Is there another realistic target we could be after if Oliver is staying as now seems likely?

possibly but everyone likes a big name, dont think it be this window. more likely link to some names like reeves, reidy, etc

 

[Mangy Carl]

+ a guy named Perryman.

Not sure who he is but good luck to him going to the Pies.

Who in their right mind would pay $900k for Perryman?
A handy flanker at best. Not a key position, not a gun mid, not a match winner, not a line breaker, just a decent honest footballer..
Not worth anywhere near that money..

 

[foxdog50]

Apparently, they are announcing it tonight at their B&F

That his leaving or staying?

 

[Gunf]

Is that still correct. Weren’t they looking at changing that?

Think that comes in next year with the changes from memory could be wrong though

They think they can win the flag next season and are trying to capitalize whilst a few players still have some good footy left in them.
Perryman certainly strengthens them. Excellent footballer.

And people try to complain about Geelong's salary cap, yet a footballer like Perryman (if $900k is correct) is getting paid as much as any Cat..

 

[Turbocat]

Consensus it appears that it will likely be pick 15 plus something. Maybe an F2 or F3. I think it will probably land somewhere around there. He’s uncontracted so they can’t drive too hard a price.

It will get worked out ..as it usually is. If it was as you say then ..we probably walk away happy enough. Again like a similar to the previous question. If we trade Fr2 …does that lock our Fr1 in….and prevent us from trading it in the trade period …or both the trade period and the 2024 draft…. so that we could not trade it in the 2024 like we did with Holmes.

I agree.
Ridiculous money for a player no different to Guthrie.

I’m not entirely sure how that works? Best defer to Lana or Pure_Ownage

 

[Turbocat]

I don't get the Himmelberg move to GC for either party

Does he sort of Luk out ..him in for a 600,700 boost in cap space? I struggle to see it too

 

[STPer18]

Sounds like the Oliver fiasco is either happening on Geelong's terms or not at all, which is perfect for me.

 

[rocker_oz33]

GWS get raided alot .
They been closed to a GF last two years .

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Maybe we could see if the giants want to trade a couple of their picks this year for our future first. Then use that to offer for Oliver or another Mid.

 

[Lana]

It does, I'd find a way to trade out our future 3rd for something, to force Melbourne to trade us a future 3rd to allow us to move our future 1st

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

That he is not being traded to anyone, thus staying.

 

[Lana]

They already have King, Walter and are giving Mac Andrew a big contract. They didn't need to bring someone else in.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

How many players who have been clearly out of shape were ever able to get back into shape and dominate? Genuine question. I don't know the answer.

If I can shed 32kg, no exercise (RA, OA etc)

Oliver, at 27yo, playing at Geelong, reigniting passion for footy, in a friendly competitive environment, with Bailey Smith the training freak + other players supporting him, should shed the 5kg (some say 10kg). Add the dietary support + sport psychologist, who he knows. It’s still up to him, with a second chance, there’s hope.

 

[Romeoh1]

But they are all taking unders because of the lifestyle down there and because Geelong is well run great place to work club, and then they see someone brought in on overs, someone who hasn’t been playing that well and has issues.

When the next contract renewal comes up, why shouldn’t some players want a lot more?

Sure - it’s a risk on some levels, but I reckon our list is more mature than that. Sometimes the world isn’t as egalitarian as you’d like and you just cop it. I don’t see it unsettling our players. We need a couple of elite mids and that’s the difference. We’d have made the gf this year with just one more elite mid. I’m in the ‘he who dares wins’ camp but we might not get the deal done. It might not work out if we get it done. That’s life. I’m ok either way!

 

[dont stop me meow]

Lol what? It was directed at people living in Melbourne. Of which I am one.

And it's *your. Thank you.

Hahahah wow.. bit sad that
Tell you what, you'd better be right on your spelling and grammar from now on my friend because I'll be watching you like a hawk

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Popcorn ready for Melbournes b&f, they’ll no doubt say all the usual shit about he’s staying, they love him, never wanted him gone etc, next week let’s see.

 

[Down at K Park]

Happy if latest Oliver reports a true.
We can focus on bringing in the one true asset we desperately need in the midfield . . . Smith.


Wouldn't mind bringing in another ruckman. Braydon Preuss could be a good option. Get him for cheap too.

We desperately need an inside mid, not an outside winger like Smith. He's a bonus, not a need.

And Preuss is always injured. Wouldn't bother with him.

I’m hearing Oliver isn’t going to be attending the best and fairest tonight…

Will be easier for the powers that be to shut down the baseless speculation about his potential departure without him there, I guess.
