    The new Dodoro, if it’s true he wants more for Esava than he’s willing to pay for Bruhn or Henry
    Was arrogant as a player. Doesn't surprise me.

      All this from the Cats and Freo and Brisbane pulling the low ball trade offers as well.

        With our direct competitors Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane & Port seemingly building stronger lists with the quality of trades they're likely to get done, puts greater pressure on our young list taking that next step next season in order to finish top 4 again. Won't be any easier that's for sure!

          Tanner Bruhn was a top 10 pick, and is probably tracking career wise as a pick 10. He's coming into his prime. Anything less than pick 15 is robbery.

            Think Bruhn was pick 12, the best pick GWS got in the Jeremy Cameron trade. How's that for equalisation at work!

            If I'm GWS, if Geelong's offer is just a 30's pick I'd be making a statement and send him to the PSD, he can't put a silly price on his head because the Cats have no cap space so he won't last past nine other Vic clubs.

              Agreed. He's going to be an excellent player so Geelong should pay up.

              GWS are already a feeder club, and they'll be reduced to junk status if they are continually forced to give away players. I get they need to clean up their list and salary cap, but there's a difference between that and being taken to the cleaners.

                Tanner Bruhn is not part of GWS's cap problem, and I'm sure they'd like to keep him. The Giants have a lot of picks, they dont actually need another pick in the 20's. I agree, let him walk to pre-season.

                  They should just pack up GWS and send them to Tassie. Kill two birds.....

                    Allegedly Geelong and GWS have agreed on a deal for Bruhn - no details yet.

                    I hope us and the other 16 clubs are happy the team that won the flag easily can recruit pretty much who they want. And in the case with Gold Coast get pick 7. This is seriously becoming worse every year.

                    GWS get stripped every year. They draft blokes and develop them then they leave.

                      .... and of course we have the Melbourne footy media fan boys cheering Geelong on talking about how great it is that they "win" every trade.

                        Bruhn to Geelong for pick 18 - insane. I am seriously worried about GWS now - AFL is going to have to throw a ton of cash at them over the next 5-10 years.

                          Next up - Geelong demand every final at their home ground - no matter who they play.

                            And I could easily see the 18 that’s just gone from Geelong to GWS go back to Geelong as part of it splitting pick 7 and GWS moving up, then being used again to get Henry from Collingwood.

                              Well, congratulations to Gill and the team on getting the new broadcast deal, but what a failure they've been on every other front.

                              The whole equalization program and the farcical rookie system where you now get 30 year old rookies, have been totally ignored and getting worse every year. Why does Brad Scott deserve to get a head coaching job after doing nothing all year? Or maybe the Essendon coaching job is punishment for doing nothing all year.

                              I've heard lots of good solutions on this forum alone. Why can't the AFL propose something we can look at?

                              The AFL as a fair national competition is verging on total failure. Something has to be done and fast.

                                Melbourne media not interested in any fairness. The VAFL is a laughing stock of a national comp.
