Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
They traded in a second round pick from the Bulldogs in the Treloar deal to replace the 2nd rounder they traded outCan someone explain to how Collingwood traded out their 2021 first and second rounder? I thought you could do that with future picks. Ie you can either trade your first but have to keep your others, or trade the others but keep your first?
VFL will change the rules - just like they did for Geelong. They will not be held to account.If collingwood want daicos and to pick up the compulsory 6 picks over the next two seasons or whatever, how are they going to manage that?? Wouldn't want to be their list manager this year.
Atleast Geelong could point to their sustained success as to why they deserved dispensation.VFL will change the rules - just like they did for Geelong. They will not be held to account.

Losing is still a mentality of a shit clubThe mentality of a s**t club is an arrogant president and the boys club who choose not to face reality and destroy a team and list through incompetence.
The AFL have designed a socialist system and you can ignore it and fail or work with it for a chance at success.
The modern era was built on F/S gifts, PP, COLA payments and now FA & Academy hand outs.
The club made to choice to go to the bottom and sort of cleaned out the list to reset which some supporters had been saying was required and if your going to go there might as well do it properly.
While pick 2-7 maybe be even its our second pick and compo pick for MCrouch that is affected greatly.
Pick 21 & 22 vs Pick 26 & 27 has a significant effect on the following scenarios
1. Best available in 2nd round of draft
2. Trying to trade up for a 1st rounder
3. Trading for an established player
4. Future picks genuinely valued more.
Pick 21/22 and a future 2nd is a good carrot to dangle in front of West Coast or SydneyPick 21 & 22 vs Pick 26 & 27 has a significant effect on the following scenarios

We can't really help them get points in any case.
No wonder they're trying to drum up sympathy for their draft this year - they have pick 17 and then 72 and later, about 1000 points worth and would need 2400 to match a bid at pick 1 (or even ~2000 at pick 2) ... and we were the prime cause of that last year
They could maybe trade (on current picks) 17 to Tigers for 26, 30, 42 & 48, or to Cats for 27, 28 & 33 - and they'd still be short of points. Will probably also need to trade out a player.
Thilthorpe still got a $5k cheque.
Bevo is one of the biggest w@nkers in the entire AFL. Just a complete flog.
Can someone explain to me the logic of some board members wanting the higher pick even though our clear target (Horne) is unachievable? I think the difference between pick #2 and #5-6 is personal preference. Is there even a clear #2 or #3 ? It seems like all I hear about is a clear #1 in Horne. So then why would you want to lose to get number#2 or #3 when the guy we want will probably still be there at #5? I get trading down, but you don't celebrate on a board week in week out over trading down for a late first.
Geez. Imagine being Collingwood list manager. You would have had pick 4 to cover a bid from Daicos. You would have been able to split that pick for points and probably had change. Meaning you’d be able to go to the draft and get Daicos plus have your early second rounder.
Instead they’ll be short points and either trading out players or their 2022 second for points.

That's my point though. So all the members who are celebrating with every loss and saying we're closer to the bottom are doing this for a trade down. It's the mentality of a sh*t club

Not exactly true as context is required. Nicks ain't saying lets lose and that's the only thing that matters. But he will play kids knowing it may reduce the number of wins in the short term.Losing is still a mentality of a sh*t club
If I read your post correctly, I thinkTrading for their 2022 picks would be risk free. Reasonably valued as very late, ie 18/36... , so the worst you can do is get actual value. If they sh*t the best in 2022 could pick up a big premium. So give them a premium on pick 18 points value in 2021 fir their 2022 first. Could get lucky.
If I read your post correctly, I think your suggesting trading our (current) 2021 picks 23 & 41 (1229pts) or 36 & 41 (914pts) for their 2022 round 1 pick? They'd still be short of points to match a pick 1 or 2 bid on Darcy.
It doesn't help us either - we need to draft kids this year and there are some SA mids that sound very promising who might be in the pick 23 range - Hugh Jackson, Hugh Stagg, Isaac, Birt, Kobe Ryan, ... - might be another player at the level we're seeing Pedlar at the moment.
GWS have pies pick.So if Pies get a top 3 pick, and North/Hawks keep them honest then there is a pretty good pick up for grabs. I’d offer our 2022 first. There is a fair chance they look at us and think Tex is a year older and we still have a fair way to go. Personally I think we improve next year.

Yep , dominated U18s finals at end of yearWill also didn't play a lot of U18's as he played mostly school football.
And Melbourne's tanking has resulted in a top 2 finish likely this season.Not exactly true as context is required. Nicks ain't saying lets lose and that's the only thing that matters. But he will play kids knowing it may reduce the number of wins in the short term.
Businesses sometimes have to lose money to go forward, buildings often have to be stripped back before renovated.
Its just a fact a life often you have to go backwards at some stage before moving forward.
Geelong are the only side not to bottom out in the last 25 years. They did many things well but benefitted hugely from F/S so this highlights each clubs turn will come. The system is designed for it to happen.
The dogs should be able to create a dynasty not due to being the best club but through AFL gifts that include Liberatore, Hunter, Wallis, West, JUH, Darcy on the back of Cooney and Griffin who was traded for a match winner in their only GF in 50 years.
Richmond, Hawthorn and Brisbane were all crap before they won their 3 premierships this century.
