[Heaps of fun]

Sam Skinner? Sorry mate I'm not trying to be painful, just never saw this and I rate the guy.

When did he come up? He has done 3 ACLs...

 

[Heaps of fun]

I think Geelong have said they won’t offer a contract for Lang so a late pick swap should suffice

Or get him in the PSD.

A big part of the reason for my surprise. Koshari said it was mentioned somewhere.

 

[Rooboy 96]

I think it's safe to assume that he wants $1.35 million a lot more than he wants out.

maybe, maybe not, some just want to get out of a toxic environment at any price.

 

[Brufen]

Just asked a reasonably well connected Geelong person on Lang: "good player, good pace, plenty of upside. Kicks it pretty well. Will never be an A grader, but a good second tier mid. Just needs to play"

I respect his opinion, so yeah, get him in.

It’s pretty apparent he’s value.
A touch on the vanilla side of the equation, but he’s never going to get a shot ahead of Selwood, Dangerfield or Duncan so he’s had limited exposure for long periods.

I’d be willing at 44 with a swap of future 3rds.

Our third pick will drop like 6 places.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

I

haha would you do that deal? absolutely 0 chance, we aren't giving pick 4 away and especially in a shit deal like that

To be honest we would consider next year points when our academy and fs picks are due.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I happy to have the club facilitate Andrew's wish, but if we are paying part of his salary I want a bit more than an uncontracted player in return

Why though? So we can "win" the trade or something? It's not like the club itself is paying the salary. If we get a player we like out of it then that's a good result, given Swallow is not going to provide any real on field benefit in 2018.

GC have plenty of 2nd round picks, one could argue they have too many.

They could have every pick in the second round and it wouldn't make Swallow worth one of them.

LOL! your post makes much more sense now!

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Don't think we should have to spend 3R on Lang unless there's a bidding war - he's out of contract.

4R or late pick swap.

North list assessment coming up on AFL tonight... should be interesting

Still using our old logo

 

[Luke72]

How about this for a three-way...
North send Goldy to GWS and 21 to *
GWS send Devon Smith to *
* send pick 11 our way

someone get the dice

Yeh probably will be King coming up to bag the club again.

has nothing to do with winning the trade (but that would be nice for a change) it has to do with improving our club, I think Andrew has been paid handsomely over his time at North, if we can facilitate a move for him that should be enough, we should not have to pay his salary or part of as well unless we get something in return that helps us, you do realise they already have 4 second round picks with more coming in, win win I say.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

We'd need to trade for Lang as Carlton would take him in the PSD before our pick I would think.

No dice for that one....something more appropriate

 

[Moti]

Hrovat would be nervous at this, similar players

We do get something in return that helps us though - we would get Lang, a player the club likes and could potentially be in our best 22. That would seem to me like it was improving the club?

I do realise they have four second round picks but again, that doesn't make Swallow worth one of them. Paying some of his contract is irrelevant to us as we need to meet the minimum cap and we're going to be paying it anyway if he stays... it's not a d*ck measuring contest over who pays what.

Or we can cut out scum and bag Devon Smith ourselves for Pick 21.

 

[Harris 10]

What would make me happy is if we didn't offer him contract either.

Shuffling deckchairs if we are getting players like Lang.

 

[Only Forwards]

Can Lang take a full time midfield rotation in the best 22?

 

[koshari]

A marley type deal i suspect.

I don't think we want him
