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

[Vdubs]

Any other decision would be astounding.

Disagree.
Stewart may not be thought of as appropriate for obvious reasons that we see, but the club also may see other factors.
I would not at all be astounded if he is in the group, but not captain.
Blicavs for me. Stable. Resilient. Loved by the coach, MC, and ALL OF US.

 

[D BRIDGE]

I think we will take Clark if available.

If it doesn't fall that way i'll happily cop these below names as different mid options.

Humprey
Ginbey
Tstatas

Busslinger & Mckenzie could be good options but I'm just less excited about them.

Bring on the draft... The wait is just dragging now.

[Two Planks]

I think Danger deserves to captain the club, he leads by example on field and is a great talker off it.

Wouldn't be overly upset if Stewart or Blicavs get the gig either.

 

[JohnZ]

Stewart may not be thought of as appropriate for obvious reasons that we see

which is? I cannot see any "obvious" reasons why he shouldn't or couldn't be captain

 

[calder_daddy]

Clark featured in the best players in 3/4 of the champs games, and 8/9 Falcons games. If he’s available we will take him.

I know he’s a good footballer
I just don’t think we need another 1 trick midfielder

I dont have a problem with Clark as such, more that I just dont think we need another small mid, Atkins,Parfitt and Bruhn with Willis,Whyte and Kroeger all just drafted that are all the same smaller mid type, how many can you really be playing in the same side when the top sides have midfields full of 185cm plus contested beasts? Would prefer we go for some size to be ready for when Danger and Guthrie aren't there personally.

Any other decision would be astounding.

I reckon Blicavs is a sneaky chance. Stewart ticks a lot of the right boxes but he cut a very angry figure on the field this year. Blicavs has the media presence, the pedigree and clearly sets standards for the group.

Good points. And his edge over Tommy in executing all those elite running patterns week to week could also be just enough to tip the scales in his favour.

My feeling is that with Holmes, Bruhn and Willis we have 3 young explosive type mids. Reckon you can only have so many of them. The bulk need to be consistent ball winning types that are reliable. That’s where Clark and MacKenzie appeal to me. I’m not sure Knevitt will make it but I’m pretty sure the aforementioned two will be Guthrie/Duncan types. Won’t exude x-factor but the type you nevertheless need to be successful.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

This is my guess

Pick 8 - Jhye Clark
Pick 58 - Harry Lemmey/tall

If Clark is taken earlier I think it'll be;

Pick 8 - Busslinger
Pick 58 - Gallagher

 

[Warhorse]

No I don’t expect phillipou to go in the 30’s.
Someone will sucked in and take him early.

But seriously. Anyone, anyone, go look at the Ashcroft and phillipou vids back to back and try and convince yourself phillipou deserves to be within 6 picks of Ashcroft.

It’s just chalk and cheese.

One looks to take off, has poor disposal and doesn’t care where the ball ends up.

The other wins the ball and immediately looks for an option and gut runs to get it again and then finish.

Look, I know we can’t get Ashcroft. But my point is they are moons apart.

In response to your other question about what we sell pick 7 for?
I have no idea what clubs have. But something like pick 15 this year and next years first round.

Compare him to who is available at our pick:
Clarke/Mckenzie

Clearly has a higher 'ceiling' than those 2 IF he continues to mature and develop. Arguably has a higher ceiling than Ashcroft as well. Phillipou is also an excellent forward so can get games into him earlier. Just a flip of the coin on whether he is a grand slam home run or a culture destroying bust.

 

[goyoucatters]

I personally would have no problem at all with selecting Clark if he's available (and they're settled on taking another mid). On the available highlights, he appears to do everything required of an inside mid rather well. And is clearly also a very solid citizen in terms of positive team culture. Zero flight risk as well, you'd imagine.

I'm yet to be convinced about the wisdom of taking the so-called 'POD' mids early in any draft, actually. Seems like the players who do all the basics well around the ball are often the premier talents across the comp. I look at Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Miller, Andy Brayshaw and Mills (all top-ten in AFLCA voting this year), and see players who are just really well-rounded at both getting the ball and then using it cleanly once they do. I wouldn't call any of them flashy at all; yet they're the basis of the elite group of mids currently in the game.

On that basis, I can see Jhye being a very welcome addition for us if he's still there at our first pick.

 

[Sticksman]

I'd like to see Blicavs as our next captain. He's become a rampaging beast with leadership written all over him.

Spot on goyoucatters - you can build a team around consistent workhorses who do things well and always compete.
You have to see the game well to dispose of it efficiently , Clark shows that in spades in his highlights

Danger certainly solidified his credentials with a solid inspiring finals series. I think the job is his if he wants it.

He looked a different person in this years finals series - didn't he mention he'd been seeing a sports psyche?
Seemed content to play his role to the best of his ability and not try to put the superman cape on at every contest.
What I also liked was the genuine joy he expressed for teammates at various stages - great leadership

 

[supahoops]

Is there a captaincy thread..? Surely I’m asking for more than myself..

We are discussing who will captain the side before Jhye Clark

 

[year of the cat]

This is my guess

Pick 8 - Jhye Clark
Pick 58 - Harry Lemmey/tall

If Clark is taken earlier I think it'll be;

Pick 8 - Busslinger
Pick 58 - Gallagher

I think that’s possibly the way they will go. Clark or if he’s taken then Busslinger. It wouldn’t be a bad result whichever way it went. I’d still take MacKenzie who will almost certainly be there if Clark isn’t. The only scenario that would see that not be is if GC took Clark and then the Hawks took MacKenzie which is a possibility I suppose.

 

[chris9753]

Yes ‘I good at this , great at this, and fantastic at that. I will be an terrific asset to whoever is lucky enough to pick me up’. I think he wants to start in the ones no doubt about it and likely to be be a know it all….

Different source but I thought Phillipou came across pretty well in this:

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He deserves to the only query is his age. Danger would only do it for 2-3yrs and by then stewart blitz duncan etc etc will all be too old for a handover so youd be looking at a handover to a younger player.

 

[BORIS332]

I know he’s a good footballer
I just don’t think we need another 1 trick midfielder

Our current midfield is either nearing retirement (Guthrie, Blicavs, Danger) or not settled in our best 22 (Parfitt, O’Connor). Every other player outside our GF 2022 is speculative.

He’s also very likely to be the best available at our pick if he makes it to us. At that stage in the draft you just pick the best player.

I would prefer buss or mckenzie over ginbey by far.
