Rumour GFC 2020 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists

[Turbocat]

If we lose Parfitt then we've got a serious problem, both in the sense of culture (we want essential players to want to stay) and of football: he was fantastic on Sunday when the game wasn't going our way, when others with much bigger reputations weren't doing anything like the level of work off the ball.

Brisbane board seems very confident on Cockatoo ... makes sense he teams up with the bloke who had the locker next to his at Geelong.

Can't help wondering whether it's better medical staff that's made the difference to McCarthy, age, or weather. Or some combination of those?

If we lost Parfitt ...it would pull the rug out from under our feet for the dualistic approach ..while no AA kid , he is as good as we have had in the last 4 years.

Cameron is just waiting for us to bomb out then he will tell the world he will be a cat.

Why wait until 23 October? Good news will inspire the lads

 

[Strange Cat]

I don't think Narkle is just a run of the mill player. He's super creative with ball in hand and around the packs.

He will get plenty of game time next year along with all the kids on the list

If he’s still at the club.

Would love Cameron but if I were Cameron I'd chase the $$$ and go Essendon, it's probably his last chance to chase a massive contract offer given his age, he hasn't come from a cellar dweller club and wants a feel of footy finals like Lynch

 

[Strange Cat]

Essendon may have a "warchest" so to speak but they have to get players to actually want to go there, they are a rabble at the moment and are losing some quality players.

This

NM had a war chest for years on end and still couldn’t get anyone

 

[year of the cat]

If we get them ..or not ... if we could work out a way to get to Norths pick we should consider... P2 for P11 & P16. (probably P2 for P14 & P20). but I doubt North do it ... it might take adding players to that as well. Expensive trade.

Sorry, might have missed something. Why would Nth trade their pick 2?

 

[Two Planks]

Cameron is best mates with Devon Smith, wonder if that goes against us.

 

[cats_09]

 

[Leeds17]

Club were a fan of Darcy Parish in the past yeah? Feel like I reminder that.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Surely if he wanted to be at gws he would have signed by now?

He might want to stay but only if they give him X $.

 

[STPer18]

What jumper number do we give to big Jezza?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Zac Merrett must be our number 1 target this year. He would be a great addition to the midfield, elite skills and great work ethic.
Brad crouch is slow, injury prone and a c grade midfielder at best
Shaun Higgins is too old - will be 33 next year

Wellsy, scott must go hard for Merrett.

Wait until he is a free agent next year.

 

[Two Planks]

What jumper number do we give to big Jezza?

Hopefully number 8

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I like Clark , hope the fresh year and no hub life settles... but buy low sell high worked well for Kelly and demonstrates now is the wrong time to let him go... next year has a few more options ..and hopefully JC ..gets into the side and plays well.

I absolutely agree and I assume the club thinks the same. There is nothing either WA club is likely to offer us now that would tempt me to trade Clark this year.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Hopefully number 8

Trading kolo?

 

[year of the cat]

Trading kolo?

Yes please

 

[Kyuss]

What jumper number do we give to big Jezza?

Might see #5 kicking bags again if the Cockatoo rumors are correct.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So .. we see a Crows situation...if the offer doesn't trigger Band1 .. currently what is rumoured is one the edge ..650*5 ... so Ess match .. and Brisbane get it done ?

It's a tricky one..depends what $ are needed for band 1 to be triggered.. Brisbane might offer more money if it means they don't have to trade..same with us and Cameron.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yes please

I doubt it happens but I'm not against it.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If we get them ..or not ... if we could work out a way to get to Norths pick we should consider... P2 for P11 & P16. (probably P2 for P14 & P20). but I doubt North do it ... it might take adding players to that as well. Expensive trade.

North won't do it they want McDonald or Holland's I reckon.

What's the difference in getting 5yrs/1mil and say 5yrs/900k?

Surely you'd forego the 500k to play in a side playing for a flag. I'm sure we could help him get into property development too.

Ess would be throwing more than that at him imo

 

[calder_daddy]

Why would Wells be at the Hub?

Wouldn't think so, lol, he's not really drafting/scouting anyone while our season is still going haha.

Could speak to Wells, tour the ground and facilities, could talk to club heirarchy, and probably be patched in via zoom with Scott and some senior players like Sel and Danger, if need be. 'Tis a futuristic world we now live in

Your both right and have no idea how that even crossed my mind
Been a hard day on the tools

How much?



If Fantasia leaves they have 2mil to spend. It would be wild if they gave him like 1.5mil a year. They can have him for that.
