We hold the cards, not them. Don’t deal on Henry and let him play out the his one year contract offer with us. Worry about it at the end of the season next year.

They'll take it to the draft most likely or possibly look to deal with GWS or Sydney and exchange it for two 1st round selections.
Potentially they could even look to trade pick 7 for Bruhn and GWS pick 12 if they wanted to retain their future 1st.

i disagree, we have put two years into him, and offered a reasonable contract, id reckon the players would be pissed off with his attitude right now, not the clubs.stui magpie wrote:Apparently he was offered a new 1 year contract on more cash and declined, so it's not about money.
There's a fine balance to be walked here between wanting appropriate compensation, pushing back hard enough to make it clear we aren't push overs and pushing back too far and sending him to the draft.
IMHO doing the latter sends the message to the players that we don't care about them as people, just commodities
clearly, if he really wants Geelong, and they really want him, playing hardball is the way to go. whats he worth to them? im also sick of the fricken cats amazingly being able to squeeze in all this banner players.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
First round draft who has with 2years under his belt & improved a lot in second year. He’s upside is huge. Forget his lack of pressure ( he didn’t want to be at Collingwood). This kid is going to be a gun.
Deal should be 1st rounder + 2nd rounder. Collingwood sends Henry & 3rd rounder back.
Otherwise walk to the roos. Nothing to do with treating players as pple or commodities. This is big business now.
