wouldnt give foley for there best pick full stop :gotigers
-
Geelong's first is pick 23 so that ain't going to get them Foley. They would need to do first what was suggested in the paper this morning of swapping one of their compo picks back to the Gold Coast (GC wants these compo picks) for a high first round pick. They then could ontrade that pick to us for Foley. The idea of ending up with two picks inside the top 10 would be very tempting.
-
yeah gee, foley is a real x-factor (that show is horrible by the way) for us next year. A fully fit axle next year could amp up our mid field considerably... I understand we want low picks in this draft, but are we assured of a player that will be better than him?
like others though, i'm nervous that injuries may cruel his career.
-
I generally don't agree with trading for players-particularly unproven whiners but in this case if the Cats put a Mackie it would be worth thinking about.
-
Mackie is 26 y.o. Too old for us given we're still a couple of years away from being a finals side and a player type that we don't need to chase after IMHO.

agreed! but gosh i would give up plenty for Varcoe, he will expload this year! Perfect age, ability to break the lines and a good size.

Was it Varcoe or Dempsey we overlooked for JON? :P I remember Miller wanting one of Ryder, JON and one of the other two.
-
don't mention the war MT... hahah
Varcoe was pick 15, Dempsey was 19. Gee we went out of our way to find duds in that draft!
-
If, and I still believe it is a big if, we are entertaining the idea of trading Axel then we must be concerned with his legs as at his best he was sensational and a midfield with him fit, cotch, dusty and lids hopefully spending some time there would have the inside grunt and outside speed we need. Wouldn't think Geelong would ever trade varcoe now he is going to be a goody only thing I think they could offer is Gamble (who from memory wanted out) and a pick. Don't see any of this happenning and don't want it to.

Taking Varcoe would be our single biggest mistake since drafting JON. He is vastly overrated, spasmodic, and his delivery is more hit and miss than the Australian XI middle order. At least he would solve our short term issue of finding a new whipping boy now that McMahon is gone.

Agree, when fit he can get the ball but can't use it! we are slowly weeding out the guys with bad disposal, Foley Tuck Jackson and White are all a liability, there is no room for all four at the club. Get what we can for Foley while we can!
-
Foley only has poor disposal when he's playing with a vial full of painkillers in his ankle
Hard to kick straight when you can't feel your foot
-
really dislike the disrespect shown in this thread by some 'experts' towards a vice-captain of our club, who was a shining light in some pretty dark times.
you dont have to rate him, but dont make knobs of yourselves.
I think that a fully fit Foley would compliment our midfield beautifully. :thumbsup

Totally Agree mate... once he plays next year posters on this fourm will be like " i always liked Foley" or " I Knew he would pull through!" when we already knew he would :thumbsup :lol
He is already fit enough to play and was rested last season so he could preform better in 2011 :gotigers
-
just check out the round 8 game against the dawks and see how good axel really he killed them that day he is a keep no way we should trade him :clapping
-
Foley is a gun

a fully fit foley still has a pathetic skill level by foot
and btw there is no such thing as a fully fit foley
lets jeff hogg him, and jeff hogg was a much greater player and leader than foley

1 he wasnt that great and iirc the week later foley was useless
2/ how many games has the cripple played the past 2 yrs
-
move him on l say, we could do better. His not consistant for a midfielder & Cotchin, Martin are already past him
-
A straight swap for Selwood - okay, we'll chuck in Thurstie as a bonus ;D

In my opinion nathan is an absolute gun..There are not many genuine extractors of the football in the AFL these days,and we got one of the best.unless someone offers a Chris judd,or Ablett ,you hang on to him .i also think nathans greatest skill is his ability to win centre clearances,something invaluable.
-
Hope he is all patched up and back to his best next year. IF we have them all firing our midfield will be formidable.
