List Mgmt. Trade: Allen Christensen traded to Brisbane in exchange for National Draft selection no. 21

[you pick one]

“Allen Christensen has expressed a desire to continue his career elsewhere due to non-football reasons. The club is considering its position in relation to Allen's request.”

I don't see a problem we just put the no28 jumper on Stokesy and get another 7 years out of him and the tv commentators will be none the wiser.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Good thing gaming venues and internet accounts only exist in Geelong.

Nothing to do with the money Brisbane has been boasting it has for the past couple of months either, I'm sure.

 

[GHS33]

Stringer is mainly a forward. Not required. What about Michael Talia? KPD.

Stringer will end up being a big bodied midfielder. Michael Talia is garbage.

Geelong a shithole confirmed

GCFC hold pick 15 or 29. Otherwise, Kolojashnij would be great in a two way trade.

BL hold pick 25. Dan Rich would be a good trade also. Think all there other good mids are off the table.

 

[manboob]

If the Beams deal falls through do we consider pick 13 and Allen for Brisbane's pick 4? Would it ever happen?

GCFC have pick 8 too

Shattered, was my favourite player

 

[meto]

Cant think that Selwood being in Germany right now would be loving this….

GO Catters

I think all of us need to take a deep breath and stop thinking that patronising players is actually a sensible thing to do!

Whether that be Christensen, Varcoe or any of them, the only one who actually seems loyal is the skip!
No one else is deserving of our confidence.

 

[Whiskers]

Shattered, was my favourite player. He preached loyalty and love of the jumper like no other.
He is no free agent, he shouldn't be requesting anything.
If you don't want to be here ok we will let you go but let's send him anywhere but Queensland.
You haven't earned the right to dictate your destination.
Shop him around for the best deal.

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Mmm, the above is odd. If it is Geelong the town then Melbourne is only a 50 minute drive up the road. To me the 'town has become toxic' means less the town per se than some sort of personal relationship(s) going on within it. He may want distance from family, it may be a break-up. Who knows, and I guess it's none of our business anyway.

Very sad to see him go. Great player with heaps of football left in him.

Perhaps a direct swap with Ablett.

 

[Teriyakicat]

maybe there scared of his tattoos, has there been a geelong player with as many tatts?

Josh Hunt had wider arms and legs. Has anyone done a tatt count on him?

 

[meto]

No idea re Motlop. Would be definitely a huge shame if he left, as well as the other departures which seem to be in the pipeline.

Man, if that's all he amounts to stuff him! but I'm hoping it's just hysteria, because I actually bought his crap otherwise.
Loyalty is a joke if this is factual.

 

[Trek]

I don't blame Bundy for wanting out of Geelong due to the town. As I have said elsewhere, the infrastructure and speed limits are a joke. It's borderline feeling isolated due to travel. VicRoads and their archaic, twisted idea of what is ideal for the population who drive isn't befitting for people psychologically. As for business and the kinds of people living and moving here, the rot is still happening. Am planning to get out of the place myself eventually due to these reasons.

Wind back the clock to even '11 and it still felt like it had a heartbeat and was somehow thriving, now, not so much.

 

[JUBJUB]

This had better not morph into some form of indigenous issue with TV and Bundy both looking outside the club. I have no basis for this other than my pea brain joining two dots. And if ever im wrong, now is the time.

GO Catters

trav has said he's happy to stay at Geelong if he's not traded,so you can rule out that idea

 

[strauchnyy]

If GC refuse to budge on pick 8 or 15 + Gorringe/Lonergan/B grader then how about choosing to NOT trade him.

He is contracted. Our list is not what it was when we were accommodating players, it is time to play hard ball.

You and about 10,000 others of us, too, Meto...

 

[CatRiot]

GCFC have pick 8 too

Don't think they'll give pick 8 for Bundy. Think that would be a good trade.

 

[Bobby_]

without reading anything but the title, I immediately thought this may all be linked in with a three or four-team trade involving Geelong acquiring Dangerfield.

Seems very strange Allen has 'requested' a trade though. He often spoke how much he loves the team.

???
He wants to leave the club because of SPEED LIMITS???

sheesh!!!!

EDIT- come to WA and find out what 'isolation' is...
and it's only as isolated as you want to make it out to be.

Relax with the Motlop rumor, his name somehow got thrown up when everyone was guessing who the third possible player who may move was.
There is nothing to suggest Motlop wants to go anywhere

 

[JUBJUB]

A few whispers that Christensen has a pretty serious off-field issue (not drug related) that he feels he cannot overcome while associated with his group of friends in Geelong.

Something to do with a thing this shonk is involved in ?
Remember Bundy is heavily into the nags [not the ones that post on this board ]

Thank goodness Lingy and Harley won't be calling the games, hey?

 

[Teriyakicat]

I think I might re-read this whole thread from page 1...

... said no one ever.....

 

[manboob]

Seems very strange Allen has 'requested' a trade though. He often spoke how much he loves the team.
Surely it wouldn't have anything to do with Clark?
As soon as we looked set to sign Clark, Frawley chooses Hawthorn and now Bundy wants out.

Frawley was always going to the Hawks, he hadn't been in contact with the cats for 6 weeks. And his welcome to the Hawks video went up before the announcement.

Sounds like some serious personal shit with Allen if he wants to go.
