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

[geelong_crazy26]

I know it's Harley Reid, but... wow.

I'm not sure Wayne Carey on the day he was appointed captain of North was worth that much.

When you look at his season so far… these conversations are getting quite ludicrous.

I can totally see Kelly wanting to return to Geelong but don't think it's going to happen with the family situation

Their oldest son is non-verbal autistic, one of the twins is also autistic though I'm not sure if they're also non-verbal like the older brother

I can't see Caitlyn wanting to live anywhere other than Perth with family support close by, and not sure Tim would want to live on the other side of the country

foxdog50 had a permanent solution

About time we got Joel Hamling back.

Did you see he finally kicked his first career goal on the weekend - nearly didn’t get the chance as he did throw an elbow at his opponent but missed

 

[cats_09]

If we take Oliver i think you'll have to put me in ICU due to the sheer amount of vomit that will come out of me

Not sure if the person who suggested the following trade deals is on here, but happy to share this suggestion - this was in response to a tweet Butters, Oliver, Reid & Rowell all being linked to us

“Can be done over a 2 year period -
2025
Oliver (2025 1st round) & Worpel (Free Agent)
2026
Reid (2026 1st Round 2027 2nd Round + Lawson Humphries), Butters( 2027 1st Round 2026 2nd Round)”


I kinda feel like this was a serious suggestion also

 

[cats_09]

Who haven't we been linked to?

Cadman

Geelong evaded a disaster.

Clayton has taken week off for mental health + wellbeing, due to speculation from growing irritation about form + game time.

It’s a tragedy such a talented player has endured so much difficulty + pain.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Could Harley give Baz some competition in the larrikin department?

New intraclub rivalry unlocked

To be honest he should have been dropped weeks ago

Whoever suggested that has had a mare.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Oliver has returned to training, after spending time with Gawn on Monday + had dinner Petracca + Salem.

One does have to wonder sometimes about the choices made by players. he must have known it was going to be tough to break in.

I blame the player managers. It happens way too often they are on the edge of selection get offered money and security but choose to stay and given away the chance to have a long career.

 

[Grimoz]

I think there is some serious reaching going on in this thread, we will be lucky to get one of Reid and Butters let alone everyone mentioned Oliver, Worpel etc etc and to be honest i dont really care about Worpel and dont want Oliver, be realistic guys.

Well the thread title does have "Wish list" in it

Need a magic genie to make some of the deals proposed reality!!!

may need to be more creative

would something like

Cats send Mannagh and 2026 second and 2026 third to Carlton for Carltons 2026 first ( they will not want as they will be getting Walker as FS but will need points)

Offer WC - Cats 2025 first/ Cats 2026 First / Carltons 2026 First / Cats 2027 First

For Harley and WC 2026 third

A lot can change in the next 4 months.

If he continues to struggle and the WA footy public falls out of love with him (it has started already) then it won’t cost what you propose.

It won’t be cheap, but the last few months have made it much more palatable for WC fans to accept him leaving. That will drop the price.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

what happens to that cap room if Duncan, CGuth, Stanley and Bews all go?

We will have a lot of cap room.

I was told that Butters purchased property near Geelong not that long ago. That doesn't mean he plays at Geelong, but I think the location (if true) might surprise a few people.

I think he goes to the Bulldogs.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Despite the romantic aspect of TDK and SDK playing together I don't think Geelong are strongly pursuing that one.

But there's a kid developing nicely up north who we might get a good look at on Sunday. Geelong are into him in a very big way and would love to bring the boy home (or pretty close to home). And the bloke running around in #5 at Geelong is the kids idol and they catch up regularly I'm told.

If we are talking about cadman it won't happen this year only next and gws will want 2 first rounders for him minimum.

 

[foxdog50]

I wonder if Geelong will put Conway or Edwards on the long term injury list before the MSD? If the club is taking a long term approach, is it worth maybe putting Edwards on that list and maybe looking at a Mature Age ruckman? As Stanley 35 and is on his lat year, Blitz is 34 and as much as durable he is we can't put it all on him?
Bloody worth a thought

 

[Turbocat]

If we are talking about cadman it won't happen this year only next and gws will want 2 first rounders for him minimum.

If Cadman is a target ..id be thinking its years away. Reid, Butters, Rowel …etc we would need a truck load of picks… and I doubt we have anything left for a KPF and …unless we bring in a FA KPF , I cant see how we trade for the mids we need and bring in a KPF too.

You would be surprised at the amount of discussion on Kelly. From both sides. It's a chance. He absolutely loves the GFC

Dont know what you have till its gone? If Geelong could work out a FIFO for him then maybe.
