Just disregard Collingwood's side of thigs at the moment - Which clubs would be genuine Premierhip contenders if he was added to their current squad. Hawthorn, Melbourne, Carlton, Richmond, Brisbane and Sydney spring to mind. Essendon and North probably don't need him. The other clubs probably have too many deficiancies for one good player to cover

I'm talking purely in terms of ability. I've heard rumours that Collingwood is very 'cliquey' due to him and that he is undermining the current coach to some extent. Even though Buckley is obviously strong on collingwood and puts in every effort
 
I remember in 1993, Charles Barkly, who was a superstar at the time was traded to Phoenix for three players who went to Philadelphia.

A lot of people said the trade was even since, even though Barkly was a superstar, Phoenix had to unload three players (and valuable depth) to get him. The trade was looked upon as 50/50

As the season unfolded, Phoenix were the big improver. They finisehd with the best record in the NBA 60-22, and lose the Grand Final to the Chicago Bulls 4-2 in a best of 7. Barkly was a major factor.

It just goes to show you. DON'T GIVE UP YOUR CHAMPIONS.

How many early draft picks end up being superstars ? Not many. Don't give away your champions, unless you trade for another champion.

As I have returned from fishing... I shall answer... Reaally I don't know why I can't say "he supports Essendon"... But here is the reason Richmondfan#1....

ANYONE THAT THINKS MY TEAM IS MEANINGLESS... IS SCUM IN MY EYES...

I don't care what you think of that... or what anyone else thinks of that... That is how it is...

I hope that has answered your question... but as you have signed aww geee's Poll... I don't really give a flying fucck either...
 
Fair enough Rooboy, but I'm sure people hate you for different reasons.

Don't take that the wrong way, I don't hate you as I like to be friends with everyone on these boards. Just the facts.
 
I am quite devistated that some people may hate me... as you say... but then at least I a m not trying to be G4E sleeping partner...

now that made me laugh a truce with G4E... why??? you are the first to want to be his buddy...

But then you do barrack for Richmond....
 
Rooboy,

Far be it from me to stick up for you, but I did admit that the term "meaningless" was perhaps a little harsh.

So, since then, I have used the term "least important"

If you disagree with that, please tell me, which clubs are more important than the Roos ?

Sydney ? No way. Arguably the most important club in the comp. Similar story with Brisbane.

Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond ? No way. All with huge support and traditions.

Adelaide and West Coast ? Big markets with huge support.

Geelong ? Very large support and the AFL's only regional based team.

Melbourne. Uh-uh. The original tenant of the MCG and the leagues oldest club. The name "Melbourne" is a huge asset and has led them being schedulaed to play in Auckland in the past due to the noticeability of the name "Melbourne".

North on the other hand have probably the smallest support in Melbourne, a history in the AFL dating back to only 1925 (really up until the 1970's until they accomplished anything meaningful in the AFL) and they are an inner-suburban club not really representing any area.

So please, if North are NOT the least important, would you kindly tell me......who is ?
 
So Scum since you have change it from "Meaningless" to "least important" I think I will change your name from Scum to floating film...

and I have already told you I will notbe part of this debate... all clubs have importance in their own way...

Goodbye Floating film...
