Knevitt is geelong's sub. OOC, maybe he a cheaper version we should go after instead.

We would need to find a farm to give him.

would a new apartment work? Maybe a job for his gf (if he has one)...

As long as the apartment is big enough for some chooks and a veggie patch.

A house it is.. with a garden.

Honestly I’d be asking about Humphrey again with Rowell looking likely to stay. He’d be a beast in the middle for us.

I mentioned in the other games thread that I'd love him at the Pies. Still building his fitness, but when he can run out four quarters at max throttle he's going to be an absolute jet.

Problem is he's signed to 2028, so the deal they'd want would be astronomical.

They rate him very highly. It will be hard dealing with Mackie trying to get him

Watching the Hawks vs Kangas VFL game I thought Henry Hustwaite looked good he had 38 disposals and 12 clearances.

I also completely forgot about Zane Duursma (pick 4 in the 2023 draft)

I looked at his VFL stats and understand why he isn't playing senior footy but also wonder if he is being played out of position as a forward instead of a mid. There are so many ahead of him, wonder if it might be worth getting in his ear when. he becomes out of contract in 2026.

Lastly I remeber Cal Twomey saying Mitch Knevitt is someone to keep an track on - maybe if Geelong go after anothing big fish in the midfield.

I've had this nagging feeling, for a few years now, about this kid, I think he's going to be a very good player. I haven't seen him lately but needs to fill out.
From what I remember, he plays like Pendles in a way. He modeled his game around Pendles.
I think he could be a steal.

SchuPie told me that it will only take pick 26.

Bruzzy was never gonna leave, if there’s a definition of a man who bleeds this club it’s him

A pick in the 40s or he threatens to walk like Ollie Henry.

Check out 195cm Henry Hustwaite vfl midfield stats this year

Out of contract in 2026

But worth asking the question

Bruzzy has done tougher shits than Ollie

Our midfield would be the land of the Giants. Allen 194cm, Long 194cm and hustwaite 195cm

In fairness, Henry is pretty selfless when it comes to shit - he gives evryone the shits.

Round 23 2022. The great victory over Carlton. That flog is celebrating with he boys like a Russian spy

I think cats supporters are realising he’s a third tall mark and kick version of ginni

People are pulling this quote from Niall's article and running with it as if it's a sure thing Maynard stays without understanding the context in which it is said.

Of course Maynard doesn't want to leave. But neither did Grundy, neither did Treloar. Niall's point is that there is a cold reality to player movement in the AFL now and it's up to the club to determine whether the black and white figures of cash replace the intrinsic value of losing a heart and soul player.

Comparing Maynard to the Grundy and Treloar cases makes little sense to be fair

They're comparative in the sense that they were beloved players that didn't want to leave but the reality of business comes over the top of that.

Treloar is comparable - and it was gut wrenching for Adam who was desperate not to leave. If Maynard is similar, he won't go unless the club pushes him out like we did with Treloar - which is really unlikely.

Your examples here are almost as bad context as what you’re criticising here though. In fact Niall specifically pointed out in his article that the difference between the Grundy/Treloar situation and Maynard is that the club actively pushed out the former two, whereas they have no intention of doing such to Maynard.

The reality is that if the club wants to keep Maynard they’re in a position to do so, given that the previously reported offer from Norf doesn’t actually exist.

I'm sorry you feel that way about my comment.

I don’t think so, if I was a gambling man I would put money on him staying
