Rumour GFC 2023 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt II

[cats_09]

Yep, this is making an appearance here also, and probably getting more useful as the season draws to a close and this discussion ramps up

 

[Pure_Ownage]

And Curnow, who he models his game on.

Im just not sure caddy is quite as athletic as curnow and undersized kpfs by and large (though there are rare exceptions) from juniors tend to be busts unless they have the athletic ability to make up for the lack of height. Caddys decent time trial is a start but id want to see good vertical leap and agility results before i took a risk on him.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Probably inevitable after last season, when we did 2 years' dealing in one year.

Yes because that only leaves free agents and the free agent pool was average this year it looks better next year.

Hawks ITK's pushing that WC want Pick 3 Future 1st and an established Best 22 player like Ward, C. Macdonald, C. Mackenzie etc.

If West Coast netted that, they'd be right back on track with their rebuild. Hawks seem more keen than anyone on Harley, IMO. Will be interesting who actually ends up with him when all is said and done.

I still wouldn't do it as it doesn't get them Curtin or even Sanders i reckon.
I'd stick with HARLEY REID. He is worth more than JHF for me.
North would be silly not to give up 2 14 & even 19 or their future 19 with something coming back for 1.
Norf can nab Reid and Sanders whilst the Weagles can nab Curtin along with 2 of either Tholstrup Edwards Hardeman and Sanchez.
Wet Toast hold the keys to the car that a few others out there want to drive.
How much do u really want the keys to the car ??

Jack was a slider but that draft was absolutely packed with talls. Quite incredible really. Jack went at pick 13 and there were 8 talls picked ahead of him. Then you have players like Tippett, Goldstein, Hawkins F/S, Westhoff and Schofield taken late.

Ultimately it was an error for clubs overlooking Riewoldt for being "undersized" but if you want a key forward this year you don't have a lot of option but to roll the dice with Caddy. Where have all the talls gone?! Are they just trying and failing to turn them into Patrick Cripps at underage level instead and they never filter through to AFL level at all now?

Maybe it’s that kind of year for talls but I wonder if basketball is draining potential talls?
I heard there are an amazing amount of young guys playing on scholarships in the US - numbers have grown exponentially over the last few years

 

[Chinacats]

They're both already contracted, what exactly are signing?

Contract extensions…..

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Please have some rabbits in your hat Mackie.

Get the feeling we are going to the least active in this trade period outside a few pick swaps.

Hard to trade when there's not much good talent available in the first place.

 

[FootyLad0]

Hard to trade when there's not much good talent available in the first place.

Our best move is just going to the draft and making the right pick.

1. Taking Sanders
2. Taking O’Sullivan if Sanders is gone
3. If BOTH Sanders and O’Sullivan are gone trade back with Crows or Dogs to get multiple selections and go best players available.

No need to overpay or chase anyone this off-season when the market is crap, save it for next offseason when heaps of guys are OOC or Free Agents.

What if the Dogs/Crows do not want to trade with us because the player they want is also not avail?

It'll be Caddy, Watson (prob not avail though) or Darcy Wilson as a bit of an earlier smokey than people think.

Think you are over rating Curnows athletic ability massively - he ran 20m in 3.15 which is considered slow by position. Caddy tests better. Main difference is the hands over head and curnow is stronger

 

[Turbocat]

It'll be Caddy, Watson (prob not avail though) or Darcy Wilson as a bit of an earlier smokey than people think.

If the club goes that way Id be happy. He just seems to me to be a player who would fit our demands and preferences. he could get games very early based on his running.

If the Dogs trade 10 and 17 to GC .... I dont really see an obvious trade down target.. although I'm sure we will get offers...

 

[Turbocat]

Those that like OSullivan ... how quick do you feel he could become a best 22 player for us?

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

No way Port will bring in Sav , Zerk and Sweet with their picks without trading players. Hopefully this leads to a good opportunity for us....

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

Those that like OSullivan ... how quick do you feel he could become a best 22 player for us?

I'd hope instantly

 

[stac]

So where the hawks interested in smith
Or where they told he was not interested in going to them
If they trade out next years first then they have little to no chance next year.

surely chasing pick one has been a long time in the planning

Also why would Dogs want Harmes
They are having structural problems already with their mids why get another

What position will smith and macrae play next year

I know people have said not happening but.

 

[FootyLad0]

Those that like OSullivan ... how quick do you feel he could become a best 22 player for us?

Quickly I’d hope.

The big scouts and media talkers seem to think he’s Raw but I reckon the kid has ALL the intangibles of a 10+ year defensive stalwart of the League if he ticks all the boxes. It’s insurance for Jack Henry’s injury woes and Sav going and someone to help out SDK long term in the talls department.

Helps that he can also play KPF when required. He’s adaptable (Geelong is all about guys who can play multiple roles)

I’m huge on the guy but that’s just me.

 

[Hamingja]

They are going to trade Duursma which will give them enough capital without involving first rounders to get the deals done

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

Would they do a straight swap for Sav ?

 

[Hamingja]

Would they do a straight swap for Sav ?

Would we? If we had interest in Duursma it would be out there already I reckon.

Gettable boys reporting on some combine results.....


Hastie 3rd in agility. ... Wilson. 2nd in the 2k ...was best in the running jump with 98cm ... the standing vertical jump taken out by Zane Zakostelsk...

All attention gathering performances... Wilson looks a the type we would look at. He ticks a lot of boxes.

Do we push hard for their Fr1.. Maybe it means we give a future pick back wth Sav.

Naturally, SOS as a recruiter/list manager is only capable of using very high draft picks, then when he moves clubs grabbing players he's used high draft picks on to come to his new club
