    3 reserves players? Henderson & Selwood should be first 22, Smith not far off either.

      Exactly. I'd be happy if it were us!

        Selwood is a tagger who couldn't get a game in Eagles best 22, Zac Smith couldn't get a game with GC who have recruited Currie to replace him, and Henderson struggled to be among the best in the worst team the AFL has seen this century!

          Agree in general, but in fairness to Selwood, he was going well a couple of years ago, but has struggled with injury the past 2 seasons. Anyway, Geelong needed to get some fresh talent into the team to replace their aging stars. Henderson will probably play forward. They need someone to help out Hawkins. It will be interesting to see how they go next year. They've given up a lot in the draft that could cost them down the road.

            Has any player had such a long period on AFL lists without actually playing more than a handful of games as Currie?

            Think Johnson was traded so as not to upset FA compo, fifth round is rarely used, particularly by GWS who don't pick past second round!

            Be really interesting to see where all the picks end up. Still hoping for two 20s picks for our pick 14.

              He would be a delisted Free Agent so there's no compo for them a la Laidlaw and Derrickx

                It could affect GWS' compo for losing a free agent if they took Johnson as a free agent themselves. Compo works on a net basis. But that's only relevant if GWS were losing someone as a free agent. I don't think it's possible for them to yet. They've not been round long enough to have anyone who could qualify.

                  Are we actually going to be trading in anyone beside Sinclair...
                  or do we need to keep our picks re points allocation for the academy boys....

                    When Harley said "a few things would have to fall in place" when discussing a couple of pick ups, I took that as meaning that no-one was interested in them and their values were low so we would be able to pick them up.

                      I'm with the The Big Cat. Geelong's trade period reminds me of Brisbane's in 2009. I think it'll backfire.

                      Danger aside, the other three cop heavy criticism from their fans. Yet footy world seems to think they're wonderful pick ups.

                        Finally some talk of turning our first round pick into multiple lower picks with a net gain of points.

                            Has M Daw been delisted? What do we think about him? To be honest I haven't seen a lot of North's matches.
