Recommitted Matt Rowell [re-signed for 2 years]

[RonnieRaven]

Cats didn’t mind AFL bringing in a salary cap to stop the money and power.
Evened up the competition so cats could break a 40+ year premiership drought

We live in a capitalist country remember?
Money, power ect ect

And North, and the swans, and Richmond, and Melbourne, and the saints.. oh wait
And west coast win their first, and crows win their first, and Brisbane win their first, and port win their first, and Freo win their.. oh nupe

Since the introduction of salary cap, Geelong have played in and lost 4 GFs, only breaking the drought 20 years after salary cap came in.

They didn’t police salary caps properly until 2001.
When bombers had to disband their 2000 team and blues copped their whack for their dealings in the late 90s

issue is what that role would be.

flanders, anderson and miller can all play elsewhere to varying degrees of success. rowell doesnt have anymore strings to his bow.

I think he can add more strings. According to Dimma today he will play short stints forward. Let’s see.

 

[Mofra]

I really hope he stays. AFL in Queensland need to have the Suns appear in September and their fans have stuck with them for quite a while now without reward.

While I sort of agree with your perspective, it is also important to remember that Geelong need feeder clubs

 

[Rich01]

Kinda agree. But he’s 23 and sounds like he doesn’t want to piss away his career at a club that won’t contend in his time.

It really is up to the club to show something this year. If they improve and make finals, and Dimma can imprint some sort of game style that he can see has a chance for them to contend in the future, there’s no reason for him to sign again.

While I’m backing Dimma more than anyone to get it done, I can understand why Matt is looking at other options after what the club has shown him to date.

Struggling to see the correlation here Ronald.
The AFL's crackdown on caps isn't the reason the Lions threepeated.

I was replying to a Geelong fan promoting money and power
Big dogging it.
So I provided some information for him to think about.
I didn’t mention lions

 

[The Unforgiven]

It'd be pretty bad for footy if Rowell left GC for Geelong

Perhaps. But, as Geelong supporter first, and a footy supporter second, I endorse this move.

[The Nostradamus]

“I think so”
Better than I’m not sure or will decide later

But also not a locked in commitment

I reckon it’s one similar to LDU where if the team doesn’t improve they go but if team improves they stay

New rival revealed in race for bullocking midfielder

A host of Victorians are beginning to line-up for the 23-year-old.

Dogs might be thinking to swap Ugle-Hagan for Rowell ?

I think GC is pretty sorted for KPFs, with Andrew, Walter and King.

Would be many buyers for JUH who would have the picks required to grab Rowell though

We'll be able to trade 3 first round picks at the end of the season, we're keen on Rowell and Butters, I wonder if 3 picks + Jamarra is enough to land both.

Probably depends where you end up on the ladder, and what JUHs situation is. Those future 1st rounders wont be worth that much anyway.
Itll be close

gold caoast are a unique club they dont need picks as they got enough of them coming out of their ass. they want good ready made players that want to play there like rioli and noble. I doubt they interested in JUH as they stocked in that position and not sure about they want to deal with bringing him up to a "party town"

but 3 picks for butters would get it done you'd think.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Good on him.

Why waste your career at that shithole.

 

[Vindicater]

Would be a good fit for us but doubt he leaves to be honest.

Need aside (I don't think they need KPFs), JUH's value is nowhere near Rowell's at the moment. If there are also off-field issues with JUH, I doubt GCS would entertain it.

If Suns don't play finals this season I am leaving if I am in his shoes. I wouldn't make decision till then.
