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

I don't think one dimensional accumulating midfielders are sexy at the moment.

Haha I think teams will think twice after Tom Mitchell this year

 

[CatToTheFuture]

David King reckons Port getting Rata will change them into genuine premiership contenders and that pick 24 isn't enough. Port need to change their back 6 otherwise nothing changes and won't win a flag, so need to get it done, even if it means they pay overs.

Oh man, now they'll do the opposite

 

[CatToTheFuture]

We could trade in the All-Australian team and as long as Hinkley is still coaching we wouldn't be a genuine contender lol

Honest to God I would have been to more Primus coached Port games than nearly all the people on your board and I have never heard as much pessimism as there is now amongst Port fans. It's just mind blowing

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Looking at Sanders from a stat's perspective ... 9 games, 30.6 disposals, 7 clearances. I don't think he's a chance of falling to us at pick 7.

I think he is a chance but maybe 30%

Can only play midfield. Talls get reached for. Tasmanian might ask for a trade to the expansion side and the afl offers you band 3 to not dilute the tassie picks.

There's solid reasons to think he'll be there

I have often found myself turned on by the unconventional

Stupid sexy Sanders

 

[patience]

Um googled it but it wasn't clear. When does the trade period end?

Next Wednesday night

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

King is a Bell end

He's pushing the case for us to get a more than pick 24 so I'm all for it.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Next Wednesday night

Jesus H Christ that long?

 

[patience]

Next Wednesday night

Oh dear god. Thanks Two Planks.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

A couple of people not always complimentary to geelong but they’re right on the money here, pay the man Port.

 

[foxdog50]

Neale needs games. It's time to roll the dice on him

I want to give Neale games 100% but we will have to some how play Hawkins, Cameron and Neale at the same time... Which I'm not sure if we will...

I turn my ears off when he talks .

He'll improve more now Jenkins not there imo

The majority on here seem to think 24 is fair. I get trying to do the best for the club but it's rare that supporters agree on the value of a player, usually Port would offer 30-40, their board would think that's fair, we'd argue for early 20s and the true value probably sits somewhere in the middle. The fact we think 24 is fair suggests it probably more than fair.

I know Wells has copped some criticism for going too soft with trades in the past but people do hold grudges and I know clubs and agents liked working with Geelong and it meant a few other things went our way. I think there can be damage done from pushing too hard.

Nope, there has never been damage done going too hard in this context. Look at other clubs… some have reputations - and yet they still get deals done.

Each draft is a new coin toss. Other teams will still deal with us next year as it is a transactional trading process. It is not about credit in the bank (the way Wells tried to do) or a Dodoro reputation, it is about getting the players your club needs. We’ve tried it the nice way in the past. And we’ve let players go for nothing. And karma has not come back to us from those clubs. A nice guy reputation when trading just means you get exploited, but they buy you a beer afterwards.

I hear you, it is transactional but damage can be done, agree to disagree. Player managers have behaved favourably towards Geelong because they have been easy to deal with both in terms of not pushing for more cash or supporting players in coming to Geelong.

 

[Vdubs]

FWIW I also think 24 is sufficient

I wish I did. As CS and Clarko said, tall KB 's are rare , not replaceable via the draft, and in this shallow draft, 24 could be worthless. Sav & McKay) are worth more than a hopeful 24. But time will tell.

He'll improve more now Jenkins not there imo

Why so, jfi?

And sorry, to clarify, I think we gave too much under Wells, there were times we should have been firmer but there's a balance.

Gut feel ..

Agreed, Jenkins doesn’t seem like someone I’d want to have an influence on other people.

Spoke to him at a function on GF22 evening - personality of a wet lettuce plus showed zero enthusiasm about GF day - strange chap

LoL wet lettuce .

Lettuce know what you really think

 

[foxdog50]

We badly need another up and coming smaller defender with skills. Bews is nearer the end than the beginning and Bowes will spend more time mid-field next year you would think.

Marty Hore... have said him before..
North Melbourne vfl club b n f.
Team of the year for the VFL. Unfortunately did his knee at Melbourne.
Rookie him, got nothing to loose especially at a rookie pick.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Back in his Adelaide days, rumour is post training he was a regular of the KFC drive thru, and picked up a 6 pack of CC's to go with it.

With toungue firmly in cheek, I wouldn't want that info to make its way to our young players in particular.

Our jumper is a classic and one of the greats...but not particularly flattering. You can't hide any weight in the hoops.

Funnily enough, when he was traded here that was the first thing Joel said on the phone. "Don't come back fat, the hoops won't suit you otherwise" or something along those lines.
