i've heard that senior players have read this thread and have been hugely motivated by it and have vowed to hit training hard and win the 2021 premiership for the fans. It's a huge relief for me...
So where does the improvement come from next year?
The forward line was an absolute disgrace this year and we haven’t added to that area of the field so we are only going to get worse there
The backline will remain very strong while there is some upside to the middle. If we can get DeGoey through there and Sier back to 2018 form, plus further development from Tyler Brown.
The problem losing Treloar and Phillips is depth it’s really an area we can be exposed now.
Up forward Stevo is one that we would of hoped to see return to 2018/19 form when he was fully over the glandular and out of the hub. Ruscoe is the only player with any improvement ahead of him in that group now

Thanks for the Laugh
Couple of really interesting points here. Some I agree with and some where I have a differing view. Before I give my thoughts though I feel it’s important to state I hate the way we went about this trade period, how it looks like we treated some players but also I’m glad we took some action and didn’t use hub life as an excuse to cover deficiencies.
Agree wholeheartedly that our best year coincided with that particular coaching panel, probably more so Hocking and Longmuir. Sanderson and Harvey can not continue in the roles from this year as it was just horrid and I hope we change our coaching mix.
Our game plan did rely on possession and we did trade away a great ball winner but maybe not one who helped us retain possession or worked defensively the way we wanted. That said I would have retained and worked on that.
I think our forward line worked best this year with a mix of three talls and DeGoey. I hope DeGoey plays more midfield but I’m guessing we decided we could run with maybe only one medium size coming out of the square and went with Jordy over Jaidyn.
Consistency of game plan and being able to move the ball better is in my mind going to be a bigger issue than Treloar and Stevo out.
It’s unpopular on this board maybe but I’m a bit balanced about this whole thing. As I said I hate how we went about it but I kind of get why we had to. We should have just owned our mistakes and got more in return.
If you take out Treloar and Stevo from the first final team but put Sidey, Howe, Sier and a refreshed Grundy back in I don’t see us sliding too far.... but also struggling for Top 4.
The draft is key here. If we nail it like we did with Thomas and Pendles, or Reid and Brown, then hindsight will be kind. Another draft of Shaz and Freeman though could lead to a world of hurt.

I have to agree with you, as much as the trades stung us. Barring injuries we still have a top 4 list.
Ed and bucks or media sheep, I know what I’d prefer to be. The reality is I’m neither personally.
Pretty s**t trade period but we had to cut our losses and address the mistakes of the past. Good definitely be better, but also worse.
Everybody calling for Eddy’s head, who will you replace him with and do you guarantee it will be better? Change doesn’t automatically guarantee success. We’ve played in a grand final and prelim in the last three years...had the toughest schedule and injuries this year and still won a final against the raging hot West Coast at home. It’s not all doom and gloom, have a think before relying to much on the fake news media for your thoughts.

I assume this thread is a joke and will be treated as such.
We haven't landed a big fish for years. Why would the Bont leave behind the captaincy of a club most believe will be a flag contender for the next few years? I don't want Merrett-a tiny midfielder in an era where they get bigger every year. Do you seriously believe the Carlton captain will come across to Collingwood when they will also be on the cusp of playing in the finals ( or already there) with all of their recent recruiting? Why would we want Gawn? Will Grundy spend the last five years of his contract playing at full forward? We are more likely to lose DeGoey in two years time than gain any stars.
Firstly, Treloar's ball use has deteriorated because he's being played out of position he is not an inside mid, he's being put there because of our deplorable list management and development has forced hand. Like Moore in the backline, could be a great or even generational key forward but no, f*n Collingwood amateur hour has put paid to that.
Secondly, forget about Sides, Howe and the bear - should not be in that situation in the first place! We are immediately better with all of those players including Adz and Stevo. There is no ifs buts or maybes, we are immediately down two walk up starters in ANY team in this competition.
Everyone is talking about 'oh well we f*d up, so now we've made cap room for next year, let's move on'. How about no, f*n own it Collingwood you f*d up and should be punished. If I had the chance I'd walk up to Ed and punch that cnut in the face, I f*n hate that cnut right now and the club.
This club is gonna have to do some serious mending to it's member base, which I am no longer, that's on them. F*n own it you cnuts! redeem yourselves.
Yes I'm angry and deservedly so, I'm not the only one.
This post is a message to the club, it's on them, if you have a problem with this post then call Ed and the club it's on them not me. They deserve every harsh criticism thrown at them.
Rant over.

I’m with you on the Moore forward thing too. We’ve seen how hard it is to get yourself an elite key forward. I know he’s also elite at CHB but we’ve got an elite KPF on our list and we’re not playing him there.

One question.. Are cnuts something like pnuts but from the sea??Firstly, Treloar's ball use has deteriorated because he's being played out of position he is not an inside mid, he's being put there because of our deplorable list management and development has forced hand.

After round one perhaps.
And there's a reason for that, and it all comes back to sh1tty list management.
if we play the same game plan we will end up from 7 to 13
