Has The Treloar trade already backfired for Collingwood?

[DaVillaBlues]

Not so much in getting AT who probably would be in the top 2-3 of The Pies B and F after 4 games, but more so the fact they have given up their first round pick this year (which is looking like a top 4 pick, with the Pies looking like a bottom 4 team)


And btw, this isn't like the NBA where future draft picks can be protected, GWS will be getting that pick from the Pies, no matter where Collingwood finishes.

It seems to me that Nathan Buckley's coaching ability aside, that The Pies rebuild/list regeneration hasn't gone as well as most people, esp Pies fans thought, and whilst I don't think it was wrong to get Treloar, giving up 2 first rounders, esp this year's was, and unfortunately it is going to help a growing young force in GWS get even stronger.

he'd be real disappointed not playing for richmond !!

probably should have come to the blues or another club on the way up

 

[Cadillac]

Too early to tell yet. But if they finish bottom 3 this year and the pick goes to GWS. Then questions may be asked.

 

[Soups]

If somehow we manage to finish 12 to 13th we will come out even. Anything below, we have failed. Won't be the last time someone pays overs using future picks, it's a massive gamble.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Yeah i was just discussing this with some work mates - all i can say is EAD to any player who only chooses to go to the "big 4" clubs, because well, they all suck on-field.

 

[Jesse Custer]

lol awesome thread

 

[schmuttt]

Should have gone to North if he was fair dinkum about playing in a top side.

 

[Tigerland]

He's their best player, hardly backfired.
I don't think much of their other recruits but they didn't pay the world for them.

LOL at the Norf supporter. You won't win a flag with that list but enjoy your fantasy.

 

[Kram]

Dunno, but I think Trelor leaving GWS might work out similar to his coach leaving Brisbane.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

patrick dangerfield isn't worth 2 1st rounders. no midfielder in AFL is worth that.

Probably would have been better off just staying at GWS the way things are looking lol.

Or maybe go to North Melbourne if he goes to any Victorian side

 

[numchuks]

If they finish bottom 4, don't they get to keep their future pick even if they traded it ?

 

[RUNVS]

He is worth 2 mid to late first rounders easy, he isn't worth two early first rounders which it looks like Treloar will end up costing.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Nah, no way. Treloar is an absolute gun and will only improve, a tidy player and someone you can build a midfield around. He's also, what, 22? 23? Ultimately he'll end up being in the top 10 midfielders in the league for a few years.

Buckley is just a s**t coach. Simple. And their CEO has a man crush on him so nothing'll ever happen. This is how you create a toxic, long term stagnant culture around a club, ala Richmond, St Kilda, Freo's looking that way now.

 

[Underdog]

Best player at the club (2016) who's just turned 23 and got traded in for picks 7 and 3/4.

I hardly think Collingwood would be devastated. At worst it's a pretty even trade.

 

[Van_Dyke]

From memory, they keep the pick if it's inside the top 5

 

[boncer34]

If they finish bottom 4, don't they get to keep their future pick even if they traded it ?

They considered it but never introduced it

 

[boncer34]

I thought similar but all I can find is articles saying it was considered. Not that its introduced.

 

[Milux]

Surely not. The pick isnt protected is it? * hope not.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I thought similar but all I can find is articles saying it was considered. Not that its introduced.

My mistake then. Could have sworn that was part of it

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Surely not. The pick isnt protected is it? **** hope not.

No, it's not.

 

[mike123]

Its Jarrod Witts' fault. If he just went GWS we would have only given up one first rounder.

 

[Milux]

I thought similar but all I can find is articles saying it was considered. Not that its introduced.

Should never be introduced. Not saying that cause its collingwood. Say it because if you trade it away why should u get it back. Now it's on gws to find a gun in the top 5.

Nailed it!

I think the president would eventually sack Bucks if we continue to deteriorate and there's no way back but personally it should be done sooner rather than later. It will mean our season is effectively over if it isn't already, but this current situation cannot go on for too much longer.

 

[Porked04]

Somehow it's managed to backfire on both Collingwood and Richmond
