Could easily get one a bit earlier if we were willing to move players like Ellis and Edwards

Pretty sure it doesn't matter what the deal (this one or any others) a lot of people wont be happy

So true but I suppose clubs have to want them.... and in the case of both they have to agree

Yeah like they offered up Edwards or Bellis

Both players rated highly by our club and would never be put up as trade

Lids to GWS
« Reply #843 on: October 18, 2016, 12:44:04 PM »
If Lids is happy to look at Dogs or Cats for a better chance at a flag etc.

Why isn't GWS an option, they have picks to burn and its what we want. Surely Lids can be persuaded to go to GWS where he's almost guaranteed a flag in his last 3-4 years. Or is he happy being safe at the Cats in Melbourne and just making up numbers in finals.

GWS don't need picks, they need a Lids. Go to GWS Brett for everyones sake.
Go Tigers!

He's on too much coin.

Think it is more to do with Lids having kids now and being near family and not isolated interstate is the priority in life.

People aren't happy with our deals because they suck.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

So you think Lids (who wants to go) and a straight swap for Caddy isn't a good deal for us?

or would you rather the club cave into geelong's demand of Lids + pick 27 for Caddy and say that's a better deal?

Or perhaps you want them to do a Hawthorn'esq deal for Lids? Pick 50 odd?

Caddy for Lids is a win for us.

Nothing wrong with that deal it doesn't suck.

Simple facts are (1) if Geelong want him it's on our terms not their's. If they wont' accept a fair a reasonable trade then Lids comes back, re stocks his locker and we move on

And (2) we can throw up the likes of Edwards, Ellis B, Lennon, etc but if no one wants them or they don't agree to a trade then they don't go

 



Geelong not prepared to do that deal is not the Club's fault

To summarise,
The club consists of players that no other club will touch in a trade because they're rubbush and former number one picks that don't want to play for the club.


Lol.

and u reckon why can can come up with a win... :snidegrin
Caracella and Balmey.
