Who are we talking about? Is that a nickname for a player?

Mods can we please stop this Ginni talk!
I'm hoping we get Hind in to train over preseason. There's something there.You just know we're gonna scrape the barrel with someone like Hind/Tomlinson lol
Someone or a few I reckon, we’re pretty good at keeping those moves under wrapsSimilar to last year there has been no leaks from the club, we are probably into someone that hasn't been reported in the media.
tbf, it wasnt until he went home at the end of the season that it was something he decided.Someone or a few I reckon, we’re pretty good at keeping those moves under wraps
Shoota’s move wasn’t reported until the last days of the trade period and there was no hints before then.
I’m interested to see how Leppa handles this trade period
I'm agreeing with you but I'm a little bit scared to admit it. I think he's well and truly worth a rookie spot.I'm hoping we get Hind in to train over preseason. There's something there.

Yeah, bailing out after the list was finalised, rather than before.Good. He can sod off after the way he left.
They seem to develop players well focusing on the individual talentsYes but they get their man.
Having played 13 prelims in 18 years, you really have to admire the way they go about trading, which has been crucial to their success. Each year they target available high-end talent (Dangerfield, Henderson, Tuohy, Rohan, Dahlhaus, Cameron, Smith, Higgins, Stengle, Bowes, Bruhn, Henry) and this year they will bring in Bailey Smith.
They are also shrewd enough to hold firm on what they get for players on the way out. They turn Tim Kelly as a mature player taken at pick 24 into 2 first round picks from West Coast. Smart trading. Not to mention pay bottom dollars for players coming in like Henry for pick 25.
They also have a happy knack of plucking players from obscurity in local Geelong leagues (Tom Stewart pick 40, Grien Miers pick 57, Tom Atkins rookie) all inspired selections.
Overall their drafting is strong. They just get the balance right between trading in talent and topping up through the draft and nailing selections.
I love seeing Geeling getting beaten - but love the way they go about building their list - results speaks for themselves. Just compare the record over the past 18 years (13 Prelims), and the Bumbers who havent won a final in 20 years.
He had a great first half of the year at HB and then injury and moving him forward stopped his momentum. Absolutely worth a free hit and runs like the wind. Please don't tell carl, he scares meWrong. You've got no idea. You know nothing about ...
Sorry. Just channeling Carl
He's worth letting him trial for a rookie spot.
Yeah, they both have the "look at me" flog gene.I think Ginnivan 's problems stem from bad parenting. Anyone see his old man carrying on like a teenager in the rooms after the game.
Ain't that the truth....Wrong. You've got no idea. You know nothing about ...

I’ve heard that ginni is a real pig.Who are we talking about? Is that a nickname for a player?
3 years on top of next year.
So what, we only offered 2?
Guess we just weren’t that keen.Oh well
They also have a strict pay structureYes but they get their man.

Not that fussed. The Irish boys can sometimes get as homesick as the Henry boys from GeelongOh well
Bloody Irish henry'sNot that fussed. The Irish boys can sometimes get as homesick as the Henry boys from Geelong
Yep. I’m sick of the usual suspects banging on about that as well.Stop Schultz talk as well.
They won't be quibbling over picks
They don't need more youngsters
They need proven older players that can lead
In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we get pick 20 plus a sweetener
They have a pelagic pay structure but the real money is in the depths

Rioli finished top 5 in the B&F. That is where De Goey finishes.I think the way the cards are falling this would be my preferred option. Peatling I doubt leaves GWS, as he was one of their best on the weekend. Hobbs I dont like one bit. Bundling picks to upgrade higher into the draft makes sense particuarly given this is meant to be a strong draft.
An interesting comparison between Rioli and Noble. Rioli is being talked about as at least pick 6, yet Noble and Rioli about on a par from a statistical standpoint. I think Noble on his own should land pick 20.
mehPlease don’t do this. That kind of talk is similar to the rubbish being pedaled by Tigers supporters in the Rioli thread…
Noble isn’t worth Pick 20 plus a sweetener.
Worth pick 20 full stop. I doubt we get a sweetener though
