Getting the OK to pay it as $400k per year for 4 makes it easy. Totally wrong for HQ to allow though.

Jeelong should honour the contract as it is. That’s what makes me f$&@ mad about this scam

    Would we look at Brayden George for a pick in the 20's?

    Just done an ACL, but a very talented player who kicked 11 goals in his first two NAB games this year.

    185 cms and big bodied and compared to Tracc.

    Let him have 2023 to rehabilitate and could have a very good medium forward.

    Jeelong should not be in a position to be able to pay that money for a nobody player with their current list. 
    It cannot be above board. 

    Nobody will question it though, with the guy running the show down there being the ex AFL Operations Manager. They are kissed on the pecker down there and it [censored] me to tears. Great facilities all paid for externally, the Geelong Falcons as a quasi feeder team for ex players. The only Victorian club with a true home ground advantage. Even the [censored] Spirit of Tasmania leaves from there now.

    The game ceased being a sport years ago and is a business and like so many businesses, there is corruption.

    That said I was pushing for us to try and get him.

    Fully understand, but the Clubs have to come down hard on this ruling

    It is absurd that Jeelong can just say “Thanks, we’ll take that” after winning the Flag a month earlier

    I assume/hope we're pushing for North's 2023 2nd round pick, traded to Fremantle for Logue, as the icing on top of the Jackson deal.

    If we can get our hands on it, I think we'll try to trade it + Bedford for pick 15, held by GWS. Giants would be one of the teams more likely to push picks back given how many they'll have (picks 18 & 19 may also come under consideration). 

    Bedford + 2023 2nd rounder tied to North (pick ~20) for pick 15 would value Bedford @ pick 56 - slight unders, but that's the cost of trading forward

    You cannot change Rules Mid Trading Season. That is not on

    The AFL would have no issue with changing the rules mid draft, especially if it helps Geelong 😂

    This is 100% right.

    Smoothing = cheating the salary cap. The only way a dump should be allowed is if the clubs split the pay to make up the full contract or the destination club takes on the full contract as is.

    With Mitch Brown retired, Weid on the way out, JVR unproven, Ben Brown about to turn 30 and horribly out of form, Dogga leaving (OK he sucked as a forward but still).... and TMac's foot being no sure thing.... we really need to find a key forward insurance policy in the next few days. Surely we're not putting all our eggs in the Gawn basket.

    Maybe the FD have faith that Disco is able to come in and play Petty’s role, allowing Petts to move up forward and partner with JVR?

    With Hunt and Weideman going I wondered who the top of the list whipping boy would be.

    Reading the first few pages of this thread we have the answer!

    outs

    1. Confirmed : Hunt - free agent to West Coast 

    2. Sure bet: Jackson - trade to Freo or WCE 

    3. Nearly there: Bedford - trade to GWS for likely 3rd round pick 

    4. Possibly: Tomlinson to the Dogs, Weideman to the Bombers 

    5. Fire put out - Harmes to the Bombers  

    ins 

    1. Grundy - definitely be a Demon in 2023 (strange but true)  … debating draft picks 

    2. Smoke : Josh Bruce, Lachie Hunter

    Heard the same (without the salary part though), which is why I wondered if that could be the Tomlinson move potentially.

    Hunter would be a nice addition, compliments our midfield group nicely.

    Doesn't have the speed although he's an elite endurance runner but has great composure and use by hand and foot which is the main thing IMO. Hits great kicks that open up play and his release handballs are fantastic.

    Could be a solid opposite wing to Langdon.

    I agree with this. Have heard he is a bit of a f l o g though, that's my only concern.

    Will be interesting to see how he falls into line with a game plan that isn't all out attack.

    Hopefully we can find some ways to utilise his skillset

    If you judge it as an entire wingers club and average it out with the amazing bloke that is Lingers then we have two decent blokes on the wings..

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
