Not sure who's taking the piss here, clearly you didn't watch Friday night.

Motlop is a free agent think he's a better player than Poppy and a lot younger if GWS were interested think he would be a better pick up then Poppy as he can play mid/fwd

He's a RFA. Meaning Geelong can just match. Don't think GWS will be looking at him. He'd want too much salary.

Why stop there ??? How about Jackson Merrett for Bontempelli ?? His brother has shown how good he could be, right ???

You really reckon that's over doing it?

To me Crammers holds no value at all given his contract status and place in their pecking order so he's just a throw in to get him somewhere if we express more than passing interest.

It's basically Webb for 47 which I don't think is unreasonable at all given last year they traded Hrovat for less than that and both are/were not playing senior footy.

Crameri is best 22 and offers plenty. Has just been injured all year. Saying he has no value is off the mark. About to turn 29, so certainly not past it. Would he want to go back to Essendon though after he was forced to miss a year of footy ?? Webb certainly has potential, pick 47 might be around the mark, maybe slightly unders considering this year's apparent draft depth, but I think there might be a few interested parties trying to pick him up.

The problem is that GWS have pick #27 and then pick #67.

I think #67 is pretty much bang on the money

So it will be hard for them to overpay.

Which is why I suggested

Poppy and #33 for #27. That values Poppy at pick #61 which is slightly overpaying?

Yeah something along those lines would be pretty fair, think the hawks would do it if that pick 27 was going to be used for something else as a need for us.

I will say I think teams in their window need to overpay slightly for the missing pieces, thought crows should have given the 2 picks for Gibbs they would be looking pretty good right now. It might have made it easier for a certain back man to sign on for another few years

Geelong don't have a 1st round pick. Traded it for Tuohy. Geelong are tall enough I'd say.

Shit. Who wants an AA ruckman? Serious bids only.

Dogs??

Former AA ruckmen who is not up to his best. Would still get a 1st just not from Geelong. WB might be interested if they miss out on Lever.

We have had our go at old broken down north ruckmen once before, not going there twice.

 

[HairyO]

Motlop is gifted but lazy. There is a reason Geelong are desperate for him to go.

The question is which team wants him.

Poppy can play fwd, mid and defence, BTW.

Forgot about that one. Forgot about that.

At least he stays on the pitch which is something Geelong have struggled ruck wise in recent years (simpson, vardy, mcintosh, clarke, stanley).

Just wondering how it would have made it easier for a certain back man to sign on?

Think you'd just about be outright favourite for the flag right now adding Gibbs to your midfield. the way he has been playing Slone wouldn't be getting the same attention also.
Now I did say might as in it would be easier to stick around if your a little home sick if you thought the club was doing everything it can to be winning one while the window is open.
If he's chasing coin only it would make a difference

 

[Foucault1989]

Goldstein for Geelongs first round pick.

Hahaha. Goldstein is sinking every week. Would struggle to attract any interest let alone a first or second round pick

 

[Foucault1989]

No, that's being a realist. You can't get a contracted player to up and leave their without paying a little over.

I'm sure if Hawthorn want something unreasonable for poppy....anything under a pick 40...GWS wouldn't loose any sleep and move on. Let's be honest...poppy is a solid soldier but not the difference.

Last time I checked Sportsbet we were out right favourite for the flag. He wouldn't of made a huge difference, he has to replace a player in our team and let's say Mackay because he seems like the crows punching bag. It's not as if Mackay doesn't do anything so We just don't get all of Gibbs possessions. Not worth giving 2 first rounders for a 28/29 year old

 

[Mitchell54]

I think if the Bulldogs wanted Goldy then the Dogs 2nd would be around the mark. Can't see them trading or downgrading their 1st pick if it is in the top 10.

While I do agree to an extent, he is not going to get a first rd etc.
A team in the window can't just move on from a player they see as a important price to a premiership unless what is being asked is so far removed for the actual worth.

A fit poppy working hard to lock the ball in the forward 50 would be huge for them. Pick up grade or a part of another trade possibly.

Hawk supporters were told on this site how we over paid for burger, hale etc, wouldn't change a thing even had we only won one

Agree. No Way is Gibbs worth 2x 1st rounders. Worth Adelaide's 2017 1st & 2nd imo. Say thats Pick 17 & 35.Using the points system that = Pick 8.

Wow, big call, glad we gave 2 away for burger years ago he was about that age with stuffed knees.
If you think he wouldn't of made a difference I guess you should win it pretty easy. Kinda hope you do with everyone you've lost over the years your club has done well to be back there.
Just think it's a move that would have seriously helped this year with how close everything is but best of luck

Not saying we will win, I actually think we won't make the gf but Gibbs won't be the reason.
