Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Iamspock]

Baz still not nominating Geelong is starting to get interesting given all the brouhaha.

Wonder if a StKilda or Essendon waded in with a big offer at this point, what could happen?

Knowing him, he wouldn't want all the GF noise to be getting in the way of his big life choice event. Will wait until he has clear air, and its all about him.

 

[Iamspock]

I'd say it's 99% he still gets to Geelong, but even if one or 2 other clubs have a late crack, it at least forces Geelong to work harder to satisfy us quicker.

There was a reason we got him at pick 6 in the draft, others didn't want him, and would maybe be wary again.

 

[Freshwater]

AFL, Corruption and being reported by NewsCorp doesn’t sit well in the backward state of Victoria. In your read Newscorp you are ruining our country.

Mick Warner is at the Herald-Sun and Australian and is by far the most courageous, honest and trustworthy of all footy journos from all media. They also had the late great Sam Landsberger. So not all dark at NewsCorp.

 

[DannyB4]

Don't you mean the AFL, on behalf of the Swines, to swoop?

In fairness, in that scenario, the AFL really wanted Buddy at GWS. The Swans pissed off the AFL to the point of draft pick penalties and the loss of COLA.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Is Bailey Smith holding off nominating because the Cotton-On investigation has legs?

Based on that boxing/pool video he likes to...hold off

 

[TiAn_]

Geelong fans pointing to the fact that Tom de Koning celebrated with Sam with the 2022 flag as to the fact that there's nothing to see with Bailey Smith.

Yeah, because Bailey Smith has direct family members that play for Geelong and are part of the c-suite at Cotton On, obviously.

I was told that if the 2021 GF was at the G then we would have employed a plain clothed ex SAS soldier with instructions to shoot on sight if Finlay Macrae got within 20m of the rooms.

 

[Substance]

The past several pages are pure fantasy thinking the AFL has any integrity to do a proper investigation, assuming there's anything to be found. The Talia drama should have hammered this home.

Nah he was always rated 6 in that draft

Geelong supporters lathering each other up that they're getting Butters in 2026

"He's buying land here" - source: a random landscaper

Pffft, no one buys land in Geelong. Frank Costa just gives it to them.

There is a possibility CD and Garcia still may seek out and look to be traded

 

[Anja_Nees]

BTC to Melbourne according to AFL.com.au.

Extraordinary career to stay in the system this long despite rarely playing.

 

[BrisDog]

Mick writes the book and then is castrated from AFL media. Victoria, run by the AFL. Victoria is crooked. The state has gone to sh*t. Run by a silly game.

Great book. Nice little section on the Talia affair. Nothing to see there apparently?

I find that hard to believe.

'gettable' saying O'haloran is now potentially on the move and only mentioned us in the chase. opinions?

According to Jay Clark “The Bulldogs and Geelong are yet to start talks on a deal for gun midfielder Bailey Smith”.

I find that hard to believe.

I listened to him on The Rush Hour as well and I would assume that because he hasn’t officially nominated Geelong yet, our hands are sort of tied with what we can do and what we can ‘officially’ start talking about with the Cats. No doubt there have been some unofficial chats, just nothing can really be publicised until he actually says where the heck he wants to go

It wouldn’t make any sense given he’s not an afl standard player, every time I watch the Giants he’s a liability.

Which is what Jay should be saying instead of making up rubbish everybody knows to be inaccurate

Should go as P Diddy after all his latest stupid social posts. Guys coming across as a flog

Himself. A clown.

Perhaps you should have used the past tense. Frank Costa died in 2021.
