Rumour GFC 2021 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists... Part II

[strauchnyy]

We really need to trade up in the draft for WB’s pick 23

 

[Gee Class Loco]

So the 3rd round pick from Freo, is that Carltons or Freos?

Carlton's which will be anywhere between 46-50 (300 odd points)

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Now my favourite game when an overrated player leaves:

How many career AFL games will Jordan Clark play? He is currently on 32.

I’m setting the line at 82.5.

Over/under?

Well over

 

[Sttew]

I'm not sorry to see Clark go. The guy ended up being a huge w***er.

He wasn't in best 22 in 2021 or 2022. I'm not sorry either. Once he declared he wanted out midway through the contract that was it for me.

 

[grum]

Yep 19 or fu** off was my stance too,but done now so once again we just suck it up.

We do, at least we usually do well with rookies and late draft pics.

 

[foodles05]

Again?!!?

If you play 18 games in your first year for a team that finishes top of the ladder including some breath taking explosive moments. Then you finish 5 in the rising star from a group of the best credentialed draftees we have seen in 20 years then yeah you are very very exciting as a young player. They are simple objective measurements.

 

[BigCat1]

so basically a pick in te 40's. ... and we gave a pick close to 70. if we finsh top4

Unless list sizes increase there are only 60 max draft selections so anything above 50 is just a waste of airtime.

Next year we have approx pick 14, 32, 46, 50 and 64.

Depends who/what Wells & Co are targeting in the draft.

 

[foodles05]

Like the LSD is working wonders.

Fair enough well you have much more chance of being right than me considering his last couple of years but I'll book mark this all the same.

 

[calder_daddy]

Thanks Sandra Sully with the late news...

Someone’s stealing your news timeslot

 

[Turbocat]

Not sure about that ..it depend on delisting ... but that picks is right at the very back of the draft. Its almost just a face save.

We really need to trade up in the draft for WB’s pick 23

Two consecutive picks at that point would be handy.

If we could take 22, 23, 34, 50 into the draft it would be a nice hand.

 

[Tony Barber]

Daylight robbery.
He’s not even worth a top 30 pick

I'm really surprised pick 19 was even discussed.
32 ish would have made sense.

Run cats, run.

 

[foodles05]

Wonder if being in his home state improves him, like some players who go home, or he does a Kelly and is worse for returning to his home state.


Freo will gift him at least 3 years worth of games, so if he is on 32 he will get to at least 77 @ 15 games a year minimum. Its going to be tight on the overs and unders. The kicker is if he is injured or not. I think he will end up playing 100 games at least before he retires, whenever that is.

Can someone please provide one shred of proof about objective attitude problems. He wasn't treated well even Cameron Ling admitted that and may have had a bad relationship with Scarlo. Somehow this is proof he is a bad egg. He came as one of the most well spoken dedicated young people in the draft. Clubs who spoke to him including us has him as future captain material such was his maturity and character when interviewed.

The top photo is pre Ceglar and Clark deal.
The bottom photo is after the deals have been done.

Come on down WB & Pies

Thanks to Lore for all the great work over this long period.
I’m sure there will be a few pick swaps happening between now and draft night

 

[cats_09]

My favourite thing about some opposition fans is that they don't believe Freo caved/blinked first or whatever you call it, because there's a future 4th involved in the Clark trade - they somehow think they got the better of the deal and Wells panicked to get it done

Really don't see that

Pretty sure we would have always been happy to include a future forth as the future third is an upgrade on it

 

[foodles05]

And before people question that I was involved in one of the interviews.

 

[standupand]

I used to worry when we came up against Hawthorn and Ceglar. I've always rated him.

Just watched his highlights package. My favourite part is seeing him crunch Jeremy Cameron in a massive tackle. Maybe he'll grow on me.

 

[Sticksman]

I bet Matty Scarlett is feeling vindicated tonight.

 

[Turbocat]

Carlton's which will be anywhere between 46-50 (300 odd points)

40 or so will be useful next year. Going by this year with GWS and Ess ... Carlton probably go gangbusters and finish top4... its then later than we hope

 

[AM]

He wasn't in best 22 in 2021 or 2022. I'm not sorry either. Once he declared he wanted out midway through the contract that was it for me.

Similar. But I think he was recruited as a running half back and we (I reckon Scarlo) wouldn't play him there. London to a brick Freo will.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Pick 22 is good.

 

[Turbocat]

Two consecutive picks at that point would be handy.

If we could take 22, 23, 36, 50 into the draft it would be a nice hand.

bout as good as we could get.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Where’s that Freo poster who wanted us to bookmark the pick 27 and Tucker trade?

 

[JackFlash]

Cats should avoid interstate players like the plague at the draft...the traitor is gone and may his name never be mentioned again! Cats get Stengle who is a risk worth taking and Ceglar in and keep their draft picks. Bloody Fremantle just stuffed it all around and made it difficult to trade a contracted and required player.
