Saw an angry Collingwood fan call him a 'trader' for leaving - enjoyed that one

Suck on that Pies. Hope you enjoy seeing your favourite son winning a flag next year

May will have two options from the kick outs now!!

I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

Yes but, “Trader” OD. If you’re gonna bag an ex player at least spell your insult correctly.

Deal done. Pick 27.

No suggestion of later pick swap/slide.

Only question is how much of his salary they'll pay.

You mean we didn’t slide to pick 16 for 13 & 27, but but the Demonland naysayers said we would

Gawn’s contract may well have been loaded differently.

I don’t think you can ever truly evaluate the list management of a club unless they are having a fire sale, or unable to sign key players. To be fair we have a lot of our best players on long terms contracts. We would have known Jackson’s value and offered him an amazing deal. He wanted to go home so we spent that money on a dual All Australian. To be in the position to do that reflects well I reckon.

What's wrong about that WCW! Only joking. Suddenly the accuser becomes the [censored]. 

[Caligula's cohort 1,014]

Love getting one up on the Pies. Makes up for that terrible Kennedy and pick 29 for Howe trade.

[DeeZone 7,701]

Well that feels a bit better if we can get Max and Brodie superfit look out 2023 and beyond. Just need that extra big forward and backup ruck and we will be on a roll.!!!

Welcome to the club my big pony tailed friend!

Quite funny isn't PSD. IMO we have done quite well in the trade period. Got overs for Jackson and paid Unders for the bun.

Even so, he wouldn’t be a trader. Rather, he’d be a tradee, no?

That's true although there is clearly one gaping hole that usually takes plenty of dollars to fill.

I'm liking OD Version 10.0.

Looking forward to seeing his first game for the red and the blue in person for once… 

[rpfc 27,434]

Looking forward to 2023. Of the $$$ is what is mooted this is great value.

Gawn won’t ever be AA ruckman again and that’s ok. If he can kick 30+ goals and allow us to kick to the top of the square then great. Let’s fashion a fwd line around that.

Adding word for context

[Jaded No More 57,784]

He was always too hipster for the Collingwood Football Club

[DubDee 20,546]

The last big man we traded in from pies was Dawes for pick 20. I have a feeling this might be a more solid trade

But we were set on doing that anyway with Jackson. It worked ok in 21. Fingers crossed it works again.

Again, he won’t be again. He will be FF moving into the ruck.
