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.

    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.

    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 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
