Trade

OH brilliant so out of a whole two weeks of trades, all we got was a guy who has played one senior game for the swans, while the Cats can seemingly recruit any bastard they want ????

I am so so underwhelmed, a whole two weeks, for bugger all, really. sigh.

Jenkins and a late future pick to the Cats in return for pick 37 from the pussies. Seems like the Crows did alright out of a bloke who was never going to be there in 2020

Wow Pies. All I got out of that is that we can't spend any money despite Wells, Goldsack etc going off the books. Well, delistings will be interesting.

I might be jumping the gun but it looks like we didn’t achieve our goal of moving up into the first round either.
Very anticlimactic but that’s life. Win some, lose some.

Here are the details of the Aish deal:

Fremantle send a future second-round pick and a future fourth-round pick to Collingwood. In exchange, the Pies sent Aish, pick 69 and a future third-rounder.

Here in a nutshell is why Collingwood is the archetypal mediocre club. We are a constant tease. Promise much - rarely deliver.

Hawthorn pick up Jon Patton. Geelong pick up Josh Jenkins. Either player would have been handy to plonk in our forward line. FFS we struggled to kick goals this year. So we pick up a Sydney reject who played one game in two years and lose Aish who has been more than serviceable.

Obviously salary cap issues are a factor.

And where are our indigenous players? There are some clubs right now who have more indigenous players on their list than Collingwood has had in my lifetime. Surely there's a pattern there!

If we think our list from the past two years is good enough we are kidding ourselves. The Bulldogs are certain to go past us with their pickups. Ditto Hawthorn. Brisbane is already there. The Giants ain't going anywhere, and Richmond are odds on for three flags in four years. Even the Saints have improved their list.

If Grundy goes next year we are stuffed for at least a generation. Underwhelmed? Piesnchess is right!

Took a while but penny is dropping. We got no money.
Dunn Goldy Wells were on peanuts this year as is Broomhead.

SO, we are broke, skint, nothing in the kitty ?? Is that the way of it, we have NO room in our cap, despite several retirements, and aish gone ??

I really thought we had Jenkins, but he lands with Handbags, who seem to have a bottomless pit of cap move, endless cash. on the side ??

NOT happy Eddie, we are not happy campers !!

Something fishy about the Jenkins story.

Why'd we go cold?

I agree we should have addressed our tall forward issue. Jenkins was a cheap option. Bruce would have also been a cheap trade.

No idea why we didnt seem to make an effort. The only answer is the cap.
