Rumour GFC 2019 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists.

[00VicWard001]

Fyfe doesn't think so; very keen to get him. Fyfe is superhungry for that flag.

Fyfe should just do a swap with Kelly and come to Geelong. More likely to get a flag with us.

Danger and Fyfe- hungry together...

 

[Shadow89]

They think that no contact = free

Despite the fact that a 'no contract' Treloar went for Pick 7 and a future first...and Kelly is far better than Treloar

 

[Grimoz]

You might want to wait to see who he use the picks on first

Wont matter to me as long as those West Coast flogs drown in tears!!!

 

[Kingsfoil]

Trade radio saying Geelong is giving pick 54 for Jack Stevens

Happy with that.

That’s good business.

#54 for Jack Steven would be the steal of the trade period.

There's every chance he produces output almost at TK levels for another 2-3 years. It's not unrealistic to think he could make an AA squad or two in his time with us, if he's fit and motivated.

If we bank 2x first rounders for TK and draft two quality youngsters - or one youngster and trade for another established player - we will be in good shape both short and long term.

Means that Taylor will likely finish up to free the cap space, or be on a lot less to continue.

 

[CarAttack]

That’s good business.

Depends what we are paying him.
It’s not just what we give up in the trade, salary cap space is just as important.

 

[Catman]

But next week..... ?

Thought the same thing. We all know a week is a long time in footy.

Yep, he needs to start pre-season about now though to be fit enough for round one, he was pretty out of shape in the second half of the season. Good get if he can get his mind right and shed a bit of that weight.

 

[Commando]

Happy with that.

That’s about his value
In his current shape & headspace

Were the rumours about his ‘incident’ with a teammate ever substantiated?

There was plenty said in the rumour files, but nothing substantiated that I'm aware of.

Not really a concern given our departures.

 

[Commando]

Imagine he wins it, and says thanks and goodbye

100% won’t win it
The club will have known for ages he’s leaving

 

[Pollywaffle]

Not really a concern given our departures.

Who have we definitely got rid of that's on big coin, or are you assuming some other players will be out (Ablett, Taylor, ....Henderson...PlayerX...?)

Well given we have offered Kelly circa $800k that’s the first saving you can lock in. I think Harry will retire too so that’s ~$500k.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Harry likely to retire at the Carji - still not enough players delisted yet for my liking.

 

[fpm84]

Scooter was reportedly on circa $450k when he signed his three year contract, too.

 

[Two Planks]

Zac Smith would have been on $400k

 

[BORIS332]

100% won’t win it

If he’s already out the door then it’s good for us if he wins it, adds more value at the trade table.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I imagine Steven will come on a similar sized contact to Scott Selwood. Zac Smith and Henderson would be in decent money too considering their age and both could leave. Throw in maybe Taylor and Ablett along with J Selwood and Hawkins likely dropping down the pay scale and we should have no issues with the cap. Probably trying to keep space to have a big go at Cameron next year.

 

[winty]

Like to hear this....

Inside midfielder Charlie Constable struggled for game time in 2019 and was limited to seven matches, but won't be leaving.
"We had a good conversation with Charlie the other day. He wants to stay, so he's staying," Wells said.

Cats' list shuffle: Star Saint destined to join, big man's future in doubt

Geelong list manager Stephen Wells says Jack Steven is a 'good chance' to be in Cats colours next season

All Australian Hawk would be stiff to get a pay chop.

Who do you like in the WAFL .... After the success of Kelly and Pickett ..id think the wafl will get a hard look this year
I saw a name that I haven't seen for a while .. Yyler Keitel ... I remember him back in his draft year thought he had a chance yet still in the wafl..

Hi Turbocat
I'm not as close to the WAFL scene as I was 4 years ago when my son was playing Colts , I also coached Year 12 then and knew a few boys who were drafted.
I'd say Marlion may pave the way for a guy like Jye Bolton who is also 27 and very talented , Horsley is a gun but too old and Schloite is also talented but I think he's lost his edginess by being overlooked several times.
Keitel was very stiff not to be drafted as an 18yo - most key talls were also kept on the shelf that year including Jack Cripps ( Paddy cousin).
Keitel is a good size , excellent set shot and has played ruck so he's versatile. He'd be 23-24 so would be worth a rookie spot as a key forward prospect to fill a need.
I'm sure there are others but as I said I'm not that close to it these days
