Most likely he will get the contract from West Coast and soon but if things become disruptive surrounding a new coach etc. all I know is what I’ve been told that we are really into him. No idea what his side looks like and you’re probably right, he’s just leveraging a fat payday, but Geelong do want him.

Im sure we do want him i just dont think hes leaving there. I think between him and his dad they are just squeezing the eagles for cash.
We were only realistic to get him next year not this year anyway.

The Jezza trade ended up being picks 15, 18 and 25. We got back 2 picks in the 30s which we then traded the next year to the Bulldogs for pick 25 (Knevitt).

So Jezza for 2 late first rounders was the biggest steal of all time.

Incidentally, the same draft saw us use your Jordan Clarke pick (24) for Conway. So that will take a few years to see how that plays out.

I don’t agree with the logic of judging the trade based on who you take with the picks, or what the future trades were for the picks you acquired.

They are totally separate conversations.

The trade was Cameron + 2 picks in the 30’s for three picks in between 15-25. What either club did with those picks is a different discussion. The trade was the biggest steal of all time, and gws matching the deal was barely of consequence in the long run.

If gws and the media want to pretend that the picks between 15-25 were legit first rounders then that is fine by me.

The Danger trade would give it a run

Another inconsequential RFA matching just for show so the club can save face with their fans.

12 pack thanks

 

[CatTricks]

Any of the ITKs know if we’re likely to take Cam Mooney’s boy Jagger in this years draft?

This years 1st rounder, a FR2, and we pay for an anger management course for Bevo.

This should get us Smith.

Pretty sure Jagger is bottom age this year so his draft year will be 2025. We will also have to see how he develops next year.

has been offered a 1 year contract for 2025.

I wonder if Alex Davies has had a change of heart on hearing Dusty coming in next year? The door is still ajar I’ve been told.

FishGutz might know?

 

[Reg Hickey]

Isn't that why i asked the question in the first place? If i knew i wouldn't be asking? lol

Bailey hasn't played in 12 months maybe they don't care if they lose him to the Draft if the offer is "in their eyes" shit?

Like i'm positive the two clubs will get a deal done but they nearly signed off on Dunkley to go to the Draft, what's stopping them with Smith this time? They don't have a pick in the first round of this Draft so it's not like they can pick him back up or waste a first rounder on him...but Hawthorn probably would? Tigers probably would? Carlton probably would?

Again, i'm no expert so asking me what i think is pointless....

When you have a 1st and 2nd on the table (what most reasonable folks think we are likely to offer and would be a fair offer), and you knock it back and take nothing instead out of spite, you are doing yourself more harm than anyone else.

Can't see any club being that stupid. Even Gold Coast wouldn't do it.

Harsh opinion: but if he is choosing to stay in his comfort and safe zone (rasied in Cairns), despite not being best 22, is he really determined and committed enough to come down here, work hard and prove himself? How bad does he want to be an AFL footballer?

If rumours are to be believed, Pies and Cats have both reached out; if this bloke is serious he is going to one of these great clubs and working his backside off to play in a footy mad state for a great club with elite development and great culture.

It concerns me he wants to stay in his comfort zone and play for a nothing club, a club who has shown they don't rate him.

Not surprised. Since he's come in he's been solid. I'd give him 2

Hes signed on already.

I agree on smith.

On list changes i think rohan will go too and bews is a chance to. We will have to bring in a ruck cheap (maybe a DFA) to fill a list spot.
Murdoch jeka and hardie are gone off the rookie list.
Foster and willis might get 1yr deals purely because we a lot of other list spots cleared.
I would say we upgrade clohesy.

We will be taking 3 or so at the back of the ND and at least 3 rookie/ssp picks id say.

I agree on the need to pick up a mature back up ruck in the off season (along with a power mid, raw key forward and small defender - I'll write a deeper analysis on this after our season is done).

My understanding is that Stanley had to be convinced to play on in 2024, so I'm assuming he's not lacing them up for another one. And while I'd love to see Conway own the ruck position in 2025, I'm not sure that he or his body are quite there yet.

And if Stanley is gone and Conway is out, we have very little left. Neale should stay forward, SDK should stay back, and Blicavs can pinch hit for a few minutes to give the #1 ruck a break but we're in trouble if we need him to ruck for whole games. Furphy and Edwards are a long way off. So I think we need a Soldo or Preuss type, someone who is not getting a regular game where they are now but could come over and play anywhere from 5-12 games in the ruck and hold his own.

Maybe rather than raiding someone else's list, we should look at the state leagues for a mature-bodied ruckman looking for an opportunity. I didn't see much of the game but by all accounts Brayden Crossley from Southport carved up our VFL side last week - he's a 25yo ex-AFL ruckman with a big body who might be worth a look IMO.

Means sweet FA these days as we all know PO.

lol
Here’s 2 others I heard.
SDK has plenty of suitors from up north and the club is seriously listening.
We are balls deep in a few WA blokes.
With a left footed bloke within our grasp. Maybe just maybe .

Isn't TDK allegedly going north?

 

[Gee Class Loco]

You are correct.
A family affair? Maybe.

 

[My Tilly]

You are correct.
A family affair? Maybe.

Aren't they both from the Mornington Peninsula?

 

[Cataholic]

You are correct.
A family affair? Maybe.

The two rumours make better sense together, whereas you consider one without the other and it makes less sense.

But only rumours at this point it must be said.

 

[Cataholic]

Why TDK's alleged, and seemingly sudden, interest in moving north seemed odd in isolation.

But if SDK is considering it too.....well, it makes some sort of sense all of a sudden.

Similarly, SDK's alleged consideration of a move doesn't make any sense without TDK's rumour.

But only rumours atm!
