General Trade Discussion 2022

Any chance we sort of had an 'in principle' deal, tied to us acting in good faith on Taranto and now McCartney, Bartel, Matthews and even Kingsley are attempting to screw us?
I know the talking heads in the media basically always put the onus on the club who's made the commitment to bring a player in to get the deal done, but it shouldn't be at any cost.
Still hope we're prepared to walk and tell Hopper to take his grievances up with GWS.
Putting aside McCartney's undoubtedly heroic deads in relation to Bali.... it doesn't mean he gets a lifetime pass in every dealing he has in relation to his job. Matthews has always been a bombastic character and Bartel is starting to come over as a bit of a smartarse these days imo. (No wonder he wants the AFL footy ops gig!)
I just wasted 60 seconds of my life i won't get back
His highlights are shitthouse.
A goal from the goal square
A tackle
A mark inside 50 all by himself
Yippee
Don't compare him to Hopper.
It's like comparing Ross to Martin
Me puts trade radio on for an update if any.
Hears nothing but circle jerking over Geeling oh how good are they oh the lifestyle oh they go it do well oh they are better than everyone oh everyone wants to play there ffs!
Its almost as if the media are pushing a propaganda campaign.
The sycophantry is next level
Switches off.

I generally think the football world is very harsh on Tom Mitchell, here's a guy who came to the Hawks for a late first rounder, he has delivered a Brownlow & has 97 votes since he arrived, he's been the value pick compared to O'Meara & he has been in the top 5 contested ball winners in the AFL for close to a decade. Having witnessed the fan disdain for a guy like Wayne Campbell, I have a bit more respect for meat & potatoes footballers, not every player bounds away like the Bont but if they are getting first use then you are half way there. We definitely need some classy finishers, funnily enough Bowes kind of represents that but doesn't have the runs on the board, certainly not in the midfield. That is one risk I would have taken but the Cats have stolen the booty. Nevermind, the draft is the next battalion, got to back yourself in, big year looming.
Bruhn for pick 18. GWS have done well there.
If it is a F1, 30, Soldo with later pick(s) back our way - We are getting Hopper on the cheap in comparison.
Different level of footballer.

Not sure how rugby works but players are contracted to the AFL so when clubs sign them all up it is literally impossible to end up over because it is all centralised.
The only way you could cheat it is Carlton style by deliberately making payments outside the system but I can't imagine anyone would do that now, with the incredibly heavy scrutiny and tools available to the investigators.
Fair enough but it should be F1 & 30 not F1 , 30 & player (Soldo)
I’m convinced whoever runs the spreadsheet at collingwood And suns didn’t drag the sum function over the correct cells or made some other basic error then the work experience kid at afl House picked it up and was like we have a problem Here.
It's like this every second year.
Young players are dreading every trade for a draft pick they make.
Don't worry this will happen in the next 5 yrs when the decent players they picked up this year want out
If geelong is permitted to spread Bowes contract over four years then that is out and out rorting.
Absolute BS if the afl allows that arrangement.
Just further corruption of the game.
What is happening to SPORT??!!

This is why it seems strange on why they're stalling our trade. What exactly do they want??
