Have Geelong ever missed out on a player they wanted? They were losing depth with Hawkins, Thouy, Rohan and others getting near 35 (Danger, Stanley, Duncan) but now they just add Smith and Oliver FFS.

Not sure they will end up getting Oliver.

The Smith trade would most likely take all of trade period it will be a stand off between Cats and Bulldogs

Melbourne won’t be letting Oliver go for nothing

15/16 is way unders for Smith!

People setting themselves up to be very angry when Geelong get all their deals done for massive unders by the end of the trade period.

If you haven’t learned by now, it’s on you.

Surely we know that won’t be happening…

Already said they will only trade for Oliver if it suits them hope Melbourne tells them to gagf

Sorry that’s what I meant

That’s fine, they’re a terrific well run club. Challenge for Essendon is to become a terrific well run club. When we achieve that, we will get the players we want. We’ve shown we can secure the players we want as a crap club so there’s hope in future.

I just don’t see how Melbourne have the draft capital to get the Oliver deal done.

And Jack Martin! They don’t have a salary cap.

The problem with that is….then Melbourne are stuck with an unhappy and unwanted Oliver for 6 more years at a mill per year.

That’s not a great outcome for Melbourne.

Fixed…

That won’t be for a very long time.

That’s what the pessimists will say, which is about 90% of fans. They might be wrong though.

Doesn’t mean they should bend over to Geelong,Melbourne need to milk Geelong as much as they can
