Cal Twomey seems to be the only one talking sense on the issue.

Stated on SEN this morning that it’s up to the Cats to make this work. They’ve courted for 18mths, have got him onboard, so need to cough up.

It’s astonishing that this isn’t the take from most, if not all of the media.
Wouldn’t surprise to hear them cheering on Connor’s draft tampering.

It’s become a genuine ****in shit show.

I think it was Mitch Cleary wasn’t it?

I think if we can land 17 + F2 for Smith and 25 for Daniel then we’ve done really well and can bring in some future midfielders at those first two picks.

If Saints don’t want to pay up for Macrae, then just keep him with Daniel leaving. He would still have a role to play next year and we can offload his salary next season if needed.
 
25 for Daniel would be great work. He’s a fringe player for us now.

O’Halloran is the same age and would replace Smith as a HFF/wing/depth inside mid option, and harden us up a little bit too. He’s not a high volume accumulator, but we have enough of those. He’s impactful in the possessions he does win. Similar to Coffield, he’s well regarded as a leader and would help flesh out the mid 20s group after Bont.
 
Geelong have not lost a player that they have wanted to keep since 2016 when Cotton On became their major sponsor. The Kelly trade was abased on compassionate grounds. Recruiting meetings are held in the Cotton On boardroom. There is a landscaping company that has the contract for Cotton On and they maintain the farms of 5 or so Cats players for free which is worth $150/200k per year. There has been several instances of cats players selling their houses for a million over reserve to people with links to Geelong and Cotton On. Add to that the well known property deals offered to players just before favourable rezoning is announced….
It will come out eventually but it will take a journo with some investigating skills and a determination to expose this cheating bullshit.
Bring in Mick Warner
 
Just on this. The deal would've seen the dogs cover a small amount of salary over the next 2 years.
If any deal is agreed to for Macrea and/or Daniel it'll include the full contract off of the books.
Glad that Sam Power rejected that offer then
