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

 

[Grimoz]

Cats might be doing a deal to bring in Cheap Wines, as well as a bloke with three day growth. Not sure if either are the mystery mid though.

Shit hot we are signing Jimmy Barnes...heard he's a real working class man!!!

 

[gogeelongcats]

No no... please no... i'm walking away now as we dont need to get any slower than we already are.

But keeps getting it. Not a bad skill.

Good selection by them

 

[Turbocat]

YEP... as i've said a few times on here.
Sanders is the best pure mid in this draft.
Reid is the BEST all rounder.
McKercher a close 3rd.
Norf will be given a gift in Mckay comp and they'll organise a swap with the Suns.
Unless of course they (Norf) covet REID and hand over 2nd and 3rd picks.

Sanders might be the best this year ...maybe. But there were multiple players in that u17 teams that are going to give him a run for his money long term.

God id love us to look at Ginnivan, i actually think the guys good for footy

How bout this guy too?

Ginnivan has a giant ego. No from me.

There's some harsh critics. Lord is 21 with 13 games to his name Inc 4 in a final.

For a bit of perspective Hawkins kicked 21 goals in his first 13 games. Lord has 15.

We should have gave up on Hawkins then according to some here ... and that was actually the consensus for the first 5 years of Hawkins career until the 2011 GF.

People like bringing stuff like this up all the time.

Yes, Tom Hawkins turned out to be a very, very good footballer.

But for every Tom Hawkins, there are a dozen Charlie Gardiners (11 goals in first 20 games) or Matt McCarthys (24 goals in first 21 games) that get delisted not long later.

I’m not saying Lord is going to be useless, but the argument that player A turned into a star without acknowledging the 100 players that came and went in between is a little misleading.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I dont disagree some given some of the guys selected ahead of him.

That said i think he will stay and break back in.

Its more likely some of their depth players like fin macrae and mcinness in particular as well as harrison, draper bianco etc get targeted by other clubs. Ginnivan might have interest as well much as i loathe him.

I wouldn't go near the Collingwood depth players. Their top players are excellent and it was an amazing coaching job to get them over the line but their bottom 6 are average journeymen. MacRae earned 1 game all year in a team with an ordinary inside midfield (eg Lipinski being a regular). That suggests he's miles off it and it's his 3rd season.

Ginnivan is actually not that good at football. Hill, on the other hand, was a bargain of Stengle proportions.

Ginivan could turn into a good player. But he's not in an area of need and not good enough to obviously improve us. We should back ourselves in with a guy like Dempsey instead.

 

[moond0g]

If suns trade for 2 it would be on the night not before it (because if they do the trade now wce might on walter at 1 anyway) same if they trade 4 out it will be pre arranged but only done on the night.
As for pick 1 i dont see it being for sale (if wce bid on walter at 1 its a dummy bid knowing gc will match it) wce know how good reid is and arent giving him up.

I agree.

But realistically if West coast bid on Walter, GC can just say ok we’ll have Reid at 2 in that scenario. They won’t, but they could.

Yeah he'd have to be cheap. Even then I'm not sold on him.

 

[foxdog50]

If there are any truth on Wines coming to Geelong ( which I'd say be less then 10% ) he would cost way to much in a trade sense. Contracted till 2026, id sat1st round pick and a high 2nd round pick

 

[ShaunWDT]

Wines isn't getting traded, leader of the football club and had reasons for a drop in output, probably be their Captain in all honesty.

I have no idea where Port are at in terms of contracts and salary cap but if there’s any truth to it, surely the main driver for Port would be clearing cap space. They could let him go cheaply in that case like Hawks did with Mitchell. Regardless it seems a 1000 to one chance.

 

[And_ROOS]

We have a d50 and f50 worth a flag next year, trade period will show us how the club is planning next season because after watching this season and today, a decent midfield that isn't made of string wins us a flag next season.

 

[CatRiot]

So if we get Sanders we win the flag?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ginivan could turn into a good player. But he's not in an area of need and not good enough to obviously improve us. We should back ourselves in with a guy like Dempsey instead.

If we don’t use Dempsey I think we'll lose him.

AA vfl side for a kid who switched from basketball only a couple of years ago raises recruiters eyebrows

Yeah maybe… let’s see how they go next year.

Literally any A-Grader in the midfielder would just about do it.
But we absolutely need a clean bill of health to start with. Without that our season is ****ed before it starts. Pies were ragged at the end and just got over the Lions, but they were banking wins early in the season when they didn't have injuries. And when they copped injuries it happened after they had top 2 stitched up and could rest players.

Add a decent midfielder and Guthrie into a team that has now has gotten a full season into guys like Bruhn, Henry and Bowes to get them used to the Geelong system, along with anyone else we might trade in, and add in we have a full preseason + in theory an easier fixture next season and theres absolutely no reason we aren't top 4 and pushing for a Premiership.

None of the top 4 this year were impressive and flags the next few years are very gettable from the top 6.

Duncan, Danger, Hawk, 2E, Stanley, Guthrie. These guys are not gonna get better and there's a lot of pressure on the kids to elevate to next level but I don't think Bruhn, Clarke, Atkins Parfitt and Bowes are a threat to any teams and will get steam rolled again, unless we land Smith can't really see us doing to much better next year. We have one of the weakest midfields going around and we're still too dependent on Danger and Guthrie.

Agree brizzy and the wood were pretty boring to watch today. Such a slow start stop game.

First half was great, second half a dour struggle and not good to watch.

 

[dazbroncos]

Ginnivan has a giant ego. No from me.

Set shot Stevie j style in a gf from 45.
Maybe 4 players in history make that kick.
GAS, Jezza and pick 2 more.

Jack not on the list. And in a tight game.. get serious.

No for me

Go Catters

 

[4quarter_cat]

Hopefully that's the last thing he has in common with them.

I didn't see the sprint but as soon as I saw Holmes was in it I knew he would take the W.

Or maybe he's more like the gfc premiership, Danger, Stanley, and Rohan?

 

[Sire of Claude]

It twas a close GF but I didn't think the standard of footy was great - lots of fumbles and missed kicks etc. The Pies are brilliantly coached and stick to their plan. But my old man was a Fitzroy supporter so.....
