Just as interesting was Scott Burns comments that he'd be reluctant to break up a cohesive group by trading players for picks to be used to get Judd.

Maybe the Pies over inflated sense of self worth might come in handy for once!

Don't rule out trades to make trades; trading names to get picks to trade to the Eagles.

To be honest though, and I'm not just saying this, I personally think it will get to a stage for the Pies when Eddie is just going to say, "No, No..that's just too much. Forget about it..."

If the Collingwood fans on BF are any indication of their Footy Departments... there's not a snowballs chance in hell of him being a magpie. I have no idea of who he will nominate... but if it's Collingwood it's going to cost them dearly to get the deal over the line. The bad blood runs deep and the Eagles would rather see him go to anyone of the other three clubs IMO.

Sorry to deviate from the tread topic here and to sound a bit naive at the same time.......

But can anyone tell me why this actually is?

I have read about the fact there is "bad blood" regarding past trades between the Pies and the Weagles, but I have no idea where this actually came from.

So if someone could clue me in it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help :) !!!

It goes back to them refusing to offer anything substantial for Gehrig... it stalled trade negotiations across the board, in the end Fraser was forced to go to the Saints. Magpies also wanted Chad Morison. Rather than try to do a proper trade with the Eagles, they tried to get him to walk and go into the PSD. There are others, but can't think of them right now.

Grazman is correct - the above is the real story. The Eagles philosophy has, and will be, seeking draft choices as they seem to manage their selctions very well, rather than seek players. They wanted picks from Collingwood who refused and wanted to offer rubbish. The rumours about animosity to malthouse are just that - rumours.

Collingwood will need to offer serious picks, not players, and after last friday's effort they will be loathed to break up the young group by trading to, say, Richmond for Pick 2 which they then give to eagles, or if they do, Eddie can write out his resignation now.

The rumour today of offering Josh Fraser to Richmond for the coveted 1st pick , which then goes to the Eagles, in the draft is laughable.

Yeah, I can't see the Pies making a move such as trading some pure young talent for a high draft pick. I mean, who on their list, that they would actually trade, is worth a 1-5 pick? All of the players that are actually worth one of those picks they would have to be ludicrous to trade and the players they would offer wouldnt be worth it.

Fraser for No. 1? If you say it's laughable because the Tigers wouldnt do it then fair enough, but Fraser is worth a 10-15 pick, at best. Isn't he like 29?

The rumour was Fraser AND Didak for Pick 2 plus Tambling. IMO if Collingwood were considering that, Richmond would have the whip hand and may get pick 13 for it as well. Rumour then continued that WCE would get Pick 2 plus Tambling and Collingwood get Judd.

Lots of ifs, buts and maybes in the rumour.

BTW, Fraser will be 26 in January. No 1 pick two years after Johnstone. Just seems to have been around forever....

As l've thought all along unless the eddies want to part with Pendlebury or Thomas or Clarke they won't get Judd, gotta be realistic

The Pies massively overrate their own players

Chris Judd is worth THomas, Pendlebury and a 2nd rounder

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
