The guy I get my goss from was in to my work today
Fist pump with the Cumming news was happy considering he’d been talking it up for over 12 months

I asked if knew anything more ,said wasn’t sure on Peatling but not shocked if we got him

He’s involved with alot of junior SANFL development too and I asked about Draper , said Port are pushing Houston out they want to get into the draft and get Sid Draper if possible
Pretty adamant we’d take him at 4 if available, will focus on local talent this year trying to get Dodson if possible

Reckons we’ll go balls deep for NWM (next year) the 2 year in advance future picks came at the right time

Quality rumour(s)!

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Really interesting the power being into Sid .. does this mean they've accepted Butters is heading home?

No idea on Butters
I think they’d look at Rozzee across half back as that quarterback Tom Stewart role

 

[PeterSalt]

Mmm .. fair enough

a bucket load of power posters think Butters will head home when Hinkley hangs up his boots

Rozee as a Tom Harley doesn't inspire any confidence with me for them

 

[spenze]

Has it changed? I'm sure it came out of your first pick from the succeeding year last time I was interested.

And I thought the same as you as well, it must of changed, I've checked a couple of references and I'm too damned tired to source a third

 

[PeterSalt]

He doesn't defend .. not sure he's much of an intercept marker either

 

[FR0GGY]

He ain’t no Dawson

Hey .. appreciate the posts .. went off on my own tangent then

 

[1970crow]

Imagine Tex in Brisbane’s side

Tex should try and get a 1 year deal from Cats. Reunite with Danger and have a genuine crack at a flag in his final year.

That’s my uncle.

 

[LoBu]

Surely we can stop all this negativity now .....this has been the best off-season coup in our history

This despite Nicks having spoken to all the Draftee's B4 coming ......Mmmm

6 Clubs chasing Peatling .....he chooses us

Nicks' time at GWS paying off

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Me personally rate him very highly. But Ive been told that Draper is our target if he’s still there when we pick.

Oh, I meant more where does he sit if Draper is gone by then

 

[WearyCrow]

Lot of positives, still need to wait and see how the various trades unfold.

 

[jenny61_99]

Don’t know. All I was told was Draper.

 

[FR0GGY]

Nicks' time at GWS paying off

I don’t think peatling was at the club then!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

This is not going to end well .....

 

[Syd Crow]

I don’t think peatling was at the club then!

Cumming was, but Peatling definitely wasn't.

 

[1970crow]

How are you going to pay for Welsh, especially if someone tries to screw us?

Does t it just eat into next year’s third if we don’t have the picks left this year?

 

[LoBu]

I don’t think peatling was at the club then!

According to gettable Peatling was in the academy at the time Nicks was there, and didn't get drafted so was assistant coach while Nicks was too.

I don't know the details, coach of what team or if they were coaching together or not, but that's the story.

 

[CrowToon]

Surely that's our business done now?

I have no idea, does the academy train with the squad?

Been like that for ages, it’s the only way it’s been done that I’ve known of.

 

[LoBu]

No idea either, but credit to the Sydney connection to Nicks, that's his territory.

 

[spenze]

We are after Norths pick 2 and will if pushed, offer both Laird and Murphy if it gets the deal over the line

 

[baaaallllll]

So we have to trade for ANB and Peatling whilst also holding onto pick 4 (and hope the Arse Pirates don't get NM pick 2), then hopefully get Hobson (somehow) and have enough draft capital to get Welsh.

I assume we won't get any compo for Berg, given we got Cummings.

Some creative thinking required or trade a current player that is actually worth something (appears unlikely).

I feel somewhat for GWS fans. We have had our fair share of loosing players, so it is nice to get players come to us, but still feel bad for their supporters.

NM should fold if they involve pick 2 in a Houston deal.
