There might be one at Woollies.

Can’t believe I am reading that now, as I saw Finey yesterday and would have asked him. Have known him for years. Will try and see him today or monday and find out what he knows. Hope he is correct though. Wonder what we could trade for him and steak knives Heath. Is this the massive salary cap spend coming home to roost?

Thanks for the compliment. However, I am confused as to why you suggest I need to ask a question. I don’t even know what question you want me to ask. I was simply replying to the post about the Cats getting players cheaply and giving an example of that. I am not for one minute suggesting we could get Jackson as cheaply as that.

Cats paid pick 17 and 38 and got back 45 and Bailey Smith. Pick 17 ended up pick 20. I would call that “a packet of chips” for Smith. Could you name one other club that wouldn’t pay that for Smith at the time?

Correct, they are now media stars who give their opinions, rather than report.

Agree with that but they also get a few things right. Picking the right Coach. Mannagh. Humphries. Stengle. Stewart. O’Connor. SDK. Martin. Miers. The Irish boys. Upgrading a pick to get Holmes before us. Cherry picking star players and having the farms to pay them and get them.

Makes you sick, year after year and media is just in raptures over them. Soft draws, real home games, non existent salary cap and every star player wanting to join them.

That is probably your best post ever. The AFL are doing their absolute best to make me hate football. Look at the p-ss weak investigation of the Cats salary cap, by a former Cats official. Some big clubs just do and get what they want, while others are just continually pushed down. The comment by Dunstall just now sums up the AFL. He said “two monster PF’s coming up at the G with two big clubs”.

But we are getting Derksen and Heath.

Heard he has bought a tractor.

And the media sidestepping it.

It was a mess.

Get him in with Buckley for a joint Interview and then announce them. 2 very smart students of the modern game.

8 AA’s and best player nearly every week, plus being the face of our mess in the media, as well as mentoring mentally ill team mates not enough for you?

Might concede 1, but disagree on 2 and 3. You can’t do the same old thing and expect it to change. Are you suggesting we are a one man team in point 3?

Well I disagree with that. He was, but he isn’t anymore. He is not the player he was before the injury. I don’t blame him for that, but it is a fact. He is burning players in better positions, same as Curnow, trying for the long bomb goals. He complains when the ball isn’t passed to him. He has lost a bit of pace and is still a poor kick. Worst of all, I have seen him several times this year pull out of contests, where contact might be expected. Think of the De Goey mark in the last round, that ended up in a goal down the other end. Of course you can’t blame him for that, but on his money and in his position in the team, it is unacceptable. I see him as the one being spoken about every trade period and that will be a distraction l, so if we got a very good deal, I would bite the bullet and trade him.

Can we just get a few clubs to demand a proper investigation, done by a non Geelong person. I am sick of this club getting all the benefits and not being properly investigated over its salary cap.

Sounds like he did make it up. Rumour has been Cats for a while and now confirmed.

If Buckley is announced our Coach, I actually expect Caro to boo the announcement.

Irrespective of her Gender, Caro is pushing Buckley to Tassie as hard as she can. I thought journos report the news, not try and create it. She is clearly trying to assist her mate Brendan Gale, it is actually becoming pathetic,

I get the feeling the only big names that may be considered for trading are Tracc, May and Lever and that would of course depend on whether they are being chased and what is being offered.

What if Tracc was traded to the Hawks and we got their Blues pick plus more and that was the start of the trade price.

We would be a better team with Jackson, so I am confident a new Coach would drive it if it was possible.

Has this still got any legs, or is it dead in the water?

Is that better than blues fingers?
