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

[Pure_Ownage]

how many spots do Coll have... they seem flush with picks.

Only about 5 i think but cox could still be delisted.

 

[Shadow89]

You'd think Brander already has a likely destination.

Hawks most likely IMO - with their shocking forward line

's Alumni might be on our radar with our last pick or most likely a Rookie list spot.
Captain, character and plenty of upside... A Sacred Heart of sorts?

Or that we have looked long and hard at 24yo midfielder from the West, whilst we were checking up on the Schlong during the year??

Even closer to home a Saint Pat's kid that has uncanny abilities similar to a Giant Toby??

Players not on any radar what so ever, or with little media attention.

Wells Specials!

 

[PeasFC]

If he is someone we think can play KPD, otherwize ..can he become a mid? Just how much is a lack of opportunity and how much a failure to meet the level.

I don't mind taking brander and schlensog as DFA's.
Means our youth looks more solid back and forward leaving the mids as the key area of focus!

Stewart and Cameron still 4 years in their prime. With...
O'Connor, Zuthrie, Stevens as small defenders.
Henry, SDK & Schlensog as talls.
Neale & Tsapa as ruck options.
Esava, Brander as talls.
Stengle, Evans, Close, Miers as smalls.

mids: just parfitt, stephens, holmes at the moment.

I think by adding Stenlge, Brander and Schlensog we get to prioritise finding our mids at the draft for the next two years before maybe looking at free agency or even a trade to bring in some more a-grade potential types.

 

[foodles05]

You did very well last year, so I'm looking forward to what you come up with this year

Biggest need is speed from the midfield, key defender and a rebounding half back. Guys I like around our mark are Matthew Roberts, Zac Taylor, Campbell Chesser, Marcus Windhager, Sam Butler, Mitch Knevitt, Leek Alleer, Tom Brown and Oscar Morrison.

Good luck!

Can't come in to Leek Alleer. Athletically he is super gifted but not sure I trust his disposal at the highest level at all. Not sure I trust his ability to learn to be a decent kick even. Don't think he is a player we need on our list anyway from a list management perspective. I try not to get too seduced by straight athleticism but boy oh boy does he have that in spades

 

[Shadow89]

Gotta admit, this is probably the strongest crop of possible DFA's that I've seen in a very long time.

Off the top of my head, these are all players worthy of consideration for a second shot, IMO:

Brander
Schlensog
Woodcock
Dumont
Hore
Naish
Garthwaite
Gleeson
Lienert
Eggmolesse-Smith
M. Ling
Gibbons
Sier
Cavarra
Lonie
Taheny (us)
Constable (us)
Rantall
Cousins

...and these are just the players from clubs that have delisted players of note. Still plenty of clubs left/list finalizations to be completed.

Just goes to show how the list squeeze/caps, is/are pushing out players who formerly would have been near guarantees to stick around

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

If he is someone we think can play KPD, otherwize ..can he become a mid? Just how much is a lack of opportunity and how much a failure to meet the level.

He's an interesting prospect as the Eagles have never played him as a 3rd tall forward.
At 195 and 92kgs he's a big unit and sees himself as a forward - maybe too big for a mid although he does have a tank as evidenced by playing wing in the limited games he's played in the 1's. He's been serviceable in that role.
Eagles mates rate him and see his career as being botched so far with them - Allen and Waterman seem to be ahead of him as 3rd tall forwards.
He's tempting but only as a tall forward IMHO.

 

[Cat Addict]

yo how do Richmond have pick 7. Did they pillage Gold Coast for a future pick like what we did or something?

The missed finals dude

Aaron vandenBerg, Brendon Ah Chee, David Zaharakis, Dom Tyson, Hamish Hartlett, James Cousins, Jarrod Cameron, Kaiden Brand, Levi Casboult, Mark Hutchings, Matt Buntine, Michael Hartley, Reece Conca, Tom Lynch.

 

[Down at K Park]

If he is someone we think can play KPD, otherwize ..can he become a mid? Just how much is a lack of opportunity and how much a failure to meet the level.

He wants to go somewhere that will play him as the 3rd tall.

 

[Nest of Cats]

You'd think Brander already has a likely destination.

Hopefully with us!
Would be worth a spot.

 

[Shadow89]

Aaron vandenBerg, Brendon Ah Chee, David Zaharakis, Dom Tyson, Hamish Hartlett, James Cousins, Jarrod Cameron, Kaiden Brand, Levi Casboult, Mark Hutchings, Matt Buntine, Michael Hartley, Reece Conca, Tom Lynch.

Mmm more was going for younger guys who are worthy of a second shot (26 or less).

Hutchings, Zaharakis, Hartlett, Hartley, Conca, Casboult, Buntine, Tyson and Brand, Ah Chee too old/too injury prone.

vandenBerg and J. Cameron, retired.

Lynch already moving to North as a player coach.

Cousins, the one from that list that I forgot and I'd look at

 

[Turbocat]

He wants to go somewhere that will play him as the 3rd tall.

Sounds like we should keep looking

 

[Turbocat]

He's an interesting prospect as the Eagles have never played him as a 3rd tall forward.

He's tempting but only as a tall forward IMHO.

We have enough areas of obvious need without looking to try to find a way to wangle him in.

 

[calder_daddy]

I reckon it might depend who is available on the night.

Agree with that. I could see a live trade happening.

Could see a live trade with someone else but won’t be for pick 23 from the dogs.
Pick will be chewed up.

Im actually starting to think we will use 4/5 picks on the night.

A good starting place for VFL list id have thought.

 

[Hamingja]

I'd be happy to take Schlensog back. Was coming from a mile back when drafted and then didn't get much of a chance because of COVID and the list reductions. With his height he is the sort of guy that can be developed to play on the 200+ players that either Henry or Kolo don't have the size for.

 

[catempire]

Yes I just meant I expect to hold our current hand and to trade on the night of a good opportunity presents.

There are legit 4/5 players here who are much better than some on our list

 

[year of the cat]

A bird in the hand? What happens if Bulldogs trade pick 23 to someone else and a group of players we like get taken between it and our next pick? I’m more inclined (if the price isn’t prohibitive) to just get it over and done with. Someone will jump if we don’t.

He's tempting but only as a tall forward IMHO.

If we got brander id be looking at him as either a 3rd tall fwd-rohan should be phased out soon,or as a key back.

 

[David the Cat]

For what its worth, this Board ranked Selwood 4th in the MVP voting over season 2021.

The silly season in full swing now.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

The problem is that we'll likely only have 4 list spots after Stengle so adding Brander and Schlensog means we can of draft 2 mids. I think mids is the problem we have so mids are what we need to spend 4 picks on

Currently we have 6 senior list spots so we could add stengle and a tall as dfas and still take 4 picks.

 

[thejester]

So Rumours... Anyone have any??

Heard anything of an Andrew Mackie's Alumni might be on our radar with our last pick or most likely a Rookie list spot.
Captain, character and plenty of upside... A Sacred Heart of sorts?

Yeah I read the description of him on the AFL website and immediately thought he ticked a lot of boxes on the Wells checklist.
