I think McDonald will definitely be gone..tilthorpe probably will be..but there's some other talls I'd be keen on that might be available at our picks..chapman/cox/Reid etc.

Not sure Chapman but the other two yes ..... and it would seem others think the same ...

INDICATIVE DRAFT PICKS: 10, 15, 16, 33

PICK SWAPS ALREADY DONE

The Cats hold Gold Coast’s concession pick 11 as part of a pick swap with the Suns last year as well as having West Coast’s first-round pick which was part of the TIM KELLY trade deal. However, the Cats don’t have their own third-round (with West Coast) or fourth-round (with Essendon) selections.

WHAT DID THEY DO IN THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUNDS OF THE DRAFT LAST YEAR?

The Cats received an extra first-round pick from West Coast as part of the TIM KELLY trade, selecting midfielder COOPER STEPHENS at pick 16. They used their own pick 19 to select key defender SAM DE KONING and picked up forward FRANCIS EVANS in the second round at pick 41.

WHO’S IN THE MIX THIS YEAR?

List manager Stephen Wells would be licking his lips at the prospect of having two first-round draft picks to play with for a second-straight year.

Whether they keep both or offload one during the trade period remains to be seen, but it is a very nice position to be in after selecting two first-round picks last year.

Opposition recruiters feel that the Cats might target key position talent with at least one of their first-round picks this year, if they do indeed keep two.

Players who fit the bill include Victorian key defender ZACH REID and Victorian key defender or forward NIKOLAS COX.

West Australian key defender DENVER GRAINGER-BARRAS could also come into consideration if he isn’t snapped up inside the top-10.

Hi all. Coming in peace but someone put a rumor up on our board that we are keen to get Brandon Parfitt. No idea myself if there is truth to it but what is the feeling here as to how valuable he is going forward and could he form part of an overall trade for B Crouch?

Personally id walk away if that was the trade.... I don't see the increase that CRouch will give us to compensate for the loss of Parfitt

 

[romeohwho]

Like Crouch but have concerns re 95 games by 26-sounds like a lot of injuries to me and we have been down that path quite enough before. He’d have to come cheaply.

2 first round picks to play with? We have 3. Or do they know something we don't?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

But he isnt because it would be a Covid breach, nice story though!!!

'Shortly' Interpret that how you want.

Soft tissue injurys like hammy s .
He's only played one full season .

But good age at 26 .
Better than Steven @ 30yo..

I don't think Brad is Elite but he's a hard in and under type will get it 30 times a game.

Im starting to warm to him.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Brisbane: Cockatoo + 34, 88
Geelong: Witherden + 40

 

[strauchnyy]

he is but it assumes the Geelong contract offer is less than band 1 and the crows match

Why would you match when we’d only ever trade our last R1 when push comes to shove. Pick 17 or so instead of pick 20.

Geelong won’t trade more and would cause massive breakdown of relationships in that you’d force us to lose a R1 for the sake of nothing.

You will accept the band 2. You won’t get more from us

 

[rocker_oz33]

Brisbane: Cockatoo + 34, 88
Geelong: Witherden + 40

If we lost cocky and got Witherden thats a huge win.

Witherden didnt play much this year.
**** played StracFish over him.

Brisbane: Cockatoo + 34, 88

Making the best of a shit situation. Like it

 

[gaz love x]

Brisbane: Cockatoo + 34, 88
Geelong: Witherden + 40

More like Cockatoo + 34 for Witherden straight up. Brisbane would probably still say it's unders though

Depends on if Witherden wants out.
He barely played this year.

Birchall and Starfish played over him.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Witherden would be a good get.
I like him.

I imagine Brisbane will want to keep him and I believe he's contracted

"Barely played this year" - true but still more games than Cockatoo's managed in the past three seasons combined. Brisbane aren't giving up anything of worth for him.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Brisbane: Cockatoo + 34, 88
Geelong: Witherden + 40

Brisbane won't use 88 and witherden is contracted cockatoo isn't and witherden is worth far more than cockatoo. You would be looking at 34 and cockatoo for witherden as a bare minimum and I doubt that gets it done Brisbane will want more.

I come in peace to lol... from all reports Parfitt loves Geelong and wants to stay... i personally can't see him going anywhere...

We're just trying to make tears into wine.
Why you spoil it with logic....

 

[rocker_oz33]

SJ going back to GWS next season.
Hopefully Jezza hates him and Jezza comes to Geelong .

Yep, ok you are making it sound an attractive proposition. He will be 27 in January, but still a good age.

 

[Leeds17]

Like Witherden’s ability to rack up the ball but there’s a very strong defensive reason why they played Stracevich & at time Answorth/Hinge over him.

 

[catempire]

You hate to see it.

 

[cats_09]

Was Perryman linked to any other clubs?

GWS has re-signed one of its out-of-contract stars, with Harry Perryman putting pen to paper on a two-year deal that will keep him at the club until at least the end of 2022.

The 21-year-old’s signature was an important one with fellow star Zac Williams set to leave the club for Carlton, while key forward Jeremy Cameron’s contract negotiations with the Giants remain ongoing.

He’d be one of very few players at our club that can get a clearance with pure power, from a standing start, Guthrie, Parfitt, Mitch when he’s in there, Joel nowdays, need a bit of space and to hit it on the run most of the time.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Very quiet on the Cameron front. I think we're still a chance.

 

[Turbocat]

2 first round picks to play with? We have 3. Or do they know something we don't?

I saw that... nothing but quality as usual
