Regarding TK, I’m surprised everybody forgets this from Trade period:

“At this stage he wants to go home and I can’t see that would be any different in 12 months time, in fact it would be stronger I would think.” TK’s agent.

He’s not staying in Geelong and realistically Geelong already know this.

You're right. Maybe our contracts staff are bored over the bye round and think it would be a fun way to fill the weekend.
Or they're signing up players because that's their job, and it tells us nothing either way about Kelly/Coniglio?
 
Good point. Can everyone please refrain from discussions that may involve predictions or opinions about potential events in the future? Internet message boards are a place to collate factual information only.
Seems like a strange basis to predict a hard push for Kelly/Coniglio. How does it suggest anything either way?
 
Can someone explain to me why we never seem to have cap space and Freo always seem to have room? Particularly when no one knows player salaries?
And also every team has to use a certain percentage of the salary cap each year.so youd have to have a few retirees and/or some manipulation of salaries(backended/frontended ) to make a huge difference

Is Cogs and Kelly at all realistic re: cap space?

Would see some fringe players go.

Ok after several triple burbons I have the deal of the century all sorted people!

Cogs comes as a free agent, GWS get a lousy pick 17 straight after their 16. GWS also hold Essendons 1st lets say pick 8. GWS has an academy kid in Green who could go top 5 so trading pick 8 is in play.

We trade our first say 17/18 plus the Swans 2019 2nd say 25 plus our 2019 2nd for pick 8.

So GWS lose pick 8 (1551 points) for Eagles picks 18 + 25 + 36 ( 985 + 756 + 502 = 2243 points) Thats overs but that to sweeten the Cogs as a rfa deal.

We then trade 8 plus our 2020 1st for Kelly plus maybe the Cats 2020 3rd.

GWS end up gaining picks ,17,18,25 and 36. Lose pick 8 and Cogs as a rfa.

Geelong get 8 plus 2020 1st lose Kelly maybe a 2020 3rd.

Eagles end up with Cogs and Kelly maybe a 3rd 2020.

Eagles lose 2019 picks 18, 25, 36 plus their 2020 1st.

If this comes true, Eagles should give you a job.

Simple explanation from my personal perspective.

We have some champions that ensure we are playing finals almost every year so must be highly. That means they must be worthy of higher salaries meaning tight cap space.

Freo are full of flogs not worthy of paying much meaning loads of cap space available.

Cogs doesn't come free, RFA so GWS will match any offer. We need to trade.
Which rules out the rest of your scenario :)

Good players expensive.

Bad players cheap.

That is a good question that I've often wondered about myself. They recruit all these high profile expensive recruits like Hogan, we get none and they still have more money. Doesn't make sense on the face of it.
Peter Bell is not that good is he?
