Yes I predicted my team to go backwards. I did not/ do not rate our list. I don't know what every one else saw in the team.
Like I said Saints fans had a little more reason to be optimistic about making the 8 due to having a better list then Norf.

You guys really are a sad bunch of people.
Before posting any more rubbish look at the prediction thread.
95% Saints posters had you in the 8.
95% Roo posters had us out of the 8.

Not sure we could be any sadder than 66 and bad bounces......

I wonder how North are going to explain why A...they offered Dusty more and B they called Kelly the plan B option. It's not the sort of way to try to attract A grade talent I would have thought.
Kelly isnt plan B. the offer to him was well b4 the dusty one.

Dusty was part 2 of a double play. plan b is either getting another established mid this year, or another key position next year....

kelly is, and always has been target no1.

3288 Points(Pick 7 x2) - 677 (Pick 28) = 2611 - 2234 (Pick 3) + Pick 43 is the same value as that trade.

And at the time collingwood expected to play finals so they were really giving up less then that. Kelly also was worse then Treloar at the same age prior to this year and has just slightly edged ahead, he isn't worth substantially more.

Pick 3 + 20 is worth 3146 points, virtually as much as 2 pick 7's and more then enough.
Slightly ahead?

If thats the case, why offer him less ?

I think he'll stay. Wouldn't want to end up another Treloar.

Maybe it'll depend how far they go this year.
Kelly should actually have some targets to kick to at Carlton.

Treloar wasn't smart enough to realise that lately Collingwood are allergic to drafting quality talls.

longer term, with triggers to earn more later in contract, and the fact that dusty would have, and did demand more to get him.
That makes perfect sense, thanks.

Hope you get him. Perfer North over Blues as they will just waste his talent by making him kick backwards and sideways and call that defending....and i dont want him to go to the saints or bombers as he fits a perfect need for them.

He will never be allowed to forget his reasons for picking the Pies.

Like Bucks in the 90s picked the Pies over the Roos to win flags. Trelour could have done a Bucks - while being coached by Bucks.

Now doesn't that make your head spin!!

Why do you think Eddie is hell bent on buying him a flag?

Mixed messages.

Something like 50% staying @ GWS, 45% Carlton and 5% the rest.
so you source must know josh, or his manager?

did Josh wake up and say, yeah, im 50% staying, but 45% change, i might pick carlton, but **** it 5 % fo other teams? really.
what money has carlton offered? how about the saints? have they actually made offers?

Who has he met with? any Clubs yet? I know one that has met with him....
