The I ❤️ Collingwood thread.

Buckley will get a contract extension if he delivers a top 3 pick.

To GWS?

 

[AngryAnt]

He has absolutely destroyed that list.
Even if they got Clarkson. Clarkson would struggle with the duds on that list.
They're where we were when Hardwick first took over, Fitzroy part 2

True, not all his fault though. Absolutely terrible list management.

It’s funny (when it happens to Collingwood) how quickly it all falls apart. 8 games ago Collingwood beat WC in a great final in Perth. Ready for the flag they were then.

Then they lose Treloar, Stephenson,Phillips in a trade period debacle.

Then they lose their President in another debacle.

Now they’ve lost 5 out of 6 games and sit second last.

 

[Long Lost Hernaman]

I'd say they are setting the narrative to get rid of Grundy myself. He is clearly not happy at the moment, and I reckon the Pies would love to offload him in the same manner as Treloar. Of course, they are going to be on the hook for part of his contract, but some other team, notably Adelaide I would guess, with lots of cap space, will be interested.

You might well be right Streak. Adelaide should have plenty of cap space and picks to play with. But could Collingwood really allow itself to stay on the hook for parts of both Treloar's and Grundy's contracts over the next few years? Could be in the order of $500K pa between the 2 of them.

Or completely hangs them, GC were good last week.

Here's hoping

I agree. The more Collingwood lose the better I feel.

 

[jb03]

Given the quality of their young players, I reckon they are clearly in tank mode.

Buckley will get a contract extension if he delivers a top 3 pick.

Think there is little point in them actively tanking for draft picks.

 

[King Kong]

They traded their first pick to GWS and will need the points for all their latter picks for the 2nd Daicos............lol

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

They won't need to tank, they just won't win many games with the current team. It's all about player development, or should be.

Sunday was respectable. Just a question of whether the wheels fall off totally or the young blokes take strides.

 

[zippadeee]

Collingwood the club that continues to give.
They currently don't have a first rounder, therefore if a club makes a play for Dacios, that could and will put Collingwood in deficit in the 2022 draft.
Who's running the show down there??

The best thing is, Nick Daicos won't make that list suddenly great again, they need more than 1 player but thats all they will get in this draft (bar some dregs at the end) and with where their picks are at the moment, might take a deficit of 500 points into the 2022 draft. Outstanding.

How has the list manager survived? He should be the first sacked

Fair go mate. The poor bugger is doing two jobs.

Derek Hine
Then Ronald McDonald Ned Guy turned up after 2018

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Pity they get GC at the G this week , lets them off the hook.

I reckon GC are a chance this week. As L2RTR said, youngest Pies side in a few years.

The meltdown from the fans would be a sight to behold.

 

[craig]

I reckon Figgy is probably done unless he gets a big turnaround out of them.

That Ned Guy, guy as well as Fat Ed and his Beams idea has dead set hocussed the Maggots.

The Beams deal is the one that seemigly started the rot, and they tried to get away with it outside the cap (well played Eddie).

That is possibly one reason Eddie got the tap on the shoulder, as well as the other BS.

They end up retaining Cox, Thomas and Elliot only to lose Treloar and Phillips easily 2 of their best 2 way runners/ transition players.,and the talented Stephenson, who they had wanted for a long time.

Fair enough they got a very good handful of kids last year in the draft but they wont be carrying the Pies forward forward for another few years yet.

Time for a hard decision on their list and I think last years big hand in the draft has already made it for them along with their cap issues, its gotta be rebuild time for the Skunks on the run. I think they have no choice but to take their medicine and pull the pin for 2 years and try and get as much quality junior talent in as they can.

Id also be trading out dross like Thomas and Cox for whatever they can get for them to relieve more cap pressure.

 

[jb03]

Other clubs seem to also go in to deficit. Hard to see what the actual ramifications are (do clubs get downgraded in the draft order?).

Yep

 

[craig]

Yep

So it just keeps getting worse for them in their pursuit of Daicos #2??
