At the end of the day… ain’t no way the Dogs don’t take our R1 if Mackie doesn’t budge.

I don’t know how it works, but maybe Mackie can sign his part of the deal for whatever it is he is offering and take off.

Power either signs the other half and submits it or he doesn’t and Smith walks and we get him anyway in the ND.

I can’t see a professional organisation flush #17 down the toilet… Especially when it’s actually a realistic offer imo.

They dreaming if they are serious about a top 10 selection.

It really depends upon who of the veterans are retiring.

Hopefully our less experienced players improve in 2025.

Who will make AFL level from our VFL.

Clark and knevitt I am very confident on with the right opportunities.
Stevens willtshire and clohesy I'm not sure yet and not sure on our development talls.

There's no 3rd club that would trade us a top 10 pick anyway and if we got it we would keep it. Power knows it won't happen.

Will be something like 17 and a future 2nd.

The other factor is Connors, he won't let it happen.

He's got a good relationship with Geelong. Always has.

Unsure of who he supports, but do know his sister is a Geelong supporter, so you'd assume there was some fondness there too before he got into the management game.

He'll put some pressure on to get the deal done, nothing surer.

We're wary of trading the F2 with the Oliver deal looming over us though.

Unless it's 5 minutes till the deadline and that deal is completely dead in the water, I'd say 17 on its own, or 17 + 35 looks more likely.

I’m starting to doubt Mackie will even give up a F2 with #17 without something coming back.

Might be a #17 or nothing or #17 and an F3 to be nice.

I think it will be 17 and an f2 and we get some late pick like an f4 or something back. Both sets of supporters will be unhappy so it's about right. But we will take him at 17 in the draft if it falls through.

Well written article Klink: and do agree with all being said including our careful strategic management of the salary cap and the 'buy-in' of all players accepting less than the open-market which has been a vital ingredient to our on-going success and this extraordinarily, dates all the way back to 2007 and thereafter. But I still think we're a very live chance of getting Oliver, however it will not be until next Wednesday come 7.30pm that we'll likely know the final outcome.... here's hoping and GO CATS !!!

I still maintain that the only thing standing between us and CO, is the egos of the list managers and decision makers at MFC.
THEY gave him the massive deal. THEY shopped him twice, then pulled the pin.
Until and unless wiser heads prevail and they accept that they will only get our FR1 and 70-80% of CO’s salary paid by us, then no deal gets done.
If not, he walks to the draft and they risk everything.
Also, the priority should be the Smith deal.
CO as an option doesn’t really exist unless it absolutely lands in our lap like the Bowes deal.

I'm assuming Smith won't get done until right before the deadline in the last hour and by then we will have either already traded Clayton in (in which case the dogs will know they can't get the f2 as the f1 would be gone, they would have to settle for whatever 40s pick we have left) or the CO deal is dead by then.

Their egos are a big issue but the bigger one is the wage.
Geelong won't pay more than 900kish I reckon, melb won't pay more than 1-200k which means he's got to agree to forfeit about 300k a year (approximately) at least for the trade to happen. Hence Clayton will be stuck there for his contract.

I know Oliver was flying when he got his new deal… but when do player managers need to be looked at for doing so well for their client that it just becomes a stupid contract.

I dont even know how to articulate what I mean.

Connors job is to negotiate for his client… but my god, how can he get Oliver to stick it to the Dees so hard that it not only hampers the Dees, but also Oliver himself.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

If the dogs don't accept pick 17 then send him to the draft. Smith is coming off an ACL, high risk profile with all the extra curricular activities and personality.

Everyone knows they will take our 1st, the end. The risk is with us. They know it, we know it. They can ask for whatever they want, but the league and PA won’t let Bailey get to draft. It’s actually how boring the dogs are, accept the inevitable, and move on.

That's why the afl should put a max length limit on contracts but again they won't stand up to aflpa.

They seem extra pissed about Smith for some reason.
