In what world can Geelong afford him salary or trade wise?

In what way could Geelong afford his attitude?

Any posters who mention getting really top end picks, like Norfs #2, and splitting it into a couple of other 1st rounders, like a #6 and #10, need to remember that won't really apply to this year's draft.
Cal Twomey, who is pretty spot on with his drafting values, has repeatedly said this is not your normal draft, where you sell the farm to get your hands on top 5 picks for generational ready to go players like Harley Reid, but you could put a blanket across the first 15. So any list manager worth anything isn't doing split deals like that, unless it's specifically to cover for bids on FS or NGA.

Exactly what I was thinking last night. If anything those with a top 5 pick will be trying to get 2 picks for themselves. If you're St Kilda for example, you're going to give up 7 and 8 for 10,13 and 16.

Say North wanted 7 and 8 from Saints. There's no way Saints are doing it.

I think Fremantle prepared for this perfectly by grabbing 3 picks in the top 20. I think they're poised to be able to get three gun players in the one draft. I wonder if they could use one of those picks to get up the order and guarantee a player they need.

Don't pay the Perryman, don't even fix a price.
Cos he'll ditch you for the other 'Pies.

Nice one Cliff de Burg.

One Ford dealership, two pubs and a dairy farmer in the Geelong foothills.

And if that's not enough, he'll play for the love of the game too.

Also means getting pick 2 is gonna be the easiest it has ever been (except for the Weller pick 2)

This forum and trade rumours in every thread is a dog’s breakfast atm.

Can someone actually update WTF is going on at Alberton?

Ollie Wines finally earned his wings as a commercial pilot and feels he needs to spread his said wings and find a suitable club with an avian appropriate mascot. We’ve traded Butters for Luko because there was an issue at Rozee’s bucks night. Both McKenzie, Dixon and Boak have been offered 5 years each by the Cats. All pending said player requirements of mashed banana’s on toast, nanny blankets and a good cuppa!

Willing to try anything different to the McEntee, Frank Evans, Narkle merry-go-round.

But I'd love a top name, we've got the cash.

His he really? A top name.

No he isn't. Top name is Pickett or Bolton.

So Daniher, Cameron, McKay, Curnow and Hogan are all guns. JUH, Darcy and Georgiades are heading that way. Naughton close to.

Neale, Hipwood, MacDonald, Morris, Lewis, Riccardi, all serviceable second or third talls.
Finlayson, Marshall, Lukosius, Lord - all stack up well/are better than these other talls.

So outside the Dogs and Blues - few teams have 2-3 gun tall forwards. Maybe the Suns, Crows and Freo in the future.

What has really set us back (yes yes it’s Hinkley and game plan) is a lack of small and half forwards.

Evans, McEntee, Narkle - just not up to scratch. DBJ and SPP are fine but not of the quality of Papley, Daniels, Jones, Ah Chee, Cameron, Miers, Dempsey, Watson, etc etc etc.

Richard’s will help but only marginally. The draftees we have seem ok but still awhile off if they make it. There only seems to be one or two good smalls in the early part of the draft - not sure we will be in the space to get them.

So can we repurpose someone? Sinn, Jones, Bergmann, Evans, Burgoyne - all have the attributes but only have just been settled in the backline and look beat down back. Mead is too slow. Lorenz?

Really it seems like it has to be Rozee. So if we can build some midfield depth to allow him to go forward more that may help. Otherwise Sinn might be the other.

Sammy’s a hecken gun mate. God hope he comes back 100% and the staff eases him responsibly back into it. He makes every defensive player step shorter and keep their head on a swivel. Works the whole field and can finish with class but has also became quite the opportunist. It’s a travesty he went down this year both personally and for Port, said it at the time, can’t win a premiership without Pep’s.
