Honk

Ashamedly despite even being a huge fan of Cobra Kai as well, I totally forgot this funny reference.

If you want to know why Geelong aren't giving up Ratugolea easily, just look at Geelong's key position depth younger than 30 years old

They're still performing well and they'll just keep bringing in handy 30 years olds to replace them. It's hard to believe how Geelong can extract so much out of old players.

Interesting .....zero talk of any MELB offer for McAdam .....absolute crickets

Because they legit don't have anything to offer

Fair enough

But I also think it’s comical that they played hard ball on Henry with pies and plenty of others during their glory years and now want more than pick 24 for a guy out of contract that didn’t even make their best 22 for alot of the year


The competition owes them no favours

Youre being Petty.

Which IMO .....keeps the Petty possibilities open

Just saw the Roos are picking Toby Pink (Glenelg) after he was named FB in the SANFL team of the year.

25 years old, 194cm, 95kg. Might be a handy depth KPD pick up for them. I wonder if we had any interest as well

We did, it's in the other rumours thread.

yep and remember the Danger trade where clearly as one of the truly elite players in the comp (won Brownlow first year at Cats) they could 'only offer' ONE first rounder as they had already spent their other available one on Blues Henderson.

Bunch of pricks as he is a middling player who couldnt consistently make a team that finished 12th

Very true, however the talent guys should have a pretty good idea. Harley Reid and Jed Walter were rated top 2 for this draft a long way out. If Welsh is actually rated top 5 by clubs at this stage then it is a very high chance that our pick next year, which could easily be high teens, will be worthless to us.

I guess Harry Lemmey says hi?

Would love to see Port call their bluff and manufacture a way to get him in the draft

Melbourne poster just said that the club is about to release a statement over Oliver, sounds quite serious

 

[1990crow]

Melbourne board saying their club about to put out a statement about Oliver.
What the hell..

 

[ams4crows]

Damn so the Oliver hospital thing is true??

I hope he's ok but talk about biting the hand that feeds you

I do wonder where Melbourne goes to if it's true.
You'd think it's last straw.

Twitter posts currently saying its much, much worse than that. Shit, I hope not.

They just emphatically backed him in a week ago and said they would support him through whatever he's going through.

Can't turn around and trade him now

 

[Scorpus]

Maybe telling a player to get ****ed and lying about trading them to get a response is not great for a player's mental health

Then why haven't they stumped up for a Jakovich like contract

 

[BACCS]

 

[BACCS]

What does Goody promise these guys? Interesting that he won’t commit beyond his current contract though, I’m guessing he wants to try move back next year or at the end of his contract

 

[1990crow]

Really hope not.

Would love to see Port call their bluff and manufacture a way to get him in the draft

or even better call their bluff, threaten PSD and Horks get him for FREE by jumping in

Horks win.
Power lose
Cats lose

Whats not to like?
