Maybe I haven't a brain.......but mate, you have no heart.
All those childish references to a player the CFC valued enough, to give a 5 year contract to...........but he's a squibbsy? FMD
Left field question
Would we entertain taking Bartel as part of the deal with Geelong.
Obviously we would pay 0 but take his contract on.....
Barras70 dropped the hint that we want him as apart of the coaching group.
Perhaps we can do a 'Mitchell' with the beardless one....

I would only trade Touhy if the pick we acquire can then be on traded to Brisbane for Rockliff. We'd be switching a 26yo flanker, of which we have a surplus, for a 26yo mid. That would be a win. Otherwise I would match Geelong's contract offer and convince him to stay.
I like Browny's opinion on the matter... basically says that not too long ago, players went where they were told. They get paid bucketloads and unless they've truly earned their stripes through Loyalty, their club should be able to trade them if a deal is good enough.
Hell, it happened with JJK in the Judd trade.
It seems we are keen on Hrovat. I've no idea about him but what's he worth? Would Tuohy consider a contract at the Dogs for Hrovat?

I think a one year contract for a quality bloke like Bartel wouldn't be a crazy idea. If getting Bartel off the Cats books then gives us more leverage in the trade - to get someone like Guthrie - I reckon it would be worth doing.
Bartel would have 2 years left in him at the top level. Look at how he played in the Finals.

Not sure on everyone else's thoughts but personally I'd prefer to go to the draft than acquire Rockliff in any potential trade... love him as a player but from what's been reportedly on his attitude and captaining approach I think that may put a dent in the culture we're currently trying to build down at Ikon

This!
Yep, would rather keep him if we can't get a good young player or pick in the 20's for him.

Seems Geelong would consider Caddy for a couple of years of Deledio who has been injury prone, and Caddy is open to going to Richmond. Not sure why he wouldn't come to us if he wanted opportunity.
..treacle.
Because they want Tuohy and Deledio.
Deledio is the better player and can be nursed through the year, whilst being primed for the pointy end of the season.
Tuohy makes for a good soldier for them but he isn't the match-winner Deledio could be. High risk, high reward?

Risk is right. Seems to be breaking down easier. Rising 30.
Really not sure why they made Tuohy an offer when they had nothing to deal up. Hoping to steal him for nothing.
Very unlike Geelong, isn't it?
You don't table an offer and commit to the player and then ask. "Now, how are we going to do this?"
That's not necessarily what they're doing, although if it was Essendon?...........you could take it to the bank.

That was my thought process.
if we weren't carrying so much deadwood in everitt jones thomas etc i would consider it. problem is we need young talent and spots are at a premium because of some very poor decisions
