Good trade.

Henry and two picks we aren’t going to use for 25 and Mitchell.....hopefully with some salary subsidy

Geelong ended up giving up a late first round pick player to get a first round pick player so they paid what we demanded.

Edit....plus Geelong sold the farm to get that 25 in the first place

Would much rather him stay, think he has buckets of talent.

However, was always conceded that he had no real weapons outside of being a good mark. In between size, no speed, no physical gifts.
That being said, Ginni doesn’t have physical gifts either but is a pure ‘footballer’.

Still think he goes on to a great career but won’t be surprised if the holes in his game don’t disappear and he fades out of the system.

Disappointed.
Had the opportunity to put him in the draft, make him nominate a huge number to ward off other clubs. Forcing Geelong to pay overs for what right now is a middling talent.
And I reckon every other club besides Geelong would have celebrated taking back the power that such a move would have proven. And emboldened them to not be held to ransom in the future.
Geelong have won a Premiership, and then splashed cash to further reinforce the superiority. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.
 
So basically we have traded 41 and 50 that we were very unlikely to use, retained 27 and gained Mitchell and 25 for Henry.

Wright gets a pass.
Taking 16 25 and 27 to the draft...or bundling 25 and 27 to move up even higher.

Losing an expensive ruckman and a bed wetter..... and picking up a versatile kpp, an exciting forward/wing, a depth key defender and an inside mid Brownlow medallist

If it was just 25 sure. This was the right decision. Pragmatic and fruitful.
 
For better or worse, no matter where Ollie goes for the rest of his life people might just whisper "sook" as he walks past.

Sadly he brought it upon himself with his stories and spin. Hope he thinks it was worth it.
 
We just wanted to get ahead of the trolls from Geelong.

Awesome. Allows us to laugh at stray cat fans quickly changing their tune on Henry from pies VFL player to match winning elite young talent now that the cats have been forced to pay fair market value.
