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

[00VicWard001]

Apparently Melbourne and Geelong are on opposite sides of the earth and little Ollie Henry had a bit of a tantrum and wants to go home.

All started because Collingwood wouldnt pay him what he's worth. Found a better offer which was closer to home too. Lucky him.

It's not like you guys have a history of mismanaging your salary cap...

 

[00VicWard001]

This trade will galvanise the lads.. the GDub went about it the right way. It's all about honesty at the end of the day.

Continue being as honest as we can be and we'll win premierships.. not a premiership.. premierships.

Probably will countered by how demoralised the lads will be with the Grundy trade...

Henry is a far better footballer than Ginnivan lets not be silly.

No. Ginnivan is a far better footballer, but Ollie has far more athletic potential, and thus may end up better.

What contract is he worth? How much did Collingwood offer? How much is Geelong paying him?

Nah that's just incorrect.

You should let Craig McRae know ...

Hes not blind I'sure he knows.

I wouldn't say far better but I think that's a fair assessment. If Ollie was currently a better footballer, he would have been played.

Not everyone can be Jeremy Cameron, you need a Brad Close or Gryan Miers running around doing the dirty work.

Nothing against the Grundawg. Love the bloke. Great player. But you know. Somone wasn't there when he signed the big brick veneer home contract. Cameron and Cox go allright as well. They're no lemons.

The GDub is authentic.. so the lads will understand.

Confidential mate. Unfortunately for you, it's need to know, and you don't need to know.

Thought the tweet about the Daicos fan club was interesting. Divisive Daicos boy perhaps?

Interesting what Cat supporters choose to believe.

Rendall - Pick 38 offered
Cat Fans - Nah that's rubbish

Media - Cooper Stephens might leave
Cat Fans - Nah no chance contracted and happy.

I could go on and on.

Nah.
He wanted to go home.
An hour away.
To get tucked in each night.
Simple.

You're right about the last bit though!
Abysmal.
Hopefully that's in the past now.
Except the paying past players elsewhere bit!

I can easily say Henry will be a better player.

You are very astute

Ginnis football IQ is insane. Easily ahead of Ollie in this department who i thought lacked instinctive play a few times this year.

Unfortunately, Ginnivan can't run, otherwise he'd be on his way to stardom.

But I think he's far better, currently. Much smarter, better defensively and more team oriented than Ollie. But if Ollie works out his game, develops his body, and finds his role - lookout.

I see your generalisation, and I see your attempted deflection.

You could see how demoralised they were in the second half of the year when everyone knew he was being traded out. Caused us to really underachieve. We should have shat in the flag this year whilst not having inside mids or kpfs.

He was a tad sneaky by hiding the loss that we got in the Henry trade with the Mitchell trade and presenting it as a three way trade.

It was really 3 trades.

Mitchell for 3 third rounders.
Stephens for a third rounder
Ollie for 25 and a third rounder

The biggest winners of the shenanigans was actually Brisbane, who traded 25 for Geelong's future second, which are probably equal in value considering the hype around next year's draft and got a heap of the points they needed thrown in for free. Geelong may also be big winners, depending on whether they rate Stephens or he was a delist candidate anyway.

Do a poll see you people rate

I'd bet on my deceased grandmother to win a bigfooty who's a better player poll against Ginnivan.

Or we could just take it from jilted supporters who’s better.

No Collingwood person would have, if given an ultimatum, taken Henry over Ginnivan.

 

[PieLebo87]

Your previous opinion of Stephens:

Superstar swan - he calls me ‘deranged’ for doing exactly what he has just done to you hypocrite or double standards? Which one applies more?

Pretty sure I told you several times now I'm disappointed to lose Stephens. I've told the Hawthorn board the same thing. But I'm just a punter, and Geelong rarely lose good players.

Are you seriously trawling through my posts for Stephens quotes? You're deranged mate.

Here's another - he's a massive upgrade on that crab Tom Mitchell, you should have been targetting him instead.

 

[PieLebo87]

haha seeing the change of tune from Pies fans like you has been remarkable. All week it was "make him go to da draft!!1, gelong and their big egos can GAGF trying to underpay us!"

But now it was a bending over? LMAO make up your mind boss

Correct, it was PornHub material in the end.

And let me tell you, Graeme Wright ain’t the type of person I want to be watching do that kinda stuff.

#mackattack on the other hand does have pretty eyes…
