We're due our next feed from a shitkicker club.

Apparently the Kardinia Park grass is 17% tastier and that's why he's keen.

All the vic clubs will be going after Rowell I wouldn't get my hopes up.
He will probably stay with Anderson anyway the manager is probably just getting GC to up their $.

 

[The rabbi]

I hear Rowell's a big believer in the adage that "the grass is always greener/tastier on the Joel Selwood stand side"

 

[Turbocat]

Rowell… We have been mentioned as being interested before …so no huge surprise… As usual it gets down to the player. If Gold Coast actually do something he probably stays ..but pressure is on ..they need to start winning. I guess what we offer would suit some that are hungry for wins and finals. I like that we are linked to a OOC player. It does make trades a bit easier to happen. Still probably cost more than we got BSmith for.

Really wasn’t much of a secret meeting now then was it

 

[My Tilly]

The thing is, whenever Geelong target someone, it's usually a process which has been years in the making.
If the media have only just heard about it, Rowell & the club would have expressed interest a while back in some capacity.

I think he would be a wonderful acquisition.
A defensive-minded midfielder in the Selwood mold.

 

[SkittleCats]

The great thing about it not being a "secret" anymore is that now we get to watch the nuffies melt about us bringing in another elite player.

A private apartment.

Only 4 attendees named.

Who let the cat out of the bag?

Excuse the pun.

 

[sexyhunk]

hope buckley is a better pundit than a coach then.

if is a boom recruit mid we looking at i hope they aim high like a matt rowell or zach butters.

ok guys, time to come clean. I am in fact the sexyhunk andrew mackie.

That's almost as good as getting the player, I reckon

Excuse the pun.

The same person it always is: the agent who is trying to drive his players price up.

 

[frggr]

If Rowell's as into the coaching side of things as everyone says, which other club could you possibly want to be at?

Hardwick's a one trick pony. Chris Scott is a mastermind.

Groundskeeper fertilizing it with PEDs

Groundskeeper SACKED.
Rowell just left at Kardinia Park all year to graze the grass.

Or is the billy goat a smokescreen for getting LDU and Oliver on the cheap #4dchess

Imagine the melts that would result from us getting 2 of LDU, Oliver or Rowell at the end of this year. It would advance climate change a few decades at least.

 

[Cataholic]

The same person it always is: the agent who is trying to drive his players price up.

That was the obvious answer, so if I were Scott I'd be telling Rowell that 'if you want to come to the GFC you tell your agent to keep his mouth shut.If he doesn't do that we'll take your answer to be no.'

Excuse the pun.

Probably Matty's manager trying to get an increased offer from either the Sun's or another party - he's been linked with a return to Melbourne for about a year now

 

[SkittleCats]

That was the obvious answer, so if I were Scott I'd be telling Rowell that 'if you want to come to the GFC you tell your agent to keep his mouth shut.If he doesn't do that we'll take your answer to be no.'

If we did that then we'd never get another player across again. This is how it works. Once a second club shows interest in a player coming over then it is the responsibility of the players agent to play those clubs off against each other to maximise the deal his player gets. At least this time it got out later, no paparazzi style shots of Scott at Adelaide Airport like when we wanted Travis Boak.

More than Smith (discounted by the knee) certainly. He would cost 2 r1s (gc would want at least one to be in the top 10) so if we make finals that's a hard sell. I think he's worth 2 r1s by the way but I doubt he leaves gc when they are finally on the up so I reckon this will be like the boak thing.

Agents never keep their mouths shut.

Worth is something I always find hard to nail .. OOC but his age and previous #1 etc … lets face it each trade has its own dna. I agree that GC start winning , and having done the hard years he may want to hang around. No blood no foul … so no issue with us showing interest and putting on a bit of tangible Sal Cap kpa. In the end happy players usually stay …so Id say odd are in favour of him staying ….. atm.

 

[Baudolino]

If this happens we won't have the currency to bring in Harley Reid or a KPF. Too many elite players want to come to us! #destinationclubproblems

Rowell had his own significant injury concerns, lest we not forget, KNEE and SHOULDER.
His last 3 seasons have been great.
