Rumour GFC 2022 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists PT2

[GeelongFTW]

Norf shouldn't waste their time. Basket case lol.

JHF leaving surely places Roos in the box seat for Bowes, they can comfortably accommodate his salary and offer him midfield time.

Pick 7 alongside pick 1 and whatever they get for JHF will set them up nicely.

The issue as always is that a player has to want to go there.
Jhf leaving makes them even more likely to stay down the bottom of the ladder so i cant see bowes wanting to go there unless they offer him insane money.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

37 and 47 or 37 and Esava should be enough for Bruhn.
Alternatively could trade those picks for a future second to use to trade to the Suns.

Nah sav doesnt have enough value for giants to take that.could trade 37 47 and 52 for a future 2nd though and flip that for bowes.

 

[Wellsy35]

These kids asking for a trade earlier now then ever... Feels like the kids these days are a bunch of soft c%cks.... not all of them, only the ones that ask to be traded

Nah, just seems like it. Buckley did the same thing 20 years ago. Most of the trade outs tend to be from the expansion clubs, e.g. Boyd.

North were dumb to have drafted him in the first place. Should have bid on Daicos at 1 and drafted Callaghan instead, or taken the Crows’ offer.

 

[Jumping Jack]

If Bowes wants immediate game time - and given his age and years in the system you would have to think that that would be his main priority in picking a club - then I don't really get why he would choose us over the many other clubs that would offer easier pathways to the first team. Not that I'm complaining, though, obviously, if he does end up choosing us.

I get that a lot of the appeal of Geelong is our success, but I legitimately struggle to see who he'd replace in our best 22 next season.

I think there’s a reasonable chance Menegola might look elsewhere if Bowes is in.

That’s the role (or Tuohy) that they’ll be pitching to Bowes as best 22.

Need to use a R1 pick this year or next

Can get an afl exemption for that which they would surely give.

I guess the uncertainty around Clarkson makes them a difficult sell at the moment.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Can't trade out a f1st and f2nd unless you get one of either back

Correct but if we trade 37 47 and 52 and 55 for a clubs future 2nd then we can trade out our fr1 (henry) and fr2 (bowes).

Sadly it does.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Strange from the Josh Barnes article. Seems like the club is seeking a ruling?

Atkins has to be elevated as has done 4 years.
Close has done 3 but the afl allowed rookies to stay a 4th year during covid. Might be checking if we could use that loophole to not elevate close and keep an extra senior spot free although id just elevate him.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Sadly it does.

Maybe JHF will leverage that as a justification /excuse for his trade request? To change the narrative somewhat to his side

 

[Baudolino]

This is far more credible than tweets from some random account on Twitter, so I'd say it's likely that "John Doe" was just talking shit.

 

[Baudolino]

If Port can bring in JHF this year and then Kosi Pickett next year, that would be huge for their club.

 

[you pick one]

A little bit off track but is there a strategy in all this where we can wriggle a low future first rounder to have a crack at TDK next year using pick 7 for Norths first next year.Just spit balling.

But when Buckley did that trade 20 years ago, he wasn't from Victoria..

 

[year of the cat]

Looking at some vision of Bowes, the guy can play. Good mover, nice by foot. At worst he would be valuable midfield depth. We will be continuing to manage our older midfield players including Dangerfield and Duncan. He’d even be a reasonable inclusion for Tuohy too. Reckon he’d get more games than we may initially think. It’s unlikely we also get the charmed run with injuries we did this year too.

Esava is equivalent to one of those picks around 40. Those two picks or one with Esava is pretty similar to the Caldwell trade.
I’m sure the Giants want a better single pick but it doesn’t always work out the way teams want. Geelong like always will do a deal to get it done rather than haggle. But the Giants may just need to accept what’s available.

I’d be very surprised if we traded for pick 7 then traded that away for multiple later picks.

 

[strauchnyy]

If we use 18 or a future first for bruhn, you’d have to assume we’d be getting something back

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If Port can bring in JHF this year and then Kosi Pickett next year, that would be huge for their club.

Jhf will cost them 2 firsts and a player which means i doubt they have the currency for kosi next year.

 

[Turbocat]

Can if you bring one back in and a F2 is easier to gain than a F1
Someone like Esva perhaps

I think Haw broke the rule somehow ..and managed to do it

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Potentially yes maybe a future 3rd or so (which could then be on traded in the bowes or other trades).

 

[Turbocat]

and the hits just keep on coming for North ...

AFL Trades 2022: No.1 draft pick Jason Horne-Francis wants to be traded to Port Adelaide​

North Melbourne has been rocked on the eve of the AFL trade period with No.1 draft pick Jason Horne-Francis telling the club he wants out.

I think Haw broke the rule somehow ..and managed to do it

That year they traded their f1 and f2 for omeara by trading out 2 r3s for carltons late f2 (we could do a similar move with 2023 picks).
