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

[foxdog50]

He is contracted until the end of 2022 so still got a year and a half

Not if he asked to be traded at the end of the season

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Stanley will almost certainly retire. Go for Meek. He looks a good prospect. There are rarely any guarantees unless you trade for an established ruck which would cost the Earth.

Meek would at least be an inexpensive trade i would have thought.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Not sure about the idea that you can’t trade for good ruckmen. I mean generally good players at any position don’t move but just off the top of my head McEvoy, S.Jacobs, Ottens, S.Martin, Nankervis, and Mumford come to mind and I’m sure there’s plenty more. Between McEvoy, Ottens, Nank, and Mummy that’s probably majority of the premierships the latest 15 years.

Agree..we just need to trade in the right one.

 

[Turbocat]

Agree..we just need to trade in the right one.

The best you can do is maintain a stream on development and also recruit when applicable.

If the right players says they want to join you club , then obviously you look at needs and cost. Is there enough talent to purely just rely on someone else to draft and develop. What if all 18 clubs did that ?

Its hard to pay the price at the draft. Years away from return. Lets say we add Conway at this years draft , after adding 3 talls the last 2 years. Giving him enough development time might be difficult.

There are no easy answers , yet most of the players we seem to like have been drafted by other clubs. Meek, Flynn etc.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

One thing I'm noticing on Stanley's social media is an increase in posts in regards to family and life outside of football

I know that's not necessarily uncommon, but it feels that if you were to look at the content he's posting and if you didn't already knows he's a footballer, his social media account wouldn't give the idea of him being one

Some people have said if you look at him playing you wouldn’t know he’s a footballer. Sorry couldn’t help it

 

[Turbocat]

So what's Sav worth in dollars. The sooner we get him signed the better if he is our current #1. Id hate for him to hit form and suddenly gets significant offers we have to match

He seems pretty happy in geelong and I don’t think he’d enjoy the pressure of playing at a big Melbourne club. He needs time and games to get better. I’d give him an extra year as security 3 years $500,000. That’s reportedly what Dahlhaus is on isn’t it?
The issue is it’s not really clear yet that he’s worth that. It’s easily arguable he’s not currently in our best 22. But he’s playing a role while they hope these games will propel his development.

 

[strauchnyy]

Don’t really think Darcy is worth what Freo would demand and what we’d end up giving. Actually think Clark will be the better player so wouldn’t want to involve him.. we’ve given away too many picks of late… rather keep our capital and hit the draft. Or go for a cheaper ruck with the standard R3 pick. The nank, witts, type trade for a ruck struggling to get a game that’d thrive

Clark will be better than Darcy?

He's got a hill to climb right now...and its a big one.

Apples and Oranges. Better is so hard to define. Probably will never be more valuable than Darcy as Clarks type are easier to find. Yet in his drafted rated higher. Id not be surprised if Darcy wins freo's B&F this year..be a while before Clark wins a B&F I think.

 

[you pick one]

Right now he's tracking Josh Walker,2 years at what ever $average I have no idea of pay rates.

 

[Turbocat]

More whipped cream...

The question id ask..why would Geelong trade him? For what pick? For what player. If Darcy is off the table , I cant see them offering something that make us action a trade

Cats speedster hot property in the west, Eagles' trade hands tied


CONTRACTED CAT IN DOCKERS' SIGHTS

FREMANTLE is set to ramp up its pursuit to lure speedster Jordan Clark out of Geelong this year as he continues to remain on the outer at the premiership contenders.

The Dockers explored the possibility of a trade for Clark last year before he opted to remain at GMHBA Stadium where he is contracted until the end of 2022.

It's understood conversations with Cats captain Joel Selwood were integral in his decision to remain put and fight for a senior spot this season.

However, the Dockers are expected to only increase their interest in the 20-year-old who has been in and out of the Cats' senior side since round five.

Clark played the first four games of the year at AFL level before he was relegated to sub duties for three games and selected in the starting side on two more occasions. He subsequently hasn't been picked since round 11 and wasn't named an emergency last week with the Cats having a near full-strength squad to pick from.

The West Australian junior falls in the ideal age demographic for the Dockers to complement their rebuild under coach Justin Longmuir.

Clark was originally drafted after limited junior exposure at pick No.15 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft and impressed with his daring run and carry off half-back in his debut campaign, playing 18 games and signing a contract extension to 2022.

He has played just 12 games since with the Cats opting to use him on a wing and a bit-part player in attack in 2021, having fallen out of their plans to play across half-back.

After admitting he was disgruntled at times during the hub in 2020, Clark attacked the 2021 pre-season with a strong block of summer training but has been overlooked recently in favour of others including recruits Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins.

Any move would be dependent on the Cats allowing Clark to walk given he remains contracted. They previously held Tim Kelly to his contract in 2018 after strong interest in his home state. However, last year they allowed contracted midfielder/forward Lachie Fogarty to depart after he expressed a desire to move to Carlton. - Mitch Cleary

EAGLES' HANDS TIED IN TRADE PERIOD
WEST Coast will be blocked from trading its first-round pick this year unless it can collect a second early draft selection.

Under the AFL's future trading rules clubs must use two first-round picks at the NAB AFL Draft over a rolling four-year period. It is a handbrake put on by the League to ensure that clubs can't trade away all of their future picks and land themselves in long-term pain.

Clark is contracted so therefore will command a higher price than he would otherwise. They currently have pick 10 in this years draft. That should do it.

I'd do that in a heartbeat.

 

[Sttew]

Straight swap Clark for Darcy. If Freo see Clark as such an important cog in their rebuild then they'll have to pay the price. If Darcy's off the table then tell'em they're dreaming

 

[Drunkcat]

Meek and pick 10 thanks Freo

 

[Chinacats]

Narkle & Clark to the West? What would we get if we package that ?

 

[gaz love x]

Is Meek showing any more than Fort currently? Obviously he's younger but we have developing rucks on the list now so the next couple of years is the gap that needs to be covered.

Tsapatouls and Neale as ruckman are 3 to 4 maybe more away, Meek has been in the system 4 years now and this year he is now showing good signs

 

[Warhorse]

Clark will be lucky to net us anything within the first 25 picks

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

David Mundy is nearly old enough for our club?
Clark, Narkle, and two second rounders for Mundy?

 

[PzBlinky]

Not enough exposed form - give it another season or two.

I wonder if they'd go for a straight swap Clark for Meek? We're not playing him, which lowers his value - but vice versa with the Dockers and their #2 (or #3?) ruck.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Cats are all over Cerra. The Darcy thing is largely media speculation off the back of a comment made by someone in WA media (I think it was Sumich). Darcy is not going anywhere ...... Cerra on the other hand wants out and headed back to Vic.

As for Clark - he'll be gone at the end of the year. As will Narkle.

If we can get Cerra for Clark and Narkle and not too much else, Ill be happy with that.

 

[Grimoz]

Clark for Cerra... Done!!!
