I said the same thing above, we should look to get Gold Coast's pick as they won't want that sucked up by Academy Bid.
When have Geelong had a significantly hard fixture?
Geelong plays their last game every year at alphabet Park
Geelong will be top 4 again with a mid table fixture.... again
2023 when they had their lowest finish ever? LOL
I'm not gonna go back through every single year but i'd assume that if they finished top 4 every year then they'd notably have a hard strength of schedule?
That's how the formula works?
Don't tell me you believe teams are getting compromised fixtures based on who they are and not due to the fact it's calculated and generated through technical programs?
You're sounding like the Tiggies cookers talking about the "CFL" and "rigged fixtures"
The League isn't conspiring against you dude

Your double ups have been easier than teams like the Saints who miss finals.
If you don't think teams like Collingwood, Essendon etc get better fixtures because of who they are that hat belongs to you
Our double ups were most of the top 4 this year. And yours were? Significantly easier of course.

Sounds like a good deal.
As for this thread, and every other trade thread.
No one knows WTF is going on with trades so all this angst is hilarious gibberish.
Dogs fans - You don't know what will be offered or what you'll accept. Stop acting like you do.
All we can go off is the media who is saying Geelong have offered their first this year and that is it.
And the dogs want 2 x first rounders.
Choose to believe what you want.
So effectively a second rounder in the 20s for a pick 7 entering his prime who will instantly be your best midfielder.
A second rounder like you got for the likes of Ratagolea

Weird take.
If you think they can predict an ACL from a medical, then you would have to say Geelong playing Menzel, Freo playing Morabito and Sydney playing Johnson after they did their first knee was negligent as they should have known it was going to happen again. Nonsense.
Until he is out there playing AFL over a sustained period it is an unknown. If he had done the knee the previous year and played out the season fine with the Dogs this year, it would be less of an issue, but he is being traded off the back of no footy and no amount of poking or prodding will confirm whether his knee will hold up long term. It has to be factored in.
This dude is going to be costing 2FR plus Dempsey plus Holmes by the time trade period starts.
Started at a first back in the early pages, hasn't played since but the price of the brick has gone up ha.....

Probably because you’ve gone deeper into the finals now. your first round pick being pushed further back which is why the price has gone up from earlier in the thread

Geelong will be focused on what the month of September is doing and trying to win 2 more finals.
They'll offer something 1. After the season ends and BS actually nominates us and 2. Once trade period starts.
The angst and the bravado that trade period brings out is pathetic. You don't know what will happen, or what has already happened. Chill and let things unfold.
You're naive if you think conversations aren't happening now.
The clubs will know who he has nominated. It's just not officially out in the public.
And given past perfance of your recruiting team pick 20 odd seems where you are starting. It's miles off.
A first and parfitt get it done. Smith hasn't played for a year and he's 2023 wasn't great

You're being a bit silly.
The point I am making is that you're all getting worked up over nothing.
You don't know what's going on, you don't know what will be offered, you don't know what will be accepted.
Moreover we haven't even reached trade period yet. Gnashing teeth over scuttlebutt about a pick in the 20s or jumping up and down about that being shit (plenty of good players have come in the 20s btw) and threats of PSD is something I find hilarious.
Chill. Give it time.
Things will unfold in time. List management teams in the AFL are mature and often arrive amicably at trade agreements.

Parfitt doesn't have any value, isn't he an unrestricted free agent? Regardless, he just wouldn't play in our midfield if we already don't have a spot for Macrae, Sanders etc so can't imagine we have any interest in him as steak knives.
Dogs haven’t even said they want two firsts. They’ve said they want a low first round pick. Who knows if Geelong’s first + f1 even satisfies them. We might ask Geelong to trade up for us.
Idk, those Adventure Park tickets sounded pretty enticing...
That evil bastard keeps ruining Trade Period with his ability to nab pick 94.

You could rest libba if you had parfitt. Not sure if he's ufa, if he is obviously no, maybe hardie. He'll win the liston
