Go Roos...we need pick 2 more than you!!!

Holding a grudge eh?

Pick 2 almost confirmed at this stage.

If they were worried about Daicos they could have traded it to almost anyone for their 2022 first rounder (Crows, Suns, Hawks, maybe even North would have done that deal), and probably ended up with a top five pick next year. Instead landed two mid-second round picks last year in a speculative draft given lack of junior football played.

Hope it works out for them and the players they drafted last year turn out to be stars, but based on the pure numbers of it it would have to be amongst the worst pick swaps of all time. Would love to know where they expected to finish on the ladder this year, and where they thought the pick would land. Very lucky they didn’t finish last or there would have been zero excuses at all given they could have used it + landed Daicos without worrying about a bid, not that it makes much difference.

I dont understand why did Collingwood ever do this deal??

Basically pick 2 for McRae and Poulter. Worst trade you’ll see.

Actually it was worse than that, McMahon and Poulter.

Now opposition supporters in the future can't say "that was the worst trade I've ever seen" about their own club, because nothing will beat this. Although two 1st round picks for Beams comes close.

We were a shambles off-field. Board on fire, we lost our coach halfway through the year, we lost Treloar, Stephenson and Atu for a packet of chips. Complete balls up.

Botched list management. Pies supporters should be furious, Don't need to even rub it in

You better get a move along.

Maybe one day Collingwood members will get the please explain they deserve. Wtf really went on with the player payment situation from 2016-2021? It might take a decade or longer for the repercussions to be fully moved on from

 

[The 747]

Boy oh boy, wowee. Pick 2.....

Boy oh boy, wowee. Pick 2.....

and they gave up 21 this year for 41 & 42 last year.

Really? Holy hell....

Really? Holy hell....

Decade to undo all the damage in the space of 2 off-seasons.

So 2 and 21 for 4 picks from late 20 to 42 .... quality effort

 

[living_in_syd]

Baffling decision. Guess that’s what happens when they got desperate last year. Getting in those draft picks would ‘paint’ a better picture to members to cover the lost of players hoping they won’t notice the draft picks lost in the future

 

[Lip Gallagher]

And we’re paying Grundy a mill a year for the next 5, yay!!

I thought Ned outlined it perfectly in this interview. Crystal clear.

All had better years as well, Super talented but hes been going to the direction of average rather then improvement or even remaining a top 5 ruckman

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this happened after the Treloar etc trades? I don’t understand, this pick swap is arguably so much worse than those deals, and it’s not as though it was being driven by any salary cap pressure. If anything it’s the opposite. They traded two picks for four, so splitting the quality across multiple players who will take up more cap space.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The Pies figured they lose their P1 in 2021 on the Daicos deal.

They will instead be scrabbling together points from late picks to match an early bid on Daicos.

Also do we know for a fact that Daicos has agreed to be a F/S?

What a complete disaster

I'm a fan of Draper but to be fair he missed about 10 games so Grundy should have him covered for that reason alone.
