Review Our trade period

[Boris the Contradiction]

Our trade period.

Out: Treloar, Phillips, Stevo, Atu, pick 39, pick 42

In: Pick 14, future 2nd, pick 65, pick 70

They've gutted the existing list and we have a poor hand in a draft that's compromised anyway. They've wrecked the team, and that doesn't even factor in the potential cultural fallout from all this.

What the hell happens now?

I don't think giving this trade period an F grade is suitable

WORSE TRADE PERIOD EVER

I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE A COLLINGWOOD FAN AT THE MOMENT

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

What's lower than an F?

 

[Get Smart 86]

I don't understand how we get Reef McInnes unless we use either pick 14 or 16 for him.

That's the one. I indeed feel embarrassed also to be a Collingwood supporter, darkest day since the late 1990s

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

I'm really hurting right now and angry, so emotionally it's like we are Pompeii, and this year's draft is Mt Vesuvius

 

[chop_me]

As much as I’m always excited about a trade period, I wish our list managers understanding that “no trade” is a plausible option.

What is the downside of keeping Stevo and try and work his value up a bit next year, even if we do want to trade him? If he has a horrible year again, it just means we miss out on a pick 16. Boo hoo

Genuine question. If there a more pathetic and more humiliating trade period in the history of football? We don’t even have a *ing top 10 pick!

 

[Go Woods]

DISASTROUS! No other way to describe it.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

A total s**t show.

I'll only get excited about next year if McGuire, Buckley and the list management team are all gone by Round 1 2021.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I hate trade week. They do it to us every year. Every year I wish we’d just stay out of it.

I wonder if Jeffrey Epstein’s island is available to rent next year for a week at this time, it’s not as if he’s using it, and I can smash the modem.

 

[Go Woods]

Can someone post our picks now in this years draft please? Thanks.

Ed and Nathan stay that's what happens

 

[DaVe86]

How do we get Reef if he gets bid on after 16? Do 65 and 70 carry points?

 

[Quicky]

I was prepared to believe that the rumours we were trading out some quality players was a strategic decision to get into the draft this year and regear the list with some youth.

It's clear that based on the returns we received for our players we were in no position to negotiate and were forced to dump their salaries. I can only assume that was because, if we hadn't done so, we would have exceeded the salary cap.

How we allowed ourselves to get into that position with player contracts and salaries is difficult to comprehend. I can get it with one player, but that fire sale, that was something completely without precedence.

Someone, probably many someones, have catestrophically ****ed up to allow this. There had better be accountability for this.

14, 16, 65, 70, 75, 92

Do we have enough points to still get Daic's next year and are we able to still get Reef this year?

 

[DaVe86]

I add our draft points to be 129, which is the equivalent of pick 62.

So if Reef goes after pick 16 (which we hope he does so we get 3 first round equivalent picks), then we go into deficit and it costs us next year. Is this correct?

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Absolute disaster!
And then the club goes all over social media sprouting about it and wishing them well.
Bullshit, you pushed them out the door through terrible list management!
The club has a lot of explaining to do.

 

[gouki88]

We'll have enough for Daicos - think getting the Dogs future 2nd was in order to address this.

We'll get Reef, but we might get screwed if a team makes an early bid on him. We don't have any picks in the 30s, 40s and 50s to match it.

It's the worst trade period you will ever see by a club in the AFL, heads must roll but knowing this club they won't

If a bid comes inside the top 16, it will cost us one of our two first rounders...which we don't want. If a pick comes after 16, then we have the equivalent of pick 62 to work with with draft points. So we are screwed.

So either way, we are screwed. Why on earth did we trade all our 2nd rounders!!!!

good luck tracking down any accountability down there
