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

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Probably unlikely. They're both being paid by their former clubs so I see no reason to cut them.

That only lasts a year. Their former clubs can't pay 2021 salary

 

[BigCat1]

Parsons and Jacob Kennerley also delisted.

On the clubs twitter.

Ralphy says his sources today say that Clark wants to stay at Geelong and cats don’t want to trade him despite all the noise so “probably stays”

 

[foxdog50]

Missy on a 3 year deal.

Better get used to it..

Sports tonight was talking about Higgins coming tonight, and Gerad Healy and the other news guy who also goes on footy classifieds. Gerad Healy said im not so sure if Higgins will be going to Geelong yet....
Other guy was Sam MClure, Sam said when you say things like this Gerad you are normally always rite... so there is a glimmer of hope Higgins MAY not come

 

[Nickoo]

Interesting story I heard about Guthrie on the weekend. Evidently he's had a heart issue (not talking desire, the actual heart) that was identified at the end of last season. Caused fatigue during matches, Went in for an epilation which has resulted in a dramatic impact on his endurance in matches. Might continue to see "the good Guthrie" for quite a while now.

Do you mean ablation? Epilating the heart doesn’t sound right.

That one. Can’t even blame autocorrect

 

[calder_daddy]

Happy to bet absolutely anything Higgins will not be getting a 3 year deal

Sounds insane for a 33 yr old. Can’t be right.

 

[calder_daddy]

Sounds insane for a 33 yr old. Can’t be right.

Considering we’re only offering Hawkins and Touhy 2 years and they’re younger proves it won’t happen
Also the fact it’s rumored we’re offering again a younger Isaac Smith

Also heard Harry is undecided on going around again, surely the club taps him on the shoulder and says you're done.

If he goes around again, it needs to be a Tim McGrath mentoring role, spending the year in the VFL with any senior appearances out of necessity.

But ideally he gets told to hang them up.

 

[Johnny Cattery]

Of course Wouldn't Roy, as in Roy Higgins, be more appropriate?

Um, yeah, look he passed away in 2014 so I think he'd be looking for a bit of security - could we stretch it to five years, but match fees only?

 

[CarAttack]

3 gone. Still plenty more unfortunately. Probably already covered but I believe AFL lists are predicted to be cut by 4. Plus we are likely adding Cameron /Higgins. Plus add least 3 draft picks in.
So by my math that is 9 current spots that need to be cleared.
Out - today’s 3, Ablett, Taylor?, Cocky?.
Still means another 3 minimum even if Harry/Cocky go and we only use 3 picks.

 

[Grimoz]

Could mentor De Koning

 

[Wojcinski]

Probably unlikely. They're both being paid by their former clubs so I see no reason to cut them.

money is not my concern, its playing those spuds over younger prospects throughout the year

 

[Catman]

Could mentor De Koning

That was my thinking. But do you want to carry a guy on your list just for that reason? He could mentor him without playing.

 

[Kyuss]

That was my thinking. But do you want to carry a guy on your list just for that reason? He could mentor him without playing.

Yeah can't see them signing him to a new deal just for that role.

 

[Grimoz]

That was my thinking. But do you want to carry a guy on your list just for that reason? He could mentor him without playing.

Oh definitely, should have said not playing as i want him to retire, but if it was to play with the VFL side only then why not.

 

[frggr]

Parsons going will make some happy

Unfortunate for Schlensog and kennerly

 

[Grimoz]

I noticed Rahilly is gone too, now correct me if im wrong but doesnt assistant coaches salary go into the cap too? If so could we see some cuts from the assistants as well to free up space?

 

[Grimoz]

Parsons going will make some happy

Unfortunate for Schlensog and kennerly

For all the shit i give Parsons i do think he could get a rookie gig elsewhere, maybe for Gold Coast or Carlton as a forward. He had a couple of decent games for us and i always respected him for wacking Hodge!!!

 

[Johnny Cattery]

Presumably being delisted at this stage also means that there has been no interest from other clubs? And in retrospect, Cleary seems to have had inside information, with Parsons, Schlensog and Kennerley among the last listed in his article:

Who's in limbo: Harry Taylor is yet to make a decision on his future, however fellow defender Lachie Henderson is likely to win another extension. Tom Hawkins

Nice to see Oscar getting a Brownlow ...

 

[Sparkle]

Are we chasing the wrong Higgins? It appears the Tigers have told Jack Higgins he may be traded - great pressure and good goal kicking - and 12 years younger !!!

Surely we go after Jack Higgins, his ability to make something from nothing is fantastic - not quite Stevie J levels yet but there's encouraging signs he might one day develop a similar nous. Second round pick for mine

 

[Jazz71286]

On the clubs twitter.

Ralphy says his sources today say that Clark wants to stay at Geelong and cats don’t want to trade him despite all the noise so “probably stays”

Gotta love these journos..
He wants to stay, club wants to keep him = only a couple more days of milking lazy clickbait connections between him and WA.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Monster ranking points as a junior. Highest ever even maybe.

Agreed. I think if it weren't for Covid he'd definitely get picked up - with Covid list changes, it's not as certain, but I still think he's a chance. Maybe even at the Hawfs
