The fact Crisp looks a good player in our team is a problem, he's ordinary, he wouldn't have gotten a game in 2011 with us I see him as the Luke Rounds type in 2011. In fact if Luke Rounds was still with us today he'd be in our best 10 players.

Well them being Ahead of the Trade at the moment and Winning is 2 DIfferent Things.
What I seen of De Goey so far. I can see De Goey being as good as Beams in a few years
I am not certain whether some people on this site actually like trolling or are just plain stupid.
I am not going to name anyone but it's obvious who makes so many stupid comments.

Hey I haven't said anything on this thread for a long time
Apart from eightball, I reckon crisp is going to be a very handy player for us.
I was bitterly disappointed that he was part of the trade, but once he was ours I've accepted him with open arms.
Reckon he is gonna improve through the roof over the next 6-18 months. I like what I've seen seen so far. Big body, runs well, very nice athlete, strong and his decision making is much better than I expected. Will thrive at pies.

If Rounds would be top 10 for us why hasn't been picked up by anyone?

I dont think that he means that Rounds would be a top ten player now.....in reality. He's using a dramatic statement to make his point and to promote himself as a concerned Collingwood supporter.
This kind of thinking is just moronic. It is the end result that counts not what might happen. There are no winners or losers at this point in time, just potential winners and losers. It will not be for another five years before we can judge this. I dare say the scum and weagles might still be arguing over who one the Judd trade. Given the scum haven't won a flag with Judd you could automatically argue they lost because that was the expectation.
Couldnt agree with you more.Esp with a gun like pendles teachin him the ropes
Didn't the Cats win another Flag after GAJ left? And the Hawkers did OK last year without Bud. I think clubs can bounce back pretty well if a star departs....not like they have any choice but to?

I agree.
I don't see why people are excited about Crisp. In 3 years he only managed to play 6 games (all at the end of that period) for a bottom-6 club. He may have put up good numbers in those games, but nothing about his history at brisbane excites me. He was just a sweetener to the trade, nothing more. (at this stage)
He is like any late draft/rookie pick up. I'm sure the club do see some things they like, and they have a responsibility to "talk him up" as a recruit - but that doesn't mean that we are going to particularly see him in the 22. (and looking at our squad - I would have him way down the list right now).
I think it is fair for people to be "excited" while its preseason, but I hope that most peoples expectations become more realistic once the season gets well underway.
Whether Crisp would have got a game for us in 2011 is irrelevant. Its now 2015, hes four years older and we are at a different stage in the cycle.
Hes basically a freebie, a mature age pickup if you like. Right size and shape, suits our no short people policy during trade week. His preseason form is good so I'm excited to see how he goes.

well isnt that the point.... measuring penis size about who won the beams thing is irrelevant... what matters is whether we win a premiership in the next few years.
If all threads were about "will we win the premiership in the next 2-3 years" Bigfooty would be pretty boring. Why cant we analyse the trade and continue to analyse it over time?

You can call Crisp “Steak Knives” of the Trade.

People are excited about him because of his encouraging performances this NAB Cup which greatly contrast a lot of peoples' expectations of him....
Fact is, we wanted better and ended up with what they offered which wasn't good enough for a star of the afl that's why we held out as long as we did. We had to cave and accept their shitty offer.
