. The money Henderson is linked to is a bout right for his size and experience. Check Frawley last year.

Are there any dog supporters who can actually shed any light on whether you guys are interested/put an offer on the table for Blicavs? i face palm every time this guy posts.
That being said, don't see Blitz leaving the cattery anytime soon.

None of the guys in the know have heard anything regarding us and Blicavs. Pretty much everyone thinks this guy is full of it. He's said a lot of unusual things in the past. I'd be absolutely stoked if the dogs could get Blicavs, but there is no evidence at all that we're even in the race.

Have to ask the question - How can this fit under the cap? - Hogan one million, Carlisle offered 600+ and Blicavs 600.

if you ask me he works well with Geelong's Structure. don't thing he would be as effective with the Doggies.

You're just making up crap mate. You've got NFI what you're talking about.
Spot on. We're over him already on our board. He's staying and we haven't had any interest in him. It's just fantasy land stuff.
am I the only one that, while rate him as an ok player, doesn't rate him as anything exceptional?
Isn't a ruckman, isnt a forward & isn't a back. I guess you can say he plays in the midfield where he averages the following
19 disposals, 4.5 marks, 0.3 goals & 6 tackles. He's ok as a 3rd man up but really, by going 3rd man up you're out of the contest. I just don't see where he fits in as an AFL footballer.

Joel Selwood - 800k per year
Patrick Dangerfield - 1.2m a year
Tom Hawkins - 800k per year
You can only fit so many players on big money.
Sorry, but you don't know anything.
It's easy to assume everyone's a great bloke who loves the club, but the reality is, if he's being offered triple the money and years in his deal, and Geelong don't make a competitive offer, then there's a big chance he's gone.
Not saying he'll go to the Bulldogs or that he won't re-sign with the Cats, but nobody here knows whether or not he'd accept another club's offer.

Nah, he isn't outstanding in any position to me.. It's impressive where he's come from no doubt and he may continue to improve but I don't see him ever being a super star.

Was trained over preseason as a tall defender
New to playing as a midfielder, averages 14 hitouts a game.
Very hard to match up on (ask pendlebury)
at the moment he is more than an 'ok' player

name a mid who also gets 14 hitouts a game
The only player in your team that averages more contested possessions a game this year is Priddis. Priddis and shuey are the only ones that average more clearances this year from west coast. Only Priddis and selwood get more tackles per game.
He is not yet able to get cheap possessions but he is very very good on the inside. and the ability to get his long arms in and effect disposal of the opposition as well.

People were saying the same thing about Tom Lonergan last off-season as well but he stayed with Geelong. Most players nowadays are pretty loyal, until they become free agents, then it depends on a range of different factors.
I think you can probably take off about $150K - $200K for Selwood + Hawkins there. We've also got McIntosh's contract coming off the books ($400K), probably 2 out of the Stevie J/Bartel/Kelly/Mackie/Stokes/Enright group won't go around next season (meaning different contracts can go on the veterans list). We also had around $600K or so freed up last off-season to have a go at James Frawley, so Salary Cap wise we're doing ok I think.
Didn't really play as a pure on-baller until round 3, and there's also been games where he's been the bonafide ruckman (when Stanley hasn't played mainly).
Probably a more important stat is 38 tackles in the last 4 weeks, becoming very valuable in that area of his game.
Context. He does play ruck, and can play forward or back, and mid. But you have to understand what sort of player he was a year ago, to the start of this year to now to see the staggering improvement.
Some of the rating of him is based on what he could be, not what he is right now, but he is close to our most effective player now. Some of these numbers are crazy though, based really on 10 or so good games.

I do. He's not going anywhere.
Ruck rover as he is now. He is ranked 12th in the competition for total SC points this year and is playing a new role. He is 24 and has only been playing footy for three years. He is easily the best runner in the competition and is 198cm and takes a reasonable mark. He is also 7th in total tackles and 16th for hit outs in the AFL. His big weakness is his kicking which is below average by AFL standards but not awful.
