Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

Another that the Pies had enough of due to his off field drama. Ginnivan pushed out by Collingwood, rather than him initiating a move.
That is the real issue. You lost 3 players last season (66 games for 2025) and you're going to lose than many games conceivably for another 2-3 seasons in a row. That's 3 players a year you need to turn over around 10-12 players and find AFL level replacements. This is after a very lean period of drafting which doesn't appear to have been fixed yet although it is always impossible to tell the last 2 years until 2 years in the future unless they are very good.
I don't think the Pies should start trading old blokes for more capital but I would be worried about replacing the recruiting team and I'd stop trading first rounders.
TdK said this did he ? Id like to see the reference to this quote

He was one that did actually want out, another was Daisy Thomas, but that was what more than a decade ago.
I am surprised Walshy ain't listed Cox as one of his examples
A fair difference between the Pies pushing unwanted players out the door and Carlton unable to keep wanted players.
If you want a recent example of a Pie that wanted out - Henry who wanted to go to Geelong.
Just stupid rattling off players who the club pushed out.
So no reference to TDK saying he wanted to get out of that shithole, to his manager then. Just confirming the nonsense that some people say and make out as gospel.
Btw, this is not the banter thread - thats the place to reference lies and innuendo .
Pies telling Ginni to explore your options ain't the same as TDK accepting a Free Agent Offer and telling Carlton he is going.
Pies, like all good clubs, are continually rebuilding.
We are smart enough to understand that you don't want to ditch the senior players and finish rock bottom anymore....the reward for a horrible season just ain't there anymore.
Using your silly logic, should do the same with Cripps, Carlton should have moved him on and getting some more picks for youth for the future.
I hope all Pies players are flag chasing.
Carlton players with the culture of $ chasing
Not many neutrals thought we were much of a chance of doing anything in 2022 either.
Having strong leadership around the club from ultra professionals like Pendles can only be a good thing for kids coming in.
Lol, every single one of them got shown the door.
Except that Cripps doesnt turn up to pre season appearing to look out of shape, isnt always injured either, plus one is a club captain. Comparing them is "silly logic"
Correct, we couldn't wait to get Grundy out the door, so much so that we were willing to pay half his wages.

Crippa is banged up and past his best. Carlton aren't winning anything with his anytime soon. Personally think Carlton would have been better off shopping Crippa around and getting a couple of decent picks for him for an injection of youth for the future.
West coast will fork up plenty in year or 2 when the time is right. For now, we will keep a close eye on Cody and trade up a few more 2nd round picks in next years draft for another top 5 selection. Im sure the club is all over keeping an eye on the future.
Now, where's that reference to tdk calling carlton a shit hole that you mentioned, or do you admit that it actually didnt happen ?
Just the usual ridiculous nuffie stuff from Walshy.
But it shows how we constantly are turning over, and rebuilding the list.
Some 20+ senior blokes we have moved on since 2020, majority of the blokes played in many big finals for the Pies.
B.Reid, Varcoe, Beams, L.Dunn, Treloar, Phillips, Mayne, Greenwood, J.Thomas, Sier, Roughead, Grundy, Adams, N.Murphy, Markov, J.Noble, Cox, WHE, Mihocek, A.Johnson, T.Mitchell
WC would get him as a coach for nought is 2 years.
Poor Wormy.
Where did I note a TDK quote? You are looking for something that ain't there.
The point, which is a bit too hard for you is, players actively engage with other clubs in order to leave Carlton.
The players you and Walshy listed were all players Collingwood pushed out.
It took others to identify some actual equivalent players who we lost that we may have wanted to keep.
Richards ?
It's quite amazing that Carlton supporters equate the departure of these players - all of whom had any choice of whether to stay or go taken out of their hands - with the exodus of TDK, Curnow and Silvagni who couldn't get out of Carlton quick enough.
We know in hindsight that after Collingwood made the decision to move on Treloar, Grundy and Stephenson, we have contended for the flag 3 times in 4 years, winning one.
Let's see the impact of Curnow, TDK and Silvagni's departures over the next few years...

Why are you focussing on TDK when the comment was a general one about 'Carlton players'?
