We lost pick 7 for a bloke who has had 2 knee reconstructions, hasn't played good football for 2 or 3 years. Another of Malthouses West Coast rejects.
After reading what they put on the Collingwood website about trade week I can't work out why we did this trade.
1. Trade only to improve your list.
This is the overlying principle of the Mick Malthouse approach. Don’t trade for trading’s sake. Don’t cast off players just to be seen to be doing something. Only make an exchange if you feel it will significantly strengthen your team and club.
2. Build a dynasty
Mick Malthouse believes strongly in giving the club a chance at success for a sustained period by taking a core group of young players through the era together.
‘…you plan for the club to have a good go at it for the next five years and bring through kids and instill a camaraderie and teammanship that will exist.
When you look at Brisbane, so many of those players are 26, 27, 28 – they’ve come through together since they were 18 and built a great strength because they get to know each others ways...
The goal is to bring as many good young players through together as possible, but not lose them all together.’
This is why Geelong is reluctant to trade any of its promising group of young midfielders – they have come through together and have the camaraderie that can lead to teams becoming greater than the sum of their parts.
That is why Collingwood stuck by Alan Didak, rather than trade for Nick Stevens last year.
Trying to instil unity and solidarity is a pragmatic decision in such a cut-throat competition. It is difficult to create a dynasty when the foot-soldiers have no security of tenure.
3. When in doubt, go young.
Mick Malthouse is against drafting too many players coming towards the end of their careers. ‘You’re not there to go for cheap shots and go get 28, 29 year olds just to top up where you are on the ladder and maybe find out that you’re eighth or ninth.’
He feels this is the way you gradually drift out of contention. The ‘cheap shots’ do not deliver the ultimate success and eventually cost you the chance at getting a crucial ‘franchise’ youngster, who could be a ten year cornerstone of the club.
It is rare that team is so close to the top that it can afford to draft veterans. We are certainly not in that boat.
Point 3 makes you wonder why we would consider him even.

having not seen morrison play much, judging by his stats this season seems like a not bad pick up. seems to be a possession getter, his season high being 30 touches and 10 marks vs brisbane round 19. anyone know much about him???
pace?? disposal??

His most recent season seems more than acceptable to me.
Collingwood feel they would get the same pick with 10 that theyw ould have with 7 , reasoning that the top 5 are quality and the rest you can throw a blanket over.
So basically they view the trade as Bo Nixon for Chad Morrison.

Good deal.
Bo Nixon (delisting material) for Chad Morrison (could suprise at least will be handy).
We will most probably get the same player from the draft and if you look at the last few pick 7s and the last few pick 10s. The pick 10s are nearly always better or at least as good.
There is a conspiracy theory that we also told Hawthorn that they will skip TJ in the PSD if he is up. I don't see how this is true.

How many players averaged that many disposals this year?
