Rumour GFC 2017 Player Trading, Drafting, FA, Rumours, and Wish lists.

[Daniel McL]

Sounds like it'll be Lang as part of the Ablett deal.

Clayton didn't sound interested in GHS when asked about it.

I wouldn't expect it to be a straight swap. Possibly Lang + 3rd Round Pick for Ablett + 2nd Round Pick?

Pretty sure Pure_Ownage hinted that we could afford Lids' salary last year, was the draft pick price we weren't willing to pay

No offence but I'll believe Wells over ppl on Big Footy. We need Motlop gone but it didn't happen. It's a nice theory though. We are tight with the cap. How many other ppl at the club need to tell everyone that.

“We’re not going to force anybody out,” Wells said. “I think finances (will be the stumbling block). We’re very respectful of the salary cap and with the guys we brought in last year and players we have at Geelong previous to that, we’re very tight with our salary cap situation and trying to find a way through all that to fit in those two players won’t be easy.

“I guess there is always a way. If we offered up one of our ripper players that we really want to keep that might get the deal done"

"It's a bit different to this time last year when we brought in four players (Patrick Dangerfield, Zac Smith, Scott Selwood and Lachie Henderson),"

"We had been preparing for it for quite a long time, probably a couple of years really, and had the draft picks and the salary cap space and positions on our list where we were able to do those four trades.

"Whereas this year, coming late, it's going to be a bit harder for us to do."

Good deal, can't see that happening to be honest.

 

[BigCat1]

Wells dropped the hammer.... and he has been proven justified...

If that's what you want to believe. Money was the main stumbling block.

 

[catempire]

Lang will be a jet. Good luck to whichever club gets him. Give him a fair crack in the middle and watch him develop into a gun.

I'm on under 100 AFL games. Who's with me?

They are asking for Duncan in the Ablett trade.. they aren't gonna give us a pick upgrade if Lang is involved. They would think Lang For Gaz is a bad deal for them so why would they throw in a 2nd round pick?

 

[year of the cat]

Would fit in considering none of them are hard workers up there... perfect culture for Watts

He even looks a bit like a meter maid

The next #JJ200 ?

Because we'll ask nicely

Nope, not with ya this time sorry CE.

I like Lang, if he gets more midfield time wherever he plays in the future I think he'll play at least 100 games.

 

[catempire]

The next #JJ200 ?

Well I was right (just) on under 10 AFL games for him!

he'll get there. Just.
56 games for a cellar dweller isn't much of a challenge.

 

[cats_09]

A player has to agree to the trade correct?

Why would Duncan want to even go to the GC?

I could understand if he was looking at a move out west considering he is originally from Perth, but not sure I get why he would look at the GC

It was a step too far for Jansen

Indeed. Which is why I increased the threshold tenfold.

It will not happen... but imagine if GC wanted to show they could get big deals done and they offered him Danger like money... over 3-5 years..

I always have a chuckle when I think about that JJ trade melt

 

[Two Planks]

Gold Coast offered pick 10 and Ablett for Duncan last year. They also tabled an offer to Mitch for $800k per year

I thought that last year GC told Ablett they wouldn't consider a trade

Lets hope like hell this doesn't turn into a Caddy scenario, although it was Geelong that mentioned his name as apart of the Delidio trade, wasn't it? Duncan is top 5 at Geelong. He CANNOT be part of any trade

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but Mackie is moving into recruitment and list management at the Cats

There was talk Bartel was going to move into that. Has the Mackie one been announced anywhere?

 

[JackFlash]

If Geelong trade Duncan to the Gold Coast for Ablett, i'll buy all the pitchforks required for each and every one of you for the march on the club's offices! The Caddy deal was dumb enough, FFS let's not do anything as dumb again! Ablett is 34 in May and i understand why they want him back, but Scott Clayton is sniffing the rug cleaning fluid if the thinks he's getting Duncan!

If that happened Duncan must have said no because I’m sure Geelong would have taken that last year.
