Rumour GFC 2020 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt2

[cats_09]

WARNING TO ALL VISITORS TO THE GEELONG BOARD. You are - for the most part - welcome to discuss the current list management & trading situation at Geelong. However, this is our board, so be respectful of the home board posters & don't inflame arguments (make your points succinctly and move on). And if you're just here to troll, then don't bother or you will be enjoying a holiday

 

[Leeds17]

After 100+ games why does Kolo still choose to pull off those short dinky sideways kicks? He's one of those players who just has to kick it down the line 50m, otherwise we're just asking for disaster.

Because he’s asked to do it.

 

[year of the cat]

Mentioned it last week that a mystery backman is looking at coming to us but going to find it hard to get the deal done
I reckon his decision is based on that IMO

Who?

 

[STPer18]

Because he’s asked to do it.

Then he needs to be asked to stop it because he has a knack of kicking it to the wrong team.

 

[Johnny Cattery]

Did Harley really look that upset at the end of a winning GF?

No, it was a few minut s before when he was on the bench, exhausted. Easy to miss.

 

[Leeds17]

Then he needs to be asked to stop it because he has a knack of kicking it to the wrong team.

Well if we asked everyone in that backline that you’d be concerned hitting that kick to not do it it would leave you with Stewart & maybe Henderson.

Yep, and that's the crux of the issue back there.

Highly doubt that

 

[catman2006]

I reiterate that Kolo is the harshest marked player on our list. He gets no respect despite routinely beating his opponents this season.
But this is the lunacy that this board produces, that not only can someone suggest a defender who regularly stops his opponent get traded, but just so that a fast guy who can't defend can get games, and many agree with you.

Our most underrated player on the list.
Nothing wrong with wanting some more run on the list, not entirely convinced Clark is the man. Would love to get Witherden back home.

But I think I will keep sticking to defenders who can defend over those that can't or can't do it as well.
I sure hope that remains a focus for Scarlett over the summer.

Yes no doubt Kolo cops a bit sometimes deserved but fact is he plays on the most dangerous small forward week in week out, what are Bews and Moc in the team for very minimum they should by double teaming with Kolo

Another 30+ yo?!

No thanks.

 

[Grimoz]

No way in hell Davis leaves GWS after he came out and said he was 'enormously disappointed' that Cameron had chosen to leave, people need to stop making shit up, there is going to be a lot of this over the next month or so i reckon.

Well when you have your CEO states on many occasions we have managers knocking on our door for a trade it doesn’t help

This is true but i dont see the point of reporting things that are such a long shot its pointless.

I could say Dusty Martin's managed called and he wants the Cats and im 100% sure that nobody would believe it yet it will be mentioned and discussed as a genuine chance which its not

If anyone would’ve said to me a month ago Geelong would go after Isaac Smith

But nobody reported it here, that came out in the media, this Davis rumor is just bullshit heresay.

If the media mention it its 50/50 to wether it has any legs.

True......but struth, this plane is missing a few rivets and we wanna bodge it up with some staples and sticky tape?

Forgive for thinking it won't fly.

injured in back half of the year? or he couldn't get a game for the Hawks?

Shoulder injury

 

[CatRiot]

I wonder if this year's trade/draft strategy will be to try broker trades with mature types, whilst try and swap some picks for early picks for next season's draft which will have better form references (eg U18 comps assumed to be back up and running across all states)...

 

[frggr]

Last I heard was a 2 year deal for Tuohy - the problem I have is that I don't know where he fits in the team

He's been pushed out of the defensive unit with Bews & O'Connor preferred for small forwards & even Kolo gets that job sometimes, and add in next year that Clark will hopefully be pushing for a spot, it makes even less spots for him.

Seems that he's almost too good to not be best 22 but they don't really know what to do with him - if we're honest, his best spot is in defence, so if there's not a role there for him, is he still best 22 going forward?

I don't necessarily want to lose Tuohy off the list as I think there's value in having him available, but I also wouldn't be in a rush to re-sign him and would wait to see what else happens

Wonder how he'd go in Dahlhaus's role?

 

[frggr]

I've never been a fan of Kolo and my mates thought I was a bit harsh. At the start of the season I told them to watch him closely they now agree that he is a battler and is VFL standard. Having said that I think he should play on the Reiwoldt types, not the Dusty types.

Yep. Martin types are too dynamic and too smart. Riewold types are where he's at - somewhat predictable

 

[frggr]

Is this mystery backman of any notable quality?

Wonder if it's Witherden?

 

[frggr]

After 100+ games why does Kolo still choose to pull off those short dinky sideways kicks? He's one of those players who just has to kick it down the line 50m, otherwise we're just asking for disaster.

Make your mistakes long!

 

[frggr]

Because he’s asked to do it.

Not directed at you, Leeds, but...

Clearly he's not quite suited to doing it, though. Surely even Scarlett must have his heart in his mouth when Kolo goes a short option on the HFF.

Why aren't they letting him play to his strengths?
