I thought it was only First arounders…

If a club trades their future first round pick, they're unable to trade their other future picks - the club would need to acquire future pick/s from another club first and they can then trade those

 

[year of the cat]

You called it

The brothers club. What other brothers are out there? McKay twins, McCartins..... Daicos's

Well it could be argued that the McCartin’s played for us last Saturday..

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Has anyone seen much of Jhye Clark? I've only watched some highlights (which are often a terrible way to judge) but I wouldn't say I'm too excited based on the videos currently available.

Don't shoot me down, I'm aware I can't judge off 2min video, hence wanting others input.

No doubt looks competitive, plays quite tough but he is only 181 I think? Which isn't a deal breaker but if competitiveness is is main attribute then at 181 it is. Disposal doesn't look great (in the short videos), uses both feet but poppy kick.

He's no Selwood anyway which I'd read some had made the comparison. As a kid there was limited vision of Selwood too but he played quick, had plenty of tricks, evasive, good step, 360 blind turns and handballs out of traffic etc.

It will never be a fair comparison so we shouldn't even bother as an industry.

Puts ridiculous pressure on the kid and even if he ends up great if he's not Joel Selwood folks will be dissapointed.

Similar story with JU-H at the Dogs. Developing slowly but showing signs like a good young key forward does, but due to the Lance Franklin comparisons some have already called him a bust.

I'm in my 20s so I'll be around a while, and I still think I'll never see another Joel Selwood.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Hard not to be absolutely over the moon with this club at the moment. A premiership in the best way, fairytale end to the greatest of all in Selwood, players announcing babies, being a destination club, already having some super talented young blokes already on the list who will only improve and a few are premiership players.

Club has never been in a better place across the whole board.

 

[Turbocat]

Says Cal Twomey?? C'mon PO, Wells never uses other peoples rankings...
Not saying i know more... But as far as Ruckman go... He's the best of this years crop and looks like a bigger quicker version of Brodie Grundy.
Friends in SouthOz rate him.
We only have one ruckman under 31.
Great dynamic duo these two(Conway) would make once teams goes to a 23 man format...??

He moves well for a player of his size...any idea of his combine numbers?

 

[supahoops]

IF pick 7 gets to us what chance we then aim for pick 5 GC should acquire via Rankine trade. Don’t think we will
have a chance to aim that high again anytime soon.

 

[strauchnyy]

I can see tears when we get pick 7 but need to split it to pay for all the incoming talent.

Will be the dumbest decision we can make.

Bruhn and Henry are not the players worth splitting a top 10 pick for. Rather pass on those players in all honesty… but in reality we should be able to accommodate without the need to split 7

 

[Turbocat]

What is that ?? About 2nd rounders?? I know the 1st round policy... but 2nd rounders??

You can either trade you Future r1 ... or ... the picks after it ...but not both.

 

[Kitcat]

Saw him at Siketa Meats in Bell Park this morning… didn’t say he was going interstate

Then Sav took a private jet from Avalon.

 

[Cyclops]

He is uncontracted and not in your best side after two seasons. His draft value has not gone up. His end to this season was pretty poor. He is a lot like jordan clark albeit slightly younger. You can see the talent but he hasnt delivered anything yet, cant get in the top 22 and is uncontracted and wanting to leave.

Yes, all true.

He's a second year medium forward who plays taller (he pinch hit as a semi CHF and had to be rested because he got a little bashed up) and averaged a goal and a half including periods when we were losing. Not getting back into the 22 was a tiny bit curious. Johnson was dazzling a couple of times but Henry was doing the work and McRae picks for attitude first. Maybe his honesty about wanting to go to Geelong was read as an attitude problem? I don;t really know, we expected him back.

I'm mostly on the side of the players in these sort of deals and frankly on the Pies board is the more common outlook (obviously there's a few who want to "make [someone] pay!".

I think you will get him (and not for 7, we're dreamers but that would be ridiculous) and I think it will be worth it, he's gold, much stronger than Ash Johnson, basically a stronger version of the under-rated WHE.

Fair enough but 18 is about right imo.

You think so, and I think so, but probably the Pies will ask more. I don't know Wright as an administrator well, he might have some Hawthornish spite?

I want the deal to happen. Its will be good for footy.

 

[witsend]

But is neale actually any good? You could argue that sav and wylie buzza were also hawkins long term replacements at one point. They still have to be good players to do it.

Maybe too early to tell, but he has an aggression/hunger that’s really compelling. Seems to crave big moments and chock full of confidence. Great mark, seems to cover ground and proven goal kicker.

I'd happily take Hunter Clark

Excellent skills, frightfully slow and fragile.

This time two weeks ago I was stressing about coughing up the prelim to Brisbane.

A fortnight later and we won our last two finals by a combine 150 points, farewelled Selwood in the best possible way, have been widely celebrated for our classy post-game actions and now have two potentially elite young talents wanting to play for us.

It could honestly be the best ever fortnight I've ever had supporting this club.

 

[terry_bright]

Our 1st rounder + one of our 3rd rounders is enough for Henry.
Our future 1st rounder + one of our 3rd rounders for Bruhn. GWS have a strong draft hand this year that will only get stronger with Taranto & Hooper leaving. Can see them wanting some draft capital in the future.
If we get pick 7 (will turn into 8 come draft time), we’ll take it to the draft.

If we can get Bruhn, Henry, Bowes & McKenna (?), along with pick 7 and use one of 3rd rd picks (and the rookie picks) that’s a fantastic haul for a team that has just won the flag.

 

[Turbocat]

Make no mistake - the Cats have a plan. There's a bit to play out but they see a role for Bowes and Danger has stayed pretty close to him in recent times. Adding some appeal for us is the lure of pick 7 being attached to Bowes.

Pick 7 is right in Geelong's cross hairs and there's one player they are absolutely targeting, and that's Clark. Local kid and has spent much of this year being mentored by a bloke called Joel Selwood. Cats are very keen to get him in as some think he'll play senior footy next year. A pretty solid character it seems and definite leadership potential. Geelong quietly confident that he'll be there at 7 - if it's a line ball thing - other clubs will be very aware of the go home factor that is playing out with some other locals like Bruhn and Henry and target other kids with less risk ........... something that I think is becoming a bit of an advantage for the Cats.

So much water to go under the bridge, but the Cats are well placed heading into a trade and draft period straight off the back of winning the flag. You can only imagine how aggro some other clubs are about our position.

That is an interesting perspective... I think Rendell mentioned it of TR yesterday ... we had a very high number of non metro kids. but Bruhan and no Henry is really turbo charging this... no longer are we just looking at. Dangers and Rohans .... to look at players only drafted 2 years ago ..really starts to test judgments at the draft.

 

[Finknottle]

I think he’s going to be our best not a kpf forward since, well.. Stengle!

I watched his games for Collingwood this year. He was just ok, had a few highlights, but disappeared in games for extended periods. This is why he didn't play finals. Drafted at pick 17 but would have slipped down since then. He's probably worth a middle second round pick at best.

 

[Sire of Claude]

Neale has shown heaps - he's at least as mobile as Sav, probably more so, and a much much better kick. He will get quite a few games next season, as older talls are rested, and possibly ( or not) be best 22 by the end of the year.

It’s certainly a great ride we are currently on. To think we were mocked as “Dad’s Army” and our window had passed us by, yet here we are with a flag and likely to enter next season with DeKoning, Holmes, Stengle, Z.Guthrie, Parfitt, Bruhn, O.Henry which represents some of the finest young talent of any side in the comp. If we get pick 7 and convert that to Jye Clark or even Cam McKenzie then we have absolutely smashed it. And that’s not including the likes of Knevitt, Willis and Conway who look promising.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Has one key ingredient that most other mids don’t have, he can go forward and kick a goal.

It would be a minor miracle if Cats landed Clark this off season, but nothing would surprise me with this club right now.

 

[catempire]

Lol there's no need, we have more than enough picks to do this

We won't need to split it. 7 Is for Clark.

Will be the dumbest decision we can make.

Bruhn and Henry are not the players worth splitting a top 10 pick for. Rather pass on those players in all honesty… but in reality we should be able to accommodate without the need to split 7

You’ll see. Just try not to act too surprised when it happens.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You’ll see. Just try not to act too surprised when it happens.

Who are we splitting it with?

 

[catempire]

Who are we splitting it with?

No idea. But we don’t have the draft capital to get Henry, Bruhn and Bowes with our current hand.

 

[Boxhead_31]

It’s clearly who the cats are targeting in the draft, but I can almost bet my house that Hawthorn, with pick 6, would take him. He is exactly what they need from a list profile perspective, and the demons of Mitch Thorp would still haunt that list mgmt room. Can’t see any scenario Clark gets to us, unfortunately.

Surely the Hawks will take a KPF dud at pick 6 before Clark?
It’s the circle of life after all

 

[Finknottle]

Frankly, I'd rather see us keep our draft picks and forget about chasing disgruntled players from other clubs. Who would you rather, the next Joel Selwood or SDK, or a couple of these unproven cast offs from other clubs?

 

[cat_shack]

Not sure about the Bowes + pick 7 thing, if it happens great, but I don’t think it’s overly central to us having a really successful trading period.
-Henry will get done for pick 18, which will slide to prob pick 20 after bids on Ashcroft and Fletcher.
-Bruhn will get done for either a future 1st, or future 2nd + player (Sav?) Can’t see GWS wanting too many picks, considering their mountain of 1st rnd picks has got them in their current cap predicament.
-Gut feeling says McKenna will come our way too.
If we walk away this period with Henry, Bruhn, McKenna and a draftee, that is a massive success. Especially considering Wells conceded last year the Cameron trade pushed our list mgmt strategy back.
If we somehow fluke the above and get Bowes + Pick 7, then we have absolutely brained them.
If we somehow get Jhye Clark at pick 7, I’m confident BigFooty servers will melt down completely.
