Rumour 2020 Draft Rumour Mill

[Omega]

I dont see the value in moving the two spots unless we received Norths pick 11 in the process. Some deal of 2+11 for 4 +24+ Future 1st.. Probably not enough to make it viable but I'd rather the Hawks remain unchanged. Clearly something is being discussed so there must be some logic to it.

Not a rumour but it feels so strange caring this much about the draft.

For me, it feels strange caring so little about the draft.

Who says DGB is their no.1 target ...

It's my speculation based on rumours and the gaping hole in their back line after trading Aliir.

No we can't, would be eaten up by a Campbell bid. Also we need DGB or McDonald (either one). I'd take the forward personally

There's no guarantee Hawthorn or Gold Coast bid on Campbell.

They can't afford to risk it though

 

[LukeParkerno1]

They can't afford to risk it though

And we won’t

Have plenty of points banked for Campbell and Gulden anyway

We need everything. McDonald would suit post Buddy too

 

[Big Bryza]

Haha. Bookmark it. And don't cry.

Geelong is the last club any young kid will want to play for in 3 years. Once Dads army has retired, they'll be bottom 4. Bookmark it.

Where do you think campbell gets bid?

People have been saying this for 10 years since dads army started retiring. Not saying it wont happen eventually but it also might not.

Yep makes sense, Sydney would rather get a top 5 player and then match Braeden. This way they will walk away with 2 top ten picks + Gulden compared to trading down and risking a bid on Braeden before their first.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Doubt hawthorn risk that as they might be bottom 4 next year. I think its more likely they want to trade you 4 and 24 for 2 as the latter pick might get swallowed by a downie bid anyway. Whether thats enough i dont know.

I don't think we can trade for 24 as it was our pick originally. Hawks traded their own second in the Sam Frost

No idea but Essendon’s 3 picks seem about right

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Potentially..i mean in that scenario you can downgrade to GCs pick but its risky unless you know for sure where campbell is bid which is why i think you stay at 3.

I would assume you can as the trades were done in separate years not on the same night but the afl is very murky on this rules stuff.

Pretty much stay at 3. What I’d like to consider is if there is no bid at 4, live trade with GC (swap of firsts)

Swap your 2021 first with GC? Could be a good move too, you'll net 3 top 10 picks this year then.

 

[RUNVS]

Yep, that is likely what Sydney would do, if Gold Coast were up for it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Correct. That way we'll get the tall we want, either one, my preference is McDonald. Then get an inside mid in Phillips at 5, or Perkins.

Would be a big risk for Gold Coast

I'm not fussed if we do it but it's one to discuss at least, who knows. Our future first could be a top 3-4 pick next year so it's pretty even.

It could also be around 10

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Possibly but do you really think we are making the 8? I'm not sure how we are improving that much, might come 5th last or something. We are very young.

 

[kickthething]

With less than a week to go before the draft I thought a rumour thread could be a good idea to post any whispers from journos and BF posters alike to help create some hype in the lead up.

First up

Matt Balmer from Fox Footy mentioned in his draft Chat today that Liam Kolar is a chance to be taken by the Tigers in the first round.

He also mentioned that Geelong are one of the clubs that have done the most work on SA KPF Kaine Baldwin.

Fits what I heard a number a weeks ago that the Tigers taking a first round pick with very little NAB experience. I thought Kolar immediately.

im done writing the cats off

And after the lovely gift GWS gave you for taking Cameron off their hands, can see you rebuilding the list nicely whilst still in contention

all the while some other gun waltzes in to the side

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Pretty much stay at 3. What I’d like to consider is if there is no bid at 4, live trade with GC (swap of firsts)

You mean your future 1st for GCs pick?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Cherny saying Richmond has 17 on the table preference of future picks

West coast and Geelong most interested in acquiring
