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

[Pure_Ownage]

they will want something for 2022

Depends on whether they want any points left over after darcy to draft guys in r2/r3 or whether they are happy to use pick 80 90 etc to fill the rest of their list spots. But i agree they will either want extra points this year or future picks (either of which we can offer) to trade 23 out.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So this time next year we should expect to see McEvoy, Gunston & Shiels in the hoops...

Shiels is contracted to 2023 im fairly sure. I dont think that list has been updated. Mcevoy will retire and what gunston does depends on if hr can stay fit i reckon. Be interesting to see if sicily stays clubs will chase him if he leaves.

Can take over the close or dahlhaus role of small forward who doesn't kick goals

Would prefer close to play the high HF role and Miers to stay closer to goal tbh

 

[year of the cat]

Who would we be trading up to 23 to target that wouldn’t be there at 30?

I’d happily give up our 34 and future 2nd round pick for there 23

Imagine having 22 and 23 and a club wanting both those picks
Could get something great back
Won’t happen but we can dream

I wouldn't mind Sier now that he has been desisted, always thought he was decent, even pies fans aren't pleased, also surprised about Thomas getting the boot too.

Sier = Constable

Constable = Sier

Presumably you’d only trade for 23 if there were 2 players (or at least 2 of a group of 3-4) that you are particularly wanting that you are confident won’t be there in the 30’s. Knevitt probably one of them as he seems to be rising in the phantoms. Just wondering who else we’d be thinking we’d have to trade up to get?

Very much doubt we’d trade them out knowing we need to replenish so many areas of our list now.

I have some players in mind. Brown might be one (after his good testing i think he could be a late bolter) ditto knevitt, maybe chesser if we think he slides out a bit or wilmot who i really rate. I know you like mcdonald and taylor who are another couple around that mark. Conway could be another but i doubt we take a ruck. From what wells said i reckon our 4 R2s (if we end up keeping them all) will be focused on mids and maybe a half back with speed to replace clark.

I like Wilmot, and he seems like he’d make a fine small defender, but I’m not sure I’m prioritising him in front of mids with at least the first two picks.

Chesser, Knevitt, Brown, MacDonald and Taylor would all be great gets. Add Long to that list too. Pretty confident we can get 3 of them. I’m a bit of a late fan of Knevitt but I’m keen now to grab him with our first.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

So like the Brock Lesnar of the AFL?

We could bring in The Beast to play full back.

 

[Danger handballs we win]

Gehrig was always insanely fit too, except for the tail end of his career where he copped a few injuries. But its funny because early in his career he was a pacey winger and in the end he was a monster forward. Imagine if Hawkins was a winger from 07 to 2012 and then became a KPF after that.

Gehrig, 1995, drafted to the Eagles in 1993 VS Gehrig, PF 2004.

The cynic in me thinks steroids are amazing things

I don't understand it.... Can someone pass a message to him, saying I don't agree with what they have done? I'm his biggest fan

They are fazing out talent for athleticism. I think they've forgotten the art of getting the pill. A little important. Get ball go forward 6-6-6 and presto

WA media saying Brander will be delisted prob this week to allow him to find another home.

Carlton I think is the destination isn't it?

 

[Chinacats]

Chook might hold on. The rest will be here I would have thought

Gotta be the worst under 30 list in 2024 in the competition. Our butcher jobs in September in 16-17, 19-21 gonna sting when we are fighting for the spoon 24 and beyond.

 

[Chinacats]

That’s the spirit China, another upbeat post from your good self.

Should I say Ceggars will take us to the promised land just to please you? We had big chances in 19,20 & 21. Remember we were 44 up and headed for top in round 23 at home and we butchered it. If you want to live in fantasy land then go ahead!

 

[Live in hope]

I feel like the delisting of Brownless means it’s a strong chance he could be replaced by McLaughlin from our VFL side.
Give the kid a chance

As much as I like the idea of incentivising great VFL performance with possible rookie spot - McLaughlin is a no. Way, way too small and at that size have to be exceptional in other attributes, particularly elite in speed, agility, disposal, tackling - he’s good rather than elite in any of these.

 

[Chinacats]

hahahahah your alternative captain critical? Ive never seen anyone throw more shade without ever offering the alternative. I guess that's why they call them the cheap seats!!

Fresh meat and no 30+ers! You think cats are not good enough anyway as you always make excuses for our September flops. So …. In it for the banter?

Guessing this is satire or do you claim to have a crystal ball with which you can look into the future?

There's 2 trade periods and 3 drafts to take place before we reach the 2024 season, so making such claims as the above this far out is just laughable

We will be fine! Covid will help us rebuild- there is no better club to benefit from it with our return to region factor or country lifestyle but also with the absolute best team in the business at mature age recruits from state leagues

All blokes who were 15-18 in 2019 have missed two years of footy- it’s simple maths - this is prime fall through the cracks or interrupted lifestyle and development territory.

There will be more Stewart’s out there then ever before

Not really. Season 2022 will soon be upon us. We don’t have a high pick this draft we are all in next year for September again and then flop so we won’t get a high end pick next draft. We have shipped off Clark & Krueger and not really anything outstanding in the under 25 brigade at our club compared to many other clubs. It’s not laughable actually it’s very very real.

 

[Danger handballs we win]

Can someone please repost that amazing summary of our entire list and the draft/rookie picks used for them?

So you don't actually know what's going to happen or what our list profile will actually look like and instead are jumping to the worse case scenario

We haven't even had the 2021 draft, and as for season 2022, it's still 5 months away

Maybe try looking at the positives for a change rather than focusing on some preconceived, unknown and unfounded negatives
