Past Zach Tuohy

[puddy cat]

who exactly do we have that can replace tuohy? in case you haven't been watching any Blues game we have very few players that can use the ball the way that he can

try your reserves at g.w.s?

Sorry. Thought you were referring to lonergan. As gfc do, we slowly prepare our future stars rather than throw them in deep end too early. But he will be very big at geelong for a long time. He'll play many more than 10 next year

 

[Arr0w]

I personally believe that GFC are an extremely fair club to deal with. Some of the names that have been mentioned Lang etc, have declined to move, which I understand. They may not have the picks or players to satisfy us

What I think SOS should do, is approach his mate Dodoro and offer him a LOCHLAN Veale deal. They send pick 20 our way, with a swap of say White & Howlett and we let 2E slide to the PSD.

Yes, he missed games with injury this year. Mind you, Geelong manage young players, so unlikely he would have played a full season even if fully fit.

 

[Thrawn]

He played well for us. He isnt a fwd though.
Dont know who sos paid to get fb of the century. Southby dench moore langford bob murray malarkey barry richardson dunkley frawley etc etc much better fbs.

Yet in Carlton's ToC, SOS was selected ahead of Southby in the FB position.

Frawley? LOL.

Cant see Essendon helping us.

If there is something in it for them, i bet you they would

They would get more out of not helping us

Sick burn cocko
Every full back that ever played is better than SOS. Ever even see him play? Or just that one time when you cheered that dog milburn

NFI.....

Where do you rate Gary Ablett senior ??

Sos bitchslapped him silly in the 95 GF and it obviously still hurts, that's if you were even around to see it !!

Think you are missing the point. Given they will improve dramatically next year, I think that it would also help them. Dodoro may be difficult to deal with, but he is no fool

 

[BlueTongue]

Never! A part of my soul would wither away..

But at least you'd know he'd gone to a better place

 

[fpm84]

He only played 10 games this year? was he injured?

Injured in round 7, didn't play again until round 16, held his spot for five weeks and got injured again in round 20. One of our best in our VFL elimination final loss and was pushing for a senior recall in the prelim despite having not played AFL for weeks.

He is regarded as our best young player since Selwood. One of only 3-5 untouchable players at Geelong.

Ha! Well played, sir.

 

[Soapy V]

if i was tuohy i would be speaking with a few other clubs and quickly. i can't see how geelong do it and im not sure they are that interested

It was a pretty stupid call. What was his manager thinking? Should've convinced him that another club was a better option. There's no point selecting a club that doesn't have picks, or the will and desire to actually make a trade happen.

Pretty unprofessional of Geelong to suggest that it was even a possibility.

I love that it still pisses opposition fans off that SOS got the honor!
They just. Can't. Deal with it. Love it!

In an era where the power forward still ruled - Lockett, Dunstall, Ablett sr, Carey - none of them got off the chain while SOS was minding them.

Lockett did

Lockett did

Can confirm, was there that day.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Lockett did

Hshhh!!

Well, maybe now and then. But he was a monster.

"Tuohy (and Deledio, FWIW) approached Geelong via his management late in 2016 season."

It's the player managers that piss me off. Some of them at least.
Sure, I understand and respect that their job is to get the best possible deal for their player, but I'm also sure that sometimes they'll rock the boat when the player has no particular reason to feel unhappy or undervalued by his club.
I'd bet that this has happened in this case. Zach has always come across as a happy, loyal player at Carlton. Now he's had his best ever season with us and suddenly... not happy any more!?
Did he just have a sudden epiphany, like "F*** it, I want to play for Geelong"? I don't think so.

Manager recognized that Zach's value was higher than ever before - maybe as high as it would ever get - so the time was ripe to screw his club for more cash than they're prepared to pay and if they won't pay... go to a club that will.

Don't blame Tuohy at all - we offered him a very paltry contract according to reports.

 

[thylacine60]

cheeky prick wants to get paid in pots of gold - **** that

 

[Neese]

to be sure

Masterclass in how to kick for goal (If anybody in particular is reading).

Paltry?! Well if that's true, that is very disappointing on our part, failing to offer a valued player what he's worth. Banking on his loyalty, mayhap. Eddie Betts all over again.
