Rumour GFC 2022 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists PT2

[Jemaine]

FR2 to Gold Coast , Fr1 one for Bruhn, P1 for Henry and take 7 to draft. ... and our first pick in 2023 is GWS R2

Jeez that's not too bad, can't see GWS being too far above the bottom four.

 

[fpm84]

So - pick 7.

Split to get Henry and Bruhn done, or take it to the trade and trade #18 and F1?

 

[Turbocat]

Crazy what one year can do for a guy. Gold Coast just love to mismanage their player

12 months ago, 23 years old, pick 10, 78 career games, expected future games 160
Now, 24 years old, 83 career games, expected future games 60

Lets hope he follows 2mp. ... comes out and wins a B&F

 

[thejester]

This year? Was in and out injured all year, but prior to this year, played 79 games over the course of 5 years - so an average of around 16 games a year. Not too shabby for mine.

There's absolutely stuff to be excited about, and it's not like Gold Coast have a great track record on when to hold and when to fold. But the pattern for this kind of stuff is we spend all summer pumping these guys and then get irate because they're not the second coming of Polly Farmer.

 

[Shadow89]

Oh and if everyone was wondering why I'm spruiking Bowes so much - it's because I essentially see him as a Duncan clone - who has basically been in my Top 3 players for the last half a decade. 187cm, can play defence and mid, elite kick, racks up possession, balanced on the inside and outside...he's basically a 24 year old Duncan, haha

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We will split Pick 7 with someone like GWS for two late first rounders which will be on traded for Henry and Bruhn. Our future 2nd Round will go to Gold Coast for Bowes and pick 7. So essentially we receive Henry, Bruhn and Bowes for our future 2nd round pick! And we keep our 2022 and 2023 first round picks. Genius.

The other option as i suggested above is we use our future 1st and second for bruhn and bowes, later picks for future 2nd somewhere and draft at 7.

But yes we could do 7 for say 15 and 19 (19 goes for henry and 18 bruhn and keep 15 for draft plus our future 1st) or say 12 and bruhn for 7 then 18 henry and keep our future 1st. So theres options..depends on how much we value 7 over a future 1st.

Nah I'm not in that camp. I've watched him for a long time, and I know he's quality. He won't be the difference like a Jez or Danger, but he absolutely will make our side better and play 200+ games if he stays fit, IMO

 

[catman2006]

I would like to see us trade pick 7 for future 1st rd pick, that's if we get 7

 

[fpm84]

The Cats expect the 24-year-old to push for an inside midfield berth after a strong summer campaign.

But the sweetener is pick 7, which Geelong will keep to use on a top-end talent in this year’s draft.

If we take #7 to the draft, I expect #18 for Ollie to get done really quickly.

what he ilike on the setshot. One of the the things I love about Mitch is he is a good kick than convert. Under appreciated.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Bowes has arguably chosen the hard road, rather than the easy way out.

He was getting his 1.6m regardless of where he played his footy but has chosen our culture and no guarantees of a regular game over being closer to best 22 at the Hawks and Dons. Respect.

 

[Whiskers]

How bloody good is life at the moment? Haha

 

[Turbocat]

I would like to see us trade pick 7 for future 1st rd pick, that's if we get 7

But who with... and how many academy picks will be called. Its a known. Trade 7 to the wrong side and it could be p20. If North want to trade for it then I might get interested.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Patrick = All of us.

 

[Stokey]

So - pick 7.

Split to get Henry and Bruhn done, or take it to the trade and trade #18 and F1?

They will take it to the draft.

 

[Drunkcat]

Well the club can do what ever they like with it, it's a win win

 

[Kobe Gryant]

What a time to be a Cats fan.

It's approaching fever dream territory.

Imagine this being touted after the prelim flogging Melbourne gave us last year...

- We're going to play an exciting brand of football that is pretty to watch and more importantly, damn effective at that.

- We're going to discover young guns all across the park, with a new superstar key back and small forward the pick of the bunch.

- We're going to have 5 All Australians, capitalising on a dominant 18-4 season where no one gets close to us after the month of June.

- We're going to win the prelim and Grand Final in emphatic fashion, and send out a club legend in the best way imaginable.

.....Then

- We'll secure the services of 3 highly touted youngsters, with pick 7 coming across as well virtually free of charge (draft pick wise)

This club is incredible

 

[Stokey]

The Hawks board is warming up. A good read.

when you look at the hawfies with the racism scandel and essendon being a basketcase Geelong seems like a much easier choice.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

Where is Partridge ?

 

[catman2006]

Better Taller talent that isn't NGA and F/S linked next year so maybe the crows or even the Hawks

 

[And_ROOS]

Exactly. I am amazed at how many people were saying "oh but they can offer him so much game time" yeah and maybe after being at a shit club like GC who keep taking Ls, he doesn't want to go to another club that will keep losing.

 

[Jumping Jack]

We will split Pick 7 with someone like GWS for two late first rounders which will be on traded for Henry and Bruhn. Our future 2nd Round will go to Gold Coast for Bowes and pick 7. So essentially we receive Henry, Bruhn and Bowes for our future 2nd round pick! And we keep our 2022 and 2023 first round picks. Genius.

Pick 7 will be walked straight to draft night and used on Jhye Clark (if he's still available). Hawthorn might be the worry at Pick 6.

Either way, we'll use that pick wisely and end up with a very good player.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Spot on mate! What took him so long?

If I was speculating I'd say he had a bigger offer money wise and took a bit of extra time.

Ridiculous, savour this time because it doesn't get much better following a club!
