[PeterSalt]

Soz .. sound up .. I laughed

 

[Runnin Blue]

Isn’t it the old 700-750 with the cap going up 30%

Don’t care. Still ridiculous and makes me lmao.

 

[Redline]

Has anyone heard anything about the futures of Hamish & Reid?

I haven't but I have a feeling at least one will be gone once the trade/draft is over. I have heard both Rowe and Bickley mention further off field changes will occur and that was after the conditioning staff changes.

So not based on anything, just gut feel.

 

[FR0GGY]

Don’t care. Still ridiculous and makes me lmao.

So we believing reports now?

 

[Runnin Blue]

So we believing reports now?

What do you mean, frog?

I said if it’s true, it’s funny.

I don’t think you’re gotcha is a gotcha.

I’m open to others, though.

Not a gotcha.
But it’s funny you saying the reports yesterday wasn’t true and people shouldn’t believe in it, yet you’ll entertain this one as a possibility though.
Why not the same skepticism?

What is hard to understand? I said if it is true it is funny. Not making a determination either way.

On the other thing, it is logical to not believe the propaganda and b******t spewed by the corporate media, right? I mean, it would be unintelligent to do otherwise, no?

Not determining either way, but did yesterday?
Haven’t both reports come from the media?
I’m failing to see the difference other than one is a negative crows report and one is a negative port report.
I don’t watch or read the news.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I dont watch or read the news.

Good start.

 

[spenze]

Just renovated their house to put on the market too

The club obviously has a ginger quota, which must be why he is being moved on

 

[jackster83]

solid back-up.

The Power will secure Gold Coast’s Jack Lukosius on a deal rival contender Adelaide believes is seven years at $1 million a season.

This is what Jon ralph is reporting.

I guess he's not a salary cap trade anymore

At that price, Gold Coast should be the ones coughing up a first round pick. Port getting robbed.

 

[GreyCrow]

Parfitt seems to have had a big fall from grace between February this year and now:

https://nit.com.au/07-02-2024/9660/geelong-teammate-tips-parfitt-to-explode-in-2024
"7 Feb 2024 — Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield is predicting a big season from fellow midfielder Brandan Parfitt in 2024"
"Brandan Parfitt has had a fantastic pre-season, he looks really good running on top of the ground," Dangerfield told the Geelong Advertiser.

"His inside work, I feel like he is ready to really explode."

Was he at the nightclub with Stengle

Port are robbing themselves - Now we know why they started the narrative Adelaide offered more.

7 years at $1m per season for a player that kicked 23 goals this year and was dropped

Add Rozee and JHF long term deals, plus Ratugolea on $800k for next for years - no wonder they have no depth.

It will be interesting to see how they retain Butters in two years.

[Shifty Crow]

Thank god they didn't send Nicks

Nicks met Cumming when we played in Sydney, and again last week - that worked

Nicks is actually highly regarded in the industry for his ability to develop relationships with players - that’s why our retention rate of players has improved under Nicks and why so many young players have signed long term contracts.

Do you believe that report is accurate and how about the one we offered more?

 

[crow2crow]

Do you believe that report is accurate and how about the one we offered more?

we offered 5 years only by the latest reports.

 

[FR0GGY]

we offered 5 years only by the latest reports.

We’ve seen how accurate reports have been lately.

 

[Cromulant]

We’ve seen how accurate reports have been lately.

Ch7 ones anyway

 

[crow2crow]

Was he at the nightclub with Stengle

maybe but gee hes a cheap pressure forward having been delisted. his pressure forward stats are really good. not sure he can make it as a mid now if he hasnt so far

melb media get confused betweeen port and crows all the time

it was probably port that offered 7 years all along not us. we are very responsible and conservative.

 

[GreyCrow]

I know its conservative to say '' this guy must have red flags '' but Parfitt is 26 and Geelong are letting him go?

If we do entertain the idea - which list spots make it difficult - then I hope we do our due diligence

People are rightly concerned over Oliver yet arent asking the same questions of Parfitt?

We offered 10 years to Gulden, that’s not conservative

There’s no place on this thread for you and your fancy facts.

Oliver comes with massive cash concerns should he go wrong.
