List Mgmt. Reflecting on the 2013 trade/draft period

[jsdsgn]

Amidst the dozens of trades Collingwood are involved in this year, lets look at our 2013 trading and drafting period which completely changed the club and set up what we have today

• Daisy went to Carlton in restricted Free Agency.
• Traded Picks 11 (Dom Sheed), 31 & 49 to West Coast for Picks 6 (Scharenberg) & 44....
• Then Traded Pick 44 (Aliir Aliir) to Sydney for Jesse White.
• Traded Taylor Adams for Heath Shaw (straight swap).
• Traded Jackson Paine to Brisbane for Patrick Karnezis. Two of the greatest to ever do it.
• Club legends/heroes Alan Didak (delisted), Ben Johnson (retired), Darren Jolly (delisted), Andrew Krakouer (delisted) all departed.
• Also delisted Hall of Famers Corey Gault, Jordan Russell, Ben Richmond & Michael Hartley, the latter now being a solid backup defender at Essendon - its fine, we have an abundance of those.
• Scharenberg (pick 6) and Nathan Freeman (pick 10) were our First Round Selections. Some players we passed up on include:
  • Patrick Cripps, Matt Crouch, Zach Merrett, Ben Brown, James Sicily & Orazio Fantasia.
• Other draftees include Tom Langdon (steal at Pick 65), Jonathan Marsh (pick 77).
• Rookie elevations were Sam Dwyer and Adam Oxley.

Overall, rate our 2013 period. At the time, looked to be winning trade week after the Adams trade and pick swaps. Other clubs were expressing how well we were going.
It all fell to pieces at the draft table however as we completely stuffed it up, drafting two injury prone players and passing up on some generational players.
Obviously however hindsight is a wonderful thing.

6/10 for me. Got the future captain for a player who had a falling out with the club, but the drafting stuffed it all up.

Injury Cost us with the 2 Top 10 Picks.

IF Freeman did not destroy his Hammy in 1st Practise Game and Scharanberg did 3 ACL's how good could they been and we look at this Time Very Different

yep. not sure how good freeman would be but i really rate schaz. couldve been anything

 

[JOELY]

In hindsight 6/10 is genererous. We buggered this up.

Perfect strategy for where we were at the time that was fatally undermined by who we picked with the two top ten picks.

Can you now tell me last weeks Tattslotto numbers and discuss WHY it is that I didn't win AGAIN?

So many experts discussing the past (yawn)

Don't think was anything wrong who we Picked but we had No Luck with them on Injuries

Excellent trading, got unlucky or made bad selections with Pick 6 and 10.

2 out of 10. 2 x strikeouts in the top 10 is very unfortunate. Probably cost us 2018 GF and a shot at this years as some of the others drafted later could have played big roles.

Disaster. Only pluses are letting Daisy go rather than pay overs to keep him; and getting Langdon so cheaply

Adams and Shaw swap is a minor win. Heater has played great footy but younger Adams had more games left in him.

What a busy trade period - contrast that to this year

 

[HFF]

I’d do this deal if it gets us a top 20 pick.
Granted Phillips is a good player—-he’s exactly that type of player whereby we can move on without losing much on field but allow us to free up cap space at the same time and net us a pick in the first round.

Phillips will continue to play good football but he’s one that holds value.

If drafting is just based on luck then what's the point paying Derek Hine big bucks, let's save some money and start picking numbers out of a hat.

 

[manicpie]

God I hope so

 

[DaVe86]

It was a solid trade period I reckon. We just didn't nail the draft picks. In fairness though, If I was a recruiter, I would've made the same 2 picks. We got pretty unlucky from an injury perspective....but having said that we knew Scharenberg at a minimum had foot issues. Obviously would have been nice to have identified Cripps.

I thought the Adams/Shaw trade was a win win, and Jessie White for 44 looked good at the time as he had a pretty decent year at the Swans the year prior. Hindsight says Aliir at 44 turned into a solid pick for them...but 44 is always a very speculative pick, and it can be hit or miss with the Sudanese boys.

It's always easy to be critical in hindsight, but I was pretty satisfied at the time with what we did.

With Aish and Schaz off the books the curse draft will be complete, 13 has never been lucky for the club

Did you forget to pick up the prize or just picked the numbers wrong

Accept for Adams and Langdon it was a Disaster
