Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
If we get Stephenson to help the Pies then fine.
Ok. Salary dump. I get it.
But if we give a pick below Higgins 30......
.........not happy.

Yep, they are like Geelong and * in that underhanded respect.Haven't you heard varying degrees of they're difficult and they're wanted stories throughout the media?
I don't have the slightest doubt that Collingwood are inserting them to cover themselves each way depending on how it plays out.
Normally I may entertain the idea but I think in North's situation I'd be more than happy to get the development into a younger player than have another first round pick death train like we had with Melbourne.Parking the Stephenson issue to the side, I’d easily swap 11 for the pies first next year.
Easily.
Pick 11 will be pick 14 by the time we use it.
And will probably turn out for a like for like swap next year with less academies.
Plus u have the chance of the ass falling out of the pies and the pick being an upgrade, and in a draft with much greater visibility.
Be mad not to imo.
I think Adelaide can/will offer better. They hold the trump card with pick 1.Would 25 and 31 be enough for bulldogs 14?
26 for JS.
Irrelevant to us.Pick 11 will be pick 14 by the time we use it.

Forgot about the whole no trades before 3pm thing tomorrow. Agonising wait and conjecture abound

Stephenson was not even on the table 24 hours ago and we were happy to take our picks and trades received for Brown and Higgins to the draft, or to upgrade current picks.
This opportunity has simply dropped into our laps, in no way do I see us being desperate enough to overpay, we have read the situation and will walk away if the deal isn’t right.
Collingwood are not holding the cards here.
So not sure why everyone is getting so twisted about this.
We have done the right thing by Higgo, received fair compensation, and will do the Stephenson deal only if it works.
They are not related.
Otherwise we say thanks but no thanks, walk away and leave them holding the can.
Spot f****** on.
- Stephenson isn’t someone we desperately need, he’s a nice to have given where we are at.
- Pick 2 and 11 are untouchable.
- If the pies want a salary dump, we can help. If they want a good pick and a salary dump, think again, move on.
It will still be the 11th best non-academy player, there are going to be academy players next year, Daicos will go very high.
We have put a line through the academy players a long time ago, there is still a lot of talent there, Twomey who has generally been good with his first round phantom drafts hasn't even got O'Driscoll in his top 25, still a lot of talent in this draft. We can't turn 2019 pick 8 into 2020 pick 11 into pick 2021 pick 14+ we are going backwards and have lost two development years. We could have got Serong with pick 8, we need to make this draft count. I am happy with who we got last year but we need as much talent as humanly possible and right now.

He would suck it up and call his tattooist and get his 'HIGGO' tatt changed into a 'STEVO' tatt ala Johnny Depp.How pissed would Jed be if this were true?
So we've got 2 and we need to potentially replace 9 more?
