Oliver is going to be meeting with Geelong. Disaster, what the **** are they going to offer is pick wise after the Bailey Smith deal? They aren't even going to be paying his whole contract if he goes there...
Who cares he's a dumb ginger campaigner who can **** off down to Geelong where he belongs. **** himOliver is going to be meeting with Geelong.

Again, that wouldn't go close. Oliver is basically a negative asset at this point.If Oliver does nominate Geelong, we should go hard for SDK. Take on his full contract, give us SDK and we'd be happy I'd imagine.
Kane 4 our GM of footy role.

SDK wasn't even getting a game for them. I get what you're saying, but no chance Dees trade him without getting something decent back. I know how much getting him off the books is important, but zero chance we get nothing back. SDK wasn't in their best 22. Would sure up our defence with a young kid. No reason why we couldn't push for that. How bad do Geelong value him? Let's find out.Again, that wouldn't go close. Oliver is basically a negative asset at this point.
Some significant overvaluing happening in here. They're not trading for 2021 Oliver, they're trading for an Oliver who has had significant injury and off-field issues, and hasn't been near his best form for two years. Not to mention the enormous contract.
There's zero chance we're getting 2 firsts for Oliver. That's why I suggested SDK. Maybe late first, but I think they've already committed their first for Bailey Smith.SDK was the first person I thought of too, but in a three-way trade. He goes to the Blues, we get the Blues' R1 and F1 draft picks (both likely to be late).

SDK was injured late in the season, and then they didn't want to disrupt a winning team. He's absolutely in their best 22.SDK wasn't even getting a game for them.

Not saying we get nothing back, I'm just asking for folks to temper their expectations. The main value in trading Oliver would be getting the contract (and distraction) off our books and rebalancing our midfield. If we get a semi-decent pick on top of that, great, but I wouldn't be expecting a big haul in a trade return.
Yeah people got rocks in their head if they think we getting SDK.SDK was injured late in the season, and then they didn't want to disrupt a winning team. He's absolutely in their best 22.

If Geelong are the chasers they will have to give up something. I don't see how they get both Oliver and Smith over the line with their current draft hand. If we're actually adamant that we want to keep Oliver then we're clearly not going to piss him off just to get him off our books when we're not under any cap pressure anyway.SDK was injured late in the season, and then they didn't want to disrupt a winning team.

Something, sure. But anything involving De Koning or Holmes plus a pick is pure fantasy.If Geelong are the chasers they will have to give up something.

I'm not suggesting that we get anything like that but I don't think we're letting Oliver go for a second rounder if we still think it's worth salvaging. The contracts shit but again without being under any cap pressure it seems absurd to piss him off to create cap space we have nothing to fill with. We'd just end up overpaying other guys instead.Something, sure. But anything involving De Koning or Holmes plus a pick is pure fantasy.
All depends on the contract. If they take it all, the value would be a token late pick. If we're contributing a significant amount, then obviously the price goes up.
Geelong would know this, hence the 'chasing' element. If we had a great culture and could get a player that theoretically helped our main area of deficiency for pennies on the dollar, I'd hope we explored the option too.
Get what you're saying re current cap space/pressure, but it's not like he's only on $1 million per in 2025. He'll also be around that figure in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. Keeping him would require an enormous amount of faith that he returns to near the player he was, because that sort of money could see us struggle to bring in future targets or impact our ability to retain some of our own talent if they break out.I'm not suggesting that we get anything like that but I don't think we're letting Oliver go for a second rounder if we still think it's worth salvaging.

No chance you trade him for a pick over 30. Who cares about his shit contract if we can't pay anyone to come here.Yeah people got rocks in their head if they think we getting SDK.
We'd be lucky to get a pick under 30 for him
