SOS said he has had 2 years of development put in him so that increases his market value.
I wouldnt walk him to the draft but I hope Geelong get a bit windy and end up throwing us a future first rounder hopefully.
Henry will be a ripper I reckon, so hope we get a good deal at least or keep him.
He might want to go to Geelong, but every other club now knows that he is available, and can make their own offers as well

I know theres the home grown country living style but cheaper accommodation deals should get factored into the salary cap.
Much the same or opposite to how Sydney have a higher salary cap, Geelong should have their side offers investigated or simply have their salary cap lowered.
geelong is not much cheaper than ,melbourne, a lot of the players live in the costal resort towns, unless your talking toorak, it doesnt apply! and my melbourne rates for a larger house/land are cheaper than my holiday house!
but yes, im betting the y pay under the table. frank costa was an areshole, well hated by a lot of rate payers, me included!

I know its fanciful but for all my teenage years to now Im sick of seeing Geelong in the finals and its not a cyclical thing either.
They get Braun and Henry and away they go again.
Can Collingwood players take a paycut so we can dominate for the next 40 years please ?
Frustrated sorry but not sorry.
Sure - I understand the frustration.
Remember though that neither Henry or Bruhn were in the best 22 at the end of the season. Cats also lose someone like Selwood - so not sure getting these two locks them in for 2 or 3 more flags either.

He’s younger and fitter than us, David. He could probably do it in 2.5
