Agreed.
There's a reason players like Cotchin & Dusty go top 3 in the draft.
We are all hopeful that Graham, Ross, RCD & Dow will step up. But if you watch recent top picks like Rowell & Walsh, there is a fair gap between them and our potential future midfielders.
With guys wanting to go for game time elsewhere etc, i like the idea of trading for future picks, build up on our youth we already have. If it works it'll revolutionise the way list management is done & we'll have a massive head start on the chasing packWhile you're in the zone go as hard as you can.
But we've also seen that drafting and developing kids can get you very good talent, while you're on top. Balta, Shai. baker, Aarts .
I say go as hard as you can to win another premiership or 2. And as much as possible bring through younger players. When Cotch and Bachar go we'll have decent talent to bring in, surrounded by a damn good team. Get another Shai or 2 and we'll be a contended for years.
We're on the edge of a full rebuild whilst winning titles. It isn't either or, it's trying to do both.

wtf !!!!how the hell you came to those conclusions on the back of that post is beyond me. Just unbelievable.I think your underrating how long guns can hang around for and how quickly gun draftees can surge with a bit of quality development.
I read this and it seems your take is for us to go gun ho and go all for the now and then big rebuild. I think we can be smarter than that without going all for the now like Hawks and Geelong. I think we can do a Port and be very vibrant in 4-5 years with top drafting as well as other recruits like through FA and other options.
I would rather we win 4 to 5 premierships over the next ten years than get close in two, possibly win and then fall off a cliff. I do not want to see another 1980's when ego got ahead of dedication and focus and vision as well as drive.
Carlton are a great example of ignoring the draft at your own peril. They only seemed interested in number one picks after the spoon
If anyone wants easy games elsewhere i'd trade for future picks. We can absolutely do a rebuild while in contentionShould trade back to the 22' draft just for the lols
Those current picks are tending towards refresh!Picks as at this morning:-
13, 14, 24, 31,46, 49
Collingwood will have to match a likely pick 1 bid on Nick Daicos, which means that all of their picks go to the back of the draft. They can bring forward a future pick but they're in a world of pain with no one of any value left to trade out.Picks as at this morning:-

Collingwood picks;-

Would you tempt them with our future 2022 1st and say our current pick 24 for Moore?Collingwood will have to match a likely pick 1 bid on Nick Daicos, which means that all of their picks go to the back of the draft.

Guess they could save some salary and pay another team to take on Grundy.....for a future round 2 pick
Nah, would only offer a future 2nd if they agreed to pay 350k/year of his salaryWould you tempt them with our future 2022 1st and say our current pick 24 for Moore?
You're way underrating Darcy Moore. He would be our best key defender.Nah, would only offer a future 2nd if they agreed to pay 350k/year of his salary
Seriously though, I don't think that we need a 3rd tall forward....
Actually serious now.....I think he'd be a handy backup for Broad or Balta.
A very 'tongue in cheek' post from me, sorry.You're way underrating Darcy Moore. He would be our best key defender.
He's only 25 though, so young enough to still be at Collingwood when they're contending again ... just.
Have they changed the rules about the number of picks you take to the draft?
I recall that it was that you could only take the same amount of picks as list spaces.
ie If we don't have 6 list spaces before the draft, will we have to trade away some of our picks for futures before the draft or else lose them for nothing?
Has live trading on draft night changed that rule so you can now bring surplus picks for trading?
