None of it is relevant though
On your last sentence, how the * did Roos and Clarkson get coaching jobs? Terrible decisions.

His numbers are not flattering and are trending steeply downwards:
Pies Home and Away win/loss % with Finals in brackets :
2011 under Malthouse 88% (67%),
2012 - 68% (33%),
2013 - 61% (0%), and
2014 - 53% and currently sitting outside top 8
Malthouse Stats after 2011?
How about C. Scott?
After our last period of contending (2002-03) we dropped to 13th in 2004 and then 15th in 2005. Yet this is constantly ignored

2012 - 0% which was an absolute disgrace.
True, WTF was going on?

Anvil's death stare
He is doing alright, only in his third year with probably the most frustrating injury list for 2 years running.

You better cross your fingers, toes, and everything else that the FA rules don't stay as they are for next year.
Let's say the rules stay as they are. What are you putting on the table?
Yeah, although Collingwood have a bright future with lots of talented youngsters, the question is should they have gone the rebuild so early?
Buckley inherited a list that had played in 2 GF's with plenty of the core players being quite young...i think he should have built on the team he had like Hawthorn and Geelong rather than the overhaul the teams gone through.
Unless he was after too much money, getting rid of Dawes was a mistake...he's better at the second forward role than Lynch and White.
I said in some prediction thread before the season started we'd be lucky to make the 8. Too many kids, who will tire as the season progresses. I expect next yr we will be a lot better and 2016 we should be contending top 4.

Ironically, they would have been better keeping Dawes, and pushing for White as the mobile second ruckman role. Means Reid can stay back, which means their young defenders can get more time to develop before being thrown to the wolves.
A forward line of Dawes, Cloke, White, Elliott, Blair Goldsack, pretty handy
Nothing, if the rules stay as they are we just sign him up as a FA. You will get a 1st round compo pick in return.
EDIT: If you're talking about getting him this year... we would be stupid to try to make a trade. We could just wait out his contract then sign him as a FA and Collingwood will get a compo pick.

Yeah, but with a better forward line you might have pushed for another flag by now. What would you prefer??
Shaw Our decision
Maxwell Retired
Thomas inflated price, taken out of our hands
Johnson retired
Didak delisted. Was finished and not even picked up as rookie
Jolly. Also finished. Mick went for Wood instead of him.
Krak. Was finished. Not picked up
Davis. Our decision. Still no bites.
Wellingham. Went home. 50/50
Brown. retired.
Dawes. our decision.
Our decisions on most were the right call. E.g. Jolly, Didak, Krak, Wellingham, Thomas (cash). Dawes and Shaw were based on longer term prospects and a pretty ruthless. A mistake for this season, probably. I'm not buying into the Dawes hype this year.
It's a bit more than the forward line that's costing the Pies at the moment. Out of interest, do you watch all the Pies games available on TV.
I don't think we were in contention for a flag after 2011. We had built to the 2010 flag from the 2005 draft. By the end of 2011, it was 6 yrs. we peaked in 2010/11. There was always going to be a decline after that long on the rise. The club can say what they want about premiership windows, but history and reality tends to show something else other than the propaganda clubs feed their supporters. Make no mistake, this is a rebuild.
