[HirdsTheWord]

In what world is Greene, the Captain, on the market?

i said possibly!

 

[Corleone]

Toby Greene, Nick Haynes and Lachy Whitfield are possibly on the market

if we aren't into at least Haynes i'm going to flip a lid!

Get Toby and Mathieson ...

Appoint Hird ...

Lean into the AFL's Supervillian narrative ...

Is this in regards to Tom Browne's groundbreaking report that at least one club has asked the question on Greene but it's extremely unlikely anything will get done?

 

[ghostdog]

i said possibly!

I don't think that's going to happen.
Edit: We should start leveraging for Tom Green next year though, if we haven't already.

 

[HirdyLannister]

The Barometer and Setters I would take on, we are shambles but at least we can gain some midfield depth.

 

[doug85]

There was a report from Tom Browne that Greene wasn’t happy with Taranto and Hopper leaving. He also stressed he won’t be traded, can put a pin in that one.

 

[nipst@r]

After missing out on bowes. We should be super into Haynes and a top 20 pick from gws. Similiar contract to bowes and gws have 4 top twenty picks. Might have to give something back f3 or even 22 depending on which pick. but with hopper still to be done I think gws would rather get out of his contract then potentially 1 more top twenty pick. 4 already plus whatever they get for hopper.

From a gws perspective worth getting rid of hopper and Haynes for the cap space. Although means we would be less of a chance to pry time Greene next year.

 

[doug85]

Greene turns 30 next year, so probably a little out of the age bracket we should be targeting.

 

[naraku]

I wonder if we can knock on Hopper's door soon if Tigers don't stump up an offer ?

Do you want to offer pick 4?

 

[eth-dog]

Do you want to offer pick 4?

You can conceivably ask for 12 back along with Hopper.

 

[Milanista28]

You can conceivably ask for 12 back along with Hopper.

I still wouldn't do it, Hopper is a kick chaser like Parish, Merrett and Shiel, he's just bigger.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Knock knock

Jacob: "Who's there?"

Dodoro: "Delivery!!"

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

In this bold new age of trading, I wonder if we could call Hawthorn, North or Brisbane about trading us a first rounder in exchange for another scandal to keep them out of the news for another week or month?

Why trade a pick when they know we will cough up a scandal for free.

Sssssh!!!!

Geelong would only pip us anyway somehow.
like finding the cure for covid or the like.

**** them! We should step in and stop the cure!

 

[doug85]

Any news yet on the Frangdawgs compo?

 

[faible]

With these salary dumps for draft capital you should have to take the original contract on your books for the length of the deal. Geelong getting away Scott free by smoothing it out to 450-500 a year.

I would think if the AFL want to tighten up on a club like Geelong taking advantage of it, then this. Must take on the original terms of the outgoing deal ie. 2 x $850k.

Smoothing out the deal makes it possible for a club that shouldn't be able to take advantage of a salary dump trade, to take advantage of it, whilst the whole point was supposed to be that poor performing clubs struggling to meet the cap floor would be able to do so.

 

[naraku]

Do you want to offer pick 4?

Yup.

Have GWS send back 12 and Haynes as salary dump too. We might have includ F2 , not sure.

 

[DapperDon]

Media must be spewin they can't blame Essendon for holding up trade week this year.

I agree, the Cats reward for taking on the horrible contract is pick 7, they are no longer taking on a horrible contract.

 

[Milanista28]

Hmm Fair enough, It's not a bad deal, I just don't see Hopper as the guy we need, I rather a big body who is defense 1st like Dunks, Hopper wants to attack like Parish and Shiel.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Exactly. It should only be available to teams that can afford it. Thus creating some level of equalisation and benefit to the bottom teams given free agency has worked out completely opposite to what they were planning.

I think the solution is obvious.

At the end of each year the bottom four get a whole bunch of blue shells, stars, and bullet-o-bill transmogs and the remaining teams get one banana peel each
