You’re the one who keeps telling everyone we have no money left after Grundys contract and that no one would bother coming to Collingwood, so why are we entertaining “ pie in the sky “ that won’t happen anyway.eddiesmith wrote:It’s one thing to want to back the draft, which we’ve mostly ignored under Buckley preferring to trade first rd picks...But Sidebottom is finished, Pendlebury is nearly done, we have no A grade midfielders and injecting an elite goal kicking midfielder into the group is exactly what’s needed.

Good post; mostly because I agree with it35forever wrote:One player does not a marquee make.eddiesmith wrote:Petracca would be a massive get, but it's hard to see how it happens, why would he leave Melbourne for Collingwood? Plus we've already got our marquee player for the next 7 years...
Nicky is the most anticipated magpie since the ‘70s, he’s racked up 3 best ons from 4 starts already this year. Last week it was just a lazy 40 touches & 3 goals.
He’s also been training at the club, running drills & doing strength training with some of our best.
But not on his own. By the time he’s ready to rock the ones, we’ll likely have lost Pendles, Steelo, & a couple more.
Before the trade fiasco I was fairly sanguine about the next year or two. Some good kids coming through & a couple more to come. The chance of an imported gun on the way, maybe Merret or Petracca coming. (I too am a big Petracca fan, a gun, a ‘pie, & a perfect match for Nicky D).
Losing our gun forward & our best runner flushed that down the shitter, but more importantly we’ve still learned nothing about managing young men and the huge part psychology plays in the modern game, we see it every week).

Well said! There’s more to this saga to come - as any aficionados of the classics knows there’s always the glory, the down-fall, the new hope, the rise, love found, love lost, heartache, faith like the little bird singing in the darkness before the dawn, redemption, success, glory....rinse, repeat etc35forever wrote:One player does not a marquee make.eddiesmith wrote:Petracca would be a massive get, but it's hard to see how it happens, why would he leave Melbourne for Collingwood?

Great post, but by marquee player I mean highest paid player locked in for next 7 seasons which would make it hard. But then I thought of how Steele and Pendles will be gone and that’s why a 26-27 y.o superstar midfielder is exactly what we need to guide the next generation.35forever wrote:One player does not a marquee make.eddiesmith wrote:Petracca would be a massive get, but it's hard to see how it happens, why would he leave Melbourne for Collingwood?

Demons were 9th last year and 17th the year before.
