NO! You mean the final outcome is what anyone with the slightest bit of logic could see from a mile away?

Pies would be nuts not to try and trade up a few spots.Love to see a bid for McInnes come before 14.

To be honest about it.Well if the idea is to significantly reduce salary, what other options are there, but to trade for draft picks?
The Treloar stuff really doesn’t portray the leadership group in a very good light either if true.To be honest about it.
Everyone accepts that players had to be sold at this point, but telling Treloar and Stephenson that senior players wanted them out, they were hard to coach and the hadn’t ingratiated themselves with teammates - and informing them via management that they were up for trade - is really poor. Pretending that Collingwood chose to sell them to get into the draft is even worse.
They have time to work out next years pick. But yeah might try move it on this year. But they’ll want to get in before their academy kid this year.Pies will want to move out of next years first round, given Daicos is already touted as a top 5 pick.
I've said this elsewhere, but my personal opinion is that they had DeGoey earmarked as the 'sacrifice' that would be let go to keep all (or most) of the others. North were previously prepared to pay squillions for him, so they had at least one suitor prepared to take all his salary off the books.
Then JDG's sexual assault allegations came up and blew those plans out of the water, leaving them scrambling to find other player(s) to let go instead.
Love to see a bid for McInnes come before 14.
They gave us most of their later picks though. Someone like the Crows/North could get a very good deal.They would live trade 14 out in the 5 mins before they match the bid if that happens.

The salt
If you hadn’t mismanaged your TPP, you wouldnt have traded three good players for 25c on the dollar.
The leadership group also seem to have a different take on it from Buckley as well. Buckley saying the leadership group don’t want him, the leadership group reaching out to AT saying not true.‘They’d say anything to move me on’: Adam Treloar refutes Buckley, Pies claims in ugly divorce
‘They’d say anything to move me on’: Treloar accuses Bucks, Pies of lying in ugly divorcewww.foxsports.com.au
Omg...Treloar confirming Buckley DID say to him that other senior Collingwood players don't want him around...and is saying that they were up for a fight to push him out. They weren't just pushing him out the door, they were putting up barricades once he had a foot out.
So that response from Buckley to Edmund who broke the story was a lie. Edmund said he was sticking with his story and he was right. Collingwood full of lies and spin right now.
Treloar has actually played this well
Apparently he hasn't spoken to any other club, nor should he have to either
Collingwood offering to pay a measley 100k of a 900k per year contract isn't going to have many takers
I think it will play out that Treloar stays put, and Collingwood are going to have to hire an epic PR/spin doctor to try and undo the damage this has caused for future recruitment. If you are someone on the sidelines watching this, how could you possibly believe that any back ended deal offered from the club holds any weight?
Heads rightfully should roll after this fiasco

Has to be bored schoolkids who run this page lpl
im lazy, got a link to the calculation?Pies traded Treloar out for (150 points) the equivalent of pick 65 and will still be paying a third of his wage. Trading doesn't get any worse than that.
Because it throws two players who have done nothing wrong - one of whom is only 20 and the other who has well documented mental health issues - completely under the bus.To be honest, I couldn't care less what spin the media or the club put on it. I'm not sure why opposition supporters would either.
I can see what the objective was, and I'm comfortable with the outcome. I can foresee a way that it could make us a better side going forward, too. IMO, it's not nearly the "loss" some are making it out to be.
So any criticism seems to involve changing the past, prior to the trade period. We were where we were by that stage, for better or worse.
Rewinding to the start of the trade period, what would you have done differently from a Collingwood perspective, in the situation you were in? Would you have been able to somehow extract a greater return?

I would have traded de Goey.I don’t have to tell you how I’d fix it. That doesn‘t invalidate my criticism by any means.
Collingwood would have know this was coming down the pipeline for months. How many times did Treloar restructure his contract? And you signed the artist formerly known as Dayne Beams, gave a massive extension to a player the clubs was unhappy with (Stevenson). Who oversees this? To whom does Ned Guy report?PLAYERCARDSTART11Dayne Beams

If Ned Guy has this job after the draft, I’d be staggered.
