Simmo talk about in on Backchat, didn't get the impression he was anything other than confident Harley will be a West Coast player for a while, unless I missed something.
People around here are bedwetters buying into Vic media BS.
 
I can't recall anything written or spoken that said pick 1 was on the table. Happy to be shown where though as it was some time ago.

It wasn’t

We pushed for it but Carlton wouldn’t budge because they wanted Kreuzer who, along with Cotchin, was a clear top 2 in that draft

So it was only ever pick 3 and 20 plus a player. Carlton wanted to give us Paul Bower who was a KPD taken with pick 20 in the 2005 draft. We needed a forward more than a defender so chased a reluctant Kennedy which turned out to be a master stroke

Emma Quayle wrote a great book about that draft. It was clear that we wanted Cotchin with pick 1. He knew it too and had a bit of a sook/didn’t want to go west.

Didn’t his dad cry foul on our culture?

Anyhow worked out great for both WCE and Cotchin and not so much for Carlton

Don’t know about that, they had a couple of decent years and it’s hard to imagine they would have done much better with Kennedy and masten but without Judd.

It dragged the club out of complete irrelevance. Probably more impact off field.

In hindsight they should have done 1 & 3

But I guess if Kreuzber didn’t get injured or Fevola shit the bed both clubs and Cotchin walk away super happy.
 
You would think most non collingwood supporters would go Reid.
It was the better goal anyway. Surprised there weren't any better goals this year.
The first one from Daicos shouldn't be there IMO it was just a casual stroll through the middle cleaning up his team mates fumbles and a straight kick from 40m
