It would be interesting if Geelong got to pick 6 and there is a draftee they wanted but didn't think they could get, would they really want to use that pick on Cameron

Would he even get a game with Jezza at the cats?

That’s the GWS opening gambit, right? Not their final word.
Um not sure if you've noticed but six players are heading out of the Giants. 4 of them were somewhat surprising and were expected to stay.
GWS now has cap space it didn't three weeks ago. So it should be allowed to use it as they see fit.

Cats now feeling the wrath of Gil. We saw what happened when he stepped in with Cogs. You can't win.
The onus is on the cats to get him there now. They knew there was a strong possibility that GWS would match. Was clever with their offer but now you need to cough up especially when you get a player to commit to coming to your club.
If we don't have all of those picks, then it means we got Dunkley. It also means we'll have one or two of those picks that we need to use on a KPF. What better way to spend it than on a Coleman medalist? Point is, if Cameron really wants to go to Geelong, then ND is not going to be the way. If it isn't any of the bottom 5, then Essendon will pick him up. GWS also have a pick before Geelong as well.
You can completely forget the PSD because North and Essendon have more cap space to accommodate Cameron's huge contract than Geelong.
Yeah, he can. See Luke Ball.

Gone to prepare those three first rounders to send to GWS
What a shame for geelong to not get jez for free
Might hamper the rebuild of the oldest team ever
I’m sure this scenario was already discussed between Geelong and Cameron and his management, there is no way Geelong walk away from him now. Cameron would not have committed to Geelong if they were to turn around and say “but only if we can get you for nothing”. This would have been discussed and Geelong would have committed to him either way. Unfortunately for Geelong GWS have matched meaning they now have to pay the market price for a million dollar player, similar to what they did to the Eagles last year. No chance he goes to the draft.
They said two 1st rounders and a player. If those two 1sts were top 10 picks sure they negotiate the player out of the deal. But if those 1sts slide close to pick 20 then the player needs adding into the deal.
What those two 1st rounders are will define what else is or isn't needed.

If no player is included, GWS is going to come after all 3 of your picks.
As it stands, given Williams, Crouch, Daniher, Ugle-Hagan (1-5), Campbell (5-10), Jones (10-15), McInnes (15-20), it’s looking quite likely that your first 3 picks are:
16, 19, 25
All 3 picks combined aren’t even worth that much, maybe a pick in the 5-10 range.
So even if they get all 3 of your firsts, given how compromised and diluted this draft is, thats BARELY an upgrade on the pick 10 they would’ve received via the compo.
why should they go for any less? Hard to see them not at least trying for 3x firsts

True the poor Vic clubs are really hard done by when it comes to ripping the cream out of the smaller interstate clubs
The pressure is not on Geelong, it's on Jeremy Cameron? He must've known what Geelong will do before he announced his intentions. The compo pick 12 is more than adequate, if that isn't enough and GWS wish to be lunatics about it all, Geelong should just walk away...
Four major variables, though.
Kelly was much younger, and was coming off a vastly better year than Cameron. He had also shown strong year-on-year improvement.
Cameron is a key position forward, i.e. he's a rarer player type.

Ratty couldn't get a game with out jezza. I thought it was a selection mistake especially in the GF
Many cat fans seem to hate him too
You don't spend (probably all year) convincing someone to come to your club on big money and then just not get it done and walk away
It looks real bad.....well that's what I was told last year anyway
Seems crazy to stay if GWS want him.

If the cats don't get Cameron. How long does the flag window stay open?

Pressure isn’t on Geelong? Lol you are kidding right?
Every man and his dog thought they would match originally, it would of been discussed.
In no way Cameron would of agreed to the deal if it all depended on a Cats freebie.
If it's barely an upgrade on the comp then why would they bother to match.
It's always been the square peg in the round hole. Throwing away a draft selection that's higher than the value of any pick Geelong has.
Best case scenario for both would be to work on deals outside of matching to get GWS extra value.
its not adequate at all! dream on!
