Rumour Thread

[Old Spice]

If Wood goes, it probably means 8 out as would need to pick up an established ruck through PSD. Won't get a replacement ruck in the draft.

Does a PSD pick automatically go to the senior list or can they be rookied and upgraded later?

Scrap that, missed Yagmoor.

Don't scare me like that; thought our recruiting manager had temporarily gone batshit crazy.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I missed the Hine interview and don't quite get what happened?

Don't forget there is still the delisted free agent trading still to come.

Trade Period just will not die.

It'll forever live on in Dave's heart.

How does that one work? And anythng interesting/worthwhile out there?

The first list lodgement is on 31 October. Following this, any player who has been delisted becomes a free agent and can sign with anyone from 1-13 November.

You have to be genuinely delisted to take advantage of this - someone will have the exact details of the eligibility criteria, but in essence if your club has tabled an offer for you and you reject it you are not a delisted player.

As to who is out there - probably no one of any real worth anymore. It seems like a lot of clubs did token deals during the trade period to get players they were going to delist to the club of their choice as a goodwill gesture (e.g. Young to Bulldogs, Russell to Pies). Hence the only decent options are already gone.

Currie.

Yeah babeeey!

We are using 4 picks, and late in the trade period upgraded 42 to 39.

Did they ask Hine why we didn't get 3 first rounders for Dawes?

 

[Old Spice]

Does anyone want to hazard the delistings/demotions from the senior list? There are definitely 7 with our 3 additions and 4 picks to 39. Possibly another if Wood is delisted because we have to to use a spot in PSD to replace him.

 

[HFF]

Well Wellingham, Dawes and T Young are replaced by Lynch, Young and Russell.

That leaves 4 players to be given the flick without any rookie upgrades.

Tarrant retired. That leaves 3.

I'd say the players who are in trouble will come from this pool: Buckley, Wood, Ugle, Rounds and Yagmoor.

This obviously changes if we decide to upgrade Mooney and Williams.

Of course, der. So many brain-farts today.

Apologies.

 

[RuFiO]

Oh! We should upgrade the rookies Caolan and Marley.

They are wonderfull names!

What about Bucks' son Jett?

 

[HFF]

Of course, der. So many brain-farts today.

Apologies.

lol no worries.

Personally, I'd be very satisfied to see the names Buckley and Yagmoor on the chop.

Where?

if its from that stupid facebook site forget it.

 

[Old Spice]

I'd love to know who are ruck options in the PSD. Think they'll be Seaby and Stephenson. Not sure what draft Currie might enter.

not sure he is an upgrade to wood

Be no Worse and help our VFL Team

Another ruckmen will hinder our VFL team, and hinder the development of gault richmond ceglar witts who all need ruck time

 

[Old Spice]

Have to get something decent in PSD like Currie. Stephenson I don't think is of any value at all, same opinion of Seaby.

Interesting reading re Stephenson v Wood this year.

[DWil6]

Certainly appears Wood is the more effective based purely on those numbers.

What about Ayce?? He's Ace!!
