2020 Retirements and delistings / trade talk

[amber_fluid]

@bum crack Booney says its his buy Round 1 next year, you just need to learn the words to NTUA

I’ll chip in $20 for his beanie

[daysofourlives]

Who are the 2 2nd round picks Geelong get next year tied to?

Bombers are one I reckon

So that will be pick 20, only really given up 2 1st rounders then, you can carry on supporting the Cats

Didn’t realize Collingwood have only won 2 premierships in 62 years

Head out for a bit, finally sit down and catch up with some news, first question. Collingwood, what the **** was that?

They had a huge dump!

Spotlight will be on FIGJAM more than ever.
I have a couple of mates who are 30-40+ year members who are livid with what Collingwood are doing & the way they’ve gone about it.

Very happy with Caldwell for essentially a late first rounder.
We will be bottom 4 definitely and most likely bottom 2 but picks 6,7,8, 2 academy kids and Caldwell to start the rebuild isn’t a bad start. Another top 4 pick in a very good draft next year plus a couple of promising F/S picks should mean there is some light at the end of the tunnel

Stephenson and Phillips I kinda get, but Treloar leaving isn't great.
List management from a salary cap point of view has been a debacle.

Aint nobody going to Collingwood on a heavily back ended deal ever again.
Cant believe the Pies had to give away the 3 pretty good picks as well. They really wanted him gone. There is obviously a much bigger story here, wonder if it will ever come out?

[Armchair expert]

Wow that trade deal for treloar is a stinker for Collingwood

Guess the rumours about him banging a trainer while being in massive gambling debt having bikies turn up to training were true

You mean Stephenson?
Treloar is a model citizen by all reports.

I cannot think of a worst trade period by any club than the one we've just had.

We better not be playing Geelong lol

Would be like two worlds colliding.

Yep, I couldn't believe what I woke up to, I had seen Treloar in a Dogs jumper last night and thought WTF but chuck Phillips into they fray and that's not even an "E".

[Lightning McQueen]

Looking forward to going to through it all and doing some grades, Saints and Dogs appear to have faired best at a quick glance, Port a solid B.

[cracka]

Pretty accurate but I think a bit harsh on Essendon losing 3 players that didn't want to be there. What more could they have done. They've picked up 3 players & still got picks 6,7 & 8

Tin foil hat time.

Collingwood were found to have broken the salary cap. Due to the pies not actually winning anything and the AFL not wanting to deal with a salary cap scandal tell Collingwood to have a total cleanout immediately. AFL then sweep it under the rug and its a win/win for both the AFL/Collingwood.

No other possible explanation makes sense for Collingwoods trade week.

It’s about right.
We lost 3 players of which 2 we haven’t seen for the best part of two years but Saad is a huge loss to our backline. We will go backwards next year so on face value it’s a solid F.
I’d imagine we will trade at least one of our picks 6,7 or 8 to either a better position or in a split to have a better draft hand and then I like the look of both our academy kids who will cost bugger all so 4-5 draftees could be a good start provided we don’t botch them.

I thought Adelaide's 5/10 was a tad inflated given the players they lost and gained no one, North's (7), Brisbane's (7.5) and Geelong's (8) also seemed inflated.

I thought the Saints performed better than the Dogs but the poll shows otherwise.

Carlton and Port can sit at the bar for a bit longer on draft day as neither feature for some time.
