Regardless of what happens - Take comfort in knowing that Joyce would have accepted the following...

Geelong - Higgins
North - Narkle

Melbourne - Ben Brown
North - Pick 43 & Alex Neale-Bullen
a pick and 3 blokes, whats not to like?

And that Brad would have played both recycled players in the Round 1 2021 team regardless of pre-season form.

If Preuss is worth 31 they cannot possibly be trying to give us 33 for Browny. That'd be borderline indictable levels of fraud.


It would be absurd to the point that folks shouldn't even entertain it.
 
If we had decided that Brown needed to be moved on, how should they have handled it?

I think that Collingwood is showing that these situations are not easy to manage well.
We could have simply offered less than the original offer (say 600k per season over 2 years), given that offer wasn't accepted in a timely manner, and then make a public statement that we have a contract dispute and while that's not resolved, Brown is free to explore his options. That way there would be a path for him to stay, even though in reality we weren't going down that path, and he wouldn't want to stay on those terms.

The messaging all along is that Melbourne weren't willing to put Pick 26 on the table for Browny.

Messaging from who?

A couple of media ****wits?
 
Update - Dees board also aligned with AFL Media... “33 for Brown and keep 26 & 31”

Going to be some serious ring sting if they give us two of those picks (especially 26).

Hope we're going after all their 2nd rounders now.

It'll be trade week dusk soon.. we walk away and we've got a disenfranchised player who'll end up in the PSD.

They walk away and it's "hit 2021 desperate for success sans a key forward".

Hope so. Then have a crack at the Dogs’ pick 14.

Worst case we're swinging 4 2nd rounders plus whatever comes via Higgins around.

Hopefully Brady has pushed the ambit claim as 3 x 2020 2nd rounder + a future with a fallback position of taking away the future pick.
 
Sorry I was too busy laughing at all the people making decisions with the benefit of hindsight.

1. No one wanted Preuss at the time. No one. TAO can confirm that (as evidenced by his comments below).
2. No one knew Tyson would make Garner look like the picture of good health.
3. No one knew GWS would continue its trend of recruiting barely usable ruckmen -> Jacobs gone and a 34 year old mumford hanging by a thread. They are clearly desperate.

We no likey Preuss, we were going to pay him out, some sh*t I'd suggest had gone down. Dees offered a bloke and we accepted it. Got something for nothing. A bit like a Bangkok brothel I'd suggest!
He wasn't liked at the club, was always gone regardless.
Just for the record and it is the record.....

North were going to delist Preuss, sometimes players are de-listed even if they're seen as the second option should an injury occur to their first choice.

So when the Dees offered up Tyson North took it as a freebie, now I'm not saying we got it wrong or right, just that's what happened.

It's expected. Of all forms of wisdom, hindsight is the most unforgiving. Everyone is a genius when the future has played out in front of them and the variables has changed/forgotten.
 
Hope so. Then have a crack at the Dogs’ pick 14.


That should romp it in.

26, 33, 63 & 70 for 14 could get it done (= +282 points to the dogs).

We bank 31. Otherwise, we bid on JUH with pick 2 and **** them up.

We go to the draft with 2, 11, 14, 20 (Higgo upgrade) & 31
