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

Pick 18 - Henry
F1/Ratugolea - Bruhn (with something coming back.
36 - Bowes/pick 7.

 

[MacStradbroke]

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?

Disgruntled? Luke Tuohy? Cameron? Stanley? Smith?

GC want a 2023 pick.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

GC want a 2023 pick.

Easily achieved. We trade 46 and two in the 50's into the future.

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

If we trade our current first for Henry (plus steak knives), our future first for Bruhn and our current second rounder to GC for Bowes plus pick 7 that works doesn’t it?

These players are not disgruntled, they just want to play for the Cats. Can you blame them?

I should have been clearer. In order to get pick 7 Gold Coast will want our 2023 R1. We may be able to avoid that but if we do we won’t get pick 7.

Can’t see us being prepared to do that trade if they want us to take on all of Bowes contract.

 

[terry_bright]

GC want a 2023 pick.

Brisbane need points this year for Ashcroft & Fletcher.
We have points available.
Brisbane will have to dip into their future picks to get what they want this year. (Ashcroft, Fletcher & Dunkley).

 

[Finknottle]

Disgruntled? Luke Tuohy? Cameron? Stanley? Smith?

Apart from Stanley, they were proven players who fitted into our plan to extend our finals window. Cameron was a big risk but he was a gun. Brunh, O Henry, Bowes?

 

[catempire]

Can’t see us being prepared to do that trade if they want us to take on all of Bowes contract.

I can because it will give us the capital to get it all done.

I’m keen.

I don't blame them, I just don't think we need them.

 

[year of the cat]

I would think, but could be wrong, that Wells/Mackie will be working on a scenario to avoid that.

 

[terry_bright]

I should have been clearer. In order to get pick 7 Gold Coast will want our 2023 R1. We may be able to avoid that but if we do we won’t get pick 7.

Our 2nd rounder or future 2nd is enough.
With the salary cap dump they need/want to make, it would be about right IMO.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I should have been clearer. In order to get pick 7 Gold Coast will want our 2023 R1. We may be able to avoid that but if we do we won’t get pick 7.

I know. We have 36, 46, 52, 55 and 61.

A few of those are easily tradable for future picks. We're likely to be only using pick 7 in the draft.

 

[Kyuss]

BRING PICK 7 HOME

So thats what Selwood meant when he said it's coming home. Bring them all home!

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

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?

How are these cast-offs more unproven than unknown prospects that are draft picks?

I'm all for the draft but for every Selwood or SDK there is Lang, Smedts etc.

I'm all for the draft but you don't turn down two 20 year old first round picks with two years of development already, as well as showing a bit of promise and potential at AFL level.

Both have shown enough to indicate they have a future at this level.

 

[dangerwood]

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.

Yeah sorry that was just a broad comparison, no-one will compare to Selwood. Selwood aside I still have some reservations on current evidence, again noting that I am judging this off a few short videos.

 

[00VicWard001]

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.

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.

McRae is like Bevo. All about the spirit of the club. If he even gets the slightest whiff that you're not 100% in, then you're out.

 

[Turbocat]

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

Its really just Henry and Bruhn... if Bowes is as reported. ..just take him and his money.

Apparently GWS want or Fr1

Henry our P18 ... plus a pick of some sort ... you would think thats enough.

 

[catstorm]

I should have been clearer. In order to get pick 7 Gold Coast will want our 2023 R1. We may be able to avoid that but if we do we won’t get pick 7.

Then they can keep him, that's ridiculous.

Any club that sends back a 1st to GC in this situation is making a horrific decision, and that would include Geelong if they did that.

The reason 7 is on the board is because his contract is way overs for the next 2 years and they want to dump it.

How can they then demand what could be a better pick back next year, we would be essential taking their salary dump for free.

Only way it can happen is they pay half his salary.

 

[catempire]

I would think, but could be wrong, that Wells/Mackie will be working on a scenario to avoid that.

I’m sure they are but I can’t see how we get to keep 7 under any scenario where we get all the players. Perhaps the long shot is trading our later picks this year to someone like Brisbane to give us a 20s pick which we can package for Henry or Bruhn.

 

[Turbocat]

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?

or the next Lang or Thurlow or even Copper Stephens who was picked before Sdek. Known form against AFL standard opponents is different to junior footy.

Yes id prefer to keep 7 ...but im confident if we are forced to trade it.. we will get a R1 back...

 

[catempire]

I know. We have 36, 46, 52, 55 and 61.

A few of those are easily tradable for future picks. We're likely to be only using pick 7 in the draft.

Yep, they are dispensable for sure. It would be great if someone like Brisbane snapped them up. In total those picks are worth about pick 10 in DVI.
