Tarrant and Pick 44 to Collingwood for Pick 43 and 55

Strange times we live in.

Let's hope he gets the flag he is chasing. :D

Interesting trade. Not sure who wins out of this?

DazBurg · October 11, 2010, 01:49:39 PM

suppose it's a win win
collingwood wanted him back he wanted back there and fremantle wanted something for him
all got what they wanted

Will be annoyed if Freo pip the player Collingwood wants at pick 43! But happy

valkorum · October 11, 2010, 03:23:03 PM

I am keen to see who gets picked up at #55. That draft pick has done the rounds this year.

Freo > GC > Bris > Pies > Freo

I was thinking of that when I heard the trade ;D.

Wouldn't it be horrible if Tarrant can't get a game next season ;). Presti, Brown, Reid and Goldsack to contend with. Will have some competition for a spot in the lineup ;).

Depth is always good though HP. I'll take depth over Geelongs backline any day.

It's good no doubt. But why trade for a player if they have enough already? Will lead to one of these young players having to be dropped in order to fit him in.

Experience is a big plus though. Different teams have different types of forwards. For quicker legs, Taz would go before Presti. Strength wise, Presti first. There is a lot of different ways that it could play out but with Presti's age, its worthy. Not smart considering Taz' age though.

Will have to see how it goes. Who knows, we might seem him down forward again to replace Clokes shower kicking ahha

To replace Clokes shower kicking with Taz's :P

Of course. It's the Collingwood way.

Saw this comment in one of the Herald Sun trade week news things:

How do the Magpies fit these new players under a salary cap? They already have the best players and the most depth. Is it a Melbourne thing and they just hide the dollars like the Storm did? Not much of a cap system if the strongest get stronger.

Comment 6 of 6

How funny is that? lol

McRooster · October 11, 2010, 10:04:39 PM

Why?

Boomz · October 11, 2010, 10:40:09 PM

Could be a stuff up on collingwoods part but they didn't have to give up too much for him I suppose...

McRooster · October 11, 2010, 10:59:42 PM

I just think the cultural influence of being back in Melbourne may see Taz have a harmful effect on younger brigade and old mates returning to old ways.
If he's not going to play a major role on field then I can't see why he'd be brought back, when cancer comes back it strikes you down faster and more vehemently than before.
Mick has found the cure so why re-introduce the cause?
