    Traded Adam Cerra traded to Carlton for pick #6 and F3

    Over the last few years we've traded in Cerra/Hewett/Williams/Saad/Martin. In terms of bringing players into your team via trade it's a pretty good list. We now need an actual game plan to get the most out of those players.

    Recommitted Lachie Neale [OOC 2023 - Will honour his contract]

    The issue is they are contenders right now going off their finishes the last few years. Losing Neale sets them back in the short term.

    Recommitted Josh Kelly [will be a GIANT for life, has signed 8 year extension]

    Clubs need to learn not to give these ridiculous contracts...7+ years is a loooong time and every chance a players form drops and output doesn't match the price tag. The game itself changes alot in 7 years with all the rule changes etc. Always the risk of injuries too. Kelly, coniglio, Grundy...

    Club Focus Collingwood 2020 - Henry, Macrae, McInnes, Poulter, McMahon, McCreery

    How do they not realise it would be so much better to just say that yes some of these decisions were to get our salary cap in a much better position moving forward, use that to talk about retaining and attracting players in the future and then maybe the draft a little bit...instead of straight...

    Club Focus Collingwood 2020 - Henry, Macrae, McInnes, Poulter, McMahon, McCreery

    So...more lies from the Collingwood hierarchy. Sad to hear for their supporters. I mean it's just ludicrous for him to say that their salary cap issues are overblown and that their main motivation was to get into this draft...based on their trading that is obviously a lie. They didn't even get...

    Traded Adam Treloar [traded with #26, #33 and #42 to Bulldogs for #14 and 2021 R2]

    Yep not only are some of the contracts being handed out horrendous, the treatment of players has been equally poor which will hurt the culture. Treloar's manager said they only found out Collingwood wanted to trade him 3-4 weeks ago...he basically said that wasn't enough time to properly find a...

    Traded Adam Treloar [traded with #26, #33 and #42 to Bulldogs for #14 and 2021 R2]

    Says it all doesn't it? Wells - Was never worth a 3 year contract on decent coin given his age and injury history. Only played 15 games for Collingwood. Pointless. Mayne - Has played a bit of a role lately but still not the kind of player worth a 4 year, $500k contract. Beams - Absolute...

    Traded Adam Treloar [traded with #26, #33 and #42 to Bulldogs for #14 and 2021 R2]

    Boy just listened to the Ned Guy interview on Fox Footy...train wreck. Fumbling for excuses and I like that the hosts went hard at him. Would have been so much better if he had just made some admissions that they didn't get the return they were after for the players that went out, instead of...

    Traded Adam Treloar [traded with #26, #33 and #42 to Bulldogs for #14 and 2021 R2]

    How's this attempted spin from Ned Guy...oh boy they don't think much of their fanbase do they? "On behalf of Collingwood I would like to thank Adam for his service. He was a committed and strong performer for us and we wish him well. For some time we have held the view that this year’s draft...

    Traded Jaidyn Stephenson [traded with Bosenavulagi and #39 to North for #26, #33 and 2021 R4]

    Lol so how long has this deal been already agreed to

    Traded Jaidyn Stephenson [traded with Bosenavulagi and #39 to North for #26, #33 and 2021 R4]

    They probably accepted unders for Brown knowing they could forward it on for Stephenson and Atu, making it a good outcome in the end so it makes sense now. Collingwood on the other hand...

    Traded Ben Brown [Traded to Melbourne with #28 and Future 4th Round Pick for #26, #33 and Future 4th Round Pick]

    Lol 1 poor season where he suffered an injury, hub life affecting people differently and his unborn kid passed away...after kicking 60+ goals the 3 years prior. Sure let's just ship him off for peanuts.

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    I think we can console ourselves with the fact pick 8 will likely be pushed to pick 10 and the fact most draftees haven't played for 12 months, and the ones who have played a bit didn't play against top prospects, will make it even harder than usual to nail draft picks. If there was a year to...

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    The article states Dodo wants pick 8 and a 4th rounder for Saad & a 3rd...so he won't even accept Pick 8 for Saad & a third which I think everyone can agree is a good deal for Essendon. But no even for that Dodo wants a 4th rounder back. He's a tool. There's no way we ever agreed to that but...

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    wow so much Essendon spin in this...clearly Essendon feeding this to the media. So Dodo wants a 4th back and won't even give a 3rd straight up with Saad? He's taking the piss.

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    It's sad that Essendon clearly keep feeding media info to paint them as the good guys/victims and other teams as the stubborn unreasonable ones. The headline has changed from Carlton backing out to Essendon thought they had a deal done...so clearly the info is from Essendon's point of...

    Traded Peter Wright [Traded to Essendon for 2021 R4 pick]

    Certainly some concerns around his impact as a KPF...seems a bit like Schache/Gorringe in that he has nice skills but isn't that aggressive, crash packs or take contested marks...which I assume is why his value is so low. Still, for a 4th round pick and with GC paying some salary it's well...

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    That's definitely fair and a deal where both teams can walk away reasonably satisfied and sell it to their members.

    Traded Jesse Hogan [Traded to GWS for Pick #54]

    Was always a huge risk given Hogan's injury and personal issues. The real kicker is they could have drafted B King. s**t job by their list management team, but good on Justin Longmuire coming in and ridding the club of conditional, lazy players like Hogan, Bennell, McCarthy & Matera. It's...

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    I'm OK with pick 8 for Saad & either your 2021 2nd rounder or if you can get an early 20s pick from Port.

    Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

    For Essendon yes, I wonder if it would be preferable for us...we could back ourselves to rise up the ladder but there's always a risk we don't. Personally I'd prefer we trade 8 as I think it's devalued given a lot of the top prospects from VIC didn't play/develop...I'd rather keep our 2021 1st...

    Free Agency Joe Daniher [RFA to Brisbane for 1st round compensation pick]

    You just got lucky...even most Essendon supporters are surprised to get pick 7. But was a bad choice to turn down what could have been pick 9 and 3. But you go on being happy with how your club is going.

    Free Agency Zac Williams [joins Carlton as an RFA for a 1st round compensation pick]

    And up until that article, it had been reported as a 5 year deal...now suddenly 6. If true i'm not happy with that contract. But i'm hoping it's one of these situations:

    That's unders Surrey. Especially in this year's draft.

    Free Agency Zac Williams [joins Carlton as an RFA for a 1st round compensation pick]

    If we've paid $900k I'm not happy...FA always command overs but that's way too much. I've seen other reports say $750k though...and as a Carlton fan i'll choose to believe those ;)

    Free Agency Zac Williams [joins Carlton as an RFA for a 1st round compensation pick]

    Conflicting reports, Tom Morris has said previously $850-900k but a few other journos have said more like $750k. If it's $750k over 5 years, I think that's pretty reasonable considering he's a FA (usually pay a bit overs) and there's no way GWS will match it as they'll get pick 9 compo so we...

    Free Agency Rory Atkins [UFA to Gold Coast for end of 2nd round compensation pick]

    The guy is pretty soft...has shown it time and time again at Adelaide in big, tough games. I'm pretty surprised GC went after him with a pretty decent contract, thought might be able to play someone better in that wing position.
