Where did you see this?What's the deal with Ollie Henry being told to look elsewhere?
Sorry should have mentioned, it's a rumour.Where did you see this?
Well, hope they get reamed in any trade as was their MO when they chased him to move down the highway.What's the deal with Ollie Henry being told to look elsewhere? Noting I'm weary of any player with talent that Geelong actually discards.... he may have killed someone, because they usually throw their arms around their own
I was agreeing with your response, hence copying you in. I guess it read the other way round. My bad.Read the post that I responded to.
I don't disagree with the rest of your post.

I get that mate but I feel that's actually acting against our interests longer term.Doing that would be more about sending a message to player managers and other teams, that we won't be bullied.
You take a loss on this while making sure that no one else tries any other shenanigans in future.
Game theory is a well established cornerstone of negotiation. You never ever ever cede sans compensation - the buyer never ever ever gets to set the clearing price.I get that mate but I feel that's actually acting against our interests longer term.
Nobody, especially player agents, is going to respond "well they sure showed us".. they'll just nudge their players to other suitors IMO.
Dean. These positions have and are being filled by the draft, reckon there is no need to recruit again for this position.Really hoping we get strongly linked to a good kdp and a good hbf soon

Young. Needs to be said.Mate weitering needs help now not in 3 to 4 years
Been on the list for 4 seasons now safe to say that combo dosnt workYoung. Needs to be said.
I think it will be Young for a lot of the year with Haynes if he's needed to come off the wing. Dean will not be a long term prospect, will play next year. We have a lot more pressing issues so unless they are coming cheap, I can't see us going for defenders. Desperately need to address onball, wing and forward line issues well before defender issues.Mate weitering needs help now not in 3 to 4 years
I think the problem we have now is it's that we hung on to a lot of those players for far too long, as a lot of those were often on the sidelines anyway. I can't see any players there who would have made us better. Some people may point to Kennedy, but I'd say we are ahead with that trade, picking up HOF with the pick we traded him for.Here is a list of experience / depth players going out and coming in over the past 2 years.
You could easily raise an argument that for a team challenging, we got it wrong. I’m not totally behind that mindset but understand it.

The players we cut would have brought us no closer to the ultimate success and just would have meant we missed out on some better long-term prospects.So we failed in our list management. We thought the older/senior players were going to carry us through, but they didn't or couldn't. We cut too deep.
Jordan butts and jai serong wouldn't cost the world, also jayden laverde as a free agentI think it will be Young for a lot of the year with Haynes if he's needed to come off the wing. Dean will not be a long term prospect, will play next year. We have a lot more pressing issues so unless they are coming cheap, I can't see us going for defenders. Desperately need to address onball, wing and forward line issues well before defender issues.
I don't think we will have the resources for a defender after we have addressed our majour needs. Maybe a train on player or someone who is on the verge of retirement.
Wonder what he would be worth. Couldn't see him going for anything more then a pick in the 40sJaxon Binns has emerged as a trade target for clubs

Dean will play 10-12 games next year. So, we need someone who'll slot in to the KPD position in the games where he isn't playing.Dean. These positions have and are being filled by the draft, reckon there is no need to recruit again for this position.
If Geel are telling are player to look elsewhere, steer clear.I say we go for it.
I know the last 7 trades with Geelong have tanked, but I really have a feeling about this one.
