We look to have lost out on Caddy now time to play Hard Ball with the Cats over HMAC no point making them even stronger when we are in direct competition for a top 8 spot with them. Demand there first rounder as a minimum and see what happens from there. They must pay overs to get a deal done.

Totally agree, but are they even that smart to take that into account ?

Of course they are. But they are responsible for developing a list that can win a flag, not for winning measuring contests on Bigfooty.
 
Are McDonald and Scott aware that there are clubs named Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney that are going to be fielding sides in 2016?

If Caddy goes for the extra money then so be it.

All I know is that Moloney & Stevens had better turn out to be complete duds.

If we come away from the trade table with nothing, and then assist another club by giving the Hamish for a song, then our footy department are a joke.

Geelong must part with 15 or Hamish stays. I could handle parting with him if it assisted Caddy to North or some other quality trade, but not if it only serves to empower a club we will be in direct competition with for a spot in the top 8. That is just ******* ludicrous.

I don't think we can be sure of Caddy's motives. It could be he's just trying not to screw GC over by giving them options to get the best deal done.

Moloney could be handy for 12 months. He's been poor - average for a while now so I wouldn't be expecting too much.

Stevens is the unknown quantity I guess. You wouldn't part with 14 to get him. If a pick in the 30's got it done then why not?

I agree with your view on the McIntosh trade. Outwardly it seems they want him badly. If that's the case they must deleiver a trade that is beneficial to us. If trading him for 36 landed Caddy then yep, I'd be all over it. Otherwise I'd be demanding their pick 15 with some swapping of later picks to get it done.

With regards to Pederson, to be quite honest pick 40ish is about what he is worth. Mind you I'd rather have keep him.

Nowhere at present.

I haven't torn up my membership yet.

However, if we come out of this period with nothing more than picks 14, 35, 36, 40 and 54, then I will consider it an abject failure, and I will start to give serious consideration to Ron Josephs claim of a boys club running the place.

We don't have another 3 years to see if yet another bunch of kids are going to make the grade.

We have future superpowers looming on the horizon and we have to make our move NOW!

Help! Someone, quick! I find myself agreeing with Teffy more and more!
 
that is a point of view

Alternatively all the (not so) youngsters in the 18-23 age group could improve 10%
and the team plays all year like they did for 10 or 12 weeks

The squad looks pretty good on paper
i cant see how moloney or stevens will make a big difference
leave scott alone
if we choke next yr hang him then

so far so good
we are on the up

realistically tho
how likely is HMac to be injury free
or as good as he sometimes was
this bloke has missed aLot of footy now

It's not as if it's got anything to do with some sort of outrageous left field thinking.

If that comment isn't totally obvious to any reader then they officially have no understanding of football in the modern era.

And if we nail all four picks in the top 40?

Hysterics.

How often do you see a recruiter nail every draft pick they have in a draft? doesnt happen very often no doubt it is great if we did but it still sets us back another couple of years while we wait for those 4 kids to develop.

As I said earlier if he isn't 100% committed to picking us. I don't want him playing for us.


It seems young caddy is just chasing the money.

It is more so the fact that at present we are jumping at shadows where shadows are media speculation. Whether we get him or not, it is a long bow to draw to say Caddy is chasing the buck because the deal hasn't been inked 2 days into a 3 week trade period.
 
ok,we were going about this all wrong,we should take the hawthorn style of identifying the hole in the list,target a player to fill that hole,and go out and get him,now someone correct me if i am wrong, but was brian lake contracted for this and next year at least ? hawks just went and talked to him,said come and play with us for finals and grand finals,and take a pay cut while you are at it,asked bulldogs for their pick 27,and coughed up picks 21 and 41,deal done,
here is my proposal,obviously we have identified a ? class midfielder as a hole in our list hence the chase for caddy,in my opinion caddy is skim milk,the cream is DAVID SWALLOW,we get our captain to have a chat with his bro about joining a club to play finals and whose premiership window is just about open,and as a bonus,play with his brother,then we offer gold coast our pick 14 plus any other picks or pick upgrades or fringe players and get the fricken deal done ;)

Haven't read through the thread properly, but where's all the confirmation of him going to Geelong coming from?

There isn't

There is an article saying that the trade looks likely.

Yeah just as Tippet was likely to GC or Brisbane and Mitchell went to Melbourne when all the media said he was signed sealed and delivered to Freo.

I'm not saying we will get Caddy but its not over until its lodged and while Geelong maybe close they need to give up a fair bit to a promising player and nut an established player. Will Geelong blink?

I am more than happy with the Roos stick to their guns and don't get sucked into a bidding war as it will not end well.

If Geelong are prepared to give up two first rounders for him then good luck to them.

My opinion is he is worth a mid to late first rounder at best and anything better is overs.

The sky hasn't fallen for me yet as there's still two weeks to go, but the people down there are sniffing glue if they think I am going to support yet another season of going through the same thing all over again.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in thinking this.

In fact, I'm certain.
