I need a bex after reading that. Good post though.Nah, for once they probably shouldn't trade him
Collingwood will be eyeing a bottom 4 finish in 2022 and Band 1 compensation for De Goey.
That would be the smart play.
Just as Essendon did with Danniher.
No club will trade a top 5 pick for him, not even close. But the compensation will give them that.
If they finish last or second last, they could conceivably get a top 3 pick for him. He's young enough and will easily demand a Band 1 salary after the age loading comes into it. He probably only needs about $600k a year from a club to get them Band 1, given his age.
Between Daicos F/S and De Goey's compo, they are very likely going to get a VERY lucky start to their rebuild.
