is the only guy we will get this offseason.

It's what Warner does outside of clearance work that makes him special.

Edit: Warner has 78 goals in 85 games, Brayshaw and Serong have combined for 80 goals in 249 games. That's why you go out and get Warner.

Exactly. Warner helps capitalise on our clearance dominance directly from midfield. It's a missing part of the puzzle.

Granted not as much of a missing part as a dynamic small forward but it seems like Kozzie is more of a pipe dream at this stage.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Warner is going to make this a very boring trade period it seems haha.

In fact, a significant number of potential moves seem to be dropping like flies. Much quieter trade period all around than expected

Seriously though I refuse to believe that Shai Bolton is the only guy we will get this offseason.

I really don’t mind if it is. We’ve clearly had a few things in the work re Baker and Martin that fell through + all the work into Warner means it was shaping up to be a busy trade period but ended up being a lot quieter than expected. I’m happy to take a top 10 pick to the draft.

Will say though this Warner stuff is starting to annoy me. We shouldn’t be prioritising him above all else if he hasn’t even requested a trade this ye a r

 

[eastfreo75]

If NOD can do a Treacy next year it will have saved us two massive trades with the Swans two years in a row.

Warner will cost millions and draft assets.

I really don't like this argument. Yes Warner kicks goals but Pickett kicks more because he is a small forward, a position that is our biggest list hole. We don't need more goals from the midfield, we need more from our small forwards.

Don’t mind it.
Picks picks and more picks.
Baker saved us overpaying massively.

 

[guidodp15]

Should be happy but you just know Geelong are going to make it work.

If we don't get pickett this is a big L. Can't Have Walters,Delean and Emmett as our smalls next year.

Pickett must be in play otherwise we would've signed Emmett already

You don't think Bolton will play in the forward line?

 

[s_wd6]

He’s Walters replacement

we need more that just Bolton obviously

 

[THE_GUN]

Cal twomey just ruled out Pickett getting traded again

Until Bolton gets traded and sends Pickett a picture with a freo jumper on and 1 in his hand saying "This is yours Bruh"

Well good thing they won't be our smalls when we have Bolton, Freddy, Switta. I expect more forward time from Serong (switching with Bolton). Simpson should improve. Walters can still fill in from time to time. We'll probably draft someone like Berry or Hannaford, who will be immediately ahead of Delean.

Hard to get Pickett if Melbourne refuse to trade him.

Or maybe Owies. . I hate the thought of trading with Carlton.

Nothing to suggest we have any interest in him

And that is why I'm worried about Wallsy being in charge of the list profile. Threw everything at Logan to get him over and then did the same for Baker.

Don’t think they threw everything at baker. Everyone knew he wasn’t coming. He’s probably being smart by saying we will give them pick 10… make WCE pay more

Did the same with Kelly back in the day

And a ship load of cap space.

Brayshaw and Serong met with him multiple times. Freo wouldn't have offered the $$ if they weren't interested. No Freo offer means Baker nominates from day one.

It hasn't worked for Geelong more times than these sorts of roll of the dice have.

 

[Farmerwantsawife]

No we don't "all know it". In fact I think it's a somewhat bizarre take. He was a valued member of an elite performing midfield. We actually need more options, not less.

This bizarre take is still thinking he has anything left to give this team.

Was long gone last year.

Never said Freo weren’t interested? Said the knew they wouldn’t get him

How's about something as tangible as Warner comes out of contract at the end of next year, while Pickett's got about 3 more years to go on a pretty freshly signed deal.
