    I could be wrong, but I foresee a real Chris Dawes-like career for Logan.

    It's funny, when I was younger and he would do something outrageous like not having Nathan Buckley #1 in his rankings, I seethed with anger and hated him. Now, with grey hairs in my beard, experience in the industry and with almost two decades of enduring his replacement, my respect for him...

    I certainly heard the same thing for both. Maybe we run in different circles and read different things. Obviously their criticism was not to the same extent, but that's because Ed broke ground in that regard and was the first to do it... in addition to being one of the biggest football...

    Nothing wrong with Edmund being a Blues fan and showing his bias... as long as that bias is divulged, which it has been for a long time. Let's not throw rocks in our 'Collingwood President commentating Collingwood games for years' glass house ;) We have days of back and forward and...

    "Do Collingwood need a new captain that can lead them to a premiership?" "We'll be right back after the break to talk about 2023 premiership captain, Darcy Moore."

    At Pick 6 we drafted the Rising Star. A player who kicked 40 goals in a team that came within a kick of winning a premiership. A player Kevin Sheehan labelled the best talent and best player in the draft. Obviously, in hindsight, it’s easy to say it was a wasted pick and we should have drafted...

    I would understand the outcry on our list management if we were chasing 30+ year olds, but can we be serious for a minute? Perryman is 26 Houston is 27 Both are in a position to give 5-6 years of service at a high level. And to get Houston we're potentially giving: Noble - 27 Richards - 24 A...

    Six years is exactly the length of career you would hope a quality role player to have if they're recruited at 25. Quality role players, in my opinion, are exactly what we need to be surrounding Nick, Josh and Jordy with. No nonsense types who can play a role every week. The question is about...

    Jesus, I didn't know he was 30. I can't see it working for us from a trade and cap perspective, even if you could get your head around how he fits in the best 22. He looks like a prime candidate for North.

    We won the flag 12 months ago. We've made 4 prelims in the last 6 years. If you go back further, since 2002, Collingwood has made 11 prelims in 22 years. We've won two flags and played in 7 GFs. I think the development is just fine. Some kids just don't make it. They don't gel with your team...

    No doubt. No one loves Dekka more than I do, but I think it's fair to say he's been average at best at the draft table for some time now. 2023 was largely (and bloody magnificently) built off the success of drafts from 7+ years prior, savvy trading and F/S & academy picks. He owes us a gem or...

    Players, above all else, are self-motivated. Money and playing time are the main drivers - when you're not talking 'home sickness'. The Woods look like an incredible place to work, but does a premiership team scream like a place with ample opportunity to play and cash to burn? I dare say that...

    Could be a natural inclination to melt? The trade looks like astounding business to me. We keep our best asset (future first) and webring our other assets forward 12 months, when they're needed most. Mind you, we could finish in the bottom four again and the value still lines up. Gold Coast...
