That one way to look at it I guess.
Another would be that, had we not been trying to shed $$$ and everyone knew it, we would have gotten adequately compensated, let’s say 3x first rounders and a second for Phillips.

1. If he’s over paid who’s fault is that?????
2. 2018 Rising Star - super talent - one bad year. Give up on him and persist with complete duds like Thomas and super scared Hoskin Elliott? Good clubs persist with super talent after one bad year.
3. 660 possessions in 2019 - look at the duds we have kept

Depends, Phillips i can kinda live with, he had dropped right off, tho pick 65 is an utter insult. Stevo is still young, sure hes had a rotten year, last year gambling issue, ten weeks, but i would have liked to seen him do one more season, post Hub, just to see. Yes Treloar does have big dodgy knees, hammies, but not sure how his separation will play out BUT in both cases we were royally screwed, we should have gotten much better picks fo both of em, we got dudded, really. Time will tell i guess, both are now under big pressure to perform at their new clubs..

Good for you swimming in de Nile. Glad that you can turn today’s events into a positive. I just cannot find that particular attitude inside of me so you are a better man than me Gangadin 😪 |
You know what, you refuse to attribute blame to Buckley. You are so enamoured with Buckley, that you don't know who or what to blame right now. Hence your crisis. You want to blame someone, but don't know who.
You share what many are feeling. You love the coach so much that you don't want to accept that he is actually a failure or capable of failing. That's causing you to struggle to deal with this situation.
You will feel better once you accept our coach isn't all that great. |

It's simple, if you don't get on with Buckley and his dictatorship you are out of the club. It's a throw back to a few years ago when he threw out premiership players who were still in their prime.
Buckley can't create a good culture at the club, where players will stay for less to keep the group together, so they have to throw heaps of money at players to keep them at the club. |

Ah, inxs88 - that's the word I've been looking for - integrity!!!!
I've always thought for 52 years that's what Collingwood had, which was one of the main reasons I followed and stuck by them. Today the club sold that.
I shouldn't be surprised I suppose. It's the way the AFL is these days.
Lazza, look after yourself first and foremost. There has to be some balance between what you give out and what you get back. The club will be getting very little from me from now on. There are still some players in black and white that I feel have that integrity. That's who I 'll be supporting from now on..... just them. |

Watch the Brisbane game and tell me Philips is worth a second rounder. He was best afield for Brisbane.
Treloar is worse than when we picked him up and more costly, so no way we get 2 x 1st round picks for him.
Stepho played scared in the back end of 2020 which dropped his value like a stone in a pool. |

Nailed it.
I don't think the club can move forward in a positive direction as long as McGuire and Buckley are still around.
We need serious renewal and freshness now.

I well recall when Darren Millane died, and Daicos senior retired, or rather forced to retire by Matthews, i was gutted, thought the club would never recover from it for years. But we did. I just hope, with these picks, the Club has some grand plan a the Draft, to recruit some great new talented kids, but right now, im not exactly sure what that grand plan is, really. ? Time will tell, i guess.

So we basically traded 3 players for pick 14, this club is absolutely beyond $%$ed now. Stevo and Treloar are both worth a top 10 pick and we got rid of them both plus steak knives for a pick that is lower than either are worth.
I look forward to Eddie justifying a contract extension for the senior coach when we finish bottom 4 next year. |

And to be fair, you never have a good word to say about anyone, so this shapes as a fairly balanced conversation. |

You're a great contributor to Nick's Lazza. Let's use Nick's as a forum to vent, exorcise and get over this tragic day.

Stop overvaluing our players. The market has spoken. Players we think are Rolls Royce are really Mazda. |
Rubbish: it was a buyers market. We told the world we were desperate to sell so we didn’t get market price. Your premise was wrong so too was ur conclusion: they saw us coming.
