Well… not really. Pick 2 would have been swallowed by Daicos presuming North bid on him and they will. If Collingwood had been patient and played their cards better, they could have gotten better value for their pick when trading it

North wont bid on Daicos.

Keep the pick then trade up with North to get pick 1, maybe with a second or something next season.

Pick 1 doesn't get traded ever, and North don't give it to us without us paying a king's ransom. Sure it's probably better than trading pick 2 for a couple of second rounders, but the deal is done and we just have to put up with it.

All power to them if they don't, means we don't have to spend as much once the bid comes

Trading up should at least have been the option. If that wasn't the case, Brisbane have two late firsts (pretty sure). That would have been a better deal too.

Be shocked if they don't if nothing else it takes pressure off Horne. Put it on Daicos and the other FS who I forget. Take Horne at 3 with no pressure.

Indeed .... the whole it would have been eaten up is a complete covering of their arsus

Id say North need the exposure of the number one pick, and Horne has earned that right.

He is the best player in the draft.

Was literally the worst out of 100 options. You can't say with a straight face that it was the "best they could have got). Would have literally got more this year with 16 clubs!

So was Thilhope last year but Adelaide were smart, take the pressure off. Can just see it from a club's perspective. You know the Pies match why you wouldn't get them to pay the Kings Ransom is beyond me.

The deal is done and Ned Guy is now on the dole so we just have to live with it and move on. If I were list manager of Collingwood I certainly wouldn't have let this happen, and neither would have anybody else with 4 brain cells

Nah North are keen on Horne-Francis

JUH was comfortably the best in the draft class last year

Why wouldn’t you pick the best player in the draft, and at worst make Collingwood pay up for him?

Yep. Honestly it would be beyond negligent to at worst make your opposition pay the Kings Ransom.

 

[hawkman]

If North can push Collingwood into a bigger deficit it may pay off for them next year if Collingwood finish lower than them

I stand corrected (AFL ladder wasnt refreshed).

Pick 2!!!

Holy sweet Jesus

That's a disaster

And no ur wrong. Pies could have kept pick 2 and traded for points to match Daicos pick .

It's utterly indefensible.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Pick 2 you mean?

Yep pick 2.
Wow.
Just wow.

 

[Engimal v3]

Imagine if North bids on Daicos and Collingwood just says "**** it, take him" as part of a master plan to get Horne with pick 2. In 2 years time, Daicos requests a trade to the Pies, and they end up with #1 & #2

Edit: Wait, forgot that GWS have pick #2. Surely there's no reason for North to bid? Aren't there a bunch of other clubs that can also bid on Daicos before Collingwood get a crack?

Imagine if North bids on Daicos and Collingwood just says "fu** it, take him" as part of a master plan to get Horne with pick 2. In 2 years time, Daicos requests a trade to the Pies, and they end up with #1 & #2

It would end up with Horne requesting a trade to North .... that’s how well the pies are rolling

 

[HBFlanker]

Because the best player is Horne, and i believe the best player should go at 1.

 

[Falcon27]

Geez it seems Ned has done a number on the TPP at the Pies. Sidebottom 2 years to go at $700K, and apparantly a trigger for a third. Paying $300K a year for Treloar at the Bulldogs until 2025. $1mill a year for Grundy for the next 5 years. And now reportedly cant stump up for Pendles.

 

[g_TRAIN]

North will bid on Daicos 100%

Why would you give your opposition a leg up?

Not to mention he's clearly the number 1 rated player.
