Now that the trade is done, can I flip 180 degrees and claim Henry was rubbish and will never amount to anything?

Funnily enough, Graham Wright was the most outspoken in telling Buckley during 1993 that he wasn't wanted at Collingwood due to it meaning two players would be pushed out and the draft pick in that trade was used on Chris Scott.

Wright said today that they're not going to be pursuing Fiorini so put a line through that one.

Wright has kind of backed himself into a corner now by saying Pies won’t take pick 25 and will look foolish if he flips on that. I suspect Henry will get through to the Cats for nothing though and that Collingwood realise this. Don’t be surprised if this is the compromise result: Geelong get...

How about playing for the largest drawing and most famous football club in Australia? I don’t think that is a major problem at all. Geelong has been exceptional in making themselves a destination club through being well run and building a strong culture but in terms of natural destination clubs...

I don’t think us staying at Victoria Park would’ve assisted with player retention. I loved the place too but playing regularly in front of 80k is a far bigger selling point than training and playing in a place where the hot water barely worked

Cough Gary Rohan cough

With Geelong not wanting to give up pick 18 this year and also not being willing to swap 16 and Henry for 7 (reasonably so), I wonder if the following could work as a compromise: Pies give: Henry, Pick 16, next year’s 1st round pick Geelong give: pick 7, next year’s 2nd round.

Just imagine if Henry nominated Essendon. Dodoro would probably be asking us to give our pick 40 on top of Henry and pick 38.

From what’s being reported that’s all they asked for, and what pretty much everyone has accepted is the fair deal. IF and I repeat IF it’s true that Geelong offered pick 38, they can GAGF and Henry can sign a new contract or go to the draft. I’m getting a bit pissed off listening to Henry’s...

In general I don’t like the idea of doing this with players but if the reports today are true that Geelong are claiming 18 is too much for Henry, Collingwood should absolutely offer to re-sign him or let him go into the draft. I’d rather a club we aren’t competing with have him than get bent...

Is he out of contract? I couldn’t work out why he wasn’t in the first set of delistings. Maybe they are waiting to secure Frampton first to ensure they’re not left without a back up backman

Neither Geelong or Collingwood are known for being unreasonable at the trading table. It's the same small number of clubs who shoot themselves in the foot and have no one want to deal with them every year. It gets done for Geelong's first round this year or next year. There might be some later...

Would the following work for the Cats as an alternative to the straight swap for pick 18 (which will slide to pick 19 or 20 probably): Pies give: Henry and pick 16 (which will more likely be pick 17 or 18) Geelong give pick 7 (which will likely be pick 8)

This is one of the longest circular threads I’ve come across. It’s pretty simply tbh. Yes, he will probably end up being of more value than the pick 18-20 which Pies are almost certain to get for him. However, he wasn’t playing regularly in the team so we can’t demand much more than that and...

Then you lose him for nothing next year.

When you have players approaching their mid 20s and aren’t even listed in your emergencies you don’t have much leverage. 45 is about right

He’s a free agent so doesn’t need to bother with all this carry on if that were the case. I’m sure St Kilda are offering him a contract more than what the Pies would be willing to match.

You guys did keep him as captain after he sexually assaulted a random woman on the street

De Goey is a free agent

Thilthorpe to Collingwood Grundy to North Horne Francis to Adelaide In my dreams
