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

[catempire]

According to this we've made an offer to Daniher:

Bitter aftermath amid messy AFL divorce

Essendon’s forgettable season continues to spiral downwards after reports of “serious unrest” among the club’s roster.

www.news.com.au

Also mentions Saints in the box seat for Caldwell

Again, not sure we would be doing that (the offer for Daniher) if Cameron was considered to be in play.

Wants to be closer to his sister in Albury


Wonder what other Giants will make announcements in the coming days

Wouldn’t GWS be close enough to Albury? Seems like a little bit of a cop out wanted to be within 3 hours drive to your sister, just an excuse IMO

Maybe, as McClure () suggested, he is no longer in play?

Hard to know what to believe.

Agree but have to consider that the whole Daniher thing might be bs.

With Williams walking, I suspect Cameron stays unless he is really unhappy. They must have a fair bit of cap sitting there now.

 

[Larry Donohue]

so if you have to delist 10 players ..you keep Steven..?

We don't have numbers yet which must be annoying for the clubs but 38/2/2 would see quite a few go to make room to add at least three thru draft and more if we add mature players ...

That is a particularly tough question
I would be pretty ruthless and remove players no of size who weren't quite a ble to reach great heights. That means removing some I like too.
Young guys to keep for mine
Parfitt
Cockatoo
Clark
Kolo
Stephens
Fogarty
Kreuger
Narkle
Constable
Ratagolea
Evans
Tarca
Henry
O'Connor
Close
Taheny
Okunbor
Sclensog if coming on with ruckwork
Others to keep
Stanley
Tuohy
Steven
Selwood
Duncan
Rohan
Bews
Henderson
Hawkins
Menegola
Guthrie
Dangerfield
Dahlhaus
Stewart
Blicavs
This allows 5 more into the club
3 first rounders and 2 free agents/trades
Left Jenkins Out presuming Cameron or daniher on list.
Viney/crouch/higgins
Bruhn/Walsh
Henry
Zach Reid

Delist
Jenkins
Brownless
Fort
Atkins
Parsons
Simpson reluctantly
Zach Guthrie trade if possible
Use Jarvis and Kennerley as ADELAIDE trades if they match crouch or delist
Retire Taylor and Ablett

 

[Leeds17]

Not surprising we are not linked with Saad or Williams considering this coaching groups preferred style.

Probably an excuse, but 2 hours is heaps closer than driving from Sydney

Melbourne isn't much closer to Albury than Sydney is.

ROFL - true. Saad also doesn't want to leave Melbourne

 

[frggr]

Melbourne isn't much closer to Albury than Sydney is.

Sydney to Albury is 550km vs 320 to Melbourne.

One's doable comfortably as a weekend trip, not the other.

Can sit on 110 in NSW. But in the grand scheme of things it's stuff all.

You can do that in Victoria too for the most part along the Hume. It's almost two and half hours more from Sydney at the speed limit.

 

[you pick one]

He'l be right as long as Dan is in control

 

[Pure_Ownage]

His best is better than theirs but we haven’t really seen it. We’ve nursed him to this point but now what? We need Close/Atkins pressure more than the hope of what Steven can bring on a good day.

Atkins and close can't find the footy and aren't goalscoring threats to keep defenders accountable they don't offer enough outside pressure.

The only one of consider swapping Steven for is Fogarty because he offers pressure but also can really find the footy and hit the scoreboard if given opportunity. But I doubt we will go that way back has experience and could pull one of his game changing performances out of the bag in finals and I think we will back that in.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Again, not sure we would be doing that (the offer for Daniher) if Cameron was considered to be in play.

I think with Williams going Cameron will now get the money he wants to stay and we will chase daniher hard. Good target for us IF he passes a medical.

He's moving for money players just don't say it so they make up excuses.

If we must keep Steven in the side and the list put him where he can use his natural talents ..he look like he is fridgid playing the way he is .. a version of Ablett X Danger ... let him get the ball ..then try to kick it .. and chase down players. he will never be anygood being asked to play chess board footy .. I could imagine him being a lot better in a the richmond side.


In relation to this thread Fogarty was in the press as wanting to look around ... he is contracted...

 

[fargothegreat]

You blokes have been linked to a lot of players this year, mids and key forwards. Cameron, Daniher, Crouch, Viney, Higgins.

Obviously, you won't land them all and could probably only afford the one (possibly two?). Who do you think is most likely?

I think the only one would be is Crouch in my eye

Crouch on his way to Rich I believe ... seem to be todays rumour..

Agree with this.
They are handy, but Fogarty, Simpson, Close and Atkins are now officially "break glass in case of emergency".

 

[fargothegreat]

Last I heard on this was we were thinking Crouch was unlikely because the money he was after was more than we could offer.

But if it's between us and you guys, you'd assume neither club would be in a position to overpay.
