Player management 101. Let it be know that your player had a meeting with the hoover of top end talent at Geelong.

That'll light the fire under the arse of any recalcitrant list-manager or club and quickly bring them to heal.

.... And being the Suns the AFL may suddenly find some money as an "ambassador" payment outside of the cap.

Suns will throw silly money at Rowell, he won't leave.
It’s Bevo’s cunning plan.

Get them to throw silly money at their top handful of players. Then we offer to help with their resulting salary cap problems by taking a good up-and-comer off their hands. And pick #6 in the draft to seal the deal.

Naah, I guess that would never work …

I actually hope thats how it pans out if necessary.

I despise the idea that the AFL goes even further down the road of the haves and the feeder clubs that exist for no other reason. If that means that the AFL need to artificially prop up its expansion clubs in Old and NSW than so be it.
 
Would be a disaster for them to lose Rowell. They’ll pay him 1.5m and he’ll stay. He’s a superstar when fit.

Thought it was pretty silly moving him out of the inside mid role after the bye last year.
They weren't making finals and I'm sure they did it to try add some outside stuff to his game.

I just hope Geelong put all eggs in the Rowell basket and leave us a clearer run for a monster offer to Butters
 
I can’t see Butters leaving Port. Him, JHF and Rozee could basically write their own cheques.

Callaghan is the one I reckon. I reckon he’s a Bontempelli clone.
Bit odd he can't crack the inside mid rotation at GWS yet, they haven't exactly got a lot of depth in that area.
 
When do the dogs land a really high profile in their prime. Tom Boyd was the biggest one not in his prime but could have been a star. Treloar been good fell in our lap. We get an early mention in quite a few high profile players but never comes to anything.

Not always bad because would take up a lot of the cap but it would be nice to snare one occasionally seems like they always fall to higher profile Vic clubs.
I don't think he'll leave Gold Coast but I also don't think the sort of person to only want to play for big clubs. I might be completely wrong but to me, he seems like the sort that's just focused on his footy and not all of the attention that comes around it
 
Yeah it's problematic. I don't see it with him. Maybe a change of scenery might break him out but atm he's not doing anything to look like he's going to be anything but average.

I think that's a little disingenuous. He's a 21 year old that's been played on the wing early in his career but has slowly begun transition into the midfield.

2023 averages compared to 2024.

Tackles - 2.00 > 3.58
Clearances - 1.38 > 3.42
Contested Possessions - 4.81 > 7.88

He's been often played as a pure outside player but he's nearly doubled each of key midfielder metrics in one season

I hope so, pisses me off that Geelong do a rebuild on other clubs hard work. Lazy development.
