Brisbane targeting a huge name key forward at end of 2015

[MightyDons4]

Didn't go to Hawthorn because he is going to Brisbane in 2016

You should start doing stand-up comedy!

I wouldn't be so certain mate. Big big carrot in front of Carlisle's nose right now and as has been proven time and time again money talks.

 

[nottenthagain]

Cameron, Carlisle or Tippett. Can't see Hawkins going

Is it bad as a Sydney fan that I'm a bit half half on Tippett going...? Would help our salary cap and mean Reid could become a permanent CHF with Franklin moving back to FF.

 

[Mego Red]

I guess the talk of getting Walker was a bit premature.

 

[iBeng]

It was a ruse actually, we plan on poaching Pods for 1.5mill a season for 5 years.

Muahahaha.

 

[Demon 16]

Sam Day perhaps?

I can confirm that Carlisle is seriously considering the Lions. My sources haven't let me down. Let's just say he is more likely to come to the Lions than sign an extension but not OTL yet.

I am hearing all the same noises as well. Would not be surprised at all at this stage.

 

[iBeng]

Im pretty sure I read on Facebook that Carlisle is checking out houses in South-East Brisbane.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Yeah just like he was going to Hawthorn this year, keep dreaming.

he is.

 

[TW Sherrin]

tippett is the one you will get. will be pushed out by sydney when his contract is done.

 

[Milux]

Yeah just like he was going to Hawthorn this year, keep dreaming.

We should start dreaming the same dreams that helped us land beams.

Sam Day perhaps?

Sam Day isn't a huge name in the figurative, or literal sense.

 

[Demon 16]

Sam Day isn't a huge name in the figurative, or literal sense.

Agreed on both counts.

Would still be a good get I reckon - and may be an achievable outcome.

Will likely be a forward who needs support though, so the draft may be the other avenue.

 

[ManOfClay]

Carlisle is a Dogs supporter. He'll be coming to the Dogs.

In fact he was in the rooms after one of our rare wins this year with tears of pride in his eye and he muttered to Peter Gordon "Just get me here".

Hawkins will get pay rise from us taking him to the highest level at GFC along with Sel and HT.

Is it enough to keep FA offers at bay, who really knows. I"m sure however that the GFC have seen this coming and have a large, but reasonable offer ready for him and his agent.

Yet the Crows aren't in the same position with Danger..........

 

[Demon 16]

I might be wrong here, but I think Hawkins comes from a reasonably wealthy family.

Money might not be as attractive to him as some others.

Given you had money for Frawley, I'd imagine there is spare capacity at the Cats.

We'll have capacity next year too, after years of 95% payment we can go to 105% in 2015.

No actually but im not even gonna bother. Have a great day…

Yup..and lose Enright, Kelly and perhaps Lonergan, Rivers and Hmac. Also lost Varcoe and Bundy and only replaced them with Clark and Stanley.
Also have Bartel, SJ, getting close.

But of course if you're a Crows supporter, we have no WAY we can possibly keep Hawk and sign Danger too….

I'm sure you'll offer them more than enough money, but then the money will always be there for Dangerfield (both during and after football). The thing I can see counting against you guys when the bidding for him starts is the age and talent profile of your list heading into 2016. As great as you have been in recent times, Geelong aren't immune to the cyclical nature of success in the AFL - and given the replacements you have coming through aren't on the same level of those outgoing veterans that you've mentioned (in addition to Mackie, Stokes & Taylor), in all likelihood you're going to be heading towards the bottom of that cycle in 2016. Knowing Danger and his motivations, there are several other clubs who will be better positioned than Geelong to provide him with the success that he craves during those peak years of his career and I'm sure every one of them will be willing and able to reward him handsomely for his services.

While money will come into it at some level for both Hawkins and Danger, when you're in high demand and receiving $1m offers left right and centre as those 2 no doubt will be, then it's going to become a secondary criteria to other factors.

I reckon Melbourne are going to have another huge crack at Danger next year.

 

[Bailey01]

I reckon Melbourne are going to have another huge crack at Danger next year.

Look, he's going to get a good pay check at the crows and how does Melbourne fit his criteria of team success?

 

[Hollow Knight]

I reckon Melbourne are going to have another huge crack at Danger next year.

Geelong have been preparing for Dangerfield day for years, and they'll have the cap profile to make it happen...

Will stay at Adelaide or be a Cat IMO.
