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

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Are people taking the pi55 here saying they wouldn’t want Oliver? One of the top few mids in the league in his prime? In our weakest position. Deadset glad anyone here isn’t on the club committee. Also don’t give me the “no dickhead” policy. Same people probably said they same about De Goey, how’d he go on the weekend?

Agree on Oliver, but your point on De Goey doesn't really make sense.

Playing well doesn't change that he's a dickhead, and I don't think anyone ever questioned his ability.

There's being a bit of a flog on the field, and then there's harrassing/assaulting women. Two very different things.

 

[Reg Hickey]

He’s not a star but I don’t mind the idea of Harmes. Has a bit of pace and aggression and would be a good add to our midfield mix.

Yeah I haven't seen a whole lot of him, but from what I have seen I tend to agree with this.

 

[Grimoz]

Confirmed that North are getting pick 3 for McKay, what an absolute load of crap, complete spud

 

[Reg Hickey]

Seriously why people would want a 28 year old mid whose in contract is beyond me.

We are not in that space anymore.

What space is that?

If he wants to come to us, can make us a better side and is available at a reasonable price, then bring him over.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Yeah I've always liked him. Bit of Isaac Smith in him with the 'loveable larrikin' side - but a real tough edge on game day.

No standout traits, but for a cheap price, could be one worth bringing in to facilitate the next gen transition.

If we are going again next year, we'll need a player who can go with JDG, Daicos, Trac etc.

I'd be really happy with him. Nice moneyball option and if it doesn't work then whatever.

Not unexpected though that they’d be getting a leg up.

My point was you take dickheads if they do what De Goey done this finals and this season

 

[stac]

Got some intel late today regarding our midfield stocks which I thought was worth sharing.

Mullin is one the coaches see as transitioning to a midfield role. Has the tank - has the skills - and they like the explosive ability away from contests. He’s a strong unit, and along with Rohan and Holmes, consistently amongst the fastest blokes in testing.

Chris Scott loves him and it might explain why they got games into him this year ahead of what some expected.

Will be an interesting watch to see how he develops over summer.

Hopefully only as a wingman at least for another three or so years

Once he develops some confidence I believe he will improve quite quickly

 

[Kobe Gryant]

We are not in that space anymore.

When will people get their heads around this? We are never NOT in that space. The goal of the Geelong Football Club is to win a premiership every year.

We don't do 5 year rebuilds, we rebuild on the fly. We bring in talent every off-season, whether it be young or old, to either make us better the following year, or the years to come.

It's not 2004 anymore. You don't get anything out of sinking to the bottom for years on end.

There’s dickheads and there’s dickheads. De Goey as much as he’s pushed the boundaries (his actions towards women especially) didn’t alienate himself from the playing group, coaching group and medical group at his club as far as I’m aware.

 

[Turbocat]

Harmes would be a good depth player. Not sure he’s much more than that but maybe I’m underestimating him?

Just what will be the cost... he can run but I doubt Hawkins will enjoy the delivery

No idea for Harmes? Third rounder? Or am I undervaluing him?

 

[Warhorse]

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see an AFL player with Mullin.

I see him developing into a solid role player, perhaps locking down a back pocket

 

[Grimoz]

Contracted so Dees will push for more

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

I can’t imagine the Dees would force a high price for Harmes, he played most of the season in the vfl and was told to look around for another club.

 

[year of the cat]

Contracted so Dees will push for more

Don’t think I’d be interested for much more than that.

 

[Two Planks]

Harmes had one really good year from memory and signed a lengthy deal on the back of it on half decent coin. Reckon the dees would be happy to get him and his contract off the books.

 

[Warhorse]

Harmes is similar to Dow. Neither will improve our midfield. Hard pass

 

[goyoucatters]

Harmes is an 'OK' player, I guess. But I just can't see him as a difference-maker for us around the ball. Would far prefer to load games into our young tyros than to whack lots of games into such a limited (albeit experienced) player. If Parf is staying, we'd be better trying to push him harder, for a start. And the 'cost' will be much cheaper at this stage as well.

To my mind, if we're after serious midfield reinforcements, they'd want to look more impressive than him if they're truly going to move the needle on our 2024.

And there's growing up and pulling your head in.
JDG, Toby Greene, SJohnson-- all of them had issues and they all deserve forgiveness and acceptance.
I would be ecstatic to get any of-
COliver to our MF, even though "he has a head like they don't make anymore"
Toby Greene
JDG.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Harmes
Oliver
Smith
Wines

They all want in [emoji41]

And likely the reverse-the fellowship of belonging to, arguably, "the world's greatest club" probably helped his rehabilitation.

Clayton Oliver- what an awesome way to add to our OLLIES.
That would be absolutely brilliant.
Can not imagine it having any wheels though.

as a great list fit, just not damaging enough for what he would cost.

But im biased towards the strong explosive goal kicking type midfielders like Petracca. If you are going to mortgage the future they are the type that should be targeted
