Christian is a seriously good basketballer. I believe he is turning his attention to footy now but if he plays footy like he plays basketball he'll make it at AFL level I'd imagine.
Josh Smillie will also be a player, targeted AFL from a long way out.
I'm hoping Geelong cotton wools 14 for a year.
That leaves numbers 4, 12, 19, 21, 31, 36, 40 & 41 vacated this year to assign. I seem to remember Geelong giving the lowest available number to the first draft pick and then the next lowest to the next drafted and so on but I'm not too sure...
I kinda feel like we have become a bit more smug as the years have rolled on and the double GF/Trade win this year has emboldened us further.
But I also feel it is due to the amount of sh!t we have copped over the journey so, maybe, the Geelong supporter base has decided to just embrace it and...
Tom Mitchell 30 in May next year.
Collingwood clearing following Geelong's pioneering ways bringing in mature players.
That's it, I'm done.
Good work Cats, mission accomplished.
:p
A few people were raising this earlier...why does a 20 year old want out of a "Big 4" club 2 years after being drafted.
Don't normally go in for scuttlebutt (nor do I have any about this) but there seems to be more to Henry's request than just getting home which, as Wright himself said, "is...
It was.
Be nice if opposition supporters understood it was an offer open to ALL clubs and Bowes had to choose a club to go to.
Questions should be asked of GC about how they managed to get themselves into a situation where they had to ship out a pretty good player coupled with a high draft...
Grundy is 28, is owed (approx.) a million a year for the next 5 years, has a recent history of breaking down and Collingwood are paying $300k for suitors to take him off their hands.
Henry is 20, went in the first round two years ago, has shown a bit in his time with the club and still has that...
:D
When I saw his name pop up a few days back and read his title I thought the same thing. Although, I don't think the Collingwood list got into the state it was on his watch, he just had to deal with it.
May be wrong but that was my memory of it.
Probably best remembered for not really being...
Agree with that and I'm confident they'll get done...probably in ways we never considered.
There is a part of me that wants the AFL to sign off on us trading both the future 1st and 2nd.
Be good for more outrage around here. :D
Fair call but the concern I have is every club knows why we're hunting a Future 2nd Rounder so, you'd think, there may be some element of self interest for the other clubs in (possibly) not helping the current Premier gain more advantages.
I wonder if Ratugolea would also consider, say, St...
Think broader I reckon.
Ratugolea, reportedly, wants to get Port
Junior Rioli wants to get to Port
Geelong wants a FR2 for the Bowes + 7 deal
Geelong sends Ratugolea to Port & Pick 38 to West Coast
West Coast send Rioli to Port & a FR2 to Geelong
Port sends pick 33 to West Coast & Pick 48...
I doubt zones will come back into vogue. They might work if the competition was solely Victorian but the benefits the WA and SA sides would likely get from that sort of model would cause yet another uproar.
The Northern Academies are, sort of, a zone system for Brisbane, Gold Coast, GWS and...
Hmmm, Taylor Adams selected by GWS at pick 13 in the 2011 Draft. 2 years later he lobs at Collingwood (basically in exchange for Heath Shaw...but iirc there was some ill will between Shaw and Collingwood at the time).
Carlton grabbed Setterfield after 1 or 2 years, Marchbank & Kennedy after a...
Depends on what GC want for the Bowes + 7 deal and it also depends on your own school of thought.
If you think, regardless of the salary dump ramifications, there has to be something decent on offer for a former Top 10 selection and, more critically, pick 7 then it could be tricky for Brisbane...
