Can't remember the exact offer but we opted to not trade Brander, who Geelong were very interested in and the end deal was an extra first I think over the 2018 offer. Couldn't offer what we didn't have although it was reported that we stumped up for the initial demands but Wells increased what...

? Wells refused to trade him, as was his right.

Read my later post.

They wouldn't be able to afford his contract. Think it's something like 1.1mil next season.

Any idea where Cocktatoo/Constable may end up? I recall we wanted Cocktatoo in his draft year but ended up with Duggan from memory. Not complaining about how that worked out so far but Cockatoo's certainly been unlucky with injuries. He's a talent when on.

The way we use our rookie list is pretty infuriating, yo won't get any argument from WCE supporters about that. It wasn't until 2017 that TK really started to blossom as a player. Didn't really take it as seriously before that. Trained with us in 2017 and we'd apparently been...

Believe he trained with us and supporters wanted us to rookie him but they decided not to that year. Went pick 7 to Sydney in the following ND. And then we rookie a bunch of cast-off spuds from other clubs whom we wanted pre-draft such as Kane Lucas, who end up doing nothing. Would be nice to...

But you only gave dkalphy a day off. Are these bans compounding? ;)

Time will tell. 18 year old talls vs a mature aged midfielder in his mid-20s. It's probably less that we got our ratings wrong but more that the recruitment team probably didn't expect to rate him so highly. Mind you, I thought we'd have learnt after Jetta but apparently not...

Well, the fact we took Ainsworth over Worpel (Rawlings wanted Worpel FYI but was overruled) would seem to be yes. We've always been very good at identifying talls but suck at drafting mids without high picks, something Wells is good at: see Duncan, Menegola, etc.

Lol, this was literally the calibre of posting on our board: "Three firsts MINIMUM, Wells is going to bend you over!!! hahahah!!!" Let's not pretend supporters of ANY club are MENSA members.

We all know Geelong was never going to trade as he was under contract. Rawlings even mentioned that Geelong's demands changed a number of times. Don't know why they just didn't say they were contending and didn't want to trade an A grade mid but I guess, at the time, they backed themselves in...

We always rated him, we just didn't expect Oscar Allen to still be available at 21, whom we would've taken at the pick we used on Brander because we rated Brander higher at the time, who we thought would be gone when we took him. This is why why we missed out on Kelly because we weren't...

Gee whiz, we had a flood of Geelong supporters last year in our Kelly thread and kept it open. Have some testicular fortitude lad!

No really, a trade will be done, it's up to the clubs to determine what's fair compo. Geelong will slightly overpay if need be because, as we all know, it's a terrible look to do everything you can to get a player and then pull out last minute because you don't want to pay the asking price...

You know they just had a mass exodus of players they weren't expecting to leave, right? They'd have a tonne of free cap-space right now, hence the matching. Doubt they match if those players signed new contracts.
