SAM BUNN reports from Collingwood.

Good signs for several key Pies at training this morning.

Mason Cox, Brodie Grundy, Jordan De Goey, Darcy Moore and Matt Scharenberg have all been training with the main group so far.

Jaidyn Stephenson is jogging boundary side with a physio/staff member, while Taylor Adams and Jamie Elliott are doing rehab.

We'll have more from the Pies later, with coach Nathan Buckley set to face the media at midday.

Anyone looking at round 14 trade in targets. Treloar and Oliver will be great prices after their byes. Expecting around 525k for Oliver and 500k for Treloar.
Could go Cogs and Goldstein for Oliver and Grundy, might only cost 80k :p
now that is very interesting
In R6, with a move that looked like it had seriously backfired until last week I traded OUT Lachie Neale (at $687k) and brought in Coniglio for a $150k profit.
Neale has since gone at 112, Cogs has gone at 102 PIT 65, so not quite as I'd hoped.
But it very well looks like they could be almost the same price going into R14, which is quite the miracle. If Cogs makes another largish score in the next two weeks he could be almost 600k and very, very tradeable.

Wait - you traded OUT Lachie Neale?

Did I read that right?

As some astute coaches have pointed out, Cogs actually has a history of being ordinary and then punching out big scores.
In 2018, on his way to a 21/108 season after starting with 5 straight 100s he had 10 games out of 16 at 100 or less. Four of his 100+ scores in that time were 157, 150, 143 and 138.
In 2016, on his way to a 21/106 season he again punched out 6 straight 100s and then had 6 of 13 at 100 or less while still hitting 139, 138 and 121 in that run.
GC have given up some huge scores so may just have accentuated one of his spike games. He looks to be a player that either goes on a 5-6 game run of solid hundreds or pumps out 70-90 type scores with the occasional spike. His spikes seems to be getting bigger (154 and 207 this year) but he's already had a run of 4 100+ scores so I'd say settle in for a roller coaster: frustrating 80s and 90s punctuated with 140+.
Could be good to let him appreciate after his 200 then swap him out - given enough trades.
