Does he really need to? His stocks have been falling rapidly anyway.
Not gonna lie i don't watch any academy games, rely on mostly what i hear on here - i was super excited on what i was hearing but the way he has been losing value makes me think its too good to be true.

Or just skip the combine with “hamstring awareness” or something.

we save 20 goals by taking Florent out, but then added 30 back in with Roberts replacing him.

If we're serious at all we would be getting into the ear of any of the academy kids we're guaranteed to be picking up and telling them to go at 50-70% all year long. It's exactly what Geelong would be doing.
Not suggesting that we are, but we definitely should be.

Aside from Carmichael, I don't think any of our guys had great national champs, a couple of individual games where one or two stood out. King did look promising in the VFL though, aside from some wayward kicking in his first game.
It was interesting listen to SEN this morning with Kane Cornes discussing what he thought fair value for Petracca was.
Initially pick 7 he was happy with, but it became a couple of picks.
Petracca is the same age as Curnow, a Norm Smith Medallist and big game player, and also contracted.
Yet, the commentary surrounding Curnow was that if it was Sydney, they have to demand one of Heeney, Warner, Gulden and Blakey as well as a pick. Or 2 picks and a best 22 player.
My thought is that a player of Petracca's ilk and proven big game ability is worth more than Curnow.

No they weren't!
Most of them were when he was jogging unopposed at around 60-70m out from goal, clear space ahead of him and with a forward on the lead.So many times this season he was under little to no pressure when executing those kicks and they still managed to find the grass within 10m of the ball being kicked.

Longmuir meeting with Jai Serong, guess he's going to play with Caleb.
He’s a diehard cats fan, asked who he’d go for in a granny between swans and cats he said cats.
Looks like a good player though.

I'm sure they'll have a farm ready for him in a few years
I can't help but throw the Haywood/Curnow story into the Yearly Trade Talk Ballyhoo Bucket.
Some reporter throws a hypothetical at unsuspecting player, then reported as if player initiated topic.
Too many reporters with task of having to say something so, report drivel.
Then punters think if it's print it must be true and, lose their minds.
It's an entertaining time of year.

Jai Serong, but he's also talking to Fremantle and North Melbourne

True, but if we end up trading for Oliver then we could offer up a Rowbottom or JMac without leaving a hole in the list.
Theyre probably considering both scenarios.
I just hope the Carlton trade involves Florent. Would much prefer that to losing Hayward.
For arguments sake, if we lose Hayward, who realistically takes his role?
If we still had Parker on the list he'd be a reasonable replacement for Hayward.
Is that recent we talked to him?
Well that's what I meant with getting Petracca, it would mean that any lost mid might not be noticed, at least as much. Same with other players.
You're right re: Hayward, putting Heeney or Mills forward would just hurt us elsewhere, especially if the aim is to boost midfield by having both Heeney and Petracca there a fair bit.
Age is a factor, I don't think you can say that a guy who'll be 33 is a replacement for a guy who'll be 27. There's 6 years that he won't be, and possibly starting very soon. Parker isn't/wasn't the equivalent up the ground either.

Problem is the injury that Petracca had lowered his value, plus his contract is significantly more than Curnows.
There is also the key position forward tax
Is there any part of list management Geelong haven't tampered with?
Seems like the type of team that would get a consultancy firm in to figure out every potential way of rorting the system. And then implement it to the letter.
