All clubs make bad trades, does the recruitment of Cameron Wood to Collingwood for pick 15 or Chris Bryan on a 2 year deal ring any bells?

Malthouse was instrumental in getting Buckley over to Collingwood from the Bears, don't forget.

Oh FFS, do you really believe this stuff?
Malthouse wouldn't have known Docherty if he stood up in his coco pops.
It's the role of one of the recruiting staff to look at fringe players at other AFL clubs. The same as someone looks at the VFL, TAC, SANFL etc etc. (You know, the recruiting staff you continuously bag based on zero knowledge of their roles or responsibilities)
They make the recommendations.

But no, according to you, everything good = Mick, everything bad = Ratten/recruiting staff.
I swear some of you go to bed with a photo of Mick and have a good old Uncle Doug until your hand slips off the end and knocks you senseless.

At least give credit where it's due.

Don't turn this around. The whole point of my post was that the like of you make out that everything Mick does is bad & ignore the positives

Think you'll find Buckley was at Collingwood about 5 or 6 years before Mick arrived.

No. The whole point is, once again you're full of crap.

Not to mention redundant.

Do you actually understand the concept of free agency?

And in the end when you have nothing left- the last bullet in the gun is a personal attack. Lay it on pal

Jezz has freckles on his penis ...?????

Didnt mick fly to brisbane to talk with doc? Presumably to convince him to come to carlton

Yes, I do.

Why do you ask ?

Well, I think the club has an opportunity to use some of the rule changes to its advantage this off season if they are bold and use their brains (which clearly on both counts would be a 180 from the last decade and require someone other than McKay to be involved).

In addition to all the obvious delistings, let's say they let Waite go in FA, trade Garlett to WCE for a second rounder and trade Kreuzer for hopefully a first, but more likely a second and a favouarble swap of later picks.

Instead of being typical, stupid and short sighted Carlton, they don't go and splurge that freed up $ and bank it for either a FA next year or chisel out one of the kids from GWS.

there should be a LOT of $ coming off the books this year. Unless McKay decides Judd is worth another $1m, Waite is worth another 2 year deal etc. All of which is far more likely than anything sensible happening.
