Free Agency Luke Dahlhaus [joins Geelong as an Unrestricted Free Agent]

[cecil]

So he said sign me up? Im not going anywhere?

“the club is like my family now. I’ve been here eight years and I love it so much, so this is where I want to finish and play for the rest of my days.”

That was two weeks ago. It's being negotiated now and apparently the sticking point is we want a shorter deal and his manager wants more years. I'd say we're offering 3 and manager wants 5. Will end up a 3 or 4 year deal on reasonable but not huge money.

Well hopefully it works out for your team and you offer years and money he deems correct

That's good enough for me. He's staying.

Don't get me wrong, he still could go, he's not signed. But he definitely didn't give the usual spiel players do when they leave

Gee if he left after saying that I'd be gutted... As much as I'd love him to go to Geelong, I think he stay at the Dogs ( my 2nd favourite side )

I don't think it's really news, of course Geelong would be after him. Local boy, related to Danger, out of contract, good age.

The article itself even mentions the quote I listed above though. It's a puff piece.

 

[kreglze]

Geelong should really have their eyes on a decent ruckman.

Dahlhaus can ruck...

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

We can give them Leuenberger

 

[Burtman]

Dahlhaus can ruck...

Couldn’t be any worse than Stanley or smith

 

[Burtman]

Wouldn’t be against the hawks having a crack. We desperately need some midfield talent, would probably start in the guts for us most weeks. Dunno what he’d be worth contract wise.

 

[McCraeBF]

Geelong pay him 700k and we get picks 7 and 8

 

[DivideandMultiply]

If Gaff decides to leave, WC need to match and target either Dahlhaus or DeGoey.

 

[newblueo]

what type of player is he atm.
outside the top 5 contested ball winners at the dogs. and is handball crazy.

alot to pay for a link up man

 

[Wojcinski]

Would love him at the Cats. Seems to want to stay at the Dogs though, I remember there being rumours of some back and forth between the clubs last year but nothing eventuated.

I think they will but one can not avoid having to multitask

No where near it. To get R1 pick now it has to be 1M+

Geelong should really have their eyes on a decent ruckman.

Not to mention some decent midfielders.

The way Tommy Mitchell destroyed Danger,Selwood and Ablett on Easter Monday was just cruel.

Watch the first half of the Eagles game. Ratugolea was competing very well with NicNat the coach said today they see him as a ruckman. He just needs to build a tank.

Always have time for a fellow Association Football Board contributor

Fair enough, I haven't watched much Geelong this season. I only was caught by the images of Dangerfield rucking, and knowing the fact that Zac Smith is a soft mega spud after his time with the Suns. If Ratugolea was able to compete with Nic Nat, then you may have someone on your hands.

Exactly.

That’s why I stated a fact.

Sav comprehensively beat NicNat in the first quarter of that West Coast game. Unfortunately doesn't have the tank at the moment. Will be our #1 ruckman in two or three years.
