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

[cats_09]

Do we even have the most traded in players??? I think its just overblown and exxagerated due to our success.

Do we have more players traded in that collingwood brisbane or hawks have had over the years??

Carlton currently have 15 players on their list who started their careers at other clubs:
- Blake Acres, Adam Cerra, Sam Docherty, Francis Evans, Orazio Fantasia, Lachlan Fogarty, Nick Haynes, George Hewitt, Elijah Holland, Mitch McGovern, Nic Newman, Marc Pittonet, Adam Saad, Zac Williams & Lewis Young

9 of them played on Sunday

Saw this over on the Eagles board.

Taking away from the fact that it feels a little icky looking at a literal child's Instagram...this is pretty adorable.





My Tilly, you're gonna love this.

And despite the outside noise, in the last 10 years or more, we have only traded in 2 stars, Danger and Cameron. Bailey Smith isn’t in their league yet.

 

[goyoucatters]

No.

I count 9 recycled players on our list. I get 14 for Carlton and 15 for Collingwood.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good furphy.

 

[dont stop me meow]

Envy and spite do strange things to people.

I just can't imagine a reason that Riewoldt would be so bitter and spiteful, makes no sense

Man I love that scene of Bobby, braving the cold, holding up the cup with the team. Tingles down the spine stuff.

For all the bleating about Geelong. Most of the league has got more players from elsewhere than we do.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

A few reasons. Number one, they may believe that he could stay. Number two, they do not want to be Horne-Francis'd.

Robert Walls was really interesting on this when he talked about Nathan Buckley's Brisbane year in 1993. It was important - in a time when players didn't want to go, and didn't want to stay, and didn't want to take it seriously when they were there - to put the foot down.

Robert walls is very outdated with his thinking.

You only make someone stay for a very good reason, such as you believe you are a genuine premiership shot if they stay.

If you want to force a worker who doesnt want to be with you to remain at your organisation, nothing good comes of it.

You can look at melbourne as your example of current times. The club is a cultural joke and has held players hostage to remain there

Absolutely. And you can add to this the fact that we lost the biggest free agent in the history of the game to a start-up club, as he was in the prime of his career. Nobody has lost as much in one FA transaction as we did.

Still, just easier to pretend that we've been screwing the whole competition in this way for years on end.

It's unfortunately a socialist way of thinking the attacks on geelong... Essentially its “ there must be some form of abuse or oppression causing inequality” and it cannot be due to skill or success of our club and coaches.

Its the belief that differences lie inequality of outcomes rather than due to skill and talent

For a second I thought it was his current bed.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

And we simply do not have a list spot.

Even if we did parfitt is not the right fit.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I think what is dissapointing about his game is what his strength was as a draftee he has struggled to show at AFL level.

He can get involved in tackling, but he struggles with winning contested ball in clearances and contests.

This was his 1 wood as a junior... It is not translating at AFL

He has neither the strength or the endurance for that 1 wood to translate if he did he would be fine. Strength is build able endurance I don't know as it depends on genes as much as anything.

I hope he can get himself right regardless of his football future.

Melbourne however I couldn't care less about and they are going to regret not taking up whatever we offered last year

With that contract I doubt it.

 

[Generalissimo]

Agree. Worpel is one of only a handful of Horks players I can stand, he's not a grub like most of the others. And with Bruhn possibly out for good, we have a serious need for that kind of player in the midfield.

 

[Mr Meow]

Nick Riewoldt and Campbell Brown both made little jibes about Cotton On over the past few weeks. Very unprofessional, but I wouldn't expect anything different from an intellectual midget like Brown, but thought Riewoldt would be better than that.

Riewoldt is still famously salty about 2009.

 

[FootyLad0]

Hard to accept an offer when you haven’t made one to him

More than half our best 22 are guys that we drafted and developed.

We weren’t handed these blokes, Collingwood and Carlton are stacked with guys they brought in from elsewhere, Brisbane have a similar number to us. People just don’t like it when a club they don’t like does good recruiting.

They’re happy for minnows to pick up guys, it’s when powerhouses pick them up that they get their shit out of whack.
