No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

They are absolute vultures. I hope other teams just decide to treat them differently and won’t entertain dealing with them in the first place.

For Kelly they got two first rounders, 24 and 37 and gave back steak knives. This despite him being uncontracted and notably homesick with a family issue. They can't then turn around and say a late first rounder is fair for Bazsmith and a future likely late last round pick is fair for Oliver. Play the game correctly or get ****ed and lose Smith in the national draft.

The Cats play on a completely different field when it comes to trade week and have the AFL backing. It's mind-blowing that the rest of the competition just sit back and allow it.

Smith will get to Geelong no matter what happens tbh. Clubs are terrified of player managers and how it will affect future dealings with their guys. Do them over you lose access to their entire pool in the future and they’ll make life very difficulty for you. They basically run the show

Pick 17+ de koning or another first round pick. That's what the dogs should be asking for. Nothing less. The rhetoric on Fox trade show is disgusting. Saying pick 17 is enough for a 23 year old gun midfielder. Yea right, he's definitely worth less than a 29 year old defender ( a good one at that) with a bung back! Contract or no contract, the dogs should absolutely go to town on those farmers who look like tennis players.

trade period is too long. they could knock it all over in 1 week. it's just about keeping the AFL in the news. (because cricket is lousy at self promotion)

It's amazing what a year, an ACL and the Geelong mafia will do to the value of a trade.

Remember the talk last year was we'd have to depart with our pick 5 PLUS something else.
