Whatever Bundy's preference out of GC or Brisbane has Zero relevance to a trade.

We trade him to the club who gives the best offer. Simple.

If we accept 21 for Bundy than there needs to be a serious review of how the club run their trades.

There is another week of player movement remaining!
Certainly if he's contracted, Geelong should go for the deal that's best for them. Accepting 21 when they could get better from GC would be very foolish.

The Geelong nice guys are coming out in the trade period again, though, happy to screw themselves over.

Ok guys spoke to my people at Lara who are close to his family, he apparently IS contracted for next year and the issue he is leaving for (which he suggests is 100% going to happen, that we cannot keep him) is a relationship issue. The rumour of a baby is false according to him, although he didn't say if the story of cheating is correct or not.
Regardless he is going for relationship reasons and we have little to no change of keeping him.
If bundy is contracted and the above is correct (he is leaving for relationship issues) then I have no issues with us playing absolute hardball. Heck Collingwood are doing it to Beams whose old man is in remission! Suitable deal for Geelong or suck it up Bundy and honour your contract like a grown man! Simple

So if the above is true and he still has a year to go, can't we just say thanks but no thanks, kind of like what the Pies are doing with Beams? I'm not wary to all the intricacies but unless it's a matter of life or death we hold all the cards.
