    With so many stupid suggestions in this thread a few good and bad ones are bound to slip through to the keeper.

      That's not right. There are 20 premiership players on the list and some would command some decent exchanges with the right clubs.

      Some potential trade baits are -

      Buchanan
      Schneider
      O'Keefe
      Ablett
      J.Bolton
      Dempster
      Davis
      Malceski
      Jolly
      Fosdike

      Everyone has there favourites but there seems to be universal acceptance by everyone except Paul Roos that the current list won't win us another premiership.

      Chris Tarrant was traded by Collingwood for a first round pick - they ended up with 2 top 10 picks last year. That's how to rebuild a list.
      So which of these are you suggesting we trade (other than Bolton & Jolly that I mentioned)?

      Pies received Ben Reid for Taz - Reid didn't play on Saturday & had very little impact on where they are today. Far more impact came from their priority picks & from some excellent rookie selections. Neither involved trading.

          I'm not suggesting anyone in particular for trade - I was responding to your comment that their isn't any trade bait in the squad outside the two you mentioned. Clearly there is.

          I would say the Collingwood rebuilding is a work in process so they'll be in very good shape in a few years - not just now.
          Roos has already said Sydney will trade their way back to the top with recycled players so if that's the case he'll need to offer quality players to get the sort of quality he presumably wants to bring in.

              I respect your difference of opinion, but I would have to say that these that you listed weren't good trades.
              that's just my opinion, but if you think they contributed to the club and would like to add them to my list of what I consider excellent trades, then so be it.

                You need to give up something to get what you want in return which is why talk of trading Mathews, Crouch, Bevan etc is a pointless exercise.
                Yeah, thats what I was trying to say.
                Of course I don't want to lose O'Keefe, IMO he is one of our most important players, but it DOES happen for the right trade and we should be prepared for losing a player.

                If everyone here has small opinions of B1, Matthews, McVeigh, Fosdike etc, then what opinion do you think the other clubs will have.

                If they're not worth much, they're maybe not worth trading.

                  O'Keefe would be one player West Coast would be interested in for their struggling forward line and they could send a Kerr for example in return.

                  Unlikely to happen, but a logical trade that would leave both clubs better off IMO.
