Rumour GFC 2023 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt II

[cats_09]

Yep, this is making an appearance here also, and probably getting more useful as the season draws to a close and this discussion ramps up

 

[Cameron_Jezza]

Very big chance.

Why does he want to come back?
I hope he develops, but his first season is about 1/2 of Jack Watts debut year. He did play well in last 2 vfl games though.

Hawkins had an ordinary first year too. tall forwards take time.

 

[cats_09]

And I reckon JUH will end up at the Cats too.

Maybe our real WB target and Smith is just a decoy?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Very big chance.

It would be hilarious.

First we take Jezza, then we take the guy they got to replace Jezza.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

And I reckon JUH will end up at the Cats too.

Smith, Cadman, JUH, Butters

We're going to be the first side in history to win 5 in a row.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Where does the bid come for Croft.

Hopefully from us at 7.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

That would be a shock

We should have had him anyway through our academy.

Jhye Clark 13 how likely you reckon?

 

[And_ROOS]

Completely forgot that McCartin is gone, is Mills 100% out for the season? One report said season likely done, another said return early in the season.
Either way, Jordon and Grundy with their team puts them into 4th/5th/6th next season. Port are going to drop off, and I think Dees might too if they don't sort their forward line out.

 

[dazbroncos]

And I reckon JUH will end up at the Cats too.

thats the one I really wanted.

GO Catters

 

[fpm84]

how the Cats have treated Sav two years in a row, players will now think twice about going to

This guy?

Ratugolea said he loves playing in the hoops.

“I had discussions with the right people (during the off-season) and I love this club, I never wanted to go but I would have hated myself if I didn’t explore and try and get a good opportunity for myself but I am happy here,” he said.

 

[Turbocat]

Hopefully from us at 7.

The gift of fathers keeping on giving for them. I get this feeling that they are not sure they want him for a pick that early yet looking at that vid.. he looks like he is a very transferable package of skills and talent in a 200cm body. I think we could say with a straight face we will bid at 7 ... and tehn they may have to choose to trade for 7.

If there is anything to Holmes...it probably makes me want get a player in like Wilson even more. We cant have them all ...all though one could argue we need three or four of them

Would you go Croft or Caddy if you are looking for a KP player? I think I’m still with Caddy. Just.

Surely they need to take him with Naughton and JUH both being OOC at the end of next season and Darcy potentially being a tall swingman.

 

[Turbocat]

And I reckon JUH will end up at the Cats too.

Short term or long term?


I have read on here...that we were linked to him in his academy years ...not sure on how much we were but it would not surprise me looking at someone like JUH post Jez.

 

[gogeelongcats]

Not yet as far as I know...

I believe he is not nominating as a father son

 

[Turbocat]

Very good question...of which I really do not have the answer. Like to see combine results before commiting.

Id probably be happy with either... but if Im sitting there with 7 and both are available who do I call? For the first time in a long time Wells could have a legit range of R1 options.

I suspect the Dogs in the end will end up with him. They will get their wallets out and Croft will agree to go there and they will end up trading for 7. We then get 10 and 17 ... We take Caddy at 10 ..and Wilson falls thru to 17 .

One can dream.

 

[gogeelongcats]

This guy?

$ on the table changes things for Sav who said he loves our club.

Ahhh let us all pray together for this.

To me .... the Dogs are a little bit reserved about their enthusiasm for him due to the early pick that might be required ..which has then flowed on to his uncertainly of whether he nominates them

Eventually ..they find a way to find each other. $$$

I don't disagree... and if I'm Croft and see the Dogs with young KKPs like Naughton/JUH/Darcy that could all be key forwards I'm going to be unsure if I see a spot in that side for a long time for myself.

The Dogs are surely going to be looking to trade up ahead of any bid possibility (or into futures that can be traded back into this draft live on draft night after a bid) so those nice picks of there's don't get gobbled up by his bid....if he eventually nominates FS for them.

That would be a remarkable outcome but unlikely I would have thought. The risk of trading out is you miss on both. I’m sure though that Mackie/Wells will have a very good idea who is taking who at that point of the draft and won’t trade out unless they are certain that their man will be available to them.

 

[catempire]

But The Age reported on Wednesday night the Magpies would ask the AFL if they could remove themselves from the Grundy contract, which would help them free up significant future cap space. The report suggested Collingwood would argue that it’d struck a deal with Melbourne — not Sydney — for Grundy

Good luck!

“Please, can we the premiers be given a leg-up for no reason?”

 

[catempire]

I can’t see how the Pies can be part of that trade? Would be unprecedented. But knowing the AFL they’ll sign off on it.

Thankfully in this situation there’s just no basis to allow them any out here. The salary cap hit was part of the cost they paid to get the pick they received for Grundy. Are they also willing to give up the equivalent of that pick now??

Their grounds for having their obligation rescinded is pretty tenuous! They signed the guy on a contract for X years. X hasn’t been reached yet!

 

[D BRIDGE]

It's all about the Grundy contract and the dets on it.

Pretty sure I heard his manager say "Grundy has a separate deal/contract with Collingwood, not 3 parties linked".

Still would need to see the contract to have a 100% view... but I doubt they are getting out of it at all.
