Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

[FR0GGY]

Sam Petresvski Seton is on the list of unsigned Eagles that Kornes said shouldn't be resigned. Is he really that far off it or is that just another shock jock Kane-ism?

Not saying we should grab him, just that I didn't think a former pick 6, 25 year old with 120+ games experience is an obvious list casualty for a team/List thats as low down as West Coast.

He looks bog average

[ worth a look at by the Crows. He kicked 44 goals for the Suns in 2022, only managed eight senior games this season. He is looking for greener pastures although he has 2 years left on his contract.

If he comes with pick 4, then sure....

Much better than Himmelberg. Not a high bar but Chol would be worth a consideration.

For those interested, here’s a list of the top 15 Key Defenders according to the AFL Player Ratings, and also what their current clubs got them for:

D. Moore - Pick 9

H. Andrews - Pick 61

S. Taylor - Pick 28

J. Weitering - Pick 1

S. May - traded for Pick 6

C. Wilkie - Rookie Draft

J. Lever - traded for two late 1sts

A. Aliir - traded for 2nd round pick

N. Balta - Pick 25

T. Barass - Pick 43

B. Cox - Pick 41

C. Ballard - Pick 42

B. Hardwick - Pick 44

J. Buckley - Rookie Draft

J. McGovern - Rookie Draft

So 4 of the top 7 cost their clubs first round picks, but the rest cost the clubs next to nothing really…

Would be interesting to compare to thr top ranked key forwards & midfielders.

can you do the same for forwards?

 

[LoBu]

Anything in the rumour that we sign Crouch on a decent contract then trade him and pay his salary?

M.Rucci said Port were looking at something similar for one of their players last week.

This clearly only works when getting a good player back, and serves to reduce the pick required (take on salary instead of a high pick).

Yeah I can’t see it

Unless that Hayward rumour is somehow true

I think the issue here (like forwards) is that apart from those standouts, you regularly have to invest time and energy developing them.

It has to be Hayward, it lines up with Sydney - Crouch talk. Would all have to be announced at the same time.

 

[DJ75]

Would be a staggeringly good move for us.
For Sydney? Not so sure. They lose Franklin's $$ from their salary cap, so would they really need much cap relief?

Surely this is against the rules.

 

[Crow-eater]

Surely this is against the rules.

Depends if the AFL like you or not.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Surely this is against the rules.

Maybe? We’ve seen players traded the same year they were re-signed before (Schache comes to mind), but not sure if a ‘sign-and-trade’ is allowed

 

[LoBu]

Would be a staggeringly good move for us.
For Sydney? Not so sure. They lose Franklin's $$ from their salary cap, so would they really need much cap relief?

Depends on how much they are offering MacKay, and are they targeting a big forward again (Sydney needs a marquee forward, it's been their model for since Cappa - Lockett - Tippet (lol) - Buddy).

I guess for the preverbial dominoes to fall MacKay has to go to Sydney.

Maybe his brother's on the outer at Carlton and needs to go too?

 

[MRB37]

Surely this is against the rules.

Can't see how it's a problem if all parties agree and consent to it. But i'm sure the AFL would have some reason why they'd reject it because they're still 30 years behind the times when it comes to player movement.

That and it’s us.
Collingwood or Geelong? No worries!

Not saying we should grab him, just that I didn't think a former pick 6, 25 year old with 120+ games experience is an obvious list casualty for a team/List thats as low down as West Coast.

I am shocked that he’s played so many games. Hard pass for me

 

[tinman]

He looks bog average

I’d say well below average

 

[MRB37]

It may help Sydney though, which could get it over the line.

 

[WeeBlake]

This is the correct answer to every question about afl rules, with the rider “… and what the betting companies think”

 

[Scorpus]

The AFL banned Sydney from trading after they recruited Buddy

What does he offer McAdam is not currently as a forward.. I suppose less games injured?

 

[Jirkago75]

I’d love us to target Milera-Wanganeen from saints, he will be an amazing get. Would out first this year get it done??

Gets higher up the ground and creates more than McAdam.
High pressure forward too.
