I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader


Also,

Even if he's guaranteed to leave i don't think we can. We won't get nothing for him regardless. If he leaves there's a very high likelihood of relying on Furphy for a block of games in the ruck and/or COS for a block of games 1 on 1 defending.

With Oliver and Smith it will go into our D50 3 times for the season

post reeks of desperation, covering the ass of his club and its 'reputation' and 'culture...and makes it look like he's got something to defend/doesn't know the whole truth/controlling the narrative.

Lloyd said that Oliver 'didn't want to come back' and 'the last thing he wants to do is play at Melbourne next year.' So what does Brad Green

do? Focuses in on 'oh he's cleaning out his locker.' Yeah Brad, because that's the real important part...not the fact that his manager is apparently telling journalists he doesn't want to come back. Let's focus on his locker instead.

Oh and also, can we also take a minute to acknowledge just how insane it is that a CEO of a multi-million dollar AFL franchise, is commenting on twitter, making a 'gotcha' about Clayton and his locker? Could you imagine Mackie, Hocking, Cook etc. hopping on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook when we were trading Clark, Kelly, Sav etc., and being like 'oh no that's not what was said...culcha culcha culcha.'

F*cking abomination of ass-covering sycophants they have down there right now. Feel really sorry for the supporters and the decent people like Gawn down at Melbourne.

 

[BORIS332]

Counterpoint: look at the contracts handed out to Sav and Balta. That's not for no reason

Both very poor decisions. You can turn almost any failed KPF into a good KPD, see Liam Jones, Rory Lobb, et al.

 

[Munich]

Who is this?

 

[StonedCat]

They are the 2 most wanted people in Victoria since Ryan and Walker

Sadly I'm old enough to get that reference

I liked Oliver's mum having a crack on Facebook because The Age (apparently incorrectly) reported he was in Shepparton... while ignoring the rest of the article about wanting out of Melbourne and being willing to take a pay cut to pay for us

Look, you could talk me into it I guess, but I just see a very thin spine and no viable way around that

 

[Gunf]

The only way i would even entertain trading SDK is if HE came to us asking to be traded

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yeah but those poor decisions were made because of constrained alternatives.

 

[cats_09]

This is obviously the #1 consideration

 

[cats_09]

Who is this?

Someone's list manager maybe

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Even if he did I would just say he had to wait until ooc

 

[Gunf]

Even if he did I would just say he had to wait until ooc

That would then depend on the offer.. If it was something we could get next year agreed but if it was massive overs i would consider it

 

[FootyLad0]

Ralphy was running his Tuggers mouth off about how many picks Richmond would have but he didn’t consider…

What if those teams say “no deal”
They’re stuck with contracted Bolton, uncontracted Baker who could walk to National Draft or Preseason Draft and contracted Rioli and only walk away with Pick 1 and Pick 20.

I really hope this happens with Eagles and Freo telling them to GTFO, Tuggers board would go into meltdown about it’s somehow the Geelong Media Mafia’s fault.

If you could guarantee that we would retain those 2 picks plus get Oliver and Smith I think I’m sold.

No idea who this is

Once we get thru the grubby stuff of trades…. and we can look at giving kids a chance ...

it will be interesting to see where this kid goes ...

Tries to play like Cameron …. good role model I guess..

EXTRA WORK PAYS OFF FOR BIG MAN

Mobile Victorian key forward Gabriel Stumpf turned heads at the national draft combine last weekend with his blistering time in the 20m sprint test.

But it perhaps shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the 196cm big man posted the fifth-best 20m sprint time in the combine’s history.

Stumpf ran a time of 2.815 seconds last Sunday, but has been working with a personal fitness and nutrition coach for the past 12 months, with whom he has done a significant amount of speed work.

Running is key for the Northern Knights product, who works hard pushing up the ground from half-forward and models his game on Geelong’s Jeremy Cameron.

“Stumpy’s incredibly athletic,” Knights talent manager Nat Grindal said.

“He’s had a really good year. I think his ceiling is still so high as well. He’s got so much growth and improvement in him. You hope that someone’s willing to take a chance on a kid that’s got a lot of upside.”

Stumpf averaged 2.8 goals a game across four matches for the Knights this year.

Oooh! He’d look great in the Hoops

Lonergan.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

He was a pretty good footballer IMO. Would have happily had him at the Cats.

As for CEO... look, he hasn't been in the role that long. Jury out thus far

Was he the player also , when he was quite young he was given a try out with Manchester United , was that Brad Green

Have you been listening to Trade Radio & JJ

 

[dazbroncos]

Possibly… in not in love with either as players but Clark has a long way to go.

In saying that if we do land Oliver/Smith and have a decent run with injuries, I won’t mind Clark having a year developing in the VFL.

But… a top 10 player running around in the VFL most of the year in their 3rd season isn’t a great sign.

He does need to add more bulk though and I still think that’s a couple of years away.

So maybe this is another development year and in 2026 he can start to hopefully break out.

Inside mids usually take 4 or so years to get humming… unless you are really high-level which I doubt Clark/Bruhn are.

I’d like to see improvement from Clark but I’m not expecting a massive year yet from him.

Yes it’s his 3rd list year but lost his first one entirely. It takes time. So the real playing time is 2 years.

I’m happy to let him grow into it for another 2 years

Go Catters

I'm not sure if those eyes are nice or serial killer-ish

 

[frggr]

Can you touch your toes?

Melbourne are about to

 

[frggr]

Nobody can determine that to be true.

He's a very damaged person, nobody here is qualified to say whether he'll be any better in an environment like Geelong as opposed to Melbourne.

How can you be so sure of the bolded then go on to say the latter?
