One of the few you can generally trust. Doesn’t go early with opinions

I miss Sammy L

 

[Pencil case]

As in Dylan Shiel BACK to GWS?

Yeah, Tom Morris is reporting it.

 

[grassman75]

This...people wonder why I keep saying to piss Ballarat off and play at least 2 Marque games at the "G". If they want players like Butters, we need to think "bigger" not "smaller".

Club survey is asking if we would support us playing a home game at the G

 

[Bulldogs85]

Yeah, Tom Morris is reporting it.

Mitch Cleary was the one that Reported it on channel 7

They all blur into one, apologies

You have got nothing to apologise about I just find it a dumb move by GWS

Perhaps the exits of Hawkins, Tuohy and Rohan will go some way to magically free up their salary cap so that they can get recruit whoever they wish.

The line for years is that these types of players had taken significant unders to keep the group together, because Geelong is just so great. Now their retirement is the reason why Geelong has so much cap space.

BTW, on an unrelated note, not sure if Emma Hawkins' Cotton On ambassadorship (no doubt highly paid) also finishes up this year.

 

[my plums]

what position? Because previous yrs we had him fwd and back and he was hardly sighted. He won’t be playing midfield at afl level.

Everyone is saying we need midfield depth

But, but, but ... Hawkins is on base salary, remember.
Oh, you mean Emma Hawkins.

The afl integrity unit would take a look surely.....oh wait

Ah yes, the old ‘cheating’ tactic. An oldie, but a goodie

 

[The Inbetweener]

If the Cats get Oliver I think the chances of us getting more Geelong’s 1st for Baz are low. Trading out 2 1sts in one trade period will mean they’ll want to hang onto their 2nds.

 

[doggy_dog]

As in Dylan Shiel BACK to GWS?

Would be such a weird move for them to allow O’Halloran to go based on getting Shiel back. Doesn’t have much left in the tank imo

 

[Dogs Rule]

I love how the AFL bang on about equalisation and yet these Cotton On and 'farm visits' are just waved on by.

It's as clear as day what's going on here with Geelong and the whole comp should be p***** not least of all Sydney who were banned from trading after Buddy.

So how can dodgy deal after dodgy deal just go through with Geelong?

Seems some clubs are more equal than others.

Surely the AFL would want to head down to Geelong to have a chat with their CEO or something? Figure out how it can all be... who is their CEO anyway?

 

[grassman75]

That’s Perryman. Still utterly ridiculous though.

Yet all players want to go to Geelong for 300k a year less for “the culture” and “the lifestyle”

 

[grassman75]

Why don't we just draft the 2 quickest players in the VFL and replace VDM & McNeil?

Because then instead of bagging VDM and McNeil, we will all bag Fast VFL players 1 and 2

 

[grassman75]

Improvement doesn't come from bringing in good players. It comes from making the players we already have gooder.

Betterer Scrag….didnt you mother teach you betterer English?

 

[grassman75]

I’ve stopped trying to understand the Bowes deal. Absolutely ludicrous that deal was ticked off on, and that would have been true no matter which club he chose, even if that was us. Surely we’ll never see a deal like that again

His contract was re-negotiated when he was traded, so the 1.5-1.6m over two years from the Gold Coast was “smoothed out” to 2.2m over four years at the Cats

It’s happening again with Oliver….renegotiating his contract….shouldnt be allowed to facilitate a trade. Fine once you have the player and you have to juggle the books. You want someone in contract you pay their contract.

It ****ing shits me that Geel keep getting players to play for peanuts because of their culture and lifestyle.

 

[WAbulldog]

Seems like Melbourne are going to hold Oliver to his contract again.

 

[JohnnySteel]

We must get two firsts from Geelong, especially considering they’re both likely to be late firsts.

The 'lifestyle'.

 

[Chalky White]

You need to be blocked from using the word Koops

Agree needs to be red carded.

 

[W W Biscuit]

You need to be blocked from using the word Koops

Be careful. I don't think you should use that word, even in a post warning others not to use that word.

 

[King Harold]

I would definitely take Taylor, great age and experience.
Goes alright .
He gets a game in front of Poulter, Baker, McNeil.

Has he been delisted, surely not ?
