Very happy to let Houston go through to the keeper if he is 800k plus in 2025

Joke that the AFL could sign off on that. Gross miss-managment.Still can't believe they gave away pick 7 and Bowes for literally nothing
Feel like we could get one with a F1 but other clubs would have better offers for the other imoIs it possible for us to trade for the suns pick 12 and lions pick 18 and go to the draft with pick 11,12 and 18?
Really address some needs!
Thanks for the info mate - I still don't really understand this stance from the club. If we aren't going to be targeting a mature KPD this post-season our depth in that area is going to be really poor if we let Young go
I think the smaller defence (i.e., Weitering with two of McGovern/Haynes/Kemp) only works if the midfield buys into the defensive side of the game and can get delay on the ball. We were able to do that really well in 2023 but not so much in 2024. I think Cerra is key to this so hopefully him getting a better run at it helps with defending stoppage. But agree overall we shouldn't be trading Young unless we can bring in another proper mature KPD in to replace him - Durdin is not reliable.We surely can't be purely relying on 191-193cm interceptors to play on resting ruckman, and the Daniher types.
I know we want to cut our losses with Young as a long term option, but he's still got to be a better depth option than Sam Durdin.
I think we want to lose Young's salary more than anything, and then open up a list spot as a secondary benefit.
If we have a state league player in mind, we probably want to take them in the draft, rather than chance them getting through to us as a rookie, thus Young going over Durdin.
At least I hope that's our thinking.
This year might be the last good draft opportunity(talent depth) we have access to with Tassie entering the comp. and securing Cody(without the current concessions) plus our salary cap imbalance(too many chiefs and not enough indians)This period, should be skewed heavily towards the draft. My opinion it is the best crop between 10 & 40 in years. A few moneyball picks -konstanty, Mcmahon? but play the % and take 5 (3+campos) in this draft. Leave expensive trades for another year.
I'm hoping to finish higher than 17th personallyWe may have no choice, and have to forget about Dan Houston, if the sum mention are fact with our limitations on salary cap space we’re out of the race.
Things is our window is probably 2 to 3 years, and then it’s rebuild all over again. We’re stuck, hopefully Austin can spin some magic or be creative.
Haynes and few youngsters in the draft ain’t going to move the needle exponentially in our quest for 17th.

It’s been almost 30 years since our last flag , so yah one gets a little foggy, it’s all about a premierships after all, one would have thought.I'm hoping to finish higher than 17th personally
Would depend on whether we can convince a club to part with a draft pick for magic beans.Is it possible for us to trade for the suns pick 12 and lions pick 18 and go to the draft with pick 11,12 and 18?

Except that they used the pick on Clarke who has struggled so far and also have Bowes on their books for another couple of years and he's pretty average.Joke that the AFL could sign off on that. Gross miss-managment.
Geelong basically won the lottery with that one.
No current season stats available
Weitering, Saad and Cerra would be set for extensions as well you'd thinkTDK is our only big name to sign next year

I just can't see us letting Young go unless we have a ready made type locked away, which is difficult to determine unless it's a DFA
This. Or its got the feel of JSOS playing down back.
