That's assuming he's any good. You don't want to repeat the Connor Blakely situation where a guy is earning $500,000pa and no where near your best 22.

Geelong showing again today playing for unders is noble and required to deliver a flag
***** you Logue and Lobb, you’re both mercenaries and won’t be remembered after you leave the game
Also - key forwards… enough said

What the media report someone as being worth is usually pretty close to the mark though. It's all about PR, no one wants to lose the chess match.
We were never giving up 6 and 8 for Neale.
With Langdon, Neale, Cerra, etc we've hit trade week with a rough idea of what the trade will be and it's usually close. There's not many Lachie Weller surprises.
There may be some journalists who get trade prices correct close to the deal being made (usually because they have contacts) but Whately was literally spitballing when he said that much like he was this week with Dunkley and was completely wrong.
"The media" is literally hundreds or thousands of people, no way you can cherry pick something one of them said and make a trend from that, especially when its been shown he's been wrong literally in the last week.

The mistake wasn't leaving McDonald out; it was not naming him sub.McDonald to Horse at exit interview.
Good decision on Reid dick head
That way you get Reid's first half possessions and McDonald could start playing at half time like he had through the finals.
Ladhams.....whether they like it or not.
Yeah, I gotta agree with you. The looks of the Geelong players today, I'm sure, were more gleeful than when they signed their contracts. Might be the same look Griff has when he signs his.
In many ways it’s incumbent on us to find these types of people. Brayshaw, Serong, Young and Darcy all seem like they will end up being people who will take less than market value to help build sustained success. Most people lack the long term vision required to see this as an investment – in the club, their teammates and their own long term success.
It goes without saying that nobody like this (causality could go both ways) could be managed by Colin Young.
Geelong playing for unders is one of the biggest myths going round. It's probably the biggest gravy train going round. They get enormous benefits off the field from being royalty in the only team in a large region where football is king. And it would continue well into retirement with the perks they would get. People will laud Hawkins for playing next year on 300k, but he probably bought his massive farm/house for a huge discount, and will continue to receive a truckload of money after he retires.

Yeah I think so. They’re only one of the youngest sides in the comp and just made a grand final. Why not a fire sale.
I reckon they’ll gladly trade us two of their most valuable players for peanuts. I’m sure they would both gladly uproot their lives in NSW to move here also.

And yet we will be overpaying for Jackson.
I still think that
Alcock needs to build all our boys houses with all the bells and whistles wink, wink
Heeny would be awesome for the 2 games a year he gets somewhere near the hype.

Don’t think we can take one GF and use it to make any sort of list needs.
Swans simply didn’t turn up today.
That said. Clearly shows the need for contested ball. Brayshaw and Serong will continue t be massive moving forwards.

Honestly thought Cameron was almost invisible until the last quarter. Hawkins went pretty good though.
For me the game was won by midfield dominance. Not sure any of their mids bar perhaps Dangerfield would be on crazy money.
And Brodie.
Unfortunately you can’t get all of the pieces through the draft, free agency and bargain trades. If we’re measuring success by premierships won, then it took until today for Geelong’s trade for Dangerfield to pay off – both in terms of what it cost to get him and what it has cost to pay him. Same goes for Cameron.
The advantage the Vic's club. The shear number of players heading to the state
