Chris Mayne to Collingwood for 4 years at $500K?! Am I missing something?

Along with 3 years at $600K for an ageing injury prone Wells, there's some weird things going on at Pieland.

Go home Collingwood. You're drunk.

Mayne partnering with Jessie White up forward, yep that looks dangerous
 
I agree we should have gone harder last year, but we hold no bargaining power this year

This is one of the reasons why some Crows fans are bitter towards that campaigner. At least if he left and were fairly compensated I don't think anyone would begrudge him going home.

Danger was worth two top 10 draft picks as a minimum.

It was an appalling piece of negotiation on our part, can't change it now though

Rolling over so early in trade week is what pissed me off.

Cats were desperate to get him. We should have held back and rolled the dice.

Yes we can't change it now, but it sets the standard of how we negotiate during trade week.

What pissed me off was "we can't ask for next years first Rd pick as they need that to get Henderson"

That's what jacked me off the most. The audacity they had to think they could use that for him and not even remotely consider that we would want that for Dangerfield.

With their ageing list if they don't grab a flag within the next couple of years they are screwed. Let's not forget they were gift wrapped a beautiful draw this year. Ironically they smashed the Dogs comfortably in 2016.

It's called 'Buckley trying to trade his way out of a downward slide so he can hide behind improved results' This is not trading for a premiership tilt, its trading for Buckleys coaching career. Pies fans should be furious with this sort of money being thrown around for a B grader and an injury prone player that has lost his ability to impact games.

Buckley will sell the Club in order to keep his job. He will roll the dice and set it back years if it means he can gain another contract.

Apparently they want Deledio too, how will they trade for him when they don't have this years first rounder or another first rounder from the next two years to trade out?

At the end of Sheedy's coaching career at Essendon he was doing the same thing. There are thoughts that Geelong are going down this route. Geelong need to draft in talent but seem hell bent on trading it in.

He is playing the odds because he was a top 4 pick.

Players outside GWS' best 22 are basically a fire sale. They don't have cap space to retain them, and they have enough first round picks that getting a low return doesn't really matter
