Traded Ollie Henry - Traded to Geelong as part of a reported 3-way deal (details tbc)

[Ricketz]

This year hey. Did you watch many Collingwood games? Grundy played again 90% ruck time with Cameron or Cox taking about 10%. After Grundy went down Cameron and Cox spit it 50/50. So in the ruck both Cameron and Cox played about half the time that Grundy did for about half the hit outs. Again using stats to make a judgment. Very cute. I would stop doing it though because you are showing your lack of knowledge.

Grundy played 7 games

Ollie Henry so wants to go to Geelong, the team that steadfastly refuses to value him higher than pick 25.

Pick 25 is pretty good! Tom Stewart was 40.

Also, why would a player care about the pick? Surely the contract offer is more important.

 

[Seeds]

different circumstances. Grundy is 29, Henry has his career ahead of him
Grundy is effectively a salary dump. Henry isn't.
Try again

Grundy is 28 and worth two first rounders. given you are still paying a significant portion of his salary and about to bring in a brownlow medalist and pay his salary it really isnt that much of a salary dump. When you combine The two are you really saving any salary at all? it sounds like more you just didnt want him. A player who should of netted you two first rounders. Cameron was only a year younger and we paid three for him.

 

[Collingwoodity]

By all reports you only value a 29 year old brownlow medalist who averaged nearly 30 touches a game this year at only pick 27.

This thread is about Henry I believe.

 

[Rusty Beam]

who gets to drive out of peak times?

I do… Plus I guess most footballers given their hours of attendance at a club.

Particularly if it is to see family and friends during his downtime.

Moggs Creek is almost the same time from Kardinia Park. You better go have a chat with Patty.

 

[Stokey]

If you can't comprehend things like salary, injury, age and form playing a part in asset value, then you're beyond help I'm afraid :/

I can understand bad player payment management. Is it over a $1m a year you're now paying to other clubs?

Grundy's deal makes you lookas incompetent as Gold Coast.

You are digging in your heals because you feel you might have finally got something right and once again you're forced to give it up.

 

[AusMC]

Surely we can't be serious regarding travel times or whatever?
He buys or rents a place in Yarraville, 15mins to work and 45 mins from Geelong (a trip he might make once or perhaps twice a week).

The 'go-home' factor is bullshit when it's literally 45 minutes down the road.

Oh we will. At about 7.20pm I'm guessing.

You are just inventing things now. All the rumours are of Mitchell being paid for by Hawthorn, the rumours surrounding our contribution to Grundy are of it being quite low.

Trying to suggest Jeremy Cameron is of similar value to 2022 Grundy, coming off significant injury, is beyond laughable. Get a clue!

How far is North from Geelong in comparison to Collingwood?

Ahhh, I see now - you can't count nor read! That explains it

There are clearly other reasons and he doesn't want to say why. A player wouldn't scorch earth and say he wasn't going back if it was just that.

Closer… Bulldogs even closer.

So what do you think the real reason is then? Has he fallen out with collingwood players?

as an uncontracted player he doesnt actually needto provide a reason by the way. The fact he wants to leave is enough.

 

[Brian McGee]

Yeah, sorry about that man.

Pretty convenient that JHF had to get home to SA but only Port, huh?

It is convenient for us, but unless you haven’t noticed we managed to get a trade done already by negotiating with a number of teams and getting an outcome everyone was happy with. Has this happened for Henry yet?

 

[Gavin Excell]

How can someone be homesick from a mere 1 hour drive away? IDK.

Comfort zone must be extremely limited.

Or is Ollie just holding the integrity of the system to ransom to glory hunt a flag?

Pretty selfish.

It's intriguing why he is desperate to get out of Collingwood

 

[dazbroncos]

if he really wanted to stay closer to home, Henry should've just played in the GDFL

well he aint playing for the Pies next year so he'll be close to home, fit and ready for us and you've still lost him for nothing.

Good plan!!! Good plan.

[Pure_Ownage]

what's childish about wanting a first rounder, which was clear to Geelong from the beginning?
If Geelong don't rate him as a first rounder they're entitled to their views. But just because Collingwood don't agree with that opinion doesn't mean it's childish.
Sounds like your accusation is more of a confession

Its not childish but it cant realistically be done under the rules. So hopefully the two clubs are working on something that can realistically be done today

No one can travel from geelong to melb in 45 mins legally. Seriously.

Cameron came off a terrible season at gws before he came to geelong. Kicked only 24 goals from 17 games. Does that sound like a gun foward to you? Serious concerns that his best was behind him due to ongoing niggling injuries.

thank you for clearly demonstrating the level of stupidity being shown here.

Many thanks and best to you.

Bruh...

Your obsession with false equivalences in a thread about Ollie Henry is weird.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Say Ollie is Oud right.. and say Oud is ranked as a P7 right.. you've been using it for 2 years right.. Jhye is Amouage right.. a blind buy right.. and Amouage is ranked as a P7 right.. doesn't mean Oud is now ranked as a P25 man and that Amouage now has a higher ranking than Oud at P7 and that man.

People are more excited at the prospect of taking P7 to the draft man. It's an endorphins and dopamine thingamajig man.

Forget about P25 man.. not happening man.

Point Cook to Corio is doable with a good run

Pick 25 is pretty good! Tom Stewart was 40.

Ok keep pick 25 and send us Stewart instead
