Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

[Lana]

You mean All Australian, best and fairest winning Matt Crouch?

Richmond would count themselves lucky to draft 8 players of that calibre with their top 25 picks.

Yes that's the one, that's what happens when you provide an award based off dreamteam scores

 

[Turbocat]

I think if we put that pick slide on the table early it just gets banked into the conversion and we'd be expected to add to it. I think he handled it perfectly

Maybe …I just feel like I offer that at the start then you give them x amount of time ..and if they don't do you move on.

Mackie has the runs on the board so far ..so who could question him

 

[Finknottle]

Well he could probably get on the park once in a while for starters

McAndrew is 7.10 metres! That's 4cm taller than Conway.

According to google Conway is 5cm taller than McAndrew

I look at Neale as a likely paradigm. Get someone with the attributes required and give quality inputs. They will have time… and in the meantime if a Cadman falls into our lap so be it. The Stmpf kid has probably jumped up around 20 to 30 spots on the back of the combine testing but someone like that. Maybe even ata lower level. is there someone like a Lawson Humpries elsewhere that was not ready at 18...

Can Edwards play the role. If so sure. No Foster now so someone will have to play the role in the VFL

I always revert back to a rule of thumb which If you look back historically is generally accurate with exceptions..

A key forward who has A grade potential should be a regular by his third season at the level holding his own. My two examples with us are

N Ablett- 32 goals 2007
T Hawkins- 32 goals 2009

Ablett was going to be a star no doubt, and Hawkins turned out to be a superstar.

Jamarra also kicked 35 in his third season most recently.

The rule seems to be quite consistent

McAndrew is 7.10 metres! That's 4cm taller than Conway.

Pretty sure Conway is now 207cm since draft listing when he measured in at 205cm.

McAndrew is officially 209cm.

The latest team photo from the Herald Sun, a noticeable inch in height difference between De Koning (204cm) and Conway.

Mackie mentioned in his interview today there's a chance we could trade some future picks into this year depending on how the draft goes.

which interview …link?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Why?

If nothing else it would make the off season more fun, but i accept that west coast fans have been through a bit recently so we should probably give then space

AFL Draft Nominations - Play AFL

play.afl

Who wants to be cheeky and nominate?

Well you don't have to disclose weight anymore

 

[Turbocat]

Why?

I cant see him going anywhere unless he is uncontracted… as I cant see WC doing what Port has just done….

..and if that uncontracted move happens … I dread the thought of how many R1 picks will be involved now that the will allow two years ahead...

Then again if you are really unlucky …someone like Richmond might be on the bottom of the ladder ..and they will just put him into the PSD and you get zero...

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Cheap backup option for 12 months?

No too timid.

 

[Turbocat]

any chance we have a look at McAndrew after being delisted at sydney? Would be an upgrade on Conway

Its not so much Conway we need to replace…its Blitz. He is 34 in march. . Pretty soon the guy who is the most flexible tool on our list will be done ...

A guy who is unable to get around the ground will probably not be picked by the MC

 

[Lana]

We just played this game, it went nowhere

 

[Turbocat]

No too timid.

Too …something. Too VFL? 2 clubs and the best moment I can ever remember was against us.

Just not up to it.

If you want to get stuff started in the main board, go for it

But please don't bring it here if it's only going to cause issues

Does that mean we could potentially save him for clashes with Port

Whoopsies. It got moderated on the main board anyway. Fighting a losing battle.

What ever happened to freedom of speech.

Have you never heard Josh Jenkins talk about heights?
They dont get measured. The players write down what height they are.

He admitted he'd change it each year.
Said that he had times where a player would walk up to him and he'd start laughing. "You're not as tall as is stated on your bio. I know how tall I am and you're 4cm less than what you've said".

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Interesting SDK was the first bloke mentioned when he was asked about our ruck stocks.

All our other rucks are either too old or too injured. It's pretty obvious we are going to have to ruck sdk if we don't bring in another readymade ruck.

Hardie gave himself and extra inch at least and a bunch of extra weight, probably helped him get drafted

Would be extremely satisfying to see one of them become an A grader at Geelong as unlikely as it is.
