    Game Day Prelim Final 25 - Geelong V Hawthorn Fri 19th Sept 2025 740pm @ MCG

    You'd assume no Stanley given the hammy was only 2 weeks ago. But the more interesting question is what we do next week if we win and Blics plays as well as he did in the qualy. But those thoughts are best left for 5 hours' time. So I'll see myself out.

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

    Both play the 3rd tall forward role, and have been maligned at times. So there's certainly some similarities. But for me the differences as players is that OH is a better goalkicker. But Rohan had more strings to his bow with his defensive pressure and tackling. So even Rohan's 8 disposal, 1...

    Bowes was playing VFL basically his entire last year at GC. Simpkin is a current club captain. Their situations are completely different, even if Simpkin would ideally like a bit more midfield time than he currently gets.

    lol I like how you just ignored North entirely.

    Sure, an extra on the bench helps. But the principle is the same. I would rate worpel in our bottom 5 yet he’ll be getting paid in our top 10.

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

    i think the Marshall / worpell hypothetical is a good one in illustrating why some people have reservations with getting worpell. let’s make it starting 22 and exclude the sub, because if you’re paying him $750-800k you want him to be a starter. Bowes has been raised but no one else really...

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

    Our round 2 pick this year wouldn't be worth much. I think it'd be more likely a deal would centre around our first.

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

    Even in R25 when Neale was suspended he still didn't get picked. I'm optimistic that he can bounce back next year, but it has been a tad surprising to see just how far down the pecking order he's fallen this season.

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

    I'm probably one of those people you're referring to. I can't speak for everyone, but the rationale for getting an 'ordinary' ruck from another club is twofold. 1. We clearly need someone. Stanley will retire, Blicavs will be 35, SDK is a better defender (although I'm not against giving him a...

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

    I'd go for him. I'm not saying he is a superstar. But I'm generally of the opinion that unless you have and absolute superstar ruck, a cheap and serviceable option is better than spending more on a B grader. Stanley has been perfect in that regard. Scott alluded to the same thing in the post...

    He'd need to play every game for the next decade, until he is 33yo, for that to happen. Forgive me for thinking that's a tad optimistic.

    Game Day QF2: Geelong vs Brisbane, Friday 5th Sept 7:40pm at MCG

    Bold prediction: SDK plays so well in the ruck we have second thoughts about bringing back Stanley for the prelim Edit: on second thoughts Blicavs will probably do most of the rucking. The general sentiment stands though

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

    I agree. The only caveat would be that Voss knows that he is basically coaching for his future next year, the club in general also don't seem to think they are in rebuild mode. This makes it difficult to see how they would let one of their best players walk while in contract.

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

    I appreciate that. And for that exact reason I can absolutely understand people being pro Curnow. But I think Neale's emergence in the second half of the season changes things a bit. 29 goals in his past 11 games is seriously good going. Plus Curnow will himself be 29 by round 1 next year with...

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

    Pass on Curnow. There's significant risk attached, particularly at the price he would cost. Plus Cameron just won the Coleman by plenty and Neale's second half of the season exceeded expectations by a fair way. I know the opportunity to recruit elite key forwards doesn't come around every day...
