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

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Another first-round bust for us.

 

[calder_daddy]

What happened to Kreuger I thought he was going to be a gem?

You know when your in your garden and you see something shiny and think it’s good.
Then you pick it up and it’s just a clear pebble.
That’s Krueger

 

[FredLeDeux]

Then they could have just kept Fort. They didn't want to play Fort but I'm assuming they will be more willing to pick Ceglar.

They were just helping out Fort, who wanted to go to Brisbane, and we needed an adequate back-up to replace him.

 

[Two Planks]

Pickering on trade radio tonight said Talia had a foot issue that he needed to get right before he could even contemplate playing again.

 

[grum]

Gregson had an excellent first year a few years back too, that worked out well.

Didn't Gregson have more serious injury and missed heaps more time, unlucky which can happen, point taken but.

 

[Two Planks]

McCartney on trade radio tonight said the Giants pick 2 will be valuable on the night becuase after the father son bidding and Horne Francis going to North, that it would be the first live pick of the night.

That indicates to me that the Giants will bid on both Daicos and Darcy and then see what offers come in.

 

[year of the cat]

Now do it with Wells making the selections.

I don’t know their names to try.

 

[PeasFC]

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

Shame one of essendon or GWS didn't miss the finals - could have and probably should have been at least one more in the 20's!

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Tidy enough trade season.

Stengle is young, adds depth to our small forward group, and cost little.
Ceglar is a slight upgrade on Fort and cost little.
We lose Clark to Peel Thunder, and pick up pick 22 and a future 3rd. Fine with that.

Now trade up current picks and hit Draft Lotto.

 

[Warhorse]

So we turned Krueger in Ceglar?

 

[Two Planks]

So we turned Krueger in Ceglar?

And turned 55 into 50 and got Hawks f4

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We traded 29 year old Fort for Ceglar + Early Future 4th. And Haw is paying most of it. Yep and the slightest downgrade of #41 to #45.

Its a nothing trade and not worth losing sleep over but which clubs not doing that trade?

Fort has played 8 games and turns 29. He would have been delisted had he not had a contract. To get Ceglar who is a similar age and a future 4th is more than fine

Agreed..fort probably would have been delisted 12 months from now anyway and we have an upgraded backup ruck for the next 2 years. Good result.

 

[Munich]

You know when your in your garden and you see something shiny and think it’s good.
Then you pick it up and it’s just a clear pebble.
That’s Krueger

Fair enough, I know nothing about him.

I guess Brownless going isn't a loss either.

 

[PeasFC]

Furthermore, Wells on Trade Radio said outright Edmund's report was false...

It's very lazy journalism.

The same standards should apply to tweets that we would hold an article to.
For example, an article claiming Jordan hung up on wells and that the call was heated would absolutely need to include the authors attempt to allow both parties to decline to comment, offer no comment or provided a quote in response.

The tweet for example should have been "sources tell me jordan clark hung up on steven wells in a heated phone conversation reinforcing his desire to be traded. Stephen wells and jordan clark have both denied this." no ones clicking on that though ey sammy

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Most obvious interpretation is replacing Fort with Ceglar so we won’t see him often.

Replaces fort as an upgrade and means blitz can stay at full back if stanley gets injured..protects neale from being thrown in too early..win-win-win on all counts.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Backup? Is Ceglar any worse than Stanley?

 

[PeasFC]

Agreed..fort probably would have been delisted 12 months from now anyway and we have an upgraded backup ruck for the next 2 years. Good result.

Love this point.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I think they'll prepare for the contingency, have a trade pre-agreed to be done on the night but won't have use it

Possibly..will be interesting to see how it unfolds..i dont think we will use more than 4 picks so i think we will be trading up either now or on the night.

Might be a stretch. I have him pegged at a solid 150

There is a reason 'fake news' has exploded... because it's true - media outlets will do absolutely anything to get clicks and engagement including straight up lying.. Because of 'freedom of the press' they have no obligation to tell the truth so instead say 'sources said' to remove any personal liability.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Another first-round bust for us.

Got an almost first rounder back for him though so we get another throw at it.

Agree.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Can someone less lazy than me do all the picks in and out this trade period?

I would also like to know and am also lazy

Blitz at fullback... Please dear lord no... The dude is the ultimate panic merchant - the last thing we need is him on the last line of defence dropping his pants after his opponent kicks a few.
