Why would he do that? There would have to be extra $s for the extra years.

because if he doesnt do that he'll be out of the system in two years having wasted his time playing vfl

    That doesn't make sense. Why would we want him for 4 years if that's the case?

    if bowes is on 800k a year for 2 more years, surely we can say ok make it 400k 4 years and we'll do it. we can definitely fit that into the cap surely

    GCS would def thought of that. And it would be the first thought in every club recruiter's mind

    I'm wondering if the kid's body is shot or he's just not a best 22. Backended contract, maybe $1.6mill over final two years. Could be a simple as a club paying a lot money to buy pick 7 (which will end up being be at least 8) and have one list spot filled with a NQR Bowes

    no he'd be stuck at the suns still and whilst he probably plays games next year they clearly prioritise weller/budarick/powell for whatever reasons probably some being the fact they're on less coin and also probably because they havent expressed they wanna play as midfielders like apparently bowes has

    the suns see bowes as an asset they have plenty of and he's a player who will have suitors therefore they're prepared to offer his money out rather than smoothing it while other players who have less to offer other clubs or who they have less similar types to on their list they will smooth out. i think his body is fine he's only 24 he's only had one injury interrupted year and that was this year iirc

    so that'd be...

    IN: pick 7, bowes, bruhn, henry
    OUT: late first and second round picks

    handy!

    I’d hope Collingwood and GWS hold out for better picks, threaten to send at least one of those guys to North.
     

    I doubt they’re getting pick 7 straight up regardless but somethings really fishy if the Cats find the room needed for Bowes. Might be the move that forces the AFL to finally dig in to that magical salary cap

    So these interested clubs will offer him more total money over more years. There's no way he takes the same money over more years.

    For starters, I'd like to know who paid for the hobby farms that Cameron, Hawkins and Stanley own just outside of Geelong city

    But does anyone seriously think that the AFL want another SC debacle? They are too busy furiously sweeping the Hawthorn racism disclosure under the carpet. Transparency and accountability are looooooow on the AFLs priority list

    SHocking probably investigated his own handy work before setting the cats up with a dream fixture then driving back down the highway

    Ralphy tonight on OTC said Bowes was on about $550k for last 2 years of his contract.

    Riewoldt asked if pick 7 was part of the deal and Ralphy said yes. He then said the Saints were not interested and Reiwoldt was furious.

    If the deal is basically Bowes with pick 7 , to take over his contract and maybe a late pick back, I will also be furious.

    How else, if we are not near the bottom and don't want to trade a star Dee, will we get a pick 7?

    It is basically trading 29 year old Tomlinson for 24 year old Bowes and pick 7. Anyone on here against that?

    It’s been so long since Geel has been at the pointy end of the draft that they probably wouldn’t know what to do with pick 7… probably arrive late and miss the call

    Seems too good to be true. Perhaps Bowes has his issues?

    It depends if we have other targets. But taking on a NQR just to get pick 7 is essentially taking on a list clogger and hoping you hit pick 7. It's a brave new world, I guess.

    You think Bowes is a list clogger?

    Let me suggest this: we let Hibbo at 33 in probably his last year go and replace him with Bowes at 24, plus one of the 7 best young players in the country.

    Bowes is younger, taller and a better user of the ball than Hibbo.

    If it meant having Bowes for one more year than Hibbo, to have pick 7, who could be a 12 year player for us, would you say no?

    If Baker, Tomlinson and maybe even Melk went, you would be a mile ahead on salary cap room and have a player who is ahead of all of them and a possible, young, future good player as a bonus, from the draft.

    I don't know enough about Bowes to say one way or the other. 

    But Hibbo for Bowes is not really an apt comparison as they don't play the same position.

    The better comparison is Baker though and I'd be happy to get pick 7 and exchange Bowes for Baker without knowing anything about him.

    The only question remains is how much salary cap space do we have?

    If bringing Bowes in impacted us getting, say, Naughton, I'd be against it.

    Jackson to Fremantle.

    Fremantle send Pick 13 to Filth and future 2nd Round Pick to Gold Coast.

    Collingwood send Grundy to Melbourne.

    Gold Coast send Bowes and Pick 7 to Melbourne with Freo picking up a large portion of Bowes contract.

    Dees get Bowes, Grundy and Pick 7 for Jackson

    Gold Coast get a future 2nd Round Pick and cap relief for Bowes and Pick 7.

    Filth get Pick 13 for Grundy.

    Freo get Jackson for Pick 13, Future 2nd Rounder and taking on part of Bowes contract?

    If the Traloar deal is anything to go by we won’t have to trade much for Grundy

    They are the type of club to jump on that. Reason why they don’t need to rebuild.

    I’m not against it Red, but how do convince Bowes to come to us when his wish is to play midfield and how do you get Tomo to agree to move interstate again?

    Deals like this are done months in advance, we aren’t getting Pick 7 which is all anyone really wants out of this deal.

    Heard yesterday on trade radio that it was around the 850k mark for next year (wasn’t said about final year but assuming it’s similar). Some very intriguing contracts at the suns, but imo to keep players, they did what they had to.

    No Tomo goes to Dogs. In other words salary is swapped and we get younger player and 7.

    I don’t think this deal was done months ago, as he is contracted and Suns just came up with the idea, but yes, you have to convince Bowes to come to you. Well someone is going to.

    Well if that’s true it does alter things.

    Would it make sense for Freo to go after Bowes and then use pick 7 as part of the Jackson trade?

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
