Byrne and Sheehan pending fitness could play at half back. Simpson, Docherty already mostly play there. Thomas can play there. Buckley can. From left field perhaps Lamb, Gowers, Sumner or Viojo could fit into a role coming off half back. It's a very important role but one we can fill more cheaply than key position players and midfielders. His replacement will probably be a little short on quality though Byrne will be a better player than Tuohy and Sheehan has the potential to be just as good. It's not about next year it's about the following years so what we do has to be beneficial for our long term future.
 
Sos us a bit if a contradiction. He clearly emphasises the importance of defence in his trading- weitering, plowman, marchbank etc, yet he is prepared to lose an important player such as tuohy. I just hope the restless one has got this one right

Think his willingness to lose 2e is purely based on his expectation we would get another talented kid in or a high pick. Very content to keep him - hence the 3 year deal (albeit smaller than valued) on the table.

If reports of Carlton asking for a trade of Tuohy for Cockatoo are true, then I would say Carlton aren't intending to make the trade happen at all. There is zero chance Geelong will agree to that, which SOS and co. would well-know. I think your guys must be confident Tuohy won't nominate for the PSD and will ultimately settle on the contract offered.

Not sure about the crystal ball gazing but Cockatoo seems the sort of guy you'd keep around. Once he finds his feet he may well tear a game apart.

Plus, I couldn't stand the Carlton BF puns, they would be many and endless. Think of it, his name has a rude word with multiple meanings, the name of a bird and a number in it.

The thread would easily run into the 1000's of pages.

Not neccesarily true. Cockatoo probably wont be best 22 next year. Tuohy will be.

What about if we chucked in a pick that would get Lids?

Nah, Cockatoo is a to 10 pick (Geelong's only one in a decade) and has the potential to become an elite mid. He is a big part of Geelong's future. Not a snowballs chance they trade that for a good-solid defender. Tuohy certainly has attributes we are needing (pace of half-back and a lovely kick), but it won't happen at the expense of a Cockatoo, I can assure you.

The reason I mention it is that Carlton is obviously aware Geelong won't do that trade. So it makes me wonder if they haven't seriously bought into negotiations, as they're confident Tuohy won't jump when/if no trade is done..

We'd sure like to land Deledio, but I'd say the club has Cockatoo in the 'untradable players' column with Dangerfield and Selwood.

no one is untradeable.

it depends on what the clubs strategy is. are you going all out next year? or staying competitive?

Enough said... I see what you're hinting at... That could get ugly.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

Cockatoo may play a role in Geelong's push for a flag in 2017, but ultimately he is a key player Geelong are grooming for the future.

All players are tradable, true, but it depends on where they are at in their career and where the list is at. For example, Dangerfield isn't tradable at the moment, or Selwood, or Hawkins. Or Cockatoo for that matter.

I'm curious to see how this trade pans out. But like I said, it doesn't seem Carlton are really playing ball here (pardon the dreadful pun).

What offers have you made?

We have 38 ... and err ... why don't you choose from that box labelled 'players who refuse to be traded'.

Geelong has a history of being very fair and accommodating traders. Often to the frustration of its own supporters. But unfortunately, there isn't much to offer this year.

Agreed. I'm sure something will work out. maybe it will end up being pick 38....

Patience, we have until 2pm Thursday by which there would have been other deals go down which may unlock pick swaps or minor trades that get us to a point where both clubs are happy.
