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

Strong word is they did all this to get Watson. Would be very surprised if they take Sanders. After the success of Caleb Daniel as a shorter player, would make sense how they see him.

I'm praying your right. Where would that put us you reckon?

1 WCE - Reid
2 Norf - Curtin
3 Norf - McKercher
4 HAW - Duursma
5 WB - Watson
6 MELB - Caddy?
7 GWS - O'Sullivan?
8 GEEL - Sanders?

Really? Twomey never reports on something unless he has info. Edmund is just a joke who consistently makes things up. Was caught out when I outed him on trade radio during the Jordan Clark trade - for making up the 'slamming the phone down and not coming back' BS.

He does it all the time, and barely ever gets anything of his own right that someone else hasn't already declared.

He's an absolute hack.

He did break the Hardwick story and was slammed for breaking it before he let people know lol

Yeah but to be fair, everyone on BF knew that before it was even broken. Just another example of being a shameless hack, IMO.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Interesting.

It seems to be the foot injury that has them a ways apart?

Could be Chappy esque where the club are saying 'We only expect you to play x amount of games next year' and Tom doesn't see it that way.

Hope this doesn't get ugly, he's a champion and has served us brilliantly.

For mine, I've stuck with this for a month or so:

1. Reid (WC)
2. Walter - North bid (GC)
3. Curtin (North)
4. McKercher/Duursma (North - McKay compo)
5. Duursma/McKercher (Hawks)
6. Watson (Dogs)
7. Read - Melb bid (GC)
8. O'Sullivan/Caddy (Melb)
9. Caddy/O'Sullivan (GWS)
10. Sanders (Geelong)

That's on a pure 'needs' basis, and going by what all the phantoms and other boards have suggested.

By no means does it mean it will eventuate, but it does help that all teams above us are stacked for inside mids - if Dogs select Watson.

We need Hawkins next year more than we needed Chapman in 2014, even if we badly mishandled the latters 2023 season.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Our Pick will be Pick 10, not 13?

Not unreasonable to think that on a needs basis, if the Dogs, Hawks, Dees and GWS all don't want another inside mid, that he could slip to us.

Unlikely, but also not outside the realm of possibility. North will likely select Curtin and McKercher/Duursma, IMO.

If GWS select Caddy and Melbourne select O'Sullivan, as their boards seem to suggest, then there is a small chance we get Sanders. This is why I think we'll wait until the night comes before we do anything.

Why stop at 10? If we indeed see the same value in players that are available at 15-20? Or have players in mind that are indeed going to be there later.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this comment?

You said our pick will fall at 13, I corrected you and said it would be 10 - and that I think we'll keep it because there's a small possibility that Sanders falls to us on the proviso of a needs based draft.

Not sure what you're getting at with the above?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I want to walk away from the draft with a combo of Sanders, Caddy, Wilson, O'Sullivan, ZZ, Hastie and Stevens. Obviously you wouldn't take Stevens if you take Sanders. Probably not ZZ if you take O'Sullivan.

Take out Caddy and they're my preferences. I do want Hastie because that's one thing we lack.

Just briefly mentioned on trade radio by Sam Edmund that he heard Duursma could be involved in the Sav trade.

Time will tell on that one.

Duursma > Essendon
Ratugolea > Port
Pick 22 > Geelong.

Am i greedy to want 3? Sanders, ZZ and Hastie please.

That's a chance of happening.

Can they trade that though?

Current rules on future trading are that you can trade either your future first, or any & all picks from your future second on

Having traded their future first, are they allowed to trade their future second, or is it Fremantle's future second they're allowed to trade?

They can trade their F2 because they got one back from Freo.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Hawkins won't go anywhere. If he does I'll stick Scott to a stake and burn him myself.

 

[patience]

You and half of Geelong

My original post was that we would pick down the order as in we would trade back… not at 7 but to let’s say 13.

 

[Lana]

remember trade radio lives in a phantasy land where Craig Hutchinson wills that there is enough things to talk about during the AFL trade period to last a month

 

[Jumping Jack]

He's not going anywhere. It's a classic case of brinkmanship on Hawkins part.

Discussions between player and club stall - he fires off a little warning shot via an ex team mate in the media - cue the outrage from supporters - a couple of clubs call his manager and "make inquiries" - club calls a meeting with the player and his manager and put pen to paper.

Yawn

 

[Cameron_Jezza]

I am surprised with Ports trade. I wonder if we would have offered Esava, Geelong 2024r2 for port 2024r1?
Or did we insist on a pick this year for Esava.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

We need Hawkins next year more than we needed Chapman in 2014, even if we badly mishandled the latters 2023 season.

Oh no I agree 100%, would be gutted to see this go south.

I'm just saying maybe that's what the clubs saying to Tom.

I'd be over the moon. Would be the most excited I've been for the season (and following seasons) as I have been for a long time.

Not as excited as I was when we read Jhye Clark's name out last year.

I'm counting Jhye in that group, he's like an extra draftee for us.

If we could have Clark AND Sanders in our midfield next year...blimey that'll be fun.

We'd have another dynasty at some point in the next 10 years.

 

[fpm84]

Schultz would be a great get for Collingwood, arguably an upgrade on Elliott as it stands or at very least able to take over Elliott’s role in the future.

 

[Shadow89]

Duursma wants to go to Essendon. Big off-season for them, and reeks of a club trying to push up the board quicker.

2 MIL in cap gone just like that.

Why would we quible over overpaying him a little. I suspect that like Joel he has played for well under his value for a fair bit of his career.

 

[TheCattery2007]

Regarding Esava, many years ago the club said they never trade to a team on favourable terms where that team is a genuine competitor. Why would we give a Top 4 team a key back man that they so desperately need for pick 23??? That’s madness.

If Port want him, which they do, pay for him. They’ll pay. If he was a player available in this years draft he’d be top 5 easy - he’s ready to go.

On Hawkins. Very interesting. The club and he could be a looonnng way apart. He’s paid for peanuts and sees what others are getting. He might be saying you guys pay or I go elsewhere on a two year deal. Imagine what he’d get. Fair enough too. I wouldn’t begrudge him. I’d be shattered but I’d understand.
