Our draft record under Derek Hine et al

[watt price tully]

That guy from Geelong goes alright too. Much quicker than our Hine.

Different set of circumstances. In one sense it's not comparig apples with apples.

If we land Treloar, Aish and Howe, we will be a stronger team. However, let's not get carried away. Of those 3 only Treloar is a definite starter in our best 22. Remember, we will haven given up 2 first round draft picks for Treloar, which is a big price to pay. So I'll be happy with the result, but my enthusiasm is tempered by knowledge that we've paid top price for Treloar.

Aish will walk into our side, we lack midfield depth, and we do over rate some of our players, heck we finished 12th last year, not 2nd.

Plenty of room in our best 22 for all 3 I reckon, if we want to improve that is.

If we get all 3 we've had as good a trade period as we could have had.

You can only get a deal done as fast as the other party wants it to, the Dangerfield deal wasn't a fast deal at all, it started long before trade week and they finally gave in and offered up the deal.

The Blues pretty much wanted rid of Henderson they got a first rounder next year for him, so they would have been silly not to have taken that and ran.

Trades take their time to get done, usually one side will keep another waiting just to service their own ego. Much like the Lions, they beat their chest and act all tough then they gave in now they'll probably make this drag out a bit to look like they're not pushovers.

Hine is the Gandalf of recruiting. If he pulls off the deals to get Treloar, Aish and Howe he deserves great praise and we should give him the ring of power.

Both Aish and Treloar have nominated Collingwood so it isn't hard
to land a fish when that happens!
Two top draft picks for Treloar so he isn't a bargain and who knows what
sort of pick Aish is worth.
So 2 first round draft picks walk out on us and if we are lucky we will get some second round picks for them!
And yes Hine is a genius!
Everyone keeps telling me that but it doesn't line up with reality!

Thommo it is what it is mate, couple of best 22 walk and a couple of better 22 arrive.

Swings and roundabouts.

The trick is to recognize the possibilities and take advantage.

So far Hine is in credit.

If Aish can stay uninjured you won't be saying that after you see his first half dozen games with Collingwood. Howe though will either be a great success or a big flop.

At least that is a reasonable comment.

[Pa Marmo]

Howe will be an enormous pick in my humble opinion. He provides real X factor when up forward and across half back is very, very good.

[mackasmatt]

I think we will definitely get all three players across. I think it is going to come at an extremely high price, but if we make finals in 2016 and snare a Premiership within 5 it wont matter.

Who is Overrated and who Would Aish get a Game Ahead?

Mark Robinson has made his career out of sticking it to Collingwood and I admire his belief that good journalism was not going to be in his future therefore he needed something else, and hating Collingwood will provide you with a following. I believe most of us had written Robbo off years ago as appealing to the Yobbo in the outer that hates everything to do with the Magpies. This doesn't explain his need to criticise players that haven't even played in the famous Black and White Stripes and yet may in the near future. His piece on Howe yesterday was predictably negative because of his potential move to the Holden Centre and a great opportunity for Robbo to name every player that moved to Collingwood as duds with a couple of exceptions. Robbo rises to the bait Bucks throws at him on the 360 program so easily you would have thought a friend, if he has any, would provide counsel on the pitfalls of being so quick to react. Am I being unfair or do you agree with me that he has taken his hate for Collingwood to such lengths he has become a joke; a parody of his public persona.
