Yep lol. Should we make it easy for the Crows and offer a future second now?

With the midfield we’re going to have we won’t need a ruckman.

Should we ask Adelaide if they want to trade Matt Crouch this year before he comes as a FA next year?

Even if we have no interest in him as a player you'd like to think the club would reach out to him in some way.

So...anything happened yet? Don't the Crows need to match by now? Has to be matched by 5pm Melbourne time ... They've had three days. Given how adamant they were that they would match if they didn't get pick two what's taking so long? Maybe it's because they realise Crouch doesn't want to stay, the...

I get the feeling we, and the Cats, knew exactly where he was at, and the chances of him getting back to anything approaching his best (not good), hence the trade. Unfortunately he was worth what we got for him.

Didn’t Lethlean rule Treloar out as a trade target? What’s changed? Genuine question. Somebody posted something on a football forum. Seems to be as accurate as most of the stuff that ends up in the media. Not quite. Lethlean said it on trade radio. It is on the public record that we are not chasing...

Latest whisper on FB has us linked to Menogala from the Cats... Absolutely no sources though which is a shame. Good player that would be a good fit reckon Geelong has to lose at least a couple of handy players. Menagola, Narkle, Clark, Ratugolea, Cockatoo...all would be feeling a bit unloved at the...

Given the players that want to go to Geelong it would be interesting to see who might make way. There would probably be a few players who couldn't at a game and aren't going to be any closer in the next couple of years. Their salary cap has to be squeezed at some point too. PS I've got some bad news...

I have been upgraded to Level 1 Reserved Bay seating package. How much is that pack usually? Does that mean I get a reserve seat on level one? is that the ones behind the goal or on the wing? Also is it the same seat or an area? Does it give other benefits such as guaranteed grand final ticket. I t...

Before his operation Higgins reminded me of Gresham. Seemed to make things happen. Imagine having two of them in your side, plus Butler, at the feet of King, Membrey and Battle.

I think it's worth trying him forward again. He was always able to win plenty of the ball in that role and delivery well to other forwards but he failed before because he couldn't kick straight. In the last two years he's been an accurate kick for goal and it might be worth re-visiting him in an 80...

The worse thing about the Treloar deal is that the Pies suggested the backended deal, which he accepted to help them at the time.
Now he comes to the big dollar years and they want out.
In future, players might be asking them front ended deals to make sure they are the money.

I wonder if he’s being coy regarding Higgins?

To me it read that we have made an offer to him but he hasn’t got back to us yet.

Simon Lethlean has ruled out any interest we in Adam Treloar, stating we don't have the assets or salary cap to do a deal for him. Regarding Jack Higgins, he indicated there hasn't been an official request that Jack wants to join us at this point. He played a straight bat regarding Lonie & Carl...

If, as expected we can get Ben King to the club at some stage, what would be his best position to suit us? I personally think he would make a great key defender, that way he wouldn't be directly competing with his brother, at the same time stiffening up an area of the ground that needs more height....

Great news. I'm really looking forward to seeing him develop over the next couple of years.

It’s great in terms of equality but will never happen. TV revenue would be cut but 25% meaning that the players would have to take a pay cut, which will never happen.
I’d say it’s more likely there will be more than 22 rounds next year.

Great news. I think he'll be a long term player.

Looks like Pies have buggered that up completely. Back ended a deal and then told the player they don’t want him. Good luck with that.

He’s a recent AA and B&F winner that will factor in his value Matt was AA, not Brad. Brad's AA was Under-18 All Australian. Oops I was going to check too...🤦‍♂️ Without checking again, he did win a B&F didn’t he? If the AFL tribunal is allowed to include Ben Long’s junior level suspensions ...

What they are looking for is a ruckman for Sandy who could come in if Ryder and Marshall were both injured. If not McKernan we have to find someone else who could ruck next year but would be happy to play VFL if not required.

I can’t understand why we would overpay Crouch for the next four or five years, which would impact our salary cap and ability to resign players for the duration of the contract. If Adelaide want more than the compo pick, fine we’ll give them a sweetener in a separate trade. Webster or Dunstan for a ...

How about we leave it to the forward line coach and Ratts to decide who is best.

Next thing someone will be suggesting that AFL coaches know more than people on a football forum.
