Pies fans would believe that once a Collingwood player leaves their club for another, they all of a sudden become a superstar and wonder why they couldn't play like that at our club.
Personnel changes in coaching staff and the general direction the club wanted to go in, meant that trading of players had to occur to ensure that success was in reach.
A list is compiled to highlight those who, if they stayed in the black & white, could've had an impact to this day or until they retired.
Here are the best 10 players Collingwood have traded or delisted since 2003:
10. Jarrod Witts
Witts played a total of 40 games with the Pies with 20 of them coming in season 2014 where he averaged 10 touches and 19 hit-outs per game.
The emergence of Brodie Grundy and the development of Mason Cox and Darcy Moore meant that Witts would struggle to find a place in Collingwood's best 22 and it eventually saw him traded to the Suns at the end of 2016.
Since then, he has become Gold Coast's co-captain alongside David Swallow and hasn't missed a game in the past couple seasons.
