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:
9. Paul Seedsman
The pacey winger played 11 games in his first season at Collingwood and notched up a total of 49. In and out of the team, Seedsman struggled to secure a spot in an under-performing Pies outfit.
His highlight would be when he won the 2015 ANZAC Day medal after 31 touches, 14 inside 50s and a goal. This game looked like the coming of age for Seedsman.
At the end of 2015, Seedsman was traded to the Crows. He found some form and continuity in 2018 resulting in him playing 19 games, but injury has meant he hasn't been able to hit the park as often.
