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

[CatToTheFuture]

Where is the source Cam Ling maybe returns as a assistant coach?

Whoever wrote that lingy is coming back had to have been high as a kite when they wrote it

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm finding it interesting that apart from a lot of media hype, Clark (or his agent) hasn't officially asked for a trade.

When do you think this occurs, after the FA allotted period?

I actually would like to hold him because I still believe in the talent but he has to be onboard with what the coaches are asking and what the team overall needs.

Bnf has happened so no real hold on it unless the agreed trade scenario is yet to play out

 

[CatToTheFuture]

He publicly asks for a trade and the 1 year deal on the table probably goes.

So they'll quietly look for something, and because nothing is forthcoming he'll quietly sign that 1 year deal and try again next year.

Are you taking about Clark here? If he was to sign for the cats I think we'd have no hesitation throwing him a 3 year extension.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Does not exist as there is no chance it will happen.

 

[CatRiot]

Don't care that he was dropped. I care that our list has a binary switch between contending with him not being best 22 and playing kids with him not being a player you build around.

There is no plausible argument that tucker would be b22 at the cats in any reasonable scenario

Our list demographics suggest we will lose a lot of experience in our midfield - Smith, Duncan, Tuohy - our faster outside midfielders are all in the twilight years... I don't mind getting him on the list at his age if its a packet of chips type trade without compromising our draft picks. He is an outside midfielder, we won't building a midfield around him, he will just compliment it. He has a big engine, is quick, has a good left boot on him, and his footy IQ is better than Murdoch's. He's not a world beater, but in the right system, he might be okay depth for a few years.

I believe Cats, like most clubs, are on the limit with their salary cap.
With Selwood asked to sacrifice a pay cut to bring in last years trio.
The delisting's to date have been of minimal cap benefit
So I doubt we can afford a money chasing good player
Nor can we afford to squander picks on rejects from other clubs.
Picking up unhappy game seeking kid is our best choice.
I don't believe the club wanted Kreuger or Clark to leave...
especially with Hendo vacating and ideal spot for Kreuger
Clark was made an offer the club couldn't match.
Being forced to play some Kittens will prove to be a blessing

Rumour has it Cats are seeking to trade up for an early pick.
If so, He had better be a ready to play gun...
Rather that our usual left-field injured bargain bin find.
Would prefer to have more even picks that one good one.
We will need to fill a huge talent hole in the near future
Thankfully we will have the Salary Cap space to do so.

Not sure who the Cats will pick but sure hope he has the right stuff.
Especially those things that cannot be coached into you....
Physically:-
Height, Speed, Power, Athleticism, Agility, Co-ordination, Balance
Reflexes, Anticipation, Spatial Awareness, High IQ, Durability
Mentally:-
Self Confidence, Self Motivation, Desire to Succeed. Goal Setter.
Self Discipline, Optimism, Leadership, Low Anxiety, Ability to Focus,
Mental Resiliency, Determination, Killer Instinct,
Ability to learn from Setbacks, Humility, Appreciation.
... and a Sense of Humour.

Wow, going to add thia to my job recruiting interview template! Thx

Clark is a bust. Not worth a pick in the 30's.

Said it when he was drafted..

What made you say it when he was drafted? Did you still think it after his first year when many people had him on par with all of the best players from the super draft?

 

[Turbocat]

Has Mitch Knevitt listed at 181cm and 77kgs... whoopsy

Shame we can't get Brown as Father son, sounds like he is the bolter.

Can someone paste the names of the Top 30 just released in the Herald Sun?

I think Jack called it very early. I'm not sure I agree even now that Clark is a bust if he is traded and gains a 4 year contract..but if we do not get 50 games from our R1 pick then Id say he he is correct when in respect of us.

 

[Turbocat]

Future 3rd for Kreuger.

A pick in the 40's to use next year. Probably sounds about all we can expect for a player who has only played a couple of games.

 

[Turbocat]

A future 3rd could be pick 38. I'd take that for Kreuger.

It would almost certainly be in the 40's somewhere.

The problem is that playing "ok depth" is counter productive in a rebuild. His position, being non-structural, is one you put a draftee in when building the list. Otherwise you're not building the list.

I agree

I think Tucker is the type you add when you feel you are in contention and are just finessing the list, when you still believe you have a strong core going forward. If we are still in contention and we feel Tucker will compliment our needs he probably makes sense to add to our list. If we now out of contention then add him , even for a fringe pick will only prevent games for someone younger that might be the core of your side in the next 3 to 4 years.

Our B&F was almost a glimpse into our needs. If he is not a lock for our needs and best 22 ... then I think we should say no. I have a feeling club will continue to believe they are a legit finals threat and look at adding players like him

 

[year of the cat]

Tucker has some good attributes but I wouldn’t want to trade for him. Happy to take him as a delisted FA. I’d have him in front of a number on our list. He’s got good speed and is a nice, long left foot kick. Wouldn’t be the worst pick up.

 

[Jmac2225]

Likely deal shaping up would see Clark & p34 for Tucker & p27.

Not sure that I like that deal but Clark has a very high ceiling but given proven performance it’s seems fair. Maybe if we play hardball we nab a future 3rd rounder too.

Think Tucker would be a decent addition to our squad although not sure where he fits at the minute.

Still hoping we hold onto Clark and think there is a chance of it as he has yet to officially request a trade.

To get a 7 spot upgrade and a player that is on their fringe and out of contract is a terrible deal. I would hope that wouldn’t be agreed to.

So cats have already ruled out trading Clark for pick 27. Now all of a sudden we are going to give them pick 34 as well, to get Darcy Tucker.
Put it in the very unlikely to not happening basket.

The club will certainly go for the flag next season. I don’t know how good Tucker is but if he can’t add to our immediate flag threat and he is a not going to help the mini rebuild when we lose all those old players end 2022, then I don’t see much point in getting him.

To be fair we really need good players in the 24-28 age bracket-more of them. I dont think tucker is good enough though.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Hey Guys, my opinion has always been the best assessment you will get of a player, is from the team they play for's Big footy forum.
Darcy Fort?

We don't know cos he hardly got played..

Lol not happening tucker is steak knives at best. Tucker and 27 for clark and 52 i could live with buy honestly id rather not take him.

If we actually want tucker we can trade him in and keep clark anyway.

Yeah we do need a few in that bracket but it's about where. You need rucks, kps, and ballwinners. Players like him you just draft in a rebuild
