Not good taste.
Not good taste.
One of Ludwig's best posts! Grow up boys......
You're offended by a picture of a woman breastfeeding?
I don't agree with Ludwig's characterisation of Rohan and Hannebery as cry babies. Indeed, I think it's unfair to them as the trades seem to have been initiated by the club, not the players. In the case of Rohan we know that to be the case. With Hannebery we don't know for sure who raised the idea but it seems to have been mutual in the end.
Apart from that, I think Ludwig's observations are perfectly reasonable.
Tastelessness is a matter of taste. What part do you find offensive?
Even the most supposedly offensive stuff I post on here is mild to what we all encounter on a regular basis in the real world. Those who would find my last post offensive must have trouble leaving their homes, because they must world out there totally paralyzing.
I just exaggerate things a bit to make a point. We all know that already.
Assuming we'll be using picks 26 & 33 to secure Blakely in the ND, we will be considering packaging picks 38/39/40 in any combination to gain higher pick? Clubs can still do pick trading till Nov 16th & live pick trading on Draft night itself.
Collingwood now only have 600 points to secure their NGA & F/S which won't be near enough. Gets messy if they have to delve into next year's picks. Is it possible they will now not consider matching bids for either/both players?

Harley's summation of the trade period seems positive. Had their eyes on Clarke and Thurlow for some time apparently. Interesting that he mentioned getting extra picks for next year as important. Is there an academy kid coming through that we might need points for? How old are the Longmire colts?
Glad it's over, the thread has resembled a post-loss thread at times.
I think it's hard to 'rate' trade performance of clubs, as we aren't privy to the club finances nor conversations with agents about player circumstances and preferences. Each club would have different objectives. Also, the wisdom of these trades will be hard to judge for some time. We brought Rhyce Shaw in for the difference between picks 61 and 46; we brought Morton in for 79 and he kicked two goals in a grand final win.
We clearly targeted a few players to recruit and release and mostly executed that, with a net gain in points and a couple of ins who were drafted at picks 16 and 31.
I thought Ludwig nailed it with the written contribution in the post above. The image was probably a bit much.
This is what i was thinking.
An early pick on Isaac Quaynor see them use up all their picks and points.
We then make a bid on Josh Kelly, who I rate and watch Eddie blow up.
Kelly is a very good player.
POS: Key defender

August ranking: 19
The Collingwood father-son prospect sits comfortably among the best group of key position defenders in this year's crop. He has come on well as the season has grown, having played at school level largely as a forward. However, his best spot seems to be in defence, where his athleticism and competitiveness comes to the fore. The 18-year-old is the son of 1990 Magpies premiership player Craig Kelly
