Did anyone tell Ralph flags aren’t won with birth certificates?

It anyone is experienced to talk about it is us.
We won a flag with the youngest team in history and a flag with the oldest.
We have done it on both sides of the coin and realised there are no guarantees.

Wait 2-3 years when his beloved Tigers are delisting the bulk of their draft additions that haven’t “kicked on”
Let’s see what he says then

“Only on BigFooty is it more important to be young than good”.

The meeja is making a lie out of the “only” part.

That lot of people on here said would most likely happen
Well what do you expect from a Murdoch paper & their journalist stooges. Personally I do not read either the Herald-Sun or the Australian. Whenever I come across a copy of either, it goes straight into the rubbish bin or I may use it for weed control in the garden. Honestly those journalists simply loathe Collingwood. Goodbye & good luck.
 
I agree, but we still need 2 clubs and Houston to play ball for us to get Houston.

So worse case scenario, Perryman for salary - which we can clearly afford - means we're still walking away in a better position after trade week. Hopefully it gets better still with Houston - but if not, we'll have an OK draft hand or have added someone different.
I would prefer the draft picks than another flanker in Houston.

Oh hey it's this guy again!
 
But that’s a two way street they can’t screw Noble over by pulling out. Obviously we can’t be unreasonable but to ask for more 13 and the picks in the 20s when we are giving up a future first is a fair deal
Of course, but thats when you continue positive disucussion, its a silly approach to take facebook marketplace approach, if doesnt work for both parties, walk, its so basic, but i see ego business negotiation is very common
 
Our 2018 GF team had 8 or 9 players that were traded in plus Wells and Dunne who missed with injury but probably would have played.

While I get excited about the draft, there is something to be said about brining in proven players who can play your game plan.
If you were healthy and could play key back, you were a shoe in for a game 2018!

9… treloar, greenwood, whe, varcoe, crisp, tay, Grundy, mayne and aish.

In addition to wellsy and dunne, Sam Murray was traded in and was going ok til suspended.

I spent most of the day away from BF. I logged on tonight, and after about an hour, I was already exhausted. Trade week can be very draining. I may have issues sleeping tonight. Someone save me. :cryv1:

Just 8 days left (includ the weekend) haha
 
I think Blues fans and Pies fans would agree that our teams can't win the flag without Cripps and Daicos respectively (short of some drastic list changes). The key difference is Daicos will be 22 and Cripps 30 when the season starts.
We have more chance of winning a flag without daicos than they have without Cripps. We won a final without him last year!
 
At the moment it's been reported we offered Noble + F1 for pick 13, 23, 29 which is looking like a best case scenario.

It probably ends up being Noble + F1 for pick 13, 23

Maybe if we give Suns pick 36 as well we can get the full allotment 13, 23, 29

Suns will be left with picks 36, 41, 50 which = 1187 points

Lombard will get a bid around 10-12 which is 1250 - 1350 points

Best case scenario Suns take pick 36 give us pick 29 and find points elsewhere and we take 29, 52, 55 to the draft

Edit: I would take Will Graham he looks like a gun, Suns can't hoard endless mids.
That’s an optimistic take! I don’t think he gets past St Kilda’s picks before a bid after blitzing the agility and speed testing at the combine.
 
Can a pick be traded back to the club that started with it?

As in, could we get pick 13 from GC as part of Noble trade, then trade it to Port as part of Houston trade, who then send it back to GC as part of Lukosius trade?

I know it won’t happen coz GC want points instead of pick 13 but is such a circular pick trade actually allowed?

Real Footy podcast "Folly of Collingwood"

Lol ffs this is our of control

Where are the “Folly of the Swans” and Folly of Port” articles?

Neither has a single Premiership to show for a decade of high ladder finishes, whereas our Premiership is barely 12 months old!

We need to stop trading future 1sts, it’s been a disaster every time.

I’d rather do Noble and 36 for 13. GC gets Noble and they still get points this year.

Then 13 and Richards for Houston.

We keep our future 1st and Get Houston for the price of Noble, Richards and 36.

That would just be a 3 team trade without pick 13 involved not a bunch of circle trades, but yeah suns want to use 13 in a trade so it can have future picks instead it seems
