Rumour GFC 2019 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists PT 2

[Chinacats]

Tom morris on the fox trade show don’t rule out the cats for Josh Jenkins really late when Ralphy was saying there was absolutely zero interest in the AFL for him.

Not fussed but we simply don’t have a list spot for him

Don’t want him. He is an over the topper goal square player! Effin panic trades to keep us in the 8!

 

[Shai]

I wouldn't either btw. I'd take Flanders.

No, I wouldn't take Flanders at 1 either, I'd take Green.

 

[cats_09]

When did Wells first advise that we won't be chasing a ruck this trade period as the ones we were interested in available?

Only reason I ask is because Tom tweeted this 7ish - so either he's bored or maybe thinks he's smarter than everyone else & knows something is happening in the background

 

[Hamingja]

Was just looking up Jack Steven to refresh my memory on his stats and was surprised that he played 0 games in his first year, 1 in his second and 8 in his third. After that he was away! Think we’re all guilty of forgetting how long it takes kids to develop! (unless your name’s Joel!)

Edit spelling

Ross Lyon not exactly known for promoting youth....

That is one of those tweets you look at and think, man you have literally nothing else to say right now

 

[Turbocat]

i wonder if we were one of the clubs?

Seems a prime candidate for a PreSeason trade ..if they intoroduce the preseason trade period..

 

[cats_09]

That's pretty much what every response was - someone even offered to pay for him to go on holidays on the promise he would put his phone away and not talk about football until March

 

[CatToTheFuture]

IMO Preuss is stronger and more aggressive than anything we've had at Geelong in the last 8 years; He's Mumford but taller and a better tap ruckman.

So you're saying he's better than 'not great' and also not permanently injured?

 

[Turbocat]

Totally agree with this. A wise old hand at the draft once told me. Usually 1, maybe 2-3 standouts. Then there is 30 kids who can all play. Clubs, pick them all apart and apply a ranking but reality is, you will find it hard to seperate these 30 until they land at their clubs. Then it comes down to a little bit of luck. Buy more tickets.

Applies this year for sure.

 

[Turbocat]

I like this new Wells. All said while he was sitting next to Gallagher too.

Lets just see what we have in our hand post the draft... atm Im liking the groove. Its almost like the have their finger on the pulse of some supporters ...

 

[MelbCat]

I'd rather bottom out for a year or two then just be around the 8. Load up and go for another 10yr run

 

[Turbocat]

I agree. Big pre-seasons and we’ll see them vying for some senior footy next year. Both have ability

Most of the kids drafted have ability ...do they have that something special to separate them from the clammering hoard all striving for their chance. Its like Simpson... maybe he gets a chance if we have a few less mature type in our side... but we bring in a Steven or two ..and he probably has another hurdle to jump. So Jarvis and Kennerly ..where do they fit ..

 

[Larry Donohue]

Maybe Wells can get in on the Essendon/Sydney debacle
Sydney get pick 9 from Carlton for Papley, pick 14 and 24 and future first (WC)from Geelong
Essendon get Pick 9, 14 and a future 2nd from Sydney for Daniher
Geelong get pick 6 and Sam Reid
This gives us a serious KPF who is mobile with great hands and stops a Jenkins to Geelong possibility
Gives us pick 6, 17, 36, Reid and Steven
Potentially, Flanders, Kemp and Riccardi

Kennerley looks ideally suited on a wing. It’s not like we have too many outside wingers for him to compete with just now. If he can bulk up a bit more this pre-season then I think he should aim for a handful of games in 2020.

Jarvis was drafted as a medium forward/mid. Further behind than Kennerley but I think he could potentially debut next year. Rohan and Gary won’t play 22 games. Might be an opening there.

 

[Turbocat]

Wouldn't mind Dekoning with P36/37.

He has been mentioned far earlier than that ..but that would be a reasonable range ...

The way SW answered the Kelly replacement question it would seem we will draft at least 2 mids..which to me mean we will look at other types as well.

OK ..but if we draft someone like Sharp who gets a go.. ?


Not knocking them at all ... id have Brownless ahead of both atm ...but if we bring in matures or if we are not proactive in =giving them as shot they will probably just be another bad luck story..

Whoever has the best form.

Where do you see Brownless playing? Inside mid?

 

[Cronin]

So you're saying he's better than 'not great' and also not permanently injured?

I'm saying he could be the ruckman that we've been looking for.... but it won't happen.

 

[Cronin]

Your opinion and that's fine, I don't think so 'shrugs'.

Which part do you not agree with?

 

[Turbocat]

Flanders is the kid that we're apparently after. Clearance machine that can go forward and kick a goal. Will be likely taken in the first 5 picks.

he would be ideal.. start him on the wing ... give Simpson a go on the other

 

[Turbocat]

Even if I had 1, I wouldn't take Rowell but that is just me, we all look at different aspects.

Gee ..I couldnt say his name quick enough

 

[Turbocat]

GWS are hoping to get a pick in before the Green bid. Hence they want pick 3. If they aren't after the same player as us then there's no need for us to bust our balls to get pick 3 - we can trade for 4 or more likely 5 instead.

They just need to get infront of Sydney ..I dont think others call the name..but they get earlier and and Young and Green .. sounds like Kermit as a kid

 

[year of the cat]

What about the WB who need Picks under 24 for Keith and Bruce

13 & 32 for 17 & 24.

Leave us with 13, 14, 32, 36 and Steven. They should get Bruce for 17 and Keith for 24.

I’m not sure losing 24 in this draft for just jumping up 4 places in the teens in this draft is worth it. Would rather keep our picks in this scenario. I think we either go for a pick in the top 5 or leave things as is other than to potentially trade up 36 and 37 together if we don’t get Steven.

 

[Leeds17]

He’s really not just that, you don’t average 2 goals a game for half a decade without being a bit better than “over the topper goal square player”.

 

[year of the cat]

Simpson has been unlucky hasn’t he? Particularly this year. I like the look of him but does he get enough of the footy?
