Rumour GFC 2017 Player Trading, Drafting, FA, Rumours, and Wish lists - PT2

[Cataholic]

Agree. The only reason they haven't announced it is they must be concerned the bombers can't make it happen... although it's still a little unusual for the doggies list management to talk to wells yesterday...

Why would they do that I wonder?

 

[Cronin]

Garbage. Easy call. He's not big or physical enough to play key position. It's been the knock on him since 16 and the reason he was taken very late in the draft. They are trying to find a possie for him because he's a really good footballer. It's not he clubs fault. I think they are doing a good job in developing him

Developing to do what exactly?
Was he not drafted to play KPD because if he was then he should be playing it now.

BTW, here's a size comparison for you only Rance is being played in his best position.

Alex Rance - 27yo
194cm
96kg

Jack Kolodjashnij - 22yo
193cm
94kg

I've heard an awful whisper that the Gaz deal is for Lang AND pick 20

I'll be filthy if that is the case.

Swans have offered Watts huge coin as well apparently

Has to be something coming with Gaz too

He was drafted coz he can play. He was overlooked so many times on draft night coz he will never be a KPD.

I can't have a discussion if u think Kolo can be Rance b/c of two stats. Matty Scarlett was 192cm from memory. The club and Kolo are doing the best they can to find a spot for all the strengths he has.

 

[catempire]

I heard that we're also paying Lang's wage and Gaz isn't taking much of a pay cut.

Re: Gardner, isn't he contacted for next year?

Where has the delisting Gardner come from?

Isn't Duncan also part of the trade?

There's no evidence that suggests Jake Kolodjashnij can't be a great CHB for this club, infact for me the evidence points to him having all the attributes to playing CHB;
- Mobile
- Good size
- Good overhead mark but also has the ability to spoil

Matthew Scarlett is the perfect person to coach him for that position and I think he'd be wasted anywhere else.

What about the facts he has zero awareness and makes terrible decisions. Would be shocked if he was anything more than a fringe player ever in his career.

According to himself in the Addy he has re-signed.

Yes he is contracted until 2018.

We are not that stupid that would be insanity unless it was say lang and 20 for gaz and 24 etc.

Swans dont have the money for Watts unless they offload Tippett onto someone (he is contracted until 2020) and if you listened to Connors interview yesterday it does really sound like Watts probably wants to stay in Victoria.

 

[The rabbi]

I too would be very surprised if Gardner is delisted. I have seen him play quite a few good games - some on experienced AFL listed forwards.
I also suspect he has a contract but I am not sure.

Gardner is contracted until 2018. He was offered an extra year earlier in the year.

 

[Spearman]

According to himself in the Addy he has re-signed.

Why should we believe him?
Nobody believes Duncan.

Agree.

I also think his ball use by foot is one of our sides better. When he spent the last half of the year on the wing he showed a real ability to hit F50 targets and not flop it up to Valhella like our other mids.

No idea why Kolo get criticised as much as he does.

 

[nananana catman]

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the deal to get Gaz back.

But surely we get something back and not JUST Ablett.

Hall?

If it is Gaz and Rory Thompson I'd almost be willing to pay that

Gotta bitch about someone

It's gotta be Lynch

 

[Boxhead_31]

SEN reporting Watts interest has grown and has quite a few more suitors now.

The Geelong effect.
"They are interested in him, we better take a look at him."

 

[MaybeItsGreg]

Troy Menzel’s been delisted apparently? I thought he was gonna be a star. I wonder what went wrong.

 

[The rabbi]

Gotta bitch about someone

Mackie has retired and Shannon Byrnes has been gone for a while now.
We have to have a player to scapegoat. That's how it works at Cats/Bigfooty.
Isn't it?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Hall?

This was my thought too. I hope not though hall is lazy.

Only problem is Jake gets the holding the man frees paid against him but Rance doesn't
