Collingwood traded because they had to. Getting rid of Beams and H wasn't there idea. Replacing them with average players in Greenhill and Varcoe is like us trading out Cotchin and Rance for M. Wallace and Stanton - it's a loss.

Hawthorn did well but Carlton payed overs for what they gained. Saints got 3 picks in the top 21 but gave up their best tall.

Clubs haven't had a better trade period because they are active. We tried to secure a quality player for minimum cost but both trades feel through through no fault of our own but by all means continue your irrational rants gentlemen.  Wouldn't be the same site without it  ;D

Haha yeah everyone stuffed up except us.  :rollin

I think we dodged a bullet this trade period. We didn't succeed or fail but just because clubs traded doesn't been they were automatically successful.

doesn't mean they were automatic failures either  :thumbsup

Collingwood are weaker after this trade period particularly in the short term so I would suggest that was a fail.

Yeah short term, but they've made the best of a bad situation(beams wanting out) and have absolutely loaded up on blue chip talent the last few years that should reap rewards medium-long term.

If they added Christianson/O'Rourke/frawley  me would no complain

Hawthorn are the clear trade winners this year for mine

Brisbane
St Kilda
also huge winners amongst a lot of teams who have improved their positions

Brisbane best 22 looks pretty dam good

the way things stand at the moment recruiting wise - I don't see us making finals next year. that is correct.

I believe the opposite. I don't think we are at a stage where we need to top up and should still be using our early picks to draft in young talent we can develop. When we're top 4 then its time to go fishing. We tried to bring talent in without giving away too much so you can't say we sat on our hands for this trade period.

We underperformed horribly this year and still scraped into the 8. We are still a young team improving. Other teams are aging and trying to top up to stay within striking distance. The 8 will have a different look next year imo. I'm not sure we will make the top 4 but I wouldn't be surprized.

How are we going to get to top 4? We will have natural improvement within the group but so does every other club. It's all about how much more you can improve. Unless Griffiths, Vickery, Astbury, batchelor and Lennon all become a or b graders we won't be challenging for top 4. We'll be in a dogfight to make the bottom of the 8 with another 8-9 sides

stuff me, some on here cannot be kept happy. Trade for players and the whingeing about not going to the draft for a young bloke begins.

don't agree. Griffen has what 3 years left and No 6 could be a good player or a bust. Boyd gives the bulldogs what they've wanted for years a big key forward who can play. They have an emerging midfield. The dogs have done alright here.

Yes like a young Lockett was a spud.

Groupie you do realise this is your OER account and not BF where you don't stand out as much for being a 'tard?

Also, tigs2010 can't like any of your posts here.
