Rumour GFC 2021 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists... Part II

[Jhye Clark 13]

Geelong being Geelong, I think it's just as likely that you can look forward to a seriously melty universe on here when the Cats end up accepting some variation on pure P22.

Put it this way, we'll get more than his worth and we'll get rid of a young player with a poor attitude who has a chip on his shoulder.

It's a win/win.

And if the clubs sees things pretty much as you do, then an underwhelming trade deal is almost guaranteed to set this place alight in coming days.

I think most could live with 22 if it eventuates.

RE: Key position defence.

I think Blicavs will be permanent full back. The absolute horror show in our defence in two of the finals will mean they will want some stability back there. Combined with Henderson going, I think that can be locked in.

So we have Blicavs, Kolo, Henry, plus SDK. I wouldn’t be shocked if Rohan is banished back in preseason. I know it didn’t work at Sydney, but overall he has been a better and healthier player at Geelong than Sydney.

We may need a cheap back up.

Think we should be trying to trade up by combining two of our 30’s picks. End up with 2 picks in the early 20’s.

Rohan's an interesting case for me, as much as hes inconsistent can we really afford to lose 30 goals out of our forward line right now?

Nice reading the last 30 pages on Clark and Ceglar

but what are we doing for another KPD?

We havent been linked to anyone but that doesnt mean its not happening behind the scenes.

 

[Turbocat]

Constable hasn’t finished his yet.

I honestly cant remember him doing well in any of the testing. Form that perspective , not a very geelong pick.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

And if that is true we have Freo over a barrel. They know they have to trade for him. They’ve promised him 4 years. They’ve effectively said they’ll do what it takes to get him. Wells/Mackie are best holding off. Clark and his manager will get anxious and they’ll eventually blink.

Yep..dont back down til we get 19.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Never heard of a player sitting out for a year, that means he doesn’t get paid. Not sure that is going to happen.

? Would be a good cheap pick up if body can hold up good 6-7 years in him.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Yep ... and he went in the main draft at 5... he was no Rookie B pick

I think you might have missed the Big Footy trope here Turbo.

Anyway......

probably , would not be the first time.

Probably has been a crash and burn for all parties.

41+34 for Bulldogs 23 nets them some points

would you flick them a Fr3 to get it?

 

[Vivy]

Found this one interesting from the main board:

"On the Hard Ball Gets podcast today. Clark has already moved boxes of his stuff back to Perth and his car is on a train. He has not enjoyed his time at Geelong and it’s too far gone. Even if he’s contracted, he ain’t going back. He’ll sit a year out."

If any of that is remotely true, then we'll definitely be well rid of Clark - as that would be a pretty petulant attitude to have.

Not gonna lie...getting pretty tired of these WA draftees...different breed over there these days

Interesting. Can't remember a player ever doing that.

What drivel that is. Sometimes I wonder if people hear the things that come out if their mouth.

A 20 yr old foregoing a ~400k contract to sit at home and do nothing. Then expect another AFL club is going to concur with his logic and offer him a long term deal.

This isn't true.

Obviously not directed at you Shadow89

Edit - McCarthy did it. I'm sure Clark wants to follow in those footsteps and Freo want to repeat that mistake

failed at two clubs and 25. The system is not good for him.

 

[catempire]

I remember them saying he tested like Cripps. Oops.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Id rather flick them 41 as we are tight for list spots but id flick that or our future 3rd with clark for 19.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Free agency window closes 5pm today (delisted free agents can still go in a second window before the draft) so expect to see tarrant to richmond today

 

[BigCat1]

We are talking about pick 21 vs 24/25.

It’s splitting hairs but I can’t almost guarantee you that the party with the leverage wins when you’re this close in any negotiation. 99% of the time. Freo will not let a player they have courted go over 2-3 picks in a draft that will probably end up being the same player anyway.

Just be patient. There is a deadline and hopefully Geelong just say nothing for 5 days and this one is real simple. Not confident we will be BUT lately we have been pretty firm. We really need that pick this year.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I remember them saying he tested like Cripps. Oops.

CC was 7min 58sec for 2k at draft which is very slow for a mid (rayner was 7.57 though).

 

[BORIS332]

41+34 for Bulldogs 23 nets them some points

Only 139 points, aka pick 61 - doubt they'd want to do that. It would have to be a significant increase in points like 30 and 32, which would be an extra 400 points.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

41+34 for Bulldogs 23 nets them some points

They might want 32 and 41 which i would do for 23.
