Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 2

[thegerman]

I'm only reported what I have heard from St kilda. Not sure on Geelongs end

Fairly confident we’re laughing at SOS under our breath, but trying to bring reality to the table

 

[thegerman]

That's my thing. If we by some miracle land Butters then Worpel cant fit in at all.
And we have Clark, Chlosey, Bowes, Knevitt.

Highly doubt Clohesy survives

There's a long way to go before we land Butters.

The thing with Worpel is that his strengths are pressure and clearance, which I would say DOES suit us. It complements our current strengths through the middle of the ground, which are our run and ball movement.

As someone pointed out earlier in this thread his kicking efficiency is terrible, but at Hawthorn he's often just throwing it on the boot because he doesn't have the likes of Holmes and Smith to give it to.

I agree with a lot of the criticism of him in this thread, but I also think that with a different environment, gameplan and teammates he could be a different player.

Absolutely!!

 

[Warhorse]

They are asking for Sanders

They are asking for freijah I was told today. They might end up with other players though

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Highly doubt Clohesy survives

I would imagine clohesys manager is looking for a club who can give him games just a matter of if we trade him for some late pick he wont use or if he waits and goes DFA.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

LOL.

My god. I've been arguing that we need to be working on a tall back or two and people are 'interested' in a trade for SDK?

I may just lose my mind.

You mean you've been wrong all year...

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Dogs wont trade sanders. One they basically gave up 3 first rounders for him.
Secondly sanders is better off waiting 2 years and going home to tassie as their captain for more money than St kilda will give him.
St kilda are asking for the world for marshall and Wilkie because they dont want to trade either but want to be able to claim that the other clubs refused to deal. Classic move.

I could be wrong here but the way I remember that draft is that they traded up because they thought Watson was going to be available at the pick and then got taken by the Hawks.....

Sanders may have been their unexpected plan B.

Yeah thats true I'm fairly sure Watson was their initial target. But still they wont trade him now given what they paid. And also like I said for sanders why would he go to a non contender like st kilda when he can go where he is or get millions from tassie in 2 years?

Pretty sure most of the recruiting people there have turned over. Not sure they'd hold themselves to a draft decision from however many years ago.

Plus sanders is playing wing mostly. He's clearly out of position. Going to the saints and playing on ball there wouldn't hold him back from tassie either. If I were him I'd move.

 

[TheCattery2007]

Very glad Rhys has resigned. Scott basically said he was paid a pittance this year relative to his value. Another year rewards him for his service this year (for being on a low wage) and gives us a back up ruck plus massive negotiating power v Saints. Such a good move on some many levels.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Very glad Rhys has resigned

Jeez mate, I know he's been frustrating over the journey...but that's pretty harsh...he's a premiership player.

 

[DanA]

My god. I've been arguing that we need to be working on a tall back or two and people are 'interested' in a trade for SDK?

Are we short a tall defender? We’ve got SDK, O’Sullivan, Henry, Kolo. Then Blitz for a season or two as well.

I think SDK is far more valuable than Marshall though and wouldn’t want to lose a good young player for a 30 y.o.

Please "re-signed" instead of resigned. There are some weak hearts here

 

[small 4wards]

I feel like its the same deal we'd have sold Stanley as last year
"Be our back up ruck while we wait on Conway and Edwards to take the steps up, you can play VFL and be more of a coach-player"
then by round 3
"Conway's been hit in the small of his back by a wild Canadian Goose in a freak accident and he's out for the season. Rhys we need you play 20 games."

Mate we can't even spell Clark right half the time

 

[Cataholic]

Mate we can't even spell Clark right half the time

Who's Clarke?

 

[cats_09]

Mate we can't even spell Clark right half the time

Just wait until draft Clarke and a Stephen to add to the fun

 

[Baudolino]

Who's Clarke?

Our best draftee since Jimmy Bartells

 

[Always on the ball]

Signing Stanley a strange move if they’re confident on Marshall?

Absolutely correct

 

[thecatattack]

Signing Stanley a strange move if they’re confident on Marshall?

Depth?

Conway always hurt, Edwards had injuires and still not there yet.

 

[year of the cat]

Our best draftee since Jimmy Bartells

Don't forget Mullins

 

[Cataholic]

Don't forget Mullins

Or Koldashknee

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

I work college of mine whose last name ends in endlebery was sitting in a box on Friday night next to a certain disgruntled Carlton forward, his words.. it’s my preference to get to Geelong next year.

 

[STPer18]

Not to downplay how good Worpel was for us in the Prelim but Jhye Clark was better I think. Hopefully if the former is coming he has been playing hurt as some have suggested.
