What would a team realistically trade for LDU. Pick 10ish maybe. North are not finishing that high next year. Zero benefit to them for trading him early. Free agent to the Pies seems a lock already 18 months out.
Given our lack of access to the top end of the draft our list is in ridiculously good shape but what we lack is players with real elite potential which would make the difference between finishing 6th and winning the flag. Holmes is one of the few that has that. We will need to find others via...
I would be doing everything possible to get Stanley to play one more to support Conway.
Cheap, mature ruck support is Ceglar, Darcy Fort etc. No back up ruck with upside at another club is going to look at Conway and think Geelong is a long term opportunity for them. That sort of ruck will go...
If we make finals and have a pick in the teens then to me it would tradeable for Smith. Wells is a gun recruiter and over the years would have more misses than hits with a pick in that range.
The issue with Smith to me is the contract. There is no way that you could justify more than 2-3 years...
All those guys played 25-30 games by the end of their second season? The comparison you would be looking for would be SDK but much easier to get a game ahead of Buku Khamis than Harry Taylor. If you guys still have your own 2nd rounder, Dogs would bite your hand off for that for a guy that can't...
Beware the former first round pick that can't get a game. He's Jarrod Brander MKII. It's not as if the Dogs couldn't use an extra tall down back.
Yes you don't expect a KPD draftee to play week in week out in their first couple of seasons but very concerning he hasn't played a game IMO...
He draws the best / biggest defender which leaves JUH with a teams #2 defender and Darcy with a teams #3 defender.
Darcy kicked 3 on the weekend because he is 205cm v a 191cm third defender. Move Naughton back, Geelong move the 200cm De Koning onto Darcy instead and he no longer has a 6 inch...
The club will know how shot his body is but if he is still physically capable of playing AFL I am not throwing the guy out.
Start of the season everyone had written Parfitt off but he has shown he is capable of coming into the team and doing a role.
We will lose 3-4 players to retirement. You...
What Eddie bringeth, Eddie could take away. That would be my only worry.
Few people earlier in the thread said he would not be a big loss because we have small forward covered.
I would disagree strongly.
Stengle is the only crumbing / classy finishing small forward we have and even for a...
Bailey Smith had question marks over him before he did the ACL. It would be completely insane to offer him a long term deal on big $$$ and cough up serious draft capital for him immediately after he has done the ACL. Happy to leave to Hawthorn.
I thought he was projected to be more of a third tall backman at AFL level. Sounds like he is a reverse Brander where Eagles fans had him as untouchable and worth a first round pick before being delisted a year later.
It would be impossible to trade for Parish now.
If we make the finals Essendon are not accepting a first rounder in the teens for him.
If we miss the finals for a second year running and have a top 10 pick we would have to embrace the rebuild, not trade for a mid 20s midfielder.
The sweet...
You could have said you didn't want to draft any player from that top 20 and been right apart from Bont and Cripps pretty much. Some good players there like Kelly and Salem but I wouldn't trade the draft pick used on them, for them now.
Taking a player from interstate is different to taking a player from interstate whose Dad was inaugural captain and board member at a club and went home himself in his playing days. Enjoy dealing with Peter Bell in two years time.
Played well against us this year. Parker looked ok last season as well. Suppose good signs for the Saints if they are delisting players like that who aren't hopeless.
Geelong's first pick in 2020 is now in the 50s.
We hold:
1 x 2021 first round
3 x 2021 second rounders tied to Essendon, GWS & us
2 x 2021 third rounders tied to Melbourne & us
Hopefully we don't trade our future first. We picked two first rounders last year so no restrictions on it.
Anyone...
List size is probably not that hard to manage as the last few players on the list are essentially on peanuts anyway. It just leaves some fringe players in limbo.
What the hell happens though if the AFL drop the cap and you end up over and can't trade contracted players out because the trade...
Constable - Gone probably. Contracted so if lost Narkle maybe they would hold him to his contract.
Narkle - Hopefully stay but out of contract so up to him really.
Cockatoo - Gone.
Fort - Stay. No one is going to offer him a #1 position and we only have two genuine rucks on our list so hard to...
I'd trade a first rounder for Parish but not 11. He is not a need. Pick 11 gives us the best shot at a KPP which is what we need with Taylor, Henderson and Hawkins not getting any younger. We've got Fogarty, Constable, Narkle and Cooper Stephens as mids not in our best side currently so we don't...
