The staggering question is this:
Q. "Hey Ollie Henry, why don't you move to Geelong and still play for Collingwood"?
A. Cat got your tongue?

Tay Adams was from down there, but he's given his heart and soul for Collingwood.
And our last Premiership Captain , Nick Maxwell, was from Geelong and went to school at St Joey's which is the major Cat nursery. On the other hand, neither Tay nor Maxy had a big brother starring for Geelong.

Geelong didn’t want Maxy either, we rookied him and he worked his butt off to play… and Geelong still didn’t rate him and I distinctly remember Maxy getting bagged as playing “above himself” and he was an average player

Yes the scumbag Scarlett was the main agitator in that I believe.

Yep. Even when Maxy was a premiership captain the handbaggers mocked him. Hence my hatred of their arrogant club ever since.

The Henry deal is easy
Henry to Geelong
Pick 7 from Suns (via Bowes deal) plus Jeremy Cameron to Collingwood
Simple as that

This should be a lesson to Collingwood.Never ever recruit a player from the Geelong area.That place has a mystical hold over everyone who comes from there.They just can’t wait to get back there,it seems.

Let’s add Matt Rendell to the list of clowns rolling through Collingwood’s list management crew in the last decade. Made the mistake of listening to him on trade radio.
A) can hardly construct a sentence
B) him laughing at how funny he is doesn’t make for great radio
C) can’t understand the Grundy trade (he’s a list manager apparently - if he doesn’t understand it he must be a moron) - it’s ok for the rest of us to scratch our heads…
D) North should offer Ollie Henry $600k a year for 5 years!! Wtf?
Also a known Collingwood hater. Flog.

Just saw Hawkins talking about Oli on the news. Made my blood boil. We gotta keep him.

Surely the part where we’re paying Hill a lot more money than we were prepared to offer Henry is a crock of shit?
