    Rumour GFC 2026 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 2

    I know you said it tongue in cheek, but big deals take long range planning, and need to find ways to keep both parties happy with multiple puzzle pieces moving around. After GWS matched and forced us to trade our Tim Kelly draft haul for Cameron, GWS then magically took Bruhn with pick 12 in...

    Autopsy Flat Cats go down by 30 to Port

    Zero physicality. So many of our players just back away from body contact - and not just tonight. Aside from Atkins, and Bruhn coming back in, our entire team has gone backwards on that front. Our other two most physical players in Danger and Stewart are now basically senior citizens and...

    There is one player at the club that insists on washing his own jumper out of absolute respect for it - it's Shaun Mannagh. He wasn't going anywhere.

    Rumour GFC 2026 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

    The talk of keeping windows open and prioritising a quality mid vs key forward prompted me to look at our list based on age those that are 28yo or younger - ie. how much of our best 23 for the next 4-5 years is already in place. Forwards - missing the successor for Cameron. Arguably we have 1...

    Hofmann should be rising by this point too.

    Walter and Neale could be a pretty threatening combination. It would set the forward line up for the next 10 years. Might not have many draft picks after that, but would still have cap space to chase a FA mid in the next year or two. With no picks to trade, would be pointless matching an offer...

    Rumour GFC 2026 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

    Butters is exactly the type of mid we need right now, but I think we might need another quality key forward more in 18 months time. Some would say mids are ‘easier’ to get, and a number are coming out of contract in next couple of years. By comparison, not many key forwards coming up. Plan A...

    The numbers may change in the so-called 'new environment' with a rising cap, but our approach doesn't have to in order to remain competitive. It really depends on whether any stars you are trying to attract want to have some help in order to win premierships, or whether they just want the...

    Add Bowes to the mix of good forward half ball users as well. Has the goods to play the old Duncan HF / extra mid role, and I agree we definitely need that polish.

    Picks 1-20 get 3 years, everyone else gets 2.

    Still keen to try to get Emmett with our next, although North has apparently done a bit of work on him too. If not him, another tall - maybe Thredgold. Should look for a smaller defender/ half back with rookie pick. I think Felix Kneipp was flagged a while back? Hopefully Mellor can then...

    Rumour GFC 2026 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

    I keep coming back to Louis Emmett with our first - assuming it stays early / mid 20s. Mobile tall ruck / forward, but more a tall utility given his endurance, decent at gound level. Suggestions of him being tried as a key back for development as well (and we have zero key defensive depth in the...

    Rumour GFC 2026 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

    Just building on this - the existing contract isn't torn up and paid out. Two things can happen - he nominates for national draft, and then if a club picks him up on the senior list, they pick up his second contract year and we don't have to pay it. If nobody drafts him in the national draft...

    Yeah - but you've got to join the army to get it - and there are a number of trade-offs in that decision. (Strayed off topic a little bit!)
