List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

[BrutThough]

Why does Tom Morris continue to insist we're offering literally everyone stupid contacts?

Because we probably are. But also because he is pissed off both Ross and Marshall shut down his Marshall trade story within a week.

I just really hope Clarry and Smithy can finish their careers uninjured and successful all the while upholding Geelongs exemplary cultural standing and become the farmers they strive to be.

Might be the first poppy farm in the Geelong region

 

[Saintos The ITK]

How sad is it that west coast had to pay an absolute fortune for Kelly which has probably set them back 7 years and will probably end up giving him away to freo for a bag of smiths crisps.
I wish them all the best and hope Tim flourishes at freo.

I’ve ordered so many pizzas online with them using bogus email addresses.

Seriously, so many businesses suck off the email gravy train that I now have a separate email address that I rarely check now for such registrations.

No the idea that just because a player has one parent born in another country and needs 'extra support' to get into the afl imo is the soft bigorty of low expectation, ie Cam Mckenzie.. It is wrong imo.

I have to agree it's a bit of a broad sweep to say everyone with any indigenous blood or overseas background needs assistance getting into footy. Mitch and Marcus two great examples.

I reckon for both situations, academy admission should hinge on how much junior footy they have previously played, otherwise it's a bit of a joke.

I'm actually getting a bit sick of Geelong and resenting the players that request a trade there. What happened to the old school mentality of sticking it out with your club until they reach success.

Now every player just requests a trade to a more successful club and fulfils the cycle of good teams getting better. The part that makes it worse is that they are taking paycuts (if Geelong propaganda is to be believed and it's not just additional sponsorship money or gifted farmland).

I sincerely hope with these trades they have flown too close to the sun and have an almighty blow up fueled by cocaine and pokies and they're aging stars retire leaving them like Richmond are now.

OH and aparently they are lobbying to play 10 games at Pork Barrell park not 9 next year, seriously get out.

How dare they want to play their home games at their home ground, the sheer nerve of them.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

While we’re there. The compo pick for free agency compensates the club that lost the player but disadvantages the clubs behind them in favour of the two clubs that did the deal.
How is that fair?
How do they come up with this shit??

 

[HeavenlySources]

How dare they want to play their home games at their home ground, the sheer nerve of them.

Let them play at marvel with the rest us plebs only 50 mins on the Vline. To be fair that 10th game being our home game at Marvel could have been the difference between us losing by a goal vs winning by 18. Nothing to scoff at.

 

[Mstr Strokesman]

With us throwing money at Aleer and being turned down again, just wondering how many that would make now?

Aleer, Merrett, LDU?, I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting.

Yeah it does. I thought it blocked all mail except for who it was set up for.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

I’m sure most would have seen it, but Maxy King looking larger and jacked in the video the club put out today.

Thats a pretty big in if we can get a stronger more powerful King back in the team.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Half expecting all these crap emails off here now.

 

[akaifu]

I like Garcia. Would be very happy to grab him.

We already have the better version. No need to waste a pick on him, take it to the draft

Looked like a beast.

Real man vibes.

Might’ve been his moustache.

Thought the same thing.
He’s massif

 

[SaintsSeptember]

If anyone is dumb enough to provide Melbourne with First rounders then the Dees I would imagine can’t accept that offer quick enough - even if they contribute cap for the next 6 years.

Cant help thinking its like a swinging pendulum, right now long contracts are all the go, it'll only take a few clubs to be paying gazillions for years, before it swings back the other way.

Just hope Saints are a team who keep it real. ( More likely the opposite in our history though).

Where is it reported we were turned down? Thought it was for after next year.

And why do you just sense that everything will be all rosy down at Geelong and they win another 1 or 2 in the next 5 years.

Because they aren't being gutless and are trying to achieve actual success (flags).

Meanwhile we are happy to take pretend risks- like trying annually to land a big fish rfa gun midfielder... which will never happen.
And when we strike out on taking those pretend risks- we go back in our shell and set our sights on success being 'not being bottom 4 for a while and playing finals occasionally'.

Give me geelongs 'go big or go home' approach anyday- especially when we have such a split in our list.
Almost all our elite talent is either about to hit 30, or a full decade younger.

We need to pick which group is going to be leading our charge to our 2nd flag.
If it's the older guys- we should be throwing first rounders at LDU and/or brayshaw this year.

If it's the kids- we need to be looking at shipping off one of the likes of steele/marshall/sinclair if it gained us a top 10 pick.

We need to stop trying to be half pregnant- it's not going to get us actual success, in the short or longer term.

 

[stfan]

I honestly think the most likely reason he wasn't invited to the best and fairest is because the club knew he was going to finish on the podium a

Maybe, just maybe they were deliberately generous with the votes to Battle......


Though yes he had a good season no doubt.

 

[Rogue Warrior]

I genuinely have no idea how Geelong could get the deal done.
I struggle to comprehend how Geelong could afford to pay even 3/4 of his annual salary.
And would be curious if Melbourne trades him for no picks just to get the salary and behaviour away from them?
I despise Geelong more than most and hope it ends as a train wreck for them.
I’d be filthy if they somehow weaselled their way into getting a strong pick from melb included in the deal.

In the initial article. He considered it this year and said no but it’s still a live one for 12 months time

I reckon the AFL will give us the hardest fixture next year

No doubt we will get screwed but it’s impossible to get the hardest fixture with the top 6, middle 6, bottom 6 double up fixture system.
