What does Xavier O’Halloran even do. No thanks.

According to this years stats, he’s a poor man’s Garcia.

[Rocco Jones]

XOH tested highly for speed, agility and endurance. Perhaps we we see him playing as pressure forward.

He was also Captain of Vic Metro, so has leadership qualities

What does Xavier O?Halloran even do. No thanks.

According to this years stats, he?s a poor man?s Garcia.

This will be our marquee player in the off-season (should he not go elsewhere) and watch him line up in nearly every game for us in 2025.

Would he bring more than anyone on the fringe right now including the likes of Jack Macrae? The answer is probably no. Pointless.

Sounds more like a VDM replacement. So that should at least make some here happy if that happens.

Dogs fan. Did his acl in his draft year. It'd just be extra depth. No game changer.

I like him. Definitely not a world beater but cracks in and has a good leg. A bit more of polished version of Oscar Baker.

[soupman]

Pretty sure we were into him like 3 seasons ago.

Have tried to pay attention to him a bit more when I watch GWS as a result. He has not stood out.

Basically a similiar standing to Garcia, not really a forward and has been unable to capitalise on the few good midfield chances he has been given.

At least Peatling has shown there is maybe a higher ceiling there.

I'd be reluctant to use a list spot on him, as I don't think he offers anything different and is very much in the Baker Poulter mould of fine but not really a best 22 guy.

One from our mate (I assume)


I have no hope the Cats actually budge here but I like we're shaking the cage a bit. Has a bit of Tom Boyd about it (hopefully a bit longer term than that one though)

You're assuming we're shaking the cage at all based off this one oddly specific post ("selling the idea of him Buss and JOD as the next pillars of our defense" seems like an obvious red flag to me. A strange thing to say and pass off as insider info). I certainly wouldn't be getting your hopes up.

Also, SDK is already a pillar of Geelong's defense so I don't see how selling him the idea of being a pillar in the Bulldogs defense would sway him. What could sway him would be a shitload more money would be my guess... but Geelong's handling of their finances
is already an ongoing topic of discussion so who knows how much would be enough.

I tend to agree it’s a weird pitch. Nothing about Jones, Lobb, Dale etc.

But ‘hey we’ve got a kid who hasn’t played yet and another kid who was playing cricket two years ago who is collecting concussions.’

That’s not selling me much. Has to be about years and dollars.

Perhaps he wants to come home to where his old man played, at Whitten oval? If only Terry played 70 odd more games!

Cal Twoomey reporting Dogs are chasing Xavier O'Halloran from the Giants.

Ex Western Jets boy who has one year to run on his contract.

Given he grew up a Dogs fan, I've kept a particular eye on him when watching GWS games. Unfortunately, he's always seemed a poorly skilled and low output type of player.

I hope we don't get him.

Well they didn't show that this year throwing him into the ruck and not picking him for finals.

I'm not getting my hopes up because he's a contracted player and Geelong are stubborn ****s at the best of times with worse players.
