They probably do just that. Trade was never going down before Wednesday either way

No where near enough, would need to be 1 or 2 players that were top 10-15 players on the Cats list, not ones that struggle to be selected. For me the only players at Geelong who meet our needs and fit in this category are Ollie Dempsey & Gryan Miers.. and i can understand why Mackie doesn't want to let either go.
Its looking increasingly like Charlie will be walking back into Princes Park with his tail between his legs and have to apologies to his teammates and then realise he is a professional being paid in the top 10% in the comp and get to work.

I think the bigger thing is that you always smashed our contested ball winners, that drew our numbers into the contest while leaving your uncontested guys in space. Well be a little better there next year but you'll be no worse

AFL want the drama of a deadline day and will hold off the Merrett & Curnow trades so they go right down to the line all for theatrical reasons.

Geelong should trade Neale if they are serious about going one better in 2026. These are the types of tough calls that win Premierships. Neale just doesn't have the footy smarts to be an A grader. Opportunities to get players like Curnow are rare.

Charles gone off to inspect the Sydney facilities according to Morris...
Could have sworn all the Geelong nuffs were telling us he only wants to go to Geelong and has privately nominated them?

Sydney's equivalent to Ollie Dempsey or Gryan Miers is a Nick Blakey level of player, why are you not demanding him in a trade?
Do you think Ollie Florent is worth as much in a trade as Dempsey (rising star winner, 35 goals this year, 22 years old) or Miers (widely regarded as one of the best forward half players in the comp, broke goal assist record two seasons ago, rated elite in many categories)?

Sydneys picks are better so this is a meaningless comparison.

So picks are more important than players, then?
Because it seems that 11, F1 and Florent will be the offer coming from the Swans. Two picks admittedly better than ours, and an effective salary dump of a player who wasn't in their best team all year...

I see your point however trading players who want to be at the club has a knock on effect with culture and morale.
Its accepted in american sports though.
Front loaded contract. Absolute bullshit article....

Rowbottom's manager has categorically said he's staying.
Multiple journos reporting over the past 24 hours that Hayward is reluctant to be part of a trade.
Fox Footy's proposed deal even has what I just put forward, plus a worthless F3....

Right... So some clown who works for FOX Footy who's there to generate clicks is now the arbiter on what Carlton will offer?
Blues would laugh at that offer same as they did for Geelong's piss weak package they tabled last week.

Don't shoot the messenger. I am just relaying what is being reported.
What player/s are you expecting aside from Florent, then?

None of us know for sure, certainly won't be a salary dump in Florent as the key piece of it.
Not that much better than what we offered, really

But Carlton have to suffer through having Florent/Hayward types taking up list spots and salary cap space.

Did Hayward magically become a spud overnight somehow?

Reckon Geelong's offer is better than that. Granted the picks should be later, but still.

Both are AFL-quality players that would add a lot to the Carlton team. Florent provides run and distribution off HB and Hayward is one of the best mid-sized forwards in the AFL. Can do work on the ground and is good on the lead and/or when marking overheard for his size. Beautiful kick as well.
