The best of Mihocek would be brilliant for us. I just worry - given how his year played out - that he's cooked physically.

He's been such a workhorse that maybe his body is done. Fingers crossed my feelings are unfounded.

Anyone with any doubts whatsoever, needs to watch these. Does everything a forward should and does it well. Great get.

I vehemently disagree with this statement.

Yes Goody was way off to play Petty fwd for 2 years who managed under a goal a game. Yes that's correct.....a season average over two years by of les than a goal a game from our tallest fwd.

He did help out in the ruck a bit but wasn't very good. And for his athleticism and height he barely took any contested marks. He just doesn't have the core strength for the role.

But we had a player in Fritta whose form like Milks would wax and wane ( more wane) with the latter starting the season relatively late.

Kozzie understandably played more in the midfield so didn't kick as many rolls as he could have despite a pretty good season as usual.

Jvr and the young Jeffo who was finally getting better were quite ordinary.

And despite our often poor delivery i50 our fwd line was a bust.

At my age (late 60s) I agree 35 is youngish...but for a footballer?

Oops, meant a forward 20-25 would be a good age.

My mum's favorite player at Collingwood. She's a Collingwood supporter and said she'd barrack for Brisbane now Mihochek has gone. LOVE IT MADE MY DAY.

He managed 22 games last year. Must be fit. But certainly no spring chicken.

So I hear you. Let's hope your fingers work.

Even when we had Ben brown, one of the best lead up forwards going around, we still kicked it long on his head!!! Insane game plan

Miihocek can lead and mark, take pack marks, kick accurately from set shots, is nimble and kicks field goals. Was the Filth's leading goal-kicker for multiple years. He is exactly what our forward line needs. Can't wait to see him running riot in red and blue and watching his influence on JVR next year. Welcome Brodie Mihocek.

I agreed and then I thought about it. What if Maynard came to Melbourne. What would we do then? (Feeling somewhat queasy just thinking about it.)

Drown in my own vomit.

Mihocek on Saturday informed the Pies that he would be leaving the club for the Demons following Collingwood's best and fairest.

The unrestricted free agent would be unlikely to garner any high level compensation for the Pies given his age – 32 – and the short-term contract, meaning a deal could still be done as a back-end trade.

Under free agency rules, the compensation pick a club gets for losing a player can be diluted or even withdrawn if they bring in another player via free agency.

Pfft

Funny enough whenever we played the pies, he was one of the players I worried about stopping.

I just hope van rooyen stays out of his way & doesn't try to mark over him.

But having brody there might help fritta to & free him up more.

Don't mind the 2 year deal but injury prone.

Would have been a great get 3 years ago, feels a little Chris Dawes.

Furphy. In his eight seasons at Collingwood, he averaged 20 games per year.

Brody Mihocek welcome to the Demons! Hope it works out better than the last Brody we got from Pies!!

Yes But i still blame Max and the playing group for that stuff up

Desperately wanting a picture of him in his dees jumper along with first interview to forward to magpie mates

Question...

I know the club would prefer to trade for Mihocek to avoid diluting the Spargo compensation pick (currently 42)

However, if we end up bringing in Mihocek as a free agent, what's stopping us from trading the Spargo pick in another trade beforehand (an example might be the deal for Heath) so it's not affected?

Done deal.

Seems we gave up a lot to preserve pick 40 this year. We should have used the preseason draft.

It’s okay, we’ll get it back in the Oliver trade … er

It depends what year.

If 2026 it will probably be in the 45 to 50/54 range which carry some draft points for bid matching purposes. If 2027 it may well be in the 50+ range in which case it has little value to anyone.

Either way it is a pick JT probably wouldn't use so we get a player for little cost.

And the Charlie pick could be a key piece in a deal this year.
