2022 Trade Period. (COMPLETED)

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

General consenseous is that Henry to stay at the Pies.

Dunno how to feel about the new Weideman to Essendon news.

Depends on how interested you are in the VFL.

Happy for him to spud up their list

Methinks the big deals possibly won't happen until Wednesday... all stage managed.

Yep I agree. The TV ratings will take precedence over the player ratings on Wednesday. Probably more important.

[Haff]

lets say Grundy had a few years to run on a 750K salary and we were keen to free that up, do you reckon we would get the first rounder we all want (but wont get). I think so, we'd be pushing a top 5 pick.

It seems so odd that for Grundy we are pushing pick 25 and for Henry <18 (which we also wont get, farking Geelong).

The hardest thing for us as supporters to grasp is the salary impacts on these trades so it makes it so hard to gauge the value of a trade on picks alone.

What it says to me is that 7 year deals are dying (hopefully dead at our club) OR the player contract is more with the AFL and not the clubs, and the clubs will trade contracts and not players. The player almost becomes irrelevant in these types of deals.

Should Collingwood forget about picks and deal for player/s only in this case? Wondering if we can measure the value of the deal better this way than from picks/future picks which can be a bit risky and is in the unknown basket. Tough choice I reckon. I tend to prefer players as the better option.

Everything is being delayed until 4:59pm Wednesday, so Caro can get one last big scoop before she retires

The problem with that is, what is the likelihood of Collingwood having a player to trade to another club, where that same club has a player of similar ranking, being prepared to come to your club in return. For instance, which Dees player comes to Collingwood for Grundy, where both clubs and the Melbourne player would all need to agree.
Trading for a pick is not only a more viable currency to determine a trade return but let’s not forget, as soon as you accept that pick, you can then use that currency to hopefully spend on a target player from one of 17 other clubs you’re looking for.

Like Jackson has gone to Fremantle.

i guess this means Melbourne will now want Grundy. I presume we have already made a gentleman's agreement that this will happen.

[Mr Miyagi]

Surely we get pick 13 for Grundy. If not, they can get [noise crows make]

Even better, Melbourne trades us pick 13 for Ollie just for Geelong’s reaction.

Honestly, Rendell is an arse clown! https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/10/10/ ... pies-says/

I can’t stand listening to him.

He often gets his facts wrong or has clearly not researched the topics being discussed.

I heard him today discussing Grundy. He must have a proper gripe with the pies. He was basically laughing the whole time when saying Melb have us ‘bent over a barrel’

What did we do to him when he was with us, other than fire him? He’s got a proper gripe!

[stui magpie]

Apparently the AFL has approved a 3 way with Norf, Cows and Wiggles involving Rioli and Horne Francis to Port and high picks flying everywhere .

So much for late Wednesday.
