Rumour GFC 2017 Player Trading, Drafting, FA, Rumours, and Wish lists - PT2

[Willo_]

If Port get Motlop, can they afford Watts?

I doubt it... players they have brought in like Ryder and Dixon wouldn't have been playing for peanuts either

I am surprised that say Brisbane's fifth round pick for Hodge hasn't been done at least.

I only caught part of a conversation on the radio so don't shoot me.
But there was a suggestion that Brisbane could damage their Rockliff compo pick somehow with a hodge trade.

It sounded wierd to me.
However, you'd think they'll just take him in the psd. No one else is going to jump in.

If Caddy was worth 24 to Richmond, I think Watts is worth 20 to us.
Was having a good year until hamstring, this year.
2016 averaged 16 poss. 6.5 marks. 40 goals.
Good decisions, doesn't turn it over, probably best kick for goal in AFL.
I have watched all of his games in the last few years and I like him.

Considering we gave Pick 21 to the Saints for Stanley, I reckon you're right.

Purple was having one of his hissytissy fits... he hates FA comp ..and was calling it a rort.. that the two FA's should cancel out the Rockliff comp. FA in FA out.
As if.
Unless the comp is comparable.. a club would trade for a young better FA player than Hodge to avoid cancelling the comp. Hawk would just do a Chappy type trade anyway... I know we are "us and them" but really they hold to a lot of similar values and they do take care of their champs. No way the would do the dirty on Hodge.

I cant wait to see what his reaction is..if we get band 2 and trade it Gold Coast... he literally would turn purple.

Trade Period goes for 9 Days. If no trades are completed by the end of Day 4, the argument for reducing it to a week becomes even stronger.

Not really. Has anyone considered it takes a while to make a decision after all teams sit down and work out what they have to offer on day 1. Players livelihoods are involved and they have to discuss moves with their families.

 

[bigblackboz]

Rumors that Port are meeting Motlop today to increase their offer to 550K.

I reckon he wants to go there. It will be touch and go now for Band 2 compo

Or he said no to them so they come back with more $$$.

I think the club is under control. Based on what is public, he seemingly has a good contract coming.

He does really wanna go there and has for ages from what I've heard.

Lobbe is on shitloads compared to his output.
If they can offload him + Impey + Trengove and Achee they could have a chance.
Also Monfries was on a bit, Krak not much.

Who would take Lobbe though on his $$$$$? Not a charity.

I find the Geelong approach to the Stringer scenario very interesting. Wells has made it clear that Pick 22 would be used for Stringer while sitting back and letting the Dons battle it out with the Dogs over the player. It is genuinely possible that the whole Dogs/Dons/Stringer negotiation turns to shit and should it do so, the other option...Geelong....may be the next port of call. The Dons won't give 11 to the Dogs...(the Dogs don't want Stringer.).....and their next pick is lower than Geelong's...Geelong have I assume stated their position and not budged, and await the Motlop outcome...which may b a game changer....

Personally, I'm wary of the possible Stringer inclusion to our list, but it does appear that Geelong and Wells are not prepared to be bent over on this trade, at least.

I've said this from the start!

Stringer is our "main" target and the Club haven't given up on him once.

Ablett, Stringer and Watts could all be coming in.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Yeah no one. You're right. Maybe GWS on some sort of deal.

I think this could be the dream but not sure it happens.

Pick 11 has gone to GWS.

What implications do people think that has for us getting Stringer?

 

[Daniel McL]

Sounds like the Devon Smith trade is done:


Lever deal just done then too:

"Adelaide will receive two first-round draft picks in exchange for defender Jake Lever after a trade deal was struck with Melbourne on Thursday morning at Etihad Stadium.

The Crows will get pick No.10, a future first-round selection and a future fourth-round selection from the Demons and send Lever, pick No.35 and a future third-round selection to Melbourne."

 

[catempire]

Lol. Dees bent over to get Lever.

Pick 10 and 2018 first rounder.

Ouch.

Just looking thru some of the names that Knightmare has drifting out to 20..... not long ago these guys were a lot earlier. I do not mind the idea of going small... Spargo & Petruccelle for eg but its hard to judged when they will be called.

To me , as it seems to happen each year... These week drafts seem to have a few handy looking players in the 20 range... To me O'Brien look very good last year..looked DelSanto. Allen ..at 191 ..is this the new in vogue size for a forward. Taylor do not know enough about him

20. Lochie O'Brien (VIC)
Best position: Outside midfield
Height, weight: 184cm, 75kg
Recruited from: Bendigo Pioneers
Projected draft range: first round
Similar to: Jimmy Toumpas
July Ranking: 18
Rationale: Does damage on the outside by foot and with his run. Finds enough of the ball but would be higher if he won more contested ball.
Strengths:
Arguably the best kick in the draft with his precision, variety of kicks he can execute, hurt factor and dual sided kicking
Lowers eyes
Vision
Decision Making
Line breaker
Acceleration
Evasiveness
Agility
Overhead marking
Production
Versatility to play midfield or on flanks at either end
Weaknesses:
Stoppage work
Contested ball winning

20. Oscar Allen (WA)

Best position: Key forward/general forward
Height, weight: 191cm, 83kg
Recruited from: West Perth
Projected draft range: First to second round
Similar to: Jack Gunston
September Ranking: Not ranked
Rationale: Larke Medalist led the Under-18 Championships with 11 goals and was Team Enright's best in the Under-18 All Stars game. Has earned a top-20 position.
Strengths:
Football smarts
Reads play early
Reads ball in flight early
Leading patterns
Work rate
Forward pressure
Clean at ground level
Strong hands overhead
Weaknesses:
Below average height and reach by position

20. Sam Taylor (WA)

Best position: Key defender
Height, weight: 196cm, 85kg
Recruited from: Swan Districts
Projected draft range: second to third round
Similar to: Adam Tomlinson
August Ranking: Not ranked
Rationale: Playing WAFL League football and holding his own is a significant accomplishment for the Under-18 All-Australian. A recent 27-disposal, eight mark, best on ground performance in Round 23 sees Taylor break his way into the top 20.
Strengths:
Clean hands at ground level
Involved in general play
Intercept marking
Reading of the flight
Capable both as a rebounder and stopper
Has performances on the board against WAFL League competition
Weaknesses:
Inconsistent kick
Key defender only

 

[OzeSparky]

Have the flood gates opened?

 

[Pack Specialist]

I think this could be the dream but not sure it happens.

22 + Thurlow/Lang/Stanley for Stringer

33 for Watts?

34 for Ablett?
---------------------

2018 first for Stringer

Pick 22 for Watts?

Pick 33 for Ablett?

Surprised... they put Smith as better get than Stringer.

 

[Daniel McL]

Pick 10 and 2018 first rounder.

Ouch.

Lever's an absolute star but yes if I was Melbourne I would've stuck with the offer being Pick 10 + 2018 2nd Rounder.

Melbourne are probably thinking "That's okay, if Adelaide draft a Victorian with either of those picks we'll just get him in 2-3 years"

 

[bigblackboz]

Pick 11 has gone to GWS.

What implications do people think that has for us getting Stringer?

Well it seems that Stringer is priority 3 so not sure. Depends what scraps they offer the Dogs and how desperate the dogs really are.

 

[Sttew]

He does really wanna go there and has for ages from what I've heard.

It is in his blood. And, why would he want to go to the Crows after Tex's hissy fits?

Lock it in Eddie.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Ouch.

Yeah brutal. TBF though Melbourne don't need the high picks as much as others.
Lever is more what they need.
Sort of a win win for both parties.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Unless they trade a future 1st rnd for him we are right back in it if we want to be.
