Don't forget we can trade a player and keep that salary on our books, gives us bargain power since gws salary cap is full.
I can see the AFL gifting North a bonus pick at the start of round 2 just you wait and see.
I would be very surprised if gws wants an inside mid from us. They have them already and the picks to get more a graders straight away. They will want miles in legs, gut runners, delivery inside 50, link men, or a ruck, key defenders. We have a few. Hugo, short, soldo, Miller and dare I say it - balta will all be targeted.
Haven't you heard redders, Iceberg lettuce are very, very expensive at the minute
My point is that, Kingsley is losing both Taranto and Hopper and you'd think that he would want to bring in a midfielder that has had some development.
I may well be wrong, he may not think that RCD or Dow have anymore improvement left in them. I don't won't to mention Graham.
All I'm saying is that I won't be surprised if one of them is part of the trade, as GWS's midfield is being gutted.
Yeah. Everything is off the charts expensive. About to go to stinkin Woolworths now actually.Haven't you heard redders, Iceberg lettuce are very, very expensive at the minute

I get what you’re saying but the fact we’re chasing these two guys tells you our midfield stocks are really poor - ergo why would GWS want any of them. They’ll ask for better quality player/s than those two. And it wouldn’t surprise if they could get Dawkins for free soon anyway.
Minor detail that.
Can clubs trade players the same year they sign a contract? I thought they banned that a few years ago.
Tarranto pick 12 & pick 19 2022
Hopper 1st rounder next year plus Soldo or Short.
Edmund is making it up.
They need to clear cap space. Either clear it now or they become the new Collingwood at the end of 2023.
Pick 12, 19 next yrs 1st plus a player
Would do it.
What's Geelong going to offer pick 17 & Patiff *smile* off.
Agree with that, but the gist of my original post was whether Kingsley thought that RCD or Dow had any scope for improvement and whether he may consider them as part of a trade.
Surely there are a couple of fringe players Kingsley might wanna take with him? Longmuir took Aish with him for example. Amon will go to Carlton because he was coached by Voss at PA. Ratten brought in Hill who knew him from his Hawthorn days. I'm sure there are other examples of this.
How does Carlscum fit so many players into their salary cap as there’s talk of Acres going there as well
Maybe we shouldve allow Baker to walk.
WC wouldve given us there 2nd rounder.
Pick 20
Pick 12 & 20 for Hopper
Pick 19 &1st rounder 23 for Tarranto.
GWS aren't going to Deal with Geelong.
They hate them more then we do.
I think if rocked up with those options to GWS, they would take it.
What compo would Hopper get GWS at the end of next year? End of round 1 compo??
We have the picks and players to make the deals work.
Stengle, Chol and Bulter have proven our non best 22 still are very valuable.

Agree but thats why I said pick 19 might have to be the kicker to get the deal over the line.
So effectively we will give up Picks 13, 19 & next years first round pick for Taranto and Hopper.
I am sure we will get some later picks coming back our way. Maybe their pick 39.
Castangna. They are crying out for small - medium forwards, especially with Hill leaving.
