Next year as a free agent maybe but not this year.
No way Blicavs is traded. Not just because despite his recent patchy form (coming off a broken leg), he is still a uniquely versatile player. AND he is extremely close to the Guthrie clan.
Do tell???

Fringe players devalue any deal for us. Very tight for list spots. Rhys Stanley need not apply.

He wants to come back to Geelong.
It'll take a mighty effort to make it happen, and it won't happen this year.

Remember he trained with us in his draft year and we were keen (like with stringer) but the dogs pounced first so if he is gettable as an FA next year we will be keen then.

After the Crows loss I don't think GAJ is an option any longer. It's a band-aid fix. All resources have to be directed to getting Stringer, IMO

It will be both, but I'm not sold on Ablett.
I think if you take away his name and instead say "34 year old who hasn't played much footy the last 2 seasons" it becomes a different scenario.

I can tell you as fact that Luke won't leave the dogs no matter what your father in law heard.
Unless you have a source closer, or have anything valuable to contribute other than "My gut feel", I think you can GTFO.

So because i said there is no chance he leaves the dogs you act like that. real classy.
You're on an opposition board, disagreeing with people without any substance. Don't be too precious.

I'd agree but Stringer is a spud imo. Best focus on a more consistent player.

I truly don't see what the upside is for Geelong in bringing Gaz back. It's a short term gamble with a guaranteed long term negative impact. I can't believe Geelong are even considering it let alone a deal nearly done as the media seems to think it is.
Just to piss Richmond off

Yeah, I'm off to collect my tickets tomorrow.
I didn't come on to troll. I had just been listening to discussion on the radio about it and I popped on here because I truly don't get it. The spot on the list he will be taking up could be the next Gary Ablett

You're right to say he won't be traded, but I would hope that the club's reasoning would not be as you suggest. Versatility is a generally overrated attribute and it Blicavs' case it is ridiculously so.
A team of 22 specialists, each good at what they do, will flog a team of utlities that are handy in multiple positions.
I don't care either way if he returns as long as he is cheap but in Well's we trust. Enjoy your tickets let's see how it turns out.

Same with Menzel. Seemingly unwilling to keep a 40 goal forward.
Buyer beware signal from the GFC.
