No use getting excited people, we'll get nothing.

Expect less. Reduces disappointment.

No-one will deal with us.

No-one wants our players and will deny interest until we trade them for nothing.

When you're hated the most. This is what happens.

Sounds like the nightmares I have been having.

Sure is frustrating. But at least I know that this time we're out there trying to convince those players who can make that special difference to our squad to come to Collingwood. How aggressive Ed is in the pursuit may sway a few. By aggressive I mean, who are we willing to trade? The current squad was obviously not the right mix. I'm confident we'll be in the mix this time. Not like last yr, where we were spooked. If nothing pans out then so be it. Just have to wait until the boys come of age - literally and figuratively. Shame for Bux though, not much time left on the "clock" this time around

I think this year we will move and shake a little bit. However there is no doubt that what Cam points out is a massive factor. We dont have a tradeable list and dealing with Collingwood has been less then attractive for opposition clubs. I guess the 'Eddie' factor has contributed to this a little in recent years, but I think this same 'Eddie' factor is what will be required to attract players like Luke Ball to this club.

Target Dal Santo. Show him around Lexus. Do everything we can to get him!

Go for broke and put all our efforts into Ball or Bruce so as to free up Bucks and prolong the glory

Agree, Cam. We're �$%$ed this trade period.. as we are every year. Don't bother getting all excited - we'll get jack shit.

Have faith Cam and others.

We do suffer from a lot of professional jealousy when it comes to other clubs but the bottom line is that all clubs are trying to win premierships and will trade with anyone to achieve that. I guess Port can now say they took the right stand with the Stevens (non) trade last year as they have the flag and we have nothing. I am sure not all clubs feel the same way.

I have faith. I just don't wanted to be disappointed.

I get the feeling we will have lost a BIG name come Oct 9th.

Don't know who, but I would put $100 on it.

There was far too much backlash from the CFC fans and the media after last years pathetic trade week, so expect a few things this year.

Im hoping for Josh Hunt, don't mind him at all.

I'll tip no trades again this year.
Does anybody think Nick Stevens is kicking himself right now?

When I say nothing I mean nothing exciting.

So, there will be something, but nothing much. Wink

I'm tipping a deal with Port will take place. And all the bullsh!t about Stevens and the 'no respect' thing will be left behind.

If the Saints want McKee then i think a deal will be done there.

But im not getting excited, it isnt like we'll get Judd.
