You'd have to laugh at Collingwood supporters wouldn't you?

I remember when the trade happened they were all saying we were delusional for trading pick 20 for him which ended up being Tim Broomhead and now with Cloke struggling, you'd know they'd like to take that back wouldn't you.

Lol. Love Dawesy

HAHAHHAHAH

That's a classic :')

Broomhead has been BOG a few times in the VFL. Missed a lot of last year I think with glandular. All expectations are he'll be a player.

Dawes benefits from being an important leader and player with us. His replacement, who was cheaper in terms of money and draft pick has been Jessie White. Not to mention they have Ben Reid injured.

It's a win-win trade.

The question for Collingwood is whether they should've kept Dawes, Wellingham, H. Shaw, maybe even Jolly just for finals and gone after winning a flag this year. Hawthorn are faltering, Sydney are looking good but not amazing, Geelong look a bit past their prime, Port need a year or so more. Collingwood fans must love that their rebuild is looking good and that they'll be a competitive side for a long time and build under Buckley. But there must still be resentment that after winning a flag with a really young list they only tried the next year before tipping themselves out of the premiership window.

They've pretty much said to Swan and Maxwell it's unlikely you'll win another flag and to guys like Reid, Cloke and Pendlebury in their prime that they will go backwards before they go forwards.

Not a win-win trade until Broomhead plays a game and makes an impact. They could certainly use Dawes in their F50 atm.

I would say they swapped Dawes for Lynch who they brought in to play the same role. Sure, the picks don't align, but that's what they did. Hasn't exactly been a great move so far for them.

I actually thought this topic was a pizztake when I first saw it. Where does that name have it's origins in?

Definitely in the win column for the Dees at this stage.

This topic usually gets swept under the carpet, good to see someone get a handle on it.

Needs to bulk up around the neck region.

On draft night I thought the pies had cleaned up with Broomhead.

It's a sweeping statement but wouldn't the pies have been better off using Broomhead early doors to add youthful vigor in replacement of Chris.

So many bad puns. I don't know what to say...

so the pies aren't swept off their feet ?

I don't know what it is for the Pies, but it is a huge win for us. Neeld was a horror and some of his moneyball recruiting was way off, but as far as the major/central part of his recruiting strategy he did get a few things very right.

You people need to brush up on your puns. They are making me bristle.
