Give us your rigorous analysis of picks 8 and 15 historically...

Poster(s) in this thread deem 5, 21 and 25 to be an equitable deal. To not facilitate a compassionate trade over a 9 pick upgrade in the second round is pretty low, nonetheless.

Has an individual player been traded for three picks inside 25 before? FMD. This Dale Beams guy must be the best player in the comp.

Kingy y u do dis. 5+25 is commensurate with deals for like players.

Is it though? In your view receiving the lethal injection is better than pick 5 given the history of previous players drafted at that spot. Surely pick 8 is far worse and 15 basically worthless?

GC wouldn't do that. Not that Prestia is worth as much as Beams (he isn't), but you just don't deal star young players who are quite happy at their club. Name the last time this happened. You can't knock back a very reasonable deal made by Brisbane and then counter with something GC wouldn't...

So you want, roughly, picks 5, 25 and Greenwood for Beams. Wow.

So all you're haggling about then is a 9 pick upgrade in the second round? Splitting hairs innit?

Beams. But if he wanted to leave the club for compassionate reasons as is the case here, I'd happily take a top 5 pick and 2nd rounder, thank him for his service and respect his desire to go home to his family . How do you determine if this unders btw? What are previous trades for similar...

Again, it is not pick 5 only, it is players available at that pick, within reason. Even limit it to picks 5-8 if you want. Do you think Collingwood would have only picked the same players picked at 5 since 2005, given the same pick each year? No, they would have been picking the player that they...

Mate (yman), that's all very fair but we're not talking about guys picked in the fifth round. The type of player who is picked at or around pick 5 in recent years can really improve your list (well, replace Beams). It's not a guarantee, sure, but it is just about as good as you can get. To...

You're suggesting that pick 5 isn't good enough as it is a bit of a lottery, you could do this for all draft picks including even pick 1. No draft pick guarantees you a better player than Beams, which is what you are demanding. You could've picked Aish with the same pick last year, Ollie...

You're probably spitting that Aish isn't included in the deal, picked at 7 last year. Pick is 5 is so bad.

Effectively what you're saying is that no deal containing draft picks for a proven player will ever be worthwhile. This is obviously very questionable.

Cherry picking the guys selected in those positions doesn't stand up to critical analysis. You should be looking at the best players picked in the 5-10 range over that period of time. Opportunity to pick up the 5th best talent in the country (and potentially better if someone slides or Coll...

5 and 25 is quite a reasonable deal for Beams.

Or, we could hold onto Clurey who will be ready to play some good footy next year onwards. He's two years in, there is no need to set the reset button and develop someone else, we are not in draft pick accumulation mode. Besides, it matters little what player a board on BigFooty have identified...

1st and 2nd or 1st and Butcher or Newton. I could live with either.

Pure midfielders I'd hope

Did you play for them CBA?

Well, it's pretty logicial isn't it? What's the alternative... giving the best kids to the best club?

He did indeed attend Westminster.

Considering we got Choppy for a 1st and 2nd and Cankles for a 2nd and 3rd, that seems about right. If we're going to on-trade them, we better do it right.

...and that is exactly why we shouldn't be involving you.

The trade would be MJ, Nash and 11 to Port, Carr to Freo, Dunn and 19 (if you're lucky...) to Essendon. Still sucks donkey balls.

Choco - JUST SAY NO.

Probably not. By trading White we're definitely going to be on the bad side of the equation, as he just hasn't been given the opportunity to strut his stuff as yet, due to some strange selection anomalies. Had he played 22+ games this season, we'd be looking at a far higher value. As it happens...

Seconded. We don't need any more contenders for full back...

Re: Re: Lote Tuqiri Yeah, up with Rob Lowe singing 'Good Ol Collingwood Forever', hey?

If Morrison was a future legitimate CHF superhypermegastar like the Collingwood populous of this site would have us believe, he'd have gone #2. Simple. Had he gone to another team, he'd simply be another name to you guys.
