With Charlie Cameron and Wayne Milera Adelaide don't really need another small forward. I could see all four of them heading to Queensland

Given the knock on Boomer has been his defensive work and that's Brisbane's glaring weakness currently, I don't think Harvey would be the best get. I like the idea of Brisbane recruiting players, but only those that put in the work defensively.

Because the cats being the good people they are didn't want him to have to wait another couple of weeks for the window to open.
Personally think boomer will be a 1 club player BUT if he decided to go around for another year or two with the Hawks I reckon he'd do so with the blessing and support of all the NMFC faithful...... In fact I'd even go so far to say theyd be my second team and I'd even want to see them win for boomer. I think west coast could be the other possibility to later join the coaching panel with simmo and rawlings.....but most likely he calls it quits and I think the roo fans would go even more ballastic if NMFC didnt have him in a coaching/development role.

Would probably solve the "let's pass it every time we take a mark inside 50" dilemma the Cats seem to have at the moment.

Geelong definitely traded Johnson so that he could get to the Giants without having to wait the extra few weeks. Just as they'd done for Chapman, Podsiadly and Hunt in previous years.
They received a 5th round pick in the trade so compensation wouldn't have been a factor.

Wouldn't want him at Essendon for a variety of reasons, but he's certainly good enough to be picked up for a year or two by a club that believes it can push for a flag.
He doesn't owe us anything, I'd be glad to watch him go around again anywhere he chooses if that's his decision. BUT if he does, I'd like to see him win a flag and if he thinks he can at the bulldogs then good on him, and good luck to the dogs, I'd certainly cheer him and the team on in every game except vs the Roos.

I'd love him at the Tigers. But I guess he will think his way through the offers and can go wherever he wants now.
A club in their flag window could offer him a player role on a cheaper contract that transitions into a coaching role (if he wants to coach). GWS fits the bill for me.

Geelong seem to be good in this regard.
On Harvey I'd offer him a two year deal to get him across. Hasn't shown signs of slowing down yet and when he does he can always spend more time in the forward 50.

If I was GC, I'd be on the phone to the AFL telling them Harvey has to end up at the Suns and they need to use every trick in the book to get him there.
Brisbane could do well with Petrie for a year as well.

only to facilitate a quick arrival at GWS.. P86 or something like it..will not be used.
Superficially he skill set would be a good fit.. but considering we have our own issues with getting games into younger players and older players wanting to continue..not to mention that we have let several club champs go to cycle the list... cant see it happening.
But it has been reported by Gerald Healy we have made a soft enquiry..what ever that means.
Would have to be the oldest recruit ever if he changes clubs.

Nah it wasn't Geelong received a pick that they won't use. It was so he could go to his club quicker. They did the same with Chappy
Geelong would be the most seamless transition for him. He'd still be in the blue and white, and have a coach that looks like Brad Scott.
