Nope, it was our call, and he naturally is disappointed. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/10/17/foundation-giant-open-to-crack-at-third-afl-club-after-demons-delisting/ “When the decision came through I was pretty upset and even though I knew it was coming it’s not the easiest thing to hear, particularly that they value other people higher than you.”

Bengals, Chiefs, Ravens

It’s the right call. Everyone should play there.

I like it. All I hear is that this year’s draft is strong and next year’s isn’t. If we want to do something whilst we still have Gawn and May (…and Trac and Clarry…), it’s better to hit this year’s draft than wait to next year’s. The picks after 40 aren’t worth enough to us so it makes sense to release them as steak knives.

This is Matthew Lloyd, not Sam McClure for once.

I reckon this is a good call from us. I think the foundations are there with Sharp for him to make it as a quality wing/half-forward. A risk worth taking IMO.

If there’s any truth to the rumour that he’s open to a pay cut if it facilitates a trade, that can only mean one of two things: 1. His manager has to have a long talk to him about why that’s insane. He deserves, and needs, every dollar we’ve promised him. He is not someone who should be reckless with his earnings right now. 2. Geelong is offering to make him a Cotton On ambassador or some other dodgy [censored].

Ben Brown’s on Trade Radio, talking about our year and the club generally:

Yep. There’s little to no chance IMO that Campbell and Gawn line up in the same side.

Anyone who can kick moves the needle for us. Houston's a current two-time AA. Grundy was a historical two-time AA. The blessing in disguise isn't because Houston's not that good; he is. It's because we would have been pressured/required to trade pick 6 to get him. Carlton and Collingwood have picks outside the top 10, which are easier to trade away for a player like Houston.

Texans, Steelers, Falcons

I’m fairly confident that post you quoted is made up…
