Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[CapitalA]

I don't think 2024 Walters is ahead of 2024 Narkle.

Start of the year Walters was pretty good and Narkle was worst on ground for Port in the final

 

[lukedean16]

Yes and very much so

Narkle is genuinely one of the worst players I've seen play AFL. I'm very comfortable saying he's the worst player I've seen play finals but I've probably seen worse players play for lower teams.

Saying he's more competent than Emmett is ridiculous. It's like some on here haven't seen him play. They aren't missing much tbf.

You genuinely got no idea mate. He is 100% better than Emmett. I’m convinced Emmett is worse than Ash Johnson

Hahaha **** me every time that spuds name is mentioned i think of this

Whoa..mate, that's too far. Ash Johnson is the low watermark for shittest players. Which, by the way, I'm kind if grateful to him. It was previously Dan Parker and we can't have one of our own there.

The equivalent of getting Colyer again, but our best 22 is a lot stronger.

Colyer was a much better footballer.

If a 25 year old clone of Colyer was available I'd have no issue.

Colyer was quicker, harder and had better skills (and his skills and hardness weren't great).

I'm so confused by people's reaction on this. Has anyone on here actually seen Narkle play?

 

[freo1]

I actually really like Narkle. Have watched quite a few of his games. I think it was his first or second game for Port he came on as sub and basically won them the game. Pretty clean, tough and can kick well.

If nothing more than a depth player and someone to help Bolton settle in, I think it's a savvy Rookie List pick up.

People who say "oh yeah but he's been delisted by 2 clubs", well so was Dale Kickett

I wouldn’t waste my time with either of them. Given how close he is with Bolton and Kozzie it can’t hurt to add a little depth for 12 months.

You and me both. I think both wouldn’t last more than a year.

If we really wanted a reject better to throw a lifeline to Ned McHenry from Adelaide who is a true small forward, or better still give Winder a go.

Perhaps get all 4 to train for December (Emmett, Winder, Narkle, McHenry) and pick the best of that lot for the last spot.

And Bolton is not on the selection committee.

 

[Lach72]

What’s the increase to the salary cap? Is it 2.5 million this year?

McHenry is the genuine tough nut of that 4

I’d definitely throw Winder a lifeline and he deserves it. Went down and watched the Souths v Peel game and he was a cut above the rest. Kept the dogs in it for four quarters. He averages 25 a game and just under a goal playing most of his minutes in the midfield but is dangerous when he goes up forward. Happy to roll the dice on him.

It’s increasing by 2 million this coming year.
By 2027 it increases another 600k.

We have been having long contracts already to everyone, which I assume has some increase but less than normal as compensation for the contract length.

Would assume we have no problem taking Warner and having a crack at Kozzie, especially as Fyfe, Walters, O’Meara, Brodie and Aish’s contracts will be shed over the next two years.

If we factor in Kozzie and Warner I’d say we’re only taking draftees for the next three seasons

I'll go on a limb and say there is absolutely no chance we can get Kozzie and Warner. It doesnt make any sense once you take more than a quick look at the numbers

We’re a team that’s tenth.
The salary cap is increasing by around 15% this year alone.
I think long contracts mean slight discount for longevity. I’d almost guarantee Bolton is on more like 850k than the 1.2 he was on before…and the same would go for Darcy and Jackson etc.

It’s something Geelong do very well…also wouldn’t be surprised if all of them are sleeping in brand new Dale Alcock homes tbh

And between Aish, Walters, O’Meara and Brodie there is 2 million at least going.

Having Robinson in 2026 is huge if he keeps it up

 

[Sewell21]

Not a fan of Narkle but thinking more about it having depth on a 1 year contract makes sense. If you are taking a kid you more than not need to give them 2-3 years to see them develop. But please, please no 3-4 year ball and chain deal.

Weird, has played VFL, SANFL and AFL since then without any major injuries

Im with you - I thought Travis Colyer was always under-rated. I think its a little like Petrucelli for the other guys, expectations being high because of their speed, but Travis played some really solid games and also kicked some terrific goals. Never shirked it and always seemed to give 100%, maybe not quite getting the top end result we all hoped for. But I loved watching him play (even with the odd clanger because his body was faster than his mind, often getting ahead of the play - at least he was always trying to create).
