Should We Sign Jordy Now?

[Sea fog]

There is discussion in the media about this which is a bit polarising. Some say we should wait to see how the season pans out. Others think we should sign him now as he is indicated he wants to commit to the club. He is our best player and imagine signing him up before other clubs come with inflated offers to perhaps sway him. We need to get the Henry deal done soon. Other clubs are signing players to long term deals early in the season. Look at free agents like Heeney, Macrae etc. off the market now which is good management by their clubs.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

My thoughts are to trade him. He has blown all the chances afforded to him.

He'll let the club down again if we re-sign him.

 

[Jen2310]

Wait til mid year and see how he performs. I'd get the Moore deal ticked off, get some youngsters deals done, then sort out jordy; who says he wants to stay, so no reason to rush. Its under our terms.

Sign him ASAP. He's ready to take the comp by storm and will just become more expensive.

We have to, seeing Moore is gone.

All the cards are in our hands, he has a sense of obligation to the club which is a good sign…shows character. I would sign him under market rates…my bigger concern is his injury profile.

So far he’s been found guilty of getting into two fights, I’m sure there are plenty here who have had more or done worse…he’s hitting his prime and maturity should follow as well. Richmond had Dusty, and we have Jordy. Swan was similar too, for me it’s a no brainer sign him up

Graham Wright must have a figure and a contract length in mind now. Offer it. If his/his manager's response is too much, then indicate to him that he can investigate elsewhere. I think that approach should be taken with all of the players...

 

[lethalburns]

I don't see any reason to delay as long as the contract has some restrictive covenants in it that limit the amount of money Degoey gets if he is fired for cause.

I agree
We should trade him for high value and nail the picks. A few seasons of good youth coming through together wins flags.
If Jordy was going to do it , he would have had done it already.

 

[jonbe54]

Love what Jordan brings but deeply reserved on trust issues.

To date he has been a ticking time bomb.

Whichever way the club jumps it could blow up in our faces.

I mean of course you try to sign him now it’s the lowest his negotiating power has been since 2017, but he’s clearly not the number 1 priority. I’m sure once the Moore deal is done JDG will be next in line. If I’m Henry’s management I’m waiting until second half of the year in the hope he’s broken out.

 

[manicpie]

I'm not re signing him based on one game. Wait till the end of the year. He's shouldn't be a priority,

Henry is going to be a gun, he's not going anywhere, just because his brother plays for Geelong doesn't mean anything, plenty of brothers playing at different clubs. I would keep Henry before DeGoey

I don’t really have an opinion on the whole Jack/ Ollie reunion I just expect Geelong will come hard based on their pre-draft interest. On the flip side you have JDG’s management talking about wanting to get a deal done which is good because it provides us leverage. I would question the list management knowledge of anyone preferring to sign JDG over Henry. What I also know is Henry’s management know that there are people with views like ours so they’ll want to wait.

Sign him up now, if we wait we end up paying more for him. So he has been in a couple of fights he didn’t start it’s hardly a big deal

I think you'd be questioning the list management of most AFL list managers. I'm assuming you'd agree that Jordy is going to sign to a much higher salary and would be worth considerably more in trade. If list managers considered Henry to be a more important signing, wouldn't that be reversed?

 

[snagbreac]

I have also heard rumours from my source (a player agent) that De Goey will not sign at Collingwood. He does not appreciate the club's stance towards him and has decided to ignore the offers.

I would take 2x first rounders for Henry any day. Happy to trade him if the deal helps us secure someone else. I think we have commodities and stocks which have value and if clubs are willing to over-commit, then I'm excited to let that unfold.

What are you talking about? Noone is paying close to that for Henry.

If a club is willing to offer us two first round picks for Henry, I'd make that deal.

If you offered me some of the drugs you have ingested, I'd take them.

If someone offered me $500,000 for my Nissan, I'd sell it too.

 

[snagbreac]

I will admit it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. But my point is, if Geelong can offer us a decent deal that satisfies out needs and their wants and we're the clear, we're stupid not to take it.

I'm not on drugs, don't own a Nissan and like the farting unicorn.
