Jaded No More

He is lucky he is a good looking man, because that jumper is heinous.

Yep we are not Fremantle. We don’t deny our players trades only to grant them late for low return. Weideman deserved a fresh start and I’m glad we gave it to him. I think we got a good return in pick 37 and a cheap backup tall option which we really needed. It’s a win win and I wish Weideman all the best.

The point is that we got pick 37 for Weideman now and next year when he’s OOC we would get zilch. Schace cost us nothing and is unrelated to Weideman.

I’m just all in on footballer who have cute dogs. Dogs are definitely the way to my heart

Hawks just giving away their midfield for nothing. Absolute shambles. Freo getting O’Meara pisses me off. We need them to suck next year.

Get him right off field and this is an absolute bargain.

As long as Kosi is in no way involved in a trade for Georgiades next year I’m happy.

I mean he is definitely better than taking a chance on a third round pick after we win the flag next year.

Seems... thrilled?

He's a Melbourne player now, so welcome and go well! Get training with your good mate Clarry and lets go.

Look for a future 3rd we probably won't even use it is a low risk.

And I bet he will be on a less coin? Could be wrong tho.

Sounds like we are happy to do the trade for cheap, and maybe the Dogs are not. Perhaps they'll cave late if they get the Lobb deal across the line? F3 sounds about right.

What is his surname?

It's a win win deal. I wonder if we trade pick 37 for Hunter.

North called. They want their spoon back.

Grundy is a totally different situation. Pies didn’t pay us a top 10 pick to take him. We did a trade. Yes it was unders but it was still a proper trade where Pies got pick 27 and we go a player and we are sharing his salary. This deal is basically paying for top end draft picks. It’s stupid.

Thought his statement was very lovely and spoke of a player deeply hurt by what went on at Collingwood. No different to Treloar, he will have a point to prove and might finally help us beat Collingwood.

Of course if Melbourne got that deal I would be over the moon, but the reality is that this is a one sided trade and makes a mockery of the draft, trade week and list management practices. You can't just throw away top 10 draft picks because you overcooked your books and need to get rid of contracted players. I am the first person to get annoyed at players holding clubs over a barrel, but likewise you can't commit to players for long term on big dollars, then go "oh noes" and then do a stupid deal to dump them. It's akin to Melbourne going "soz Oliver we can't honour your 7 year deal... please go to Geelong and we will give Geelong pick 7 as well". WTF?!

AFL handing GC 900 first round draft picks, only for GC to cook their books and give away players and top 10 picks for free. Seriously, how is this OK?

Can completely respect his decision. He is good enough to play consistent senior footy. Deserves that chance.

DISGRACEFUL!

If you want to see what real class is, have a look at Jayden Hunt's Instagram. A player we essentially didn't try too hard to keep, being gracious and thankful, versus a player we spent pick 3 on, who won a flag with us, and who ran home at the first chance he got.

He was always too hipster for the Collingwood Football Club
