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

[Spearman]

I hope he's got proof. Otherwise, he's just taken a big bite out of the hand that feeds him his usual scraps... all to get his 10 second soundbite and front page for the next day or so.

One hopes, if/when proven untrue, he gets truly slapped silly in public for it.

 

[BORIS332]

You realise that just because they are the player picked at the number, its doesn't reflect the quality of players available at that number or the quality of clubs they have gone to

It still illustrates my point that the draft is a lottery. Gaz could deliver us a flag next year - I'd rather take that chance than picking a star with p22.

 

[Deep]

There’s a reason we offered pick 51 for Watts and couldn’t do a better deal.

There’s a reason why are out of the Stringer chase, we are going to be giving up pick 19 & 22 for Ablett, I can feel it.

Disastrous trade period for us if it eventuates.

It's already a disaster.

Motlop and Lang out the door for Ablett who is 7+ years older than both these guys

 

[r32godzilla]

Bloody Gold Coast scums. Ablett has given years of good service to those deadbeats. They have a war chest of draft picks. His sister has died and he wants to come home. Ffs stop being pricks and let him come home. Hate those flogs!

 

[CatTricks]

Eagles have just rejected a deal with the Dogs.
Stringer is strung.

Motlop and Lang out the door for Ablett who is 7+ years older than both these guys

and a zillion times better than both of them

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Well that option is now gone.

They still have 36.

 

[DangerHere]

why what did he say...

There was an on field segment with him Frawley and Anthony Hudson, and Healy called them the Gold Coast Cxxts ...

I thought it was a slip of the tongue but obviously not

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Eagles have just rejected a deal with the Dogs.
Stringer is strung.

Stringer stuck there unless we want him and he wants us.

 

[Strange Cat]

****ing scums on the GC in glee about the possible trade 19-22 for Gaz, I’m furious that it has got to this stage for a 34 year old player.

I hope we just walk away and support Ablett when he moves back home.

 

[CatTricks]

Stringer stuck there unless we want him and he wants us.

DOn't rule out Carlton.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

I can only think that they want 19 or 22 and we don't want to give it up. Otherwise a deal would have been done.

Yep, they're my thoughts too.

I wouldn't be surprised if future picks are involved...

 

[Turbocat]

One could say its all a lottery ... did you see Celtics today... their new recruit lasted 5 minutes. One has to try to calculate risk and reward...and no doubt there is a better chance of immediate reward with Ablett than a P22..

 

[Fyre]

I suspect that, while in his moment of blood rage over FA compensation, he made these comments without fully thinking through the ramifications.

Unless he is right and Geelong trade 19 for Ablett. If they trade 22, he will claim he was right because they had 19 to "fall back on".

I'm hoping for the double positive. Ablett for 35 and Purple disappears forever because the AFL kick him out of the circle. A man can dream!.

Dogs will cave wont they.

 

[you pick one]

DOn't rule out Carlton.

Hawthorn,future 2nd.

It has been “suggested / alleged”, it’s easy to use those words in a story without actually having a source.

 

[CatTricks]

Dogs will cave wont they.

Doggies list management staff don't care if they have to hold him for 12 months, so they have said to a few people privately.

 

[CatTricks]

Can everyone stop the melting over a draft pick for Ablett.
It's a draft pick. They are so overrated it;s not funny.
Who ever we select with that pick will be available at our next, it;s how Wells works.
Plus, Ablett is going to be 454935 times the player in comparison.

 

[Strange Cat]

$600k on their books and getting **** all for him next year?

Interesting approach..same with the GC too

So you’re happy if we give up pick 19 or 22 for him

I would be ****ing furious with the club

 

[Grimoz]

Why are we still talking about him anyway, do we really want him, i think we pass no matter what the situation, shit bloke

 

[year of the cat]

We should be able to have both though.

yep. they simply don;t care.

Yeah, I know. Still think that the AFL will still view it as slander if it doesn't come to pass and if that is the case, he needs to be made an example of. As plenty have mentioned, the "reporting" that goes on these days is pure crap. It's all click bait and a race to the "scoop".
