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

 

[Jumping Jack]

I assume they want someone like Holmes, SDK, Clark etc.

What do we have to reasonably give them?

It’s a good question but not sure how that would play out.

You could argue Pick 7 is about right. But if a player is involved then I’m not sure that would happen unless a pick comes back our way.

Trade week is a week or two away but there’s always a few surprises. All Smith has to do is come out and request a trade and everything changes. If that happens then I think he’s Geelong bound.

We give them Pick 7 and they give us Smith and a Future pick?

I guess we'll wait and see

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Cadman hasn't signed yet for 2025.

And there's a big chance he'll be back in 2 years after speaking to a local at a wake tonight.

 

[year of the cat]

Smith under contract would cost us too much. Happy to wait for another 12 months. Pursue Cadman the following year.

 

[Turbocat]

Where does the bid come for Croft.

Depends, i'd be happy to wait a year too if Cadman is also on the way.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

. Pursue Cadman the following year.

Very big chance.

Where does the bid come for Croft.

At 7 if the Dogs don't own it for Smith

’s salary from its own books as star ruck prepares to move to Sydney, reports The Age.

Grundy is poised to join the Swans during next month’s exchange period – 12 months after his sensational move from Collingwood to Melbourne, despite having five years left on his Magpies mega deal – after falling out of favour at the Demons’ selection table in recent months.

The 29-year-old has reportedly already met with Swans officials and could be one of the first players to officially move clubs when the trade period opens on September 9.

When Grundy moved to Melbourne 12 months ago, Collingwood agreed to continue to pay a portion of his contract – around $350,000 per year until his deal expires in 2027 – to give the club some salary cap relief.

But The Age reported on Wednesday night the Magpies would ask the AFL if they could remove themselves from the Grundy contract, which would help them free up significant future cap space. The report suggested Collingwood would argue that it’d struck a deal with Melbourne — not Sydney — for Grundy

Sydney and Port Adelaide were initially seen as the two main contenders for Grundy’s services, but the Power earlier this month pulled out of the race. The Herald Sun reported Sydney’s pitch to Grundy – which focused on lifestyle and opportunities outside the game – appealed more than Port’s football-orientated pitch, while the Swans’ stronger draft hand (Picks 11, 22, 30, 41 and 49) appealed more to Melbourne than Port Adelaide’s (Picks 37, 43 and 70).

A dual All-Australian and best and fairest winner, Grundy has played 194 games in 11 seasons.

How tf would that work? Pies pay in picks to buy their way out?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

You have faith in the lord?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You have faith in the lord?

Just a local that knows Cadman. And a good mate played in a flag in '17 and Jets with Butters.

 

[year of the cat]

Where does the bid come for Croft.

Has he nominated as a FS yet?

 

[Turbocat]

Has he nominated as a FS yet?

Not yet as far as I know...

And Mace Cousins apparently played In Darleys flag too.

They can ask, but I don’t see how Melbourne or Sydney will agree to pay that share.

Why would sydney/Melbourne agree to any alteration? Unless salary trading comes in and Collingwood offer up a pick to get themselves out of paying their share?

 

[Turbocat]

How tf would that work? Pies pay in picks to buy their way out?

Its sounds like they are squirming for a way out... but if they are still on the hook for 250/350... then yes it probably costs them a pick to get out of it. Its bit like pick purchasing that Twomey keeps raising. A pick for sal cap.

 

[Turbocat]

Just a local that knows Cadman. And a good mate played in a flag in '17 and Jets with Butters.

One would think we would be in the running as he is a bit like Cameron... not from the city.

I can’t see how the Pies can be part of that trade? Would be unprecedented. But knowing the AFL they’ll sign off on it.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

And I reckon JUH will end up at the Cats too.

Well ..the whole concept of someone paying for another clubs player ... is the thin end of the wedge on corrupting the sal cap ... so eventually this had to happen ...where a player is traded and their wage is split on a long contract leading to a third club coming into it.

If the Swans offered a good pick as long as melb kept a portion of his wage we have three clubs paying him ... but if they are willing to swallow his wage... maybe they get Pies to give a pick to Melb and the swans get him for no pick at all. Trade radio will spend days on imo.
