It's the end of a five-year plan with a full reset next year.

Let's celebrate our legends this year and still pinch a few surprise wins to attract free agents.

Then next year we reset.

Defence will be strong with Maynard and Quaynor for...

a few more years pies made a prelim last year and we're winning at halftime i'm sure pies thought they might be able to go again we were never ever winning the flag this season so two contradictory views and consecutive texts every team's run comes to end at some point collingwood has played three prelims and a flag in five years the fans won't mind a reset at all

The Pies have made the age-old mistake of trying to squeeze out a little more from a list that won a flag but is running on fumes.

A history check would show that trading our first-round picks to top up with free agents to have a tilted and unlikely premiership is fraught with danger.

Michael from Bentley East.

Harvey Harrison is a gun.

Ed Allen should be a player.

Our prime squad is still pretty good.

Nick, Josh, Quaynor, McCreary, Schultz, Perryman, Houston, and Maynard.

See, I reckon there's a few questions.

If that is your core, there's too many question marks there.

I think Fly is dragging some of these older, slower players to the Pendles record game and then we'll see significant change.

People saying we have no depth is ridiculous.

Charlie West, Will Hayes, Sam Swadling, Noah Howes all killing it in the VFL and still have Bobby Hill to come in.

But that's sort of the point, isn't it?

They won't play Charlie West.

Will Hayes, I was a bit shocked to see that he was dropped and the other two haven't had a look at it.
