Yeah don't want Gillies but could live with 36 and someone else more suitable.
None of their borderline players will be any use to us. Any of the ones with potential Geelong wouldn't be willing to trade I.e Horlin-Smith

Dont worry about Hard to Beat or Teffy or whoever the **** he is? Think it might be his time of the month, which explains the mood swingsThats pretty good then, imo with FA if you can really front load there contract your laughing thats all I didn't mean to push any buttons with the load a player comment either
You would think he has just slipped down the pecking order with Caddy coming on board. Someone should be reminding him all about itYeah true. I guess H-S is the only one I'd seriously be interested in. Not sure of his contract status but wouldn't mind thinking we're in his ear with a view to being part of the trade. If you get one of their players on side its amazing what can happen. Really if you want to stop the "victim perception" this is what you have to do.
Front loading contracts would be a good idea for us right now, but with no full time CEO, I am not sure if we have anyone proactive enough to set this up.
Given we don't need cap relief and he is contracted, I refuse to believe that we'll agree to a shit trade just to help Hamish fulfill his wishes. I'd be absolutely furious if that were to happen.
I'd ask for a good player in return, take it or leave it, assuming that a first rounder won't be available.
You forgot...What the **** would we want Stephenson for?
What the **** would we want pick 55 for?
What the **** would we want pick 36 for?
What the **** would we want Gillies for?
What the **** would we want Simpkin for?
Why the **** would we want care about what suits Geelong?
Why don't you just put on a cheer leader outfit and be done with it?

To be honest, why did you want him? With the exodus in terms of Scarlett and the emergence of what I think will be top midfielders what was the big need for Caddy?You forgot...

Mark, the same would apply to North, as they have a young emerging midfield, the difference being we lost Ling and Kelly,Corey, and Bartel all in the latter part of their careers.To be honest, why did you want him?

But you haven't lost Kelly, Corey or Bartel. And I think the first and the third will be around for some time. Maybe it's my immaturity, but I reckon it was payback for Ablett. You were well compensated, I'm aware of that, but I think that really stung Geelong, when he went.Mark, the same would apply to North, as they have a young emerging midfield, the difference being we lost Ling and Kelly,Corey, and Bartel all in the latter part of their careers.
Can never have enough good midfielders as you would know.
Perhaps we are looking to the future!!!!But you haven't lost Kelly, Corey or Bartel. And I think the first and the third will be around for some time.

Geez I hope not. The last thing we need is another dominant Geelong period.Perhaps we are looking to the future!!!!

Perhaps North is lightening the load and front loading required player contracts so we launch a massive free agency raid next year.
You do realise he was playing for North Ballarat with plenty of our own players aligned to the Roosters, our coaching staff knew him quite well, and we didn't try and recruit him?Stephenson is an ideal back-up when every North supporter is saying they'd need back-up for Goldy if HMac goes.
But Stephenson is considered the best ruckman in the VFL and he wouldn't cost you $500k!You do realise he was playing for North Ballarat with plenty of our own players aligned to the Roosters, our coaching staff knew him quite well, and we didn't try and recruit him?
Not any more he isn't. You were a bit late to that party. We wanted to recruit the Big O 5 year ago.But Stephenson is considered the best ruckman in the VFL and he wouldn't cost you $500k!
Maybe if you can get rid of McIntosh's contract, shift a bunch of players in to front loading next year your could go after somebody of real quality next year who can play a big role from 2014-2016 (a much bigger role than McIntosh will play since you've got Goldy as well) when you should be in your premiership window. Maybe losing McIntosh a year early means you can make a play for someone of quality who is coming out of contract. Are any of Thomas, Roughead, Griffen, J Kennedy (WCE), Lewis, etc coming out of contract next year?
How are Geelong being grubby??Doesn't look like we are going after any free agents this year so what does McIntosh's contract have to do with anything? After 2013 he is uncontracted, so it will free up the space if we want to land someone next year anyway.
I don't think salary cap relief is a player here at all.
It's quite simple McIntosh wants to be number #1 banana and can do that at Geelong because your rucks are average. Geelong know this and thats why they have been trying to lure him. At the moment they are just being grubby and trying to get him for bargain basement. It's actually a pretty shit act to try and lure a CONTRACTED player and get him to want to move to your club and then only trade if you can get him on the cheap. If they had no intention of paying a fair price they should have never started the process
How are Geelong being grubby??
He is not worth a first rd pick, our 2nd rd pick is not good enough, we are trying to upgrade this in order to do the trade.Ignore what's being said on these forums.
Don't assume we are trying to rob you, Geelong are known to be fair traders,at this stage we don't have what you need!!
if you are going to play him in the Vfl he is worth accordingly!! cant have it both ways.If you want him to be your #1 ruckman, you pay accordingly.
