[Two Planks]

Steven is a lock to come to Geelong. Wells just playing hard to get as St Kilda need to get him off the books to be able to fit in Hill and Jones.

Doesn't matter if he's fat we can put him on Atkins' diet

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So just keeping track:

Gone:
Cunico
Jones
Scooter
Kelly

Grey zone:
Buzza - possibly offered a new contract
Smith - sitting down to figure out where he stands in the coming week
Hendo - most likely a new contract

Assumed ins:
Jack Steven 90% chance
3x kids under 30 - SW stated strategy

And I can't believe HT hasn't retired.

And I can't believe HT hasn't retired.

Was the right time for him to go this year.

Wasn’t Jones on the Rookie list.

Assuming Cunico, Scooter, Kelly, Buzza, ZSmith are gone.

In Steven, Pick 14, pick 16, potential pick 25, 35.

So that is 5 in and 5 out. Doesn’t Zach Guthrie also need to come on. That spells the end for Hendo which to me is ridiculous. Can ZGurhie or Simpson stay on the Rookie list another year. When do you make a call on them as best 22 potential as I don’t see it for years yet and other coming onto the list will get more opportunities than they will. Hendo will be more use than them over the next 12-18 months.

Yeah, but Zuthrie and Simpson upgraded.
So atm that's only 1 list spot, and 3 rookie spots, before Trade Week starts and any other trade/delist news.

 

[Larry Donohue]

I had an email from AFL trade tracker. It mentioned Mason Wood for Jack Henry in a straight swap.

First I'd heard of this.

Do we have too many defenders and want to restore list balance by trading for a mobile forward?

Not sure I like the idea tbh.
Mason Wood is more or less average, and already 26.
Jack Henry is still very young and has room for improvement, plus he is a bit of an athletic beast.

It would make sense, as NMFC are looking to bolster their defence, and Cats are looking to bolster their forward line. Plus we seem to like getting ex-Falcons boys back on the list.
Both clubs seem to do the deals with little fuss.

If they gave Henry up for Mason Wood they'd need their heads read
Henry is a genuine young up and rising talent, Wood is an also ran

People were saying this 12 months ago.

Can they delist and re-rookie. Seriously will either of them see game time anytime soon if ever. I’d be more confident on ZGuthrie but Simpson doesn’t have the size or hurt factor to ever be an AFL player in my opinion.

Good points. We'll need to lose all 3 if we're taking the three in the top 30. I'd wan't to find a way to get Luke Partington onto the list too but we'd need a trade out

3 rookies then. Wonder if Sokol or Riccardi make it to the rookie draft?

And 12 months on he just had one of his better seasons

Don't think that's an option. Simpson did just have a career best season apparently in the 2s but a ways to go yet

 

[Turbocat]

I don't have much time to read this forum anymore.

So.. Has mason woods been mentioned?

Reason I put it forward is this.

I know his dad. Outstanding athletism. Bloomed late at local level.
He's a local.
Sav is starting to look like a blend of Nic Nat and Ryder.

If that develops further, sav to ruck, woods to sav role.
I have no effing idea how we replace hawk.

Won't cost much.

How much is not much?

He is on good money... if we take his dollars it would be a minor pick..

List Management LD style
Out Scoot, Hendo, Smith, Buzza, Cunico, Kelly (to Freo), Z.Guthrie, pick 35 for Steven
IN: Steven, Butler, Simpson (upgrade) Picks 6, 7, 17, 53(best cheap and talented delisted free agent Bennell or Murray)
3 rookies in too 2 best draftees and Mclachlan

I'd think based on Liam Ryan with Pick 26, that Sokol will be gone inside Top 30 at national draft.
Riccardi given the lack of depth in key position talent in U18s, and given that Kreuger went for a Pick 42 exchange Pre National Draft, you'd think would be gone inside Top 45 at national draft.
But just my best guess.

That goes for both, they shouldn't be on the list it's a laugh. I wonder are we serious or handing out favors to a privileged few.

Players like Sokol are available but we elevate Zac and Simpson to the boys club.

Permanent VFL players.

 

[MelbCat]

After hearing Wells on TR with being coy on Steven, something makes me think he may have someone else lined up.

I don't watch much footy other than Geelong, but is Cutler from Brisbane any good? Youngish winger which we could do with

Simpson is ready to be given a run....I'm expecting him to do well..

He sounded almost dead set cold on Steven...

Cutler always reminded me of a off brand Yeo.

 

[Vdubs]

I'm afraid he looks destined to be a very good VFL player. Not quick enough, talented enough or large enough to stake a claim as being a regular selection.
But you may have seen more to him, and I will look forward to it.
