Yes to Weitering but no way Cripps. Walsh I'd be all over a 7 year deal to take him through to 27. But Cripps through to 33 no chance!

Harry surely ?

 

[jd2010]

Harry surely ?

Yeah he's another you'd throw it at. Crazy to think that if he and his brother were born a few hours later they go in the Walsh, Rozee, King etc. super draft too

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah Walsh absolutely would be a prime target for a 7 year deal. At the end of it he'd be 27/28, likely still in prime years. No brainer.

 

[Sub_Zero]

from Carlton I'd take Walsh, Weitering and McKay on a 7 year contract easily

Big bodied mids who don’t rely on pace tend to last a little longer. Kennedy, Mundy etc.

My God the pot is black. The arrogance and one eyed views that come from your keyboard are atrocious. Just wake up and look at the responses in this thread to you saying cripps would clearly want to join the eagles "Cos like, Freo are sh*t haha lol".

Don't complain mate over here we have to live with these people!

Those that don't have to live with it will never understand why we hate them so much.

Journos right...

You wouldnt give Oscan Allen that deal?!

Got it easy. Not surrounded by Hawfs.

Not offering 7 years to a 3rd forward who has never been the main man, no indication he can handle the best defender.

 

[Kram]

Imagine living in Melbourne and there was only 2 local teams. Geelong and the other one was Hawthorn. And they had twice as many supporters as you. Scary isn't it

Have you even seen him play?!

i really like doedee as a player and future captain but with his injury record and inability to play as a key defender, no thanks. i think these long term deals are crazy anyways. you have no idea who else might come along, the financial circumstances of the league, a global pandemic. would collingwood offer grundy 7 years again knowing what would happen?

I was doing it from our pov to be fair. Key backs, forwards and rucks clearly areas of need. So yeah I’d happily have Doedee for 7 years.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yes

 

[Fwoy]

How many years would people offer Shai Bolton?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

3 years

 

[gaskin]

I'd give him 4 or 5 to bring him home but I am not really a fan of long contracts.

well if it's from geelongs pov how could you ignore the reliability, consistency and pace off half back of david mackay?

Too young for us. Get him to 300 games then call us.

How many years would people offer Shai Bolton?

I'd offer him a huge deal. Absolute A-grader with an undefinable ceiling. Top 3 in a retrospective 2016 draft.

 

[gaskin]

Top 2 for me and I would be tempted to take him pick 1.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The only player from that draft I'd pick before him right now is McLuggage.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ned Guy has fallen on his sword for the debacle last trade period

Toss-up between Bolton and Suitcase, definitely.
