Rumour GFC 2018 Player Trading, Drafting, FA, Rumours, and Wish lists - PT3

[Max Milburn]

I would of made McCarthy fly to brissy .
Doubt we just much for him anyways.

Pretty sure Fagan would have been going to the finals anyway.

True DAT.

Hawthorn made it because they got Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Lewis with early draft picks.
Richmond made it because they got Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt, with early picks.
Bulldogs got Bontempelli, Stringer McCrae.
Collingwood had Pendelbury, Didak, Thomas,Brown
Doesn't matter which way you look at it you need some of those top 10-15 picks to be successful.
It's something we just haven't had access to.
No team that hasn't dropped down the ladder at least for a year has one a flag except Sydney who had Cola and academy picks.
The last time I can remember a club trading in a superstar and won a flag was Greg Williams.

It's a brave new world Spazz. It hasn't worked for us (yet) but with FA you will see a club bring enough talent to snag a flag.
And don't forget we currently do have some top 10-15 picks on the list, even if they are getting on a bit or haven't yet shown full potential.

I'd be happy to send McCarthy with our Pick 54, to Lions for their Pick 40. That will be more than enough points to get Bailey Scott if he nominates us.

 

[CatRiot]

Probably what I'd try to do with these fringe players like - GHS, Thurlow, Smith, McCarthy... If there is interest, we know we wont get much in a straight swap, but we could get Pick Upgrades this year and next. I'm all for that. I still would prefer to keep Thurlow and Smith, given low Ruck stocks available in draft, and the possible congestion rules may help players like Thurlow.

Just on my memory its Cocky (injured) and Selwood 2007 and Tommy should be counted 2007.
Also players were moving and being traded all the time before FA.
Sydney wouldn't have had the picks to get Franklin, we probably couldn't have got Rivers but apart from that it hasn't changed much. Id say all those players would of got to those same clubs anyway and Franklin would've just gone to GWS instead.
Yeah there's a possiblity it could happen one day but history shows you need a few of those picks and they have to come through together.

He can just nominate psd .. we will most likely get zero of worth.. Maybe a future pick Brisbane may be hopeful of elevating

 

[foxdog50]

I would hope for at least a 40-50 pick.

If they are that keen they should cough up.

We are talking about Geelong here.. . We don't like to ask much. ..

 

[foxdog50]

I honestly wouldn't mind getting Josh Green , if McCarthy goes we need a small forward. And it doesn't cost us anything. Give him a 1 year contract as we got nothing to lose.

 

[Turbocat]

Sidebottom and beams were lowish picks aswell for Collingwood.

what do you call lowish?
SBottom P11 , Beams P29

It matter of what is realistic ... what would get something off them is if Carlton were interested enough to take him in the PSD

I went 1 low 100 high.
Don't know why.

Come on... You have to admit we are soft when we trade players eg when players want to move on. .

Are we soft in deals... Id guess Id have to see it deal by deal. What I think we traditional do is favour getting it done..if we want some ..the other club knows we don't mess around.. so more often than not , get the deal done not so much look for the absolute best price.

What sort of deal should we get done with an uncontracted player dealing with a bottom side?

 

[Turbocat]

Its a confusing jargin... I stay away from high and low for that reason.. I prefer early and late.

So ive just heard from a pretty reliable source who has links to the club that Aaron Hall will be at Geelong in a straight swap for GHS. Not sure what to think if true.

Don't forget Paddy. Also Menzel and Harry were pick 17. I agree Tommy should be counted, Gaz as well.

It's not just if McCarthy goes to Brisbane. We seem to look after the player instead of looking after the club in trying to reward the club.

Aaron's a bit inconsistent, isn't he?

"Might do well under a more structured club"

I like Aaron Hall. Great to watch when he's going.
I know most don't though cause he's bit of a downhill skier (except against Richmond)
A swap for GHS is an amazing deal for us though.

One way runner, has been dropped this year because of it, will fit right in

You'd rather have GHS than Hall?

Fox..one deal at a time... in your opinion what should we get this one deal ?

To me its no good trying to orange juice our a lemon. If we have no hand there is little we can do.. uncontracted player going to a bottom club is almost a FA with no comp. If we could get a future from it we probably have done well imo.
