No he didn't
On the topic of 400k list cloggers
The simple solution to get the journos of our back is don't play Cloke in the magoos. He's best 22 for us and the best partner we had for Moore.
The only band aid that needs ripping off is Buckley.
Whack!!
Point is that at the end of 2014 we had two young developing rucks, Witts 22 and Grundy 20 at the time.
Grundy showed in 2013 with his debut games that he maybe something special.
Witts in 2014 assumed the mantle as preferred number 1 ruck.
We often tried playing both of them in the same team, and yes it was of limited immediate impact...but for two young talls almost as expected.
Clearly the plan was to try to accomodate both in the best 22.
So in terms of list management for Ruck/KPF we had both of those guys as highly rated young prospects at the time of the draft.
Witts had shoulder surgery in that off-season, and hasnt been able to actually improve on the form he showed in 2014...which is always a problem when trying to predict how young talls will develop.
Just like there is no gaurantee that guys like Wright or Lobb will actually blossom into a T.Lynch type of player...for every Lynch there is a Vickery!!
That's alright, I thought it wasn't going to happen. Happy to hit the draft next year.
Why are we ignoring the elephant in the room? Nate Fyfe -welcome to Collingwood .
I'm not saying it will happen but you can still trade a contracted player, so I'm still going to hope and pray that the improbable happens and we see a welcome T.Lynch thread next trade period!
Sigh.

Got Enough Mids and Fyfe is not the Best Kick
I wanted to draft 2m Pete in his draft year but I was not keen on trading him in if it ment trading out of the 2017 draft which is stacked with KPPs. Happy with the result all round, incidentally I'm a big De Goey fan too!

There's some good talls in the draft next year? That's fantastic.
We'll just have to finish out of finals again to gain access to them because Collingwood has a serious inability to trade aggressively or creatively to get us a decent pick. Really looking forward to another year without finals, hopefully a speculative 18 year old will help me feel better

Atleast we can get an instant impact. Get a new kid in and we're 3-4 years away. Be time for a new rebuild by then!Better that than overpaying for a somewhat speculative 21yo! All I can say is phew

Tom Lynch would have said no to "co-captain" if he was inclined to leaving, and the Suns would have handed it to Steven May.
Especially when Eade came out and said that he wasn't fan of the concept of co-captains.

Yep at the wrong price. Unfortunately instant gratification for the wrong reasons would have gotten us nowhere. We need to take our pill and own being s**t for the time being until the real change comes along!

Next trade period chase another Sun in Saad from suns instead... We will need some more run out of the backline
Sam Hayes is the forward we need in 2017. Remember the name because he's a gun.

Was he the 1 that Played for Vic Metro at the U-18 Champs this Year?
Long way out, a lot can change from now and November next year but he did have some good championship games. Looks like he needs to work on his pace and bulk. Could be definitely someone we can target.
Tall, skinny with long blonde hair. Made the AA side I'm pretty sure.

Its not beyond the realm of possibility that we'll hold that pick next year.
