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

[Commando]

Depends on their ladder position if its the same as this year it would be about 45.

yeah about mid forties if blues are mid table

 

[Shadow89]

Thought people might find it interesting, that those of us who said it was all an orchestrated show, were spot on - as confirmed by this Freo poster:

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Realistically he is backup, so if he plays 12 games each year thats fine. If he plays no games because Stanley is killing it, thats fine. And if he comes in because Stanley is injured, well we are better off going through a season with Cegs as ruck rather than relying on Esava and the kids, who are absolutely not ready.

Yep absolutely.

 

[catman2006]

Best part is the range of picks we have to go to the even draft with

 

[Whit3y]

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?

He will play more games then Stengle, Segler will play for us and Schlensog if we get him

 

[Lana]

So given that it's been confirmed it's our Future 4th and not the Hawks - that's much better.

This is the state of play as things stand right now (correct me if I get anything wrong):

OUT: Clark, Kreuger, Fort, Pick 55, Brownless (delisted rookie), Taheny (delisted senior), Jarvis (delisted senior) Jenkins (retired), Hendo (retired rookie), Okunbor Cat B (retired)

IN: Pick 22, Future 3rd (Carlton), Future 3rd (Brisbane) Ceglar (200K of salary paid), Stengle (when we take him as a DFA)

Constable likely to be delisted and taken as a rookie at best. So leaves us with 5 senior spots, 2 rookie spots and 1 Cat B. If we upgrade Close and Atkins, that makes it 3 Senior spots and 4 rookie spots, along with 1 Cat B.

We currently have in this draft:

Pick 22, Pick 30, Pick 32, Pick 34

If we can combine 34 and 32 and get up to 23, then we would have 3 picks, and most likely upgrade Atkins and Close. If we can get Schlensog to commit to us, we can take him as a rook (as Richmond won't touch him if he wants us), and possibly Brander through the Rookie draft (again if he says he wants to come to us). Get McLachlin and another Geelong boy with our last 2 rookie spots, and call it a day!

I think both Collingwood and Bulldogs are set for points, don't think they'd trade down for points unless they get caught out with a pick 1 bid.

 

[AM]

Wells on trade radio just then said that rumour is just flat out false.

Yep! Clark quashed it earlier. Another piece of Sam Edmonds bullshit.

 

[catempire]

Clark has said he didn't hang-up on SW.

Re read it AM. The statement was qualified.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Right then and there

Correct..some clubs will have more picks than list spots to use them (brisbane) other clubs will need to trade down for points (dogs, pies) so lots of pick swaps will happen in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we can trade up to 23 or 27 if not R1.

 

[catempire]

Just did it above

I’m lazier than you think!

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Now my favourite game when an overrated player leaves:

I’m setting the line at 82.5.

Over/under?

He’s At freo mate 200 easy with one final

 

[David the Cat]

Has that been confirmed, David? Or merely he has asked to come to us?

Well I read, and have heard that he's signed a 2 year deal with Geelong...I think its confirmed

 

[Shadow89]

Wells on trade radio just then said that rumour is just flat out false.

Edmund with massive egg on his face now. Warned him about this on trade radio today, haha. Said it's your word against his, and it's very close to defamation of character. He said he was 'comfortable with it' and 'knew that, otherwise would not have printed story.'

****ing vindication now that Wells has flat out buried him. Stupid piece of sh*t.

 

[rocker_oz33]

I’m lazier than you think!

Sorry to post personal information of yourself...

 

[Commando]

Absolutely stoked to have pick 22,30,32,34 in this years draft

For a team that finished top 2 the past three seasons plus acquired JC last year it really is astounding

 

[Shadow89]

Not necessarily just for points, but to have other picks to use in the draft other than F/s

 

[DanA]

How will you feel if half way through the year hes one of the most exciting young players in the comp again?

Gobsmacked that he put the work in to get there.

 

[calder_daddy]

For a team that finished top 2 the past three seasons plus acquired JC last year it really is astounding

Absolutely crazy isn’t it

 

[AM]

Re read it AM. The statement was qualified.

You're having a poor night CE. This is what Clark said.

 

[tielgaz]

So P22 plus a future 3rd which will probably be around P45.
Surely that's a deal if Freo are willing to offer him a 4 year contract?

They will be lucky to finish 9th

So essentially Fort for Ceglar for a 9 pick downgrade.
Not too bad, Ceglar has more runs on the board than Fort.

100% agree, all the crap about it being a bad deal is ridiculous. He can ruck and played 100 games fort hasn’t done anything and Hawks posting most of his wage. Great deal.

 

[thejester]

Shh people on here don't like criticism of Wells.

What year was Clark drafted again?

Do we even have anyone from that draft still on our list?

The mighty Tom Atkins

"We're a hard team to get a game in, and we don't apologise for that" - Stephen Wells 13/10/21
Can't believe he's nearly 62yo now.

 

[Burro]

He’s At freo mate 200 easy with one final

150 medical subs.

 

[Lana]

Not necessarily just for points, but to have other picks to use in the draft other than F/s

It just isn't an equitable result, you give a team a pick in the 20s to save your self a pick in the mid to late 40s
