Review Geelong whip Eagles by 93 points to secure Top 4 spot

[Gunf]

Just finished watching the first half and Neale had a very good half that was almost great.

Kicked 1.1 which should have been 2.0, got a free which led to a goal from advantage which would put him at 3.0.

Couple that with some nice second and third efforts and a really nice shepherd that lead to a goal for a team mate.

Pav is from S.A and his team was crap.
He was offered a bucket load from Adelaide.

Geelong can not afford Reid. He isn't worth a Cameron type trade.
He will have a great career. But massive trades can set you back 5 years.

He's not coming here.

As I stated before, pav played in a different era when player movement was not nearly as common. It is a silly comparison.

Are you telling me that a 20 or 21 year old Reid is not worth a 27 year old Cameron?

He is worth significantly more.

The Cameron price was not steep at all. If we could get Reid for the Cameron price it would be the greatest deal of all time.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I would definitely do the JHf price for Reid.

Zero clubs wouldn't, you just need a gws type operator to swoop in and save the trade

 

[Mr Meow]

Incredible first half. Lazy second half. Will most likely play port now in Adelaide and that’s not a great outlook.

Remember to smile every now and again.

I feel like you've been fairly miserable on here the past few months. It hasn't been that bad, has it?

The 'second tier' mids in Bowes and Bruhn were both very good today I thought.

Bowes 1st half was awesome playing midfield, but injuries to Stewart and Humphries he had to play a fair bit in defence

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Think he has 2 small children and a wife who is homesick and demanded to go back to Perth for family support, gotta do it for family reasons…..has a good 6 years left in him….obviously

Mitch & Demi married in 2019, five years ago?

Very much does the team thing and I'm impressed with his ground level involvements. I had expectations that were probably too high but he's meeting them

I feel like he has no right to take the time he does ball in hand. He always looks like he'll be caught but somehow gets it off. Constantly feel like he's just getting away with it but it's working

Both on 100 games

Guthrie was playing game #100

Allen is WCEs captain

You’re right, Dangerfield and Cameron completely screwed our future and it would be reckless to go down that path again.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

2x round 1s, a round 2, like 4 round 3/4s

they also got Willie Rioli and a rd2 and rd3 back

The trade you propose for Harley is basically double

As i said a) wce were stupid bc of go home (which i doubt will apply here) and reid will be worth miles more than jhf was by the end of 26 (much better player).

Wce will want 3 first rounders minimum, 2 in the top 10 and one of those top 6 (and hes worth that). Its unlikely we will have those picks unless we trade out a player that we dont want to.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He is worth a Cameron type trade.
The kid is already holding his own against seasoned men. Wait until he's 22 and has good feel of what it takes at the top level.

The most prodigious talent we have seen since Franklin.

Cameron was late teens picks in a covid compromised draft (ftr 15 18 and 20 for cameron 32 and 34).
Reid will cost a lot more than that it will be something like picks 5 9 and 20 (with very little coming back).

The dude is co-captain.

Yeah but if a player wants out the trade happens. We'll be able to trade out 3 years of firsts soon. Don't think assets would stall the trade, just up to Harley really

 

[supahoops]

If HR wants to come here and sticks to his guns OOC we will find a way. Would want to make sure Lawson Humphries is well tied down by then, he’s going to be just as special IMO.

Look if hes ooc in 2026 and he pushes for geel it helps sure.
But if the 3 r1s are 15 15 and 15 that wont get it done.
In that scenario we will be trading a clear b22 player (either to wce or a 3rd club) to get a much higher pick to get it done.

 

[Commando]

Probably been covered but a real shame Jezz couldn't get 10!

And the worry thing is that WCE will want a payback for the Kelly trade …the PR nightmare of being screwed twice by us would be too much with the fans

I can’t see it happening

 

[cats_09]

Not really

Seems that not winning by 100 is the bigger complaint

If two of those are future firsts then how would they know where they finish? I don't think a player you want gets traded unless that player wants out anyway. It's an empty demand

Will take that. As long as Tommy and Lawson ok.

Ladder will be what it will be now.

I think port only have to lose by a couple of goals and we get 2nd.

For few to have incentive dogs need to lose.

Not out of the question


EDIT. Sorry we need dogs to win and Carlton to lose. For freo to do us a favour.

All possibilities

I think we need GWS to lose and Port to lose by around 4+ goals.
