For all we know, that's exactly what they did, but maybe the players and/or their managers told the club where to go.

Just saw this, surely this can't be how low we've reached. Bulldogs offering future second round pick????

Mr Makri- I could not agree more- Hopefully (and I say this with every digit crossed) this trade period marks the nadir of our incompetence in managing the playing list and as a consequence our salary cap.

We continue to buy in players in the twilight of their careers on long-term contracts and ignore the lads we have drafted.

Tyler Brown missed long stretches this year, Nathan Murphy played three very solid games in 2018 and has not played since- Rantall is a gut-runner who didn't get a chance this year- Bianco is a gifted ball user who could not displace Josh Thomas from the senior 22.I love and respect Ben Reid but why, oh, why did he get extended into this year??? Moving forward make a tough call on Greenwood and Mayne- one or there other, but not both.

Less 'touchy-feely' stuff around the playing list Bucks and more ruthlessness in selection and list-management.

By the way, given that we can have a list with as few as 37 players on it in 2021, delist a few more of the fringe players (Wills/Appleby/Lynch/) and pick up some rookies until the cancer of this overpayment of players is rooted out.

Utterly gobsmacked by what I'm hearing, even if some is fake news

We are getting screwed if we fall for this shit, and the tragedy is we dont even know it, not us, the powers that be, my membership is looking more and more doubtful now, very much so. And there must be many members thinking the same on higher memberships than mine.

Or we overrate our players, and second round picks are all Treloar and Stephenson are really worth?

That's not what is being reported. Collingwood being asked to chip in $300k per year.

Considering we just gave up Stevo for a second rounder then a future 3rd rounder gets the job done. This club is done. Shut the doors.
