why the stress?you want one of the biggest injury prone players in the afl at 550-600 over 3-4 years,in a position where we have griff,vickery,mcbean,and mckenzie,and elton for that matter.would never say no to him but im not going to lose sleep over it.i actually think someone like zac smith as a young out and out apprentice to maric would be better anyway.

No way would I pay Kruezer anywhere near $500k...plays 10 games a season if we are lucky. No reason his body won't keep faulting him....harsh but true.

Plus even when u and running he has the odd good game but hardly a star. Money better spent elsewhere.

War chest my arse. Kruezer gone.

Gale on the radio saying we're going to be very active in trade week.

Beaten again. Armitage - fail. Treloar - fail. Kreuzer - fail. Dangerfield - fail. Hannerbury - fail. We couldnt even get WindyDick over the line last year. And that campaigner is a *******.

Next fail will be Bennell.
Armitage stayed at his club, not considered a fail because its not as though he left and went to another club
Hanners - As above
WindyDick - As above
Kruezer - Hasn't actually gone anywhere yet
Dangerfield - Same as Kruezer

So we have missed out on Treloar that we have targeted. ONE PLAYER.

Who has actually been in the market that we want that we have missed.

Calm down mate, theoretically Treloar is still not officially a pie either, so you are losing your shit over something that can't take place for another month

Some posters on here take every opportunity they can get to bag the Tiges... ignore them... consider them trolls.

How's about we beat who ever it is to the punch. Probably COLLINGWOOD and get Omeara this year before he becomes a free agent
thats not really possible. player managers shop their players to most clubs simply to create competitive tension in the bidding process.

The notion you can lock a player away before anyone else starts talking to them is not achieveable these day

I go the roller coaster of potential trades as much as anyone but I am glad that the club has a strategy in place that they will not deviate from.
I remember Benny saying before Free Agency was being introduced that he had learnt a lot as AFLPA CEO and looking at the various systems in the USA.
He spoke about the danger of the lure of the high profile trade and that history said it was generally better to trade to fill holes in the list, not for stars.
Obviously, Hawthorn have generally done this and bought cheaply.
Time will tell if it successful with us but we won't be an attractive proposition for players until we can prove ourselves a good finals team.

Whats your mail?

JFYI over here most of this started yesterday when the Ox said he had failed a Pies medical around 4-4:30. People were not shocked by this because of (1) his history, and (2) a rumour from another board he had also failed a Dogs medical.

Later after 7pm on Sports Tonight Sam McClure said he had been contacted by Kruze's management, and he has not had a medical yet.

Now I know Ox is a dunce, but player managers do lie. If you have any mail that can clarify the weighting on this, be great to hear what you have heard

Knobs on here are saying to chill the **** out over missing out on trade targets... and then say Richardson and Hartley are genius's with an 'art of the pokjer face'.

How the **** do you work that out??? I dont recall other clubs being gutted about missing out on Thomas, Miles, Pettard, Knights and co.

These two are ******* overrated. And so it T71. Epic failures.
we are the only club that wanted the above players, there all basically delisted from other clubs not afl stars at the time we got them.

Collingwood know they can't be the best football team atm, they know they aren't the biggest club anymore.....

People are starting to not hate them!!

Poaching all the players from other teams, despite paying them overs....is a way to make opposition clubs still despise them. They are worried that the opposition clubs are going to hate us more than them too!

Collingwood fast becoming "Everyone's second favourite team"!!

Nah, I'm just saying he's had medicals at clubs
A Pie supporter said he's passed one at their club
Pointless arguing over semantics
Its actually an issue because his management has denied it. If thats the case, I'd be asking why they'd lie, and the most likely reason is they have gone south (at least one of them anyway)

Because teams are still playing finals and it would be disrespectful to comment on the list management of clubs while they're still in finals
