I thought Geelong need that ability because they gave away their future 2nd to Brisbane for a pick swap so how are they gonna pay for Oliver Henry and the Bowes pick 7 deal with out using their future 1st??I don’t understand the AFL rejecting Port’s request. Horne-Francis is a first year player, not exactly trading away the future.
If it was Geelong…
The AFL would not be keen on NORTH losing JHF, after just giving the Club priority picks ......nothing more needs to be saidI don’t understand the AFL rejecting Port’s request. Horne-Francis is a first year player, not exactly trading away the future.
If it was Geelong…
And with their priority picks they were player conditional, it suits the AFL more if North gets a player out of PortThe AFL would not be keen on NORTH losing JHF, after just giving the Club priority picks ......nothing more needs to be said
So the AFL want him to stay and see out the initial contact so other top 5 picks don't get the same idea and leave bottom clubs for better teams after one year?The AFL would not be keen on NORTH losing JHF, after just giving the Club priority picks ......nothing more needs to be said
Exactly .....the AFL would be very worried re the number of Draftee's leaving Clubs after their initial 2 years .....they don't want to be seen to actually be encouraging the activitySo the AFL want him to stay and see out the initial contact so other top 5 picks don't get the same idea and leave bottom clubs for better teams after one year?
4 way deals are unusual.
Why would the Roos give up the chance for a Jeremy Cameron like player, as they lack key position players after dining out on midfielders in previous drafts?
Geelong are being gifted pick 7 and they are haggling over what give back.So they are now reporting Geelong future 3rd rounder for pick 7 and Bowes. Unbelievable. Surely this can’t be allowed

GC should back flip on them. Offer a later pick with him insteadGeelong are being gifted pick 7 and they are haggling over what give back.
How can this s**t be allowed to happen?

Probably need the 400k off the books this year.It sounds like Bowes is willing to spread the $1.6m over 4 years instead of 2.
So why don’t Gold Coast just do that and keep Bowes and Pick 7?
It doesn’t make sense?
They’ll probably give away 5GC should back flip on them. Offer a later pick with him instead
Unless he's got no confidence in even getting a minimum chips contract after this one, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.It sounds like Bowes is willing to spread the $1.6m over 4 years instead of 2.

I’m surprised by the lack of criticism at gc on this.Probably need the 400k off the books this year.
He also probably wouldn’t agree to them pushing it back again.
Honestly I don’t think anyone gives a shit about them.I’m surprised by the lack of criticism at gc on this.
Not just from the salary cap but they’ve given themselves 0 room for negotiation.
Why couldn’t they say we’ll trade Bowes for cheap like the pies did with Treloar ?
Instead they’re pissing top 10 picks up against a wall.
Imagine if Reid had gotten us into the same situation?
They might still make an allowance for Geelong..."discretion".I don’t understand the AFL rejecting Port’s request. Horne-Francis is a first year player, not exactly trading away the future.

To move up two spots just to get a player that still would have been there even if they didn't trade itShouldn't of traded this year's second last year.
