Rumor summary October 5

[ams4crows]

I wonder if Freo's first pick is for sale if they want picks next year for Warner? I imagine our F1st would interest them greatly

 

[1990crow]

Twomey also just said (yes, I'm stupid enough to be listening) that we're interested in Pick 12. I like this. Regardless of the outcome, you can't say we're not being aggressive.

How would we actually make that happen

 

[FR0GGY]

How would we actually make that happen

Digging into next years loot

 

[Crows I Am]

In that scenario, I have no doubt whatsoever they will try and bundle up their remaining picks to get another 1st this year (maybe a later one). Then watch them try their level best to trade up to get in ahead of us for Draper

Can't see Port getting a top 3 pick to get in front of us this year.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

They're a throuple?

Guess it's better than the current one of Nicks, Murphy & Laird.

 

[Crow till I die]

Can't see Port getting a top 3 pick to get in front of us this year.

If Houston is happy to go to North, they are every chance to get Norths 1st this year for him as North seem very keen

 

[Cromulant]

If Houston is happy to go to North, they are every chance to get Norths 1st this year for him as North seem very keen

North wouldnt even be that stupid

 

[FR0GGY]

Trade radio dropping some Gary123 news this afternoon, sounds salacious.

I just want to know if Jenny got home and Wayne found google?

 

[Crows I Am]

If Houston is happy to go to North, they are every chance to get Norths 1st this year for him as North seem very keen

Wasn't it reported that they were offering next years first?

Also, Houston would be low chance to select North.

 

[crow2crow]

North wouldnt even be that stupid

they already offered it to port

the issue it houston wont go there

 

[Eagleboy2011]

If Houston is happy to go to North, they are every chance to get Norths 1st this year for him as North seem very keen

PA want over for Houston but WC expected pick 13 for Barras. Crazy.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Likely to be traded to Richmond for a player or 2...

 

[Eddie Murphy]

North wouldnt even be that stupid

I can see it. Like Gold Coast, a high profile recruit is more of a need to them than yet another high draft pick. They might also back themselves to improve next year upon recruiting Houston, Parker and Darling.

 

[CromradeCromulent]

So how would getting that pick 12 even work?

 

[FR0GGY]

F1

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm not quite sure we will, seeing it'll require demoting someone to the rookie list to fit him in. At the moment, we're looking at four open list spots on our main list as McHenry, Gollant, Sloane, and Himmelberg are without contract alongside 3 open rookie pick spots(?).

I hope we do find someone who is willing to take that bullet, seeing Welsh looks quite the player.

In my books that highlights how incompetent Reid is

Welsh should have been safeguarded. Yes it helps he has drifted but we still should have a spot for him

That we have to manipulate or beg someone is poor

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Strange if we are looking to bring in pick 12 when we are struggling for list spots.

Are we trading players out?

Hopefully

 

[radiojake]

why would GC just be wanting to trade out pick 12 in the first place?

 

[MRB37]

Powa getting absolutely reamed if they even contemplate that madness. 2 time AA with 2 years on his contract.

Article in the Advertiser today suggesting that the GC demands are based on how much salary they have to cover.

So could be a case of Port needing the Suns to cover a big chunk of those first two years and Suns are demanding a truckload in return for it.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

why would GC just be wanting to trade out pick 12 in the first place?

They just need points for Leo Lombard

 

[Hodgy]

Strange if we are looking to bring in pick 12 when we are struggling for list spots.

Are we trading players out?

We can easily free up 6 spots.
3 trades - Cumming, Peatling, ANB
3 draft picks - 4, 12 and Welsh

What are you talking about? We still have enough uncontracted players to get Welsh, pick #4, ANB and Cumming - with possibly enough room for another trade/FA target as well.

You're getting all heated up over things which haven't happened yet, and almost certainly won't.

 

[FR0GGY]

What’s he projected to go at? Higher than 12?

I notice you didnt criticise the post I got the info from
