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 Haha yeah everyone stuffed up except us. 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 Collingwood are weaker after this trade period particularly in the short term so I would suggest that was a fail.

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. Go to the draft for young blokes and the whingeing about not trading for a player begins.
