Rumour GFC 2020 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt2

[cats_09]

WARNING TO ALL VISITORS TO THE GEELONG BOARD. You are - for the most part - welcome to discuss the current list management & trading situation at Geelong. However, this is our board, so be respectful of the home board posters & don't inflame arguments (make your points succinctly and move on). And if you're just here to troll, then don't bother or you will be enjoying a holiday

people thinking Collingwood are fools for trading their first next year should quickly be reminded that they have young daicos coming through who will be a top 5 pick, so they will accumulate some 2nd rounders next year and be fine

 

[Gee Class Loco]

He really wasn't worth a Future 1st though...our Future 1st was worth Collingwood's Pick 17 easily...could even have tried trading with GWS. Just insane that we would make that much of an effort to trade up when it wasn't the Geelong through and through kid.

Love Wells and trust him most of the time, but this one I just don't understand.

Obviously Wells didn’t rate Ollie as high as BigFooty scribes. Saw him up and close to make that call and said pass... Cheer up buddy

Our strategy of late reminds me of instant gratification.

Last couple of years, traded away early picks for players, then I've thought, right next year we will draft some kids......get cameron, Higgins, smith...oh okay, well next year we will draft some kids.......Geelong trades Rd1 2021 pick for Rd1 2020.

I'm not criticizing, all of this has fulfilled my need for instant gratification over the last few years. Will see what happens.

Gees wells has just taken a massive dump on all the posters who said it was fine to give up 3 first round picks for cameron cos this draft was way worse then next year.

We never had a chance to pick him as collingwood wouldnt have traded down with us. They were adamant about trading into this draft not out of it.

Not just a couple of years. We have been doing that since around 2012 when we went after mcintosh, caddy and rivers. Then clark, stanley, danger, smith, selwood, henderson, touhy, dalhaus, crameri, ablett, rohan etc.

Little known Victorian Max Holmes is poised to be one of the shocks of the top 25 after gaining interest from multiple AFL clubs.

Foxfooty.com.au understands Richmond (Pick 17), Melbourne (Pick 18 and 19), St Kilda (Pick 21) and Hawthorn (Pick 24) are among the clubs eyeing-off the dashing midfielder at the pointy end of the draft, despite the Melbourne Grammar product being virtually unseen on the football field.

The St Kilda supporter has played just a handful of AFL games in the last 24 months, with COVID-19 shutdown and a broken arm in 2019 restricting his output.

However, the 189cm running machine has caught the eye with the exponential output in recent times.

Holmes smashed the 20m sprint at the recent Victorian combine, running an elite time of 2.8s, also running a 6:25 on the 2km time trial. He is the son of Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Olympic 400-metre runner Lee Naylor.

DRAFT PROJECTION: Late-Rookie

That's what AFL draft central had him at - hence why barely any of us had heard of him...and we gave up a Future 1st in a stronger draft for him.

Don't care what anyone says, this is not a good move, and I can see a Lang, Thurlow, Smedts, scenario happening here. Other clubs might have been interested, but he's an athlete and a development player - not a footballer. That's why he should have gone later

****, this shit is so slow, hurry the hell up!!

Our kid basically has 2 years to train and develop. You can nurture football and skills, physical attributes are natural.

I think the selection works on a lot of levels, but the trade price just seems enormous

fu**, this sh*t is so slow, hurry the hell up!!

Chop chop

Yep drafting Stephens and SDK in the first round last year was all about the now

 

[calder_daddy]

and 51?

Around pick 45 but that’s a pure guess

We still have Cooper and SDK who haven't played yet

That’s if we use it, if not it doesnt really matter

No one knows where anyone is going because no one, including recruiters, know anything about 50% of the draftees.

Trading future draft capital is a huge strategic error. Hope I'm wrong on this.

So we should choose players by lotto then? Sack wells Unless he knows how to cheat at lotto.

The guy we picked doesn't scream instant gratification to me. Seems like an attempt to pick the future athlete, just hope he can kick a football.

 

[Tristan34]

Dunno why people melt.. Half these guys in the top 20 wont make it anyways... Its a lottery after the first 5 picks...

 

[gaz love x]

I wonder if we honestly thought someone else was going to take this kid before our next pick. I'm not one to get upset about selecting x or y player because the truth is the draft is a lottery but trading up to get a player we didn't need to trade up for is always frustrating.
