Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

[Robroy22]

What happens to Collingwood if Tassie offer Diacos 2+ million a year and he leaves?

They take the draft picks and go get somebody else?

Option 2 Adam, they suggest to Tassie that NWM will cost em much less than 2 mill and encourage them to look elsewhere?

 

[EagleMan87]

They were all shit compared to Daics, probably Judd the only decent comparison this century

What about the reigning (dual) Norm Smith medalist?

Ask the opposition coaches who choose to tag McGluggage, Neale and Rayner ahead of him...

Robert Harvey 29,32,29 first 3 finals.

Sheesh, no wonder those opposition coaches lost! Not tagging the Gary Ayres medalist...

He’s basically to hard to tag. Gets the ball on the inside and outside and wins true contested footy.

 

[HeathySure]

He didn’t get a kick in the last qtr with season on the line. Not … a … single … kick. 7’x finals. Never in best 2 on ground. Finals are where reputations are made … everyone knows this. Naicos needs to seriously lift in September if he wants to shake his H&A specialist tag.

he had a knee injury that would have put him out of the grand final ... not to mention foot issues.

he is contracted until 2029

 

[Mynamesinuse]

he is contracted until 2029

He’s not going anywhere.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Robert Harvey 29,32,29 first 3 finals.

That's not "this century"

 

[Mynamesinuse]

That's not "this century"

My mistake.

 

[Worm4]

he is contracted until 2029

So was Curnow, the old contract doesnt mean shit these days

 

[doppleganger]

That’s a long winded summary. From 1991 to 2006 you won finals in 2 x seasons. Essendon have made finals a few times since 2004 or whatever it is without winning one … nobody cares.

More Tiger cherry picking

In 1990 we won 3 finals and a flag
In 2007 we won 2 finals

And unlike Essendon, Pies won through to two grand finals as a result of finishing top4 and winning multiple finals.

Your claim of two core teams just absolute made up crap.

What is it with Tiger tragics being woeful analysts who cherry pick selective data?

Or is CDog just another of your aliases?

 

[doppleganger]

Yeah just two unproven kids

Brodie is proven at AFL level.

Despite being a rookie pick, he has already produced more than many talented first round picks.

 

[Cdog71]

Or is CDog just another of your aliases?

What do you reckon?

 

[doppleganger]

But you need the top end talent though. Otherwise why have a draft order and why trade for early picks?

You need top end senior AFL alent.

People develop at different rates, there is no guarantee that a player taken with pick 9 will be a better player than a player taken with pick 56.

And many clubs can find top end senior AFL talent via rookie draft and other avenues not just the first round of the national draft.

 

[doppleganger]

What do you reckon?

Noids, ShereKhan,CDog

All post rubbish cherry picked selective data and pretend to pass it off as "analysis".

 

[Cyclops]

Maths used to be a Hawthorn vice, "best side since July 1971" etc, although having more than one great era has calmed them down, they have more than rort flags to hang their hats on.

Now its more Catlton and Richmond types, trying to align slices of success in their "deserts of vast eternity" to create an illusion of big boyness.

The Pies presence in finals is unchanging, and our success "vaster than empires, and more slow". Others are gifted rorted flags, and it is from us those were stolen.

To win the flag, first you must beat Collingwood. True for thirteen decades, should be true again this year.

Of course you need top end senior talent.
But what we are talking about do Collingwood need to start building AFL top end talent now.
No one’s winning a premiership with a team of Ned Longs

All clubs have had success with rookie and late picks it’s not exclusive to any one club.

Good teams are ALWAYS trying to bring in good senior talent and also develop young kids.

Clubs that have completely stuffed things up decide to be shit for 5+ years and sell themselves as a development club, stock piling draft picks (most of which don't make it).

 

[Obeanie1]

The death riding is a real thing.

They would like nothing better than to see the team we've all seen play in 1 of every 3 Grand Finals since the beginning of time, be out of contention for a handful of consecutive years....

Imagine that?

Or its just the AFL cycle.

Cant stay up forever. Some Pies fans think the AFL cycle doesnt apply to them simply because they are Collingwood.

Pretending your club never needs to rebuild is a form of trolling as well IMO.

So Collingwood, Geelong and Sydney are trolling the AFL system....

Sydney?

Has Collingwood never needed to drop away for a period of time to refresh?

Geelong rode that father son wave for over a decade.

And if Nick Daicos didnt happen exactly where would Collingwood be?

Thats father son luck, not something you can bank on being repeatable over a long period.

Yeah using the 1950’s as a reference as to why they won’t need to build their list.
