No. I'm expressing an unbiased non-fanboi opinion
No. Your opinion is biased. It is by definition biased to your way of thinking.

Every opinion is biased.

The only thing unbiased is "fact" and there is not enough exposed form at AFL level to establish any fact.

His opinion is biased.

So is yours.

So we have some ELITE talent on the market with the likes of Yarran, Motlop, Aish, Scharenberg, Carlisle, Hendo etc and even more so they are players in areas of dire need for us...

But yet everyone is jumping at the idea of getting another pure inside midfielder in Redden.

SMH
Henderson want to return home to cats so rule him out.

Carlisle would be my top target if mot for Wada. Would not give up a 1st rounder but worth considering at a discount.

Aish & bro appear to have selected the pies, but we should stir the pot.

Yarran is leaving the blues for sure & loves Eddie, so we should be going hard.

Would be great to get Motlop & keep danger.

Has been in the twos for a number of weeks now, so probably probably wouldn't take to much to extract him, is an absolutely awesome talent as a mid sized forward. Would jump at the chance of bringing him back to Adelaide.
I have him above Aish and I'm undecided the order with him ans S'Berg. Maybe Berg on need only.

So if Collingwood trade away this year and next years first rounders, what happens if a father son pops up? Might they only have to use a second rounder for a gun?

Dude just stop now.

Menzel is in another universe to Kerridge. Kerridge is just a hard working athlete, he's not as skilled as you are talking him up to be and does not have the poise, the silky-ness or the class of a player like Menzel.

It's like trying to compare Stevie J and Joel Corey for example. Both great players and no knock on Corey for the player he was, but Stevie J is just a freak of nature.

My post wasn't intending to get into the details of each player, but so the fact that there is all this talent in front of them, wanting to move clubs, and yet year after year of complaints about our slow midfield and inside midfielder stocks, and people want to pursue and plain Jane, vanilla midfielder like Redden, who won't come all that cheap might I add.

Redden will add absolutely nothing to our existing squad. The others previously mentioned on the other hand...

So Collingwood have 3 1st round picks to trade?

They must be trading someone out & next years draft picks if they land treloar & aish.
... that's exactly what the tweet says though? This year's first round pick for Treloar, next year's for Aish, one first round pick each plus second round swaps is all either can hope to get for an out of contract player.

How many cat b can you have? There's this bloke and the cricketer reject. Could be some diamonds in the rough hopefully
3 (but only 1 of them can be Irish). Osborn is done as a Cat B rookie this year, and has to be dumped of upgraded (dunno if he can be moved to our regular rookie list) so if we pick up him and the cricketer that's only 2 Cat B players.

So if you do freakish stuff that only 1% of players can do you're automatically a better player? That's horrible logic...

That's like comparing Burton because he could sit on blokes shoulders to Edwards. Stop living in a reality world, I'm not saying Menzel won't be better but the bloke at the beginning said he'd trade the two in a straight swap in a heartbeat and that's just complete stupidity "dude just stop".
