Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 2

Reading all the articles about how West Coast should not accept Reid’s demands makes me wonder what Mackie and co think of it all.

 

[foxdog50]

Of course I want Reid, but I can't see him even moving till his contract is finished

 

[Turbocat]

Davies 18 touches to half time against good opposition. Clearly something to work with

fattening the calve ...

 

[Warhorse]

Maybe they want that #7 they gave us back for him.

Suns have such a stacked list someone will grab him for nothing. provided great protection for Rowell as well

 

[Turbocat]

I wish they would keep him in the 2s would make him a cheaper trade.
With Patterson and addinsall coming plus Lombard I think Davies is gettable.

There would be a couple at both qld clubs and they will need points. I think todays Davies might be a little bit OTT to what we might get , I suspect Bris were fairly Rowell focused but that shows he can play.

Wce will accept his demands at least for 2 years because they can barely reach 95 % of the cap anyway. If I'm him I sign for 2 and get out in 2028.

I think he's a good fit for a club like us as we need the size in the midfield. I'd be pushing as honestly with the Academy guys for his own sake he's best off moving.

Like I said, poison pill west coast are too smart to take but enough bait for fans to keep heat off him

Exactly. Sign him for 2 years and hope he picks up the player option thereafter. Otherwise, they’ve locked him up for 2 years and can fill their cap space, then if he chooses to leave, have a war chest in two years

Sort of serves two masters. Gives them an extra two years ..and he can look at the critics in the eye and said did not hop skip and jump when things were tough … but also gets him a couple of money years unlike what he gets if he wants to come to Geelong (although we know he would still get very good money).

The down side is he if specifically wants us..who knows what we are doing in two years time..but if he came next year ..he still gets to play in and around Jez and Danger etc..

 

[dazbroncos]

Mellor a few really nice flashes in the VFL so far...

A great mark and goal from the boundary 45m out.... drop punt in the wet right thru.

Hide him

GO Catters

He also has really nice attack on the footy weather it is in the air or on the ground so yes hide him

Mollier is on the wing

Mollier is on the wing

I thought I recognised him.

 

[thegerman]

My thoughts, Reid will sign with Eagles for 2 at 1.8m+. They will cave in and give him a player option thereafter, for whatever years he wants.

From there, they know the writing is on the wall that he’ll likely not take the player option and look to seek a trade. However, it locks him into the club, who would be highly likely to not be paying anywhere near their cap.

I suspect whilst we may well have a lot of irons in the fire, we’ll be very quiet this trade period. We are seemingly salary rich, but not trade capital.

If that's the contract they won't be able to move him

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No they will give him 2 years at 2mil to 2028 then he will turn down the trigger extension and move in 2028 as an OOC so they won't need to move any contract with him.

 

[foxdog50]

NWM
Come down the highway to Geelong.. you will fit in very nicely

I'm not even kidding, he's the best player in the comp right now

That player option would set the floor of any contract negotiations with other clubs.

Not really. His manager will want it as a if WCE are doing better by then he locks them into 9 years on huge money (betting he will play finals at some point during it) and if not 2 years allows him to get out to play finals in Vic knowing he will probably only get 1.7 per year (for example) at a Vic club. Best of both worlds.

Worpel instead pls.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Too bad we can't get NWM

I can see why you would think that... Gee I hope the rumours that we are into him are seriously come alive
