AGAIN I REPEAT MYSELF. Picks are speculative and GREENWOOD is a ready made inside mid that will play 200 games for your club. He is ready to play tomorrow. You don't have to develop him or teach him how to win a clearance. Winning your own footy is key in todays footy.
People seem to throw around picks 5 or 6 or 7 as if they are gold. Your pick in the top 10 may end up being a dud. Greenwood has no ifs or buts about him. Would be 1st or 2nd best inside mid in 80% of teams. Get real people.
You are seriously overrating Greenwood. He has had one good year after 5 average years before hand. He's a B Grade midfielder and he is ranked 3rd in clearances at North. He would be the 1st or 2nd best inside mid in no teams.
Adelaide: Danger and Sloane
Brisbane: Rockliff and Zorko (Or beams if they get him)
Carlton: Murphy and Gibbs
Collingwood: Pendlebury and Beams/Sidebottom
Essendon: Heppell and Watson
Fremantle: Barlow and Fyfe
Geelong: Selwood and Johnson (Not sure if he would be counted as an inside mid though, Greenwood may be 2nd best here)
GWS: Ward and Treloar
Gold Coast: Ablett and Prestia
Hawthorn: Lewis and Mitchell
Melbourne: Jones and Tyson
North: Swallow and Cunnington
Port: Boak and Wines
Richmond: Cotchin and Miles
St. Kilda: Steven and Armitage
Sydney: Kennedy and Parker
West Coast: Priddis and Shuey
Western Bulldogs: Liberatore and Griffen

That's just naming 2 from each club and not every midfielder who is better.

If Greenwood is in calculations then id like to keep pick 4 also

Bris gain: Beams
Bris lose: pick 4, 24

Pies gain: Pick 4, Greenwood
Pies lose: Beams, 45

North gain: 24, 45
North lose: Greenwood

I can admit Greenwood had a pretty good year and he'd be handy for us but this year was his only good year and he's uncontracted so therefore it lowers his value

Keep 24 and 45, hard pass on that from Norths perspective.

Ye of little knowledge. Greenwood not only gets his own ball he is an outside mid when needed and he also tags when he has to while still racking up possessions. He is as well rounded a midfielder as there is. No disrespect to some of those players on your list but you have mentioned some players that only play as inside types and some players that can't do a run with tag and he is only 23 and only now has realised his potential. Will only get better now that he is serious about his football. I will put it to Terry Wallace in tomorrows Draft Radio.

Greenwood is a poor kick for an outsider though.

He's 25 and will be 26 by the start of next season. Most players that I listed can also play outside and/or tag. What makes you think he wasn't serious about his football before?

So with Mitch Clark signalling Geelong and the player formally known as Harry O declaring Melbourne as his preferred destination I thought I'd put forward the following trade scenario to get some deals done.

Geelong trade Mitch Brown & Taylor Hunt or Varcoe to Melbourne.

Melbourne trade Mitch Clark to Geelong.

Melbourne trade either Brown or Hunt or Both to Collingwood.

Collingwood trade Lumumba to Melbourne.

Now let the anger about me being a geelong supporter flow in, yes yes.

The thing is I can't see Geelong offer up a lot to get a deal done. Yes they need a forward but picking up a player/need who is injury prone is risky, no matter what the upside. Two years ago Geelong brought in McIntosh for a mid pick, he missed the whole first year, then ended up injured towards the back end of year two.

Clark brings the same level of risk-reward.
Yes Brown & Hunt are only fringe players but both have fitness levels and fill needs for Melbourne and potentially Collingwood.
Varcoe could potentially offer Collingwood a bit up forward but is getting on in age.
Otherwise Geelong offer a second round pick (33) or 3rd round pick (52) would probably be fair.

I've read that Melbourne is willing to part with pick 22 for Harry O, which to me seems too high, especially given Collingwood want to get rid of him.

Collingwood would prefer a pick for Lumumba for sure given Clark is now off the table, but pick 22 is just too high in my opinion.
 
Greenwood is a poor kick for an outsider though.

A bit of a myth his disposal lets him down. This may have been the case in the past years but not anymore.
Like I said in earlier post he has worked harder than anyone on all aspects of his game.

If you knew how CD calculate disposal efficiency you would know it is a load of rubbish.

Elite ball-user Gary Ablett's DE was 69%, notorious ball-butcher Heath Grundy's was 81%

Brown Hunt or Varcoe, definitely in Collingwoods team needs.
