AFL (non-Swans) off-season moves - 2022 edition

[gloveski]

I reckon the AFL will try and prevent Bowes and pick 7 getting to the Cats. It’s a bad look in a premiership year.

Endless dollars down at the cattery the list of potential incoming players is astonishing

Henry
Brahn
Bowes
mckenna

3 former first round picks and one of the best half backs from a few years ago .
Imagine if Sydney were trying to pull this off , we would be banned for ten years

Ridiculous. Anyway, if I am Collingwood, sadly in need of forward craft, I'd dig in and say no to trading Henry. He's gonna be a star.

The Geelong sombrero now bigger than ever. They'll come out and tell us next week that Selwood was on $2 million a year hahaha

Pies have offered Henry a low contract extension, probably because of the cap squeeze. Geelong boy then eyes the wealth on offer at the Cattery and sticks his hand up for some of that. Pies have precipitated the requested move.

He's also looking at Ash Johnson, who took was preferred in the team in the back-end of the season, plus the Pies (slightly strange, IMO) decision to target McStay during the free agency period, and realises he'll have to fight for a spot in the Pies team.

Whether he gets many opportunities at Geelong is another matter. It may, in part, depend on how long Gary Rohan keeps going. But while Rohan's possession/goal contribution to the Cats team is inconsistent, he does at least chase and apply pressure. Stuff I've read from Pies fans suggests that Henry (and Ash Johnson) aren't too keen on the pressure stuff.

Essendon is apparently going to announce Brad Scott in the next 24 hours as coach.

He only applied for the job on Tuesday, and did one presentation, and I suuspect there's been bugger all due diligence done.

Now, I think he did a good job at a struggling club with a just ok list. But to race to such a monumental decision is exactly why Essendon are such a crap club in the first place.

Essendon has a long history of taking short cuts, the drugs scandal was only the most recent, they have also been caught and penalised more times than any other club for salary cap breaches.
The intellectual property that Brad brings from his previous job at the AFL should not to be completely discounted as a factor in his appointment to the Essendon job.
What a rubbish club.

I hear GWS 's tanner bruan is going to Geelong. He was selected with the best pick they got when Jeremy Cameron went to Geelong.
Extreme!

And Horne-Francis has requested to go home. Norf should say a flat no, but they won’t exist as a club in 10 years.

Personally, I think North should trade him out as long as they receive something decent in return. A predicted early pick this year and next is probably enough. This player has shown he is not interested in staying from Day One. There have also been question marks over his training standards and professionalism. Better to get rid of him for something decent in return. A bad egg for North.

Just breaking on AFL trade radio - McKay 7 year deal at Carlton.

It is good that Carlton have so many players on $200 a week and a slab of beer. Their Salary cap is endless.

The clincher for Harry was knowing that the Blues will never make the finals and he'll be able to fit in an extra month as
an Uber driver to help make ends meet.

Norf should move JHF for Port's pick 8 and next years first. He's never been settled, shown bad body language and arguing with team mates on the field. Could turn quite toxic if they knock back a trade.

Enough muck happening at Norf with no coach, best just wipe the slate clean, take two first rounders and run.

[i'm-uninformed2]

There’s a bit of this that Norf has brought in itself by being crap.

But if I’m Norf, I want more than 8 plus maybe 12 next year (I expect Port to improve next year). There’s a quantum leap between a pick 1 and player around 10.

The kid is seriously elite. In his draft year, he was BOG in SANFL finals, and that’s the best non AFL league in the country. He’s got special talents both on ball and up forward.

Port will be setting up their midfield for a decade with him, Rozee and Butters, plus some of their other young talent. Norf should demand they pony up accordingly and go find at least one more top five pick to go with something else around 8-10.
