Since our cap is apparently in pretty good shape I'd be more than comfortable with effectively buying picks. Keep in mind Geelong got pick 7 off Gold Coast by taking on about that much.If Geelong could muster up another late first I'd be comfortable with us paying a significant amount, but don't think Geelong will do that. Personally I'd just let him go for the 2025 F1 and pay 20-30% of the wage, but don't think we will do that.

I think if we are to pay 20%-30% of his wage and Geelong give us a F1 it might get done. But I’m thinking that’s not what the cats have offered.
I wouldn’t think the members would ever get the true details of a deal. If it actually happened both Geelong and Melbourne would say “We got a deal that we felt was favourable”.Sounds like ball was in our court and we shut it down and called the bluff of Geelong/Oliver camp.
Now it’s basically over them to find a way to put up a deal that MFC can actually sell to its members.
If we're interested in Owies still what do you guys think is a fair price? Pick 48? Pick 53?
Actually if we keep 53 is there a McDonald in this years draft?
Well yeah.. but mid season? (As in asking for a trade at the end of the season during the mid season)Manager got approached by another club. Manager asks player if they are interested. Player says yes. Manager goes to club to see if they'll budge.
All seems pretty standard tbh.
I think you'd be massively naive to think it doesn't happen all the time. Alot of deals are done far in advanceWell yeah.. but mid season? (As in asking for a trade at the end of the season during the mid season)
These deals can take a long time to work out especially when there's big money involved. You have to open up the cap space, organise your picks etc. Just look at Jackson, we knew Freo has been chasing him for a while.Well yeah.. but mid season?

Yeah when players want to leave they don't just start thinking about it during the trade period, it's done months in advance.These deals can take a long time to work out especially when there's big money involved. You have to open up the cap space, organise your picks etc. Just look at Jackson, we knew Freo has been chasing him for a while.
ANB wanting to go home came out weeks before the end of the season, Bailey smith has been known to be going to Geelong for like a year
Fair enough. Just never heard of a manager asking for a trade mid season to the club.These deals can take a long time to work out especially when there's big money involved. You have to open up the cap space, organise your picks etc. Just look at Jackson, we knew Freo has been chasing him for a while.
With a contracted player they'd have to. I expect it was a similar situation with Houston at Port. Port just handled it way better than us and said 'two firsts or he stays'Fair enough. Just never heard of a manager asking for a trade mid season to the club.
100% they are. Every team would be looking at their depth at different positions in case of injury or to match their system better.I think you'd be massively naive to think it doesn't happen all the time. Alot of deals are done far in advance
Exactly and they could do that as we had already agreed to the 2 picks and he was happy coming here (at the time).With a contracted player they'd have to. I expect it was a similar situation with Houston at Port. Port just handled it way better than us and said 'two firsts or he stays'
Matthew co-ck's whoever that is **** you bigfooty you can't even write the campaigners nameI've relented and turned on trade radio. Whoever cohosts the show with Cooney should commentate. Golden voice.
No but my house won't drop it's bottom lip for 6 years and ruin my life.How did we change our mind? We shopped him around the the offer was shit. It’s not that uncommon…
Just because we put something on sale means we have to take SFA for it.
Think of it as real estate, you put your house on sale are you going to sell it if some flog offers you half of what you want?
