Check on that 1yr deal. Might be wrong but havent seen Geelong have offered anything at all. Either way a 1yr extension isnt helping him much other than with medicals...token effort and he'll know it.
Naturally you'd prefer him to stay, but a club has offered him a 3yr deal despite the injuries, despite underperforming, and despite him being on the verge of it being game over for him. Thats a risk to take and Geelong fans should be damn happy for him.
Be it a pick in the 50's or 70's wouldnt worry most clubs in the slightest. Afterall Brissy are taking a fair bit of a risk. Thrown a lifeline.

He's hopefully won a battle to save his career. Plennnnnnnty dont make it each year.

Stephen Wells confirmed that a deal had been offered on Trade Radio last week.

An offer of a one year deal is just shrewd list management for such an injury prone player. Shows that we want to keep him (others such as Narkle have not received such an offer as of yet). Club is happy to move him on if that is his decision. We have a history of being very fair in that regard (McCarthy, Vardy, Kersten etc.).

Good luck to him at Brisbane, hope he can live up to his potential!

Deal done future 3rd for Geelong.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

All upside for Brisbane

 

[The 747]

This is where us having Melbournes 2021 third rounder might come into play as I suggested earlier.

Melbourne's picks are the definition of lottery, they could finish anywhere from top 4 to bottom 4. But maybe.

 

[The 747]

Bummer, well that was a thing that didn't work out for us. Good luck to Cocky and the Brisbane vultures, see you same time next year!

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Shame to see him go and I think he'll be outstanding for Brisbane. Good pick up for the Lions

 

[Hamingja]

Looks like this is imminent

Is the Melbourne one the only future third that you have?

We still have ours

All moot now anyway. Timing
Good on em for at least offering an extension.
Good work Brissy and Geelong. Hope he takes advantage of it.

 

[Hamingja]

We still have ours

Hopefully it is the Dees one we got then, not up on the AFL site.

Hopefully plays at the Vulture St end.

but perhaps with even more injury issues, he cannot string games together at all. Its up to Brisbanes medical team now, I would be confident in them though they have shown great competence in getting players onto the ground.

 

[The 747]

Hopefully plays at the Vulture St end.

Who you thinking of recruiting from our list next year?

Some company for Daniher in the rehab group next year.

Vultures feed on the dead, so...

 

[Duskfire]

Hopefully he gets up and running about. Great player, just needs to get his injuries under control.

Yikes, pretty slim pickings there. Give us a few years to recruit and develop one first?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Deal done future 3rd for Geelong.

Fair deal. Could be anything if his body holds together.

You can have Fort if you want.

 

[Section 5]

In the end a deal got done
Geelong & Lions get these deals through taking into consideration both the Club and player needs.
Cockatoo gets a fresh start and some change in medical & conditioning staff.
Geelong also have excellent staff in these arears but sometimes a slight change is needed.
Cockatoo will also be able to move around Brisbane & Queensland unnoticed even if he sets the world on fire
Complete change in weather also.
So it will be like a new beginning for a relatively young 24 year old

 

[blueiris]

Cockatoo wasn’t getting games at the Cats and isn’t Guaranteed to get games at the Lions it’s a wait and see trade for mine
