Do we want a player who is just hanging around for 2 years?, until the big pay day who has his mind somewhere else and wont be fully committed who we put more devlopment time into then fecks off and we get some crap compo pick in a weak draft knowing our luck. Id rather trade him out now to the highest bidder and develop the next TDK than waste time getting him cherry ripe for Geelong. He can go to Essendon or Stkilda and they can pay us properly....
Forget word on the street for a moment, my own mail is that he loves the club and prefers to stay, it's up to to the club. What I read into that is that they are looking at trading him now (which he knows) rather than losing him to FA now (which they dont know for sure that he will go, he may choose to stay long term). Its all a bit of a mess if you ask me. My preference would be to try and keep him for 2 and hopefully we fire up and he stays longer. If he has to leave, his preference is Geel for obvious reasons and its here that I feel Curly's Boy will cave in and we will end up with dregs off Geel (again).
My own preference if we have to trade his is to Syd involving Papley or Heeney.
