With McInnes horribly doing his ACL, more likely, we could have possibly 3 players on the LTI list.
McInnes, AJ and possibly Titch, should he not have any other setbacks....
There's a possibility we could take 3 picks into the MSD!....🤔
McInnes would be the only guaranteed inactive player at this stage.

Mitchell was on the pre game last night for I want to say ABC and confirmed he’s about a month away. His latest setback is a grumbly ankle he’s been dealing with his whole career. My interpretation is also that the nature of AJ’s fracture is that he’s more a 12 week than 12 month proposition.

If we’re taking a pick in that draft I’d be looking at a tall to replace AJ beyond 2025. Unless they bring him back as a defender his latest setback is going to take him from bugger all chance of winning a new contract to zero.

Yup.
Sadly it amounts to a career ending injury for AJ, at least at Collingwood. Perhaps an interstate team will give him a go.
I reckon Reef will get one more year. He’d want to show diligence in his rehab.
We needed defensive back up before his injury, he’s no certainty.
The recruiters would already have been casting an eye around in case an MSD slot came up.
Oh. Hang on. What recruiters?

I think the nature of the MSD is to take best available. It’s not a hugely successful hunting ground, especially for KPP. Just my opinion because I reckon if we do open up a spot there might be a few melts on who we take

Jay Clark just reported that North is offering Bruz $6m for 6 years.
If that’s true, then firstly, North are insane, and secondly, Maynard should take it.
 
It doesn't directly. Those players see what Perryman and Houston are receiving and then look for their own pay day. Here's a little reminder for old mate Ugene41 that I haven't forgotten our discussion from the last trade period.



Lo and behold not even 6 months on we have articles on consecutive days referencing 2 of the players discussed last year angling for pay increases. The issue with throwing obscene money at role players like Perryman is that better quality role players are going to use that as leverage in their next contract talks.

Spare me the whole "$800-900k is the new $650-750k" because Perryman was never a $650-750k player under the old CBA!
I hope you remember this conversation in another 6 months time when inevitably we end up losing no one important on the list that we really want to keep.

I did state in my original comment that Maynard and Hill were the only players in their prime years that are coming out of contract soon. Whether Perryman got his contract or not, in his FA year inevitably there would be manager PR noise around Maynard's contract just as there was with JDG, Moore and Grundy.

I can't see him leaving and if he does, swapping Maynard for a two year younger Perryman and a first rounder is an outcome where we come out ahead.

With Cameron, as I said, he'll be 30+ so his contract isn't going to be anything make or break. He would've deservedly been due for an increase on his original bargain basement contract just based on his performance in the last two years. If someone wants to stupidly pay him $1m though then that's great for us as we can trade him for a first round pick and get another cheap serviceable ruckman that generally goes for cheap (ie Cameron first time round, Meek, Witts).

Nothing has changed the fact that getting Perryman through FA was a good move.
 
Shocked we payed Perryman near on $900k to start on the bench. Seems like min wage Long is ahead of him as a mid. I don't mind him as a player, my issue is with the club if that's how he's utilized. Last week tagging role, zero impact, this week spent the first 11 mins on the pine and came on to play min wage Mcinnes role, again having little to no impact. I don't know how anyone thinks that's a sound use of $900k

This is what Geelong does.
The players get a lot more autonomy, do their own vision sourcing, set more of their own hours, Scott lets them have more self determination.
I think it works because the only other thing to do in Geelong is hang out at Jezzas farm.

Have also been told by a club official that they expect to find nothing untoward in Geelongs salary cap investigations.

It’s an audit, not an investigation. This is an important distinction.

Firstly let’s not fall for media clickbait and consistently quote the highest figure that’s been speculated. Even the compensation pick isn’t a dead giveaway because it’s a secret spice AFL formula. So let’s go with 800-900k to be fair. And let’s also not compare to contracts under the previous salary agreements because they go up in increments. Just like everyone complained about McStay coming on 650k at the time has been made to look silly now. That’s just called inflation. You used to pay $3 for your flat white in 2019 and now you pay $5.25.

Now on Perryman I highly doubt Ned Long would have been able to save our arse by going back as a defender when we lost a tall to injury. In fact is straight up wouldn’t have happened. Perryman has versatility, and good decision making. He was also our best player against the Giants so let’s not have a 1w memory when judging him.

I kinda trust Pendles’ judgement and he had high wraps and I’m liking what I’m seeing so far.
 
We really need to get 2 key/ big defenders into the squad post 2025.

Howe, Frampton, Dean & Reef might not play another 60 games combined. They might not even be our list next year.

I was very keen on getting another midfielder, but with Long & Allan stepping up - I think it can be a 2026 problem.

Toby Murray from the Crows.
Leek Aleer from the Giants.

I think they’ll be happy keeping him and offloading JUH.

Possibly and IF he is Cheap Enough might be worth having a Go at Him
 
If we did happen to lose Maynard maybe we should go after Bodie Ryan, cousin of Jakob Ryan. Similar players but Bodie seems to be a more one on one defender than an accumulator/rebounder and seems to have that Maynard dogg in him.

 
The guy I would look to nab is Max Ramsden from Hawthorn. He was a mid season pick. A forward/ruckman. I think he has a lot of potential.
