Lewis Young, Jake Stringer, Patrick Lipinski, Jordan Sweet, the list goes on.
The list very much does not go on, especially if you've started it with those four.

Lewis Young has been told to look elsewhere.

Jake Stringer has been looking elsewhere and nobody wants him.

Lipinski is a good role player.

Jordan Sweet had a good final month.
 
To add to the list of players who left and embarrassed us, I would add Patrick Bowden, Wade Skipper, Jason Tutt, BTC, Michael Martin, Jordan McMahon.

I agree with you re the media.

But if I'm Geelong. I do what Brisbane did and trade away their first rounder and offer the Dogs a take it or leave it deal.
At some point you have to take a stand and not strengthen a competitor if the compensation isn't close to fair.
Geelong trades their 1st if I was Power I would be telling them GAGF'D
Traded out the 1st then you aren't serious about acquiring Smith. Good luck with dealing with Connors in future the biggest Player Management Group.

Cats too far down the Rabbit hole now to burn Smith & Connors. Smith wouldn't have made a request unless Connors had assurance that Geelong gets the deal done. So they need to satisfy Power don't imagine he is just going to roll over.

Cats don't have any great leverage here so there will be posturing on both sides. A deal will be struck with both sides not particularly satisfied but enough for all to keep up appearances
 
It’s just so frustrating we’re losing all these AA caliber players for peanuts, especially after the Dunkley deal.
Just because at some stage a player has been AA doesn't mean they are now. Macrae could be a loss but obviously not seen in our future plans.

Caleb on the other hand I think he is done as an AFL player not because of what he can do. It's the fact of how he can be exploited when he doesn't. Not quick average at best as a tackler and easily out marked.


The link that breaks down to allow the overlap running which slices through Defences. He needs to trim down and find whatever extra speed he can muster, or soon I could easily see him being delisted
 
Can’t even think of any player that has embarrassed us after they left the club
There is a good reason for that.

It is an absolute myth, fabrication, distortion of the truth that we have been bent over by another club when one of ours have left us.

Yes some posters here and supporters in general massively over rate our own players so they believe we have been bent over.

But factually we have not been bent over, if it happens this year it would be a first, however I will back Sam Power in over Smith who had a good finals series 4 seasons ago and a good start to the season 3 seasons ago, was bog average at best for the next 1 1/2 seasons and did not play this year.

As for Macrae and Daniel they were AA 5 and 4 seasons ago, this adds zero trade impact now
 
Josh Hill not getting a run in this discussion is disappointing
