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

Just follow our lead mate.
Where's the confusion, its what always gets said about us.....so they can get us either way!
Pies people know better.

I'll make it real simple for you.
The Pies list strategy means Collingwood must make a grand final to justify their list management strategy of ignoring the pointy end of the draft, hanging onto blokes until they're 40 and trading in or bringing in B-graders via free agency.
It doesn't mean anyone actually expects them to get there.
So our list is only gonna continue to get better?
Awesome!
A Premiership the pass mark at the start of the year in an 18 team competition - that is some sort of a dominant team!
How's your list going to get better? You're losing A graders(in the past) and replacing them with B/C graders.
The cliff may not come as fast as others but the slope is down, not up.
You might be a bit dense here to understand but like plenty of clubs who went all in on an ancient list, their pass mark has to be basically winning a flag or bust.
That doesn't mean said clubs actually end up with the list capable of achieving a flag.
Believe me, the 'bust' part of that is incredibly bad.

I'll have to pull you up on that mate, the cliff is coming very quickly.
None of those young players are going to be the cornerstone of your club.
Not sure why you think this is any kind of positive.
They haven't played the games because they've either been drafted with late picks, or they're simply no good to begin with.
It's not normal for clubs to be relying on blokes over the age of 35 to keep them in contention.
Yeah, Collingwood are really unfortunate that Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Elliott have been as good as they have for as long as they have.
I wish we had have cut them years ago for some speculative kids, so that we didn't contend for the flag in 3 of the past 4 seasons, and expectations for 2026 weren't as great....
You don't see the issue relying on a 33yo small forward kicking most of your goals with nobody else below him to pick up the slack?

Well, he did just kick 60 goals this season. Almost twice as many as the next bloke.
I guess Mihocek could help out?
Oh wait... Sorry.
Membrey then?
Is Hill back at the club?
Maybe McRae will give McStay a reprieve from the VFL to have another shot at the senior side?
Buller's 11 AFL goals this season may double, I suppose.
True.
A free AFL berth at Richmond was that unattractive that old Malcolm chose to play 2nds for Sydney.
I'd be stoked if Cripps kicked 60 goals this year. Wouldn't have move us up the ladder much though.
Maybe the man just wanted to live in Sydney
Not sure why you thinking a Collingwood reject is going to be a player for the eagles but a kid at Collingwood wont make it
atleast the pies kids have champions to learn from compared to the eagles kids who have Jack Graham, Liam Duggan and Cole.
