That's my point. He shouldn't be making such bold statements only to have us cave a few days later. Negotiating 101

That's how I roll

Pick 6 and JKH for pick 3

Didn't hear anyone else saying that Howe and Kennedy would be separate deals only to make them the same deal 3 days later. Didnt hear anyone else saying pick 6-3 upgrade was a bench mark of trade only to then trade Kennedy for Howe and pick 63

Is that you Josh?

Whose the biggest fail left on our list now?

Could we be potentially trading any other players out?

Port slid 3 spots in second round and pick 50 for Toump.

So much for Kennedy and Howe Will be two separate trades

Wouldn't put Parish in the same bucket as Jack Viney Nate Jones or Sam Mitchell, they are al built like Bulls. Parish is not

Curnow may be available at 5 though. Ain't no one got time for an undersized mid who is crap in the air.

Looks like GC may get pick 5. Could pick 5 be enough to snare the player we want while costing us less?

They will lobby the AFL to let them lobby 2 future years draft picks the following year or some [censored]. These teams will put themselves in massive draft debt to move up the ladder, this will result in their future picks being worth Jack [censored] also

Could we be targeting pick 10 as part of mega trade as net return for Howe+ ToumpAs?

Trade period has turned into 'how to facilitate all the players wanting to play for Collingwood' Crock of [censored] every year, everything is always held up by the same [censored].

Why didn't howe have these meetings prior to trade period? Too busy with Bali?

That is but they have far greater flexibility to get the trade down. Pick 15 and 25 maybe? Or 18/23? They can mix and match to what works to beat us for the pick

I understand this but after Carlisle trade, Essendon will have picks 15 18/23 and 25 to trump us for pick 8. We won't have 2 picks better then 15 and 18.

Pick 20 and 29 for pick 8 will get trumped by Essendon.

I like your optimism however this is J Mahoney we talking about. He takes 4 days to do a straight pick of Melksham for pick 25. The above scenario would mean he needs to increase his output by at least 5-6 fold to achieve with everything working in our favour. Love the scenario and optimism but J Mahoney is not capable of delivering.

Ok

Yeah wtf was that. Right after I asked about his thoughts on Howe and pick 3/6

Care to share thghts in Howe and pick 3/6?

I have a feeling Toump will stay. We arn't hearing reports of him meeting Port/doing Medicals/manager being a [censored] ect. It's really quiet in the Toumpas camp right now. Usually is some posturing ect

His too small, one contested mark in 14 games says it all. We want players who throw themselves at the ball in the air and in the ground like Fyfe. Hope we go for Curnow, combination of Curnow/Petracca/Trengove/Kent rotating through forward/half forward and even in the midfield could really push opposition teams to defence. Having this marking power will also make it hard for oppositions to get out of D50
