You just traded Grundy for 27. Don't try and sell me a pony and tell me it's a thoroughbred.

Looks good to me.
Personally, I think if the Cats weren't willing to pay a first round pick for somebody who the whole industry, and the vast majority of their supporters at the beginning of trade week thought was worth a first round pick, they should have told that kid that we can't do it this year. It's piss poor business dealings.
We didn't say we could either, as his manager said - there was a lot of water to go under the bridge and he wasn't the Cats first priority.
Definitely not trading out pick 18 next year.
Stephens ain't going nowhere. That's fantasy football at its finest.

I'm putting names to a supposed conversation. It's meant to be ridiculous because the idea someone else is surveying a pick on him is ridiculous

If you don’t understand the difference between a late 20’s Grundy on 1M a year for the next half decade and Ollie Henry then you don’t deserve to own a keyboard.

Everyone needs to hold their horses here a bit and that man.. don't you reckon it's a bit overdressed Ollie would come out and actually say that.. it's galoot like man.. reaks of Geelong actually rating him highly man. I reckon Geelong would get as jumpy as a wallaby if they can't offload their P25 to get him across the Nullarbor.
The ball might actually be in the GDub's court here I reckon and that.. I reckon if he sits tight a bit and that.. chillaxes a bit and that.. we might actually see something like a split of P16 & Ollie for P7 and the Madge as the sweetener mate. Not beyond the realms of possibility here man.. I tell ya.

Todays the day the Pies roll over.
I'm very comfortable in saying that if Collingwood don't get the pick they require for Henry, he stays. There is no way Collingwood will offload him and hand Geelong a one way win.

How many players in the history of this great and all encompassing game of ours have come out and done an Ollie man? Geelong might combuster brick it here if we say no.
He’ll offload himself Collingwood have no say. Btw thanks for taking Hopper and delivering us p7 and Henry
So they'll take nothing instead of taking 90 cents in the dollar?
Makes perfect sense.
That argument would probably be better if you were not still paying part of his contract to not be at your club at the same time.
again with this, like many have said henry and his management had contract offers and were looking to erxtend throughout the year. the offers were underwhleming and thats how we got here. so why would all of a sudden he just accepts a lower contract and play in the vfl, why not go somewhere else and get paid more and in the first team?
IMHO as a neutral Henry is worth around pick 20-26. I can see why collingwood feel 25 is a little short, but at the end of the day he wasn't in their best 22 come finals, so you cant expect overs.

Today's the day that the newly promoted kid on the block realises that it's not fantasy football and the bold new trading strategy he's convinced his club to go with has to actually get Henry home or he loses credibility with his bosses.
.
And it's not just his reputation within the club at stake. If he leaves Ollie in limbo, it damages the newly created Falcon's pipeline, as all those kids they woo from early teenage years expect the Cats to uphold their end of the bargain and get them home when they make the call.

How often are marking forwards automatic selections in their first two years - particularly in a top 4 team?

With 100% certainty this deal doesn't get done. The Cats won't offer pick 7 for O Henry and pick 16. The Pies won't accept pick 25 nor should they. The Cats this trade period are trying to win every trade to love 25 wouldn't be to love but no doubt it needs to be a better offer.

they get to keep pick 27 which is 11 place down grade on Henry but also pick up Mitchell into an area that they really need its a net gain, as opposed to losing Henry for nothing and taking a big loss.

Ironic - Collingwood want to keep a player that does not want to be there and move on players that want to stay.
25 will get it done in the ND

We cant trade our fr1 unless we trade in an fr2 fr3 and fr4 so thats not legal.
I doubt we would do it anyway.
