Rumour GFC 2019 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists PT 2

[Pure_Ownage]

Yeah, and they don't magically appear there. Why do you think Tuohy was playing as a defensive forward at the end of the last year? Why do you think Clark was moved onto a wing? Why do you think Bews was brought back in? The coaches don't like the idea of attacking football from halfback because the risk of turnovers is too great. Shuffling the deckchairs in the backline isn't going to help.

To be fair thats because we lack run and carry in the midfield so while our mids can push back to help the defence we cant quick transition the other way. Get Clark onto a wing and draft or trade a quicker young mid plus Steven and we can maybe change that.

Not if it means we are taking on most of his salary, big mistake if you ask me.

IF we are it’s only for one season

 

[thecatattack]

It depends on what we do with the contract. We could split up his contract over 2 years, it’s very common for clubs to do these days.

I'm sure our list managers know what they're doing either way.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Swap zac smith for Jack Steven...wowee.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I’m hopeful but I tend to agree. Smith for Steven would be obscenely good.

Oh yes for a player we were going to delist it would be a steal. 37 and 58 for Steven and say a 40s (maybe a future 3rd back) would be my prediction but 58 would be awesome. Probably depends on who is paying what re his salary as to what pick it costs.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

It would be only for one year so won't stop us bidding for Cameron next year.

True probably just stops us making other moves this trade period TPP wise.

I'm not sure a team that had Patrick Dangerfield, Tim Kelly, Cameron Guthrie, Jordan Clark and Quinton Narkle in it for periods lacked the raw material for run and carry. I think they just don't like playing that way.

Steven for Smith

 

[Kyuss]

58 for Zac Smith - Suns must be nutters - thats like giving pick 2 for Lachie Weller

Smith is a nice bloke - but he is finished as an AFL footballer

Token pick that they are unlikely to use but we obviously had value in.
If / when the Jack Martin deal gets done they will have heaps of top end picks to fill their needs.

People who think with their heads rather than just blindly follow despite the fact they know they will cop sh** from those that blindly follow.

So, according to that - anyone with an opposing perspective to yours is a blind follower? Seems legit.

Do you think our TPP is tight? We allegedly had $800k set aside for TK...

 

[Catman]

How do teams agree these deals with hawthorn.

Frost and Patton for basically free.

Yet we are expected to pay overs for players.

We're not looking for talls they are so good luck to them.

Patton is coming off of 3 knee recos.

That's only 1 less than Menzel.

I think its relatively tight for a top 4 team but not so tight that we cant pay Jacks 800k next year.

Nope not what i said.

We should be looking for talls. A tall forward and a tall ruckman.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Smith just signed a 2 year deal with the GCS, deal is done. Pick 58 to the Cats.

Why a tall forward?

We have Hawkins, Sav and Kreuger.

Possibly although both Danger and Kelly werent playing in roles that allowed them to run and carry a lot and Narkle was out of the team most of the year. I would argue playing Blitz and Sel on a wing limited the run and carry. But yes it may not be a gamestyle we like.

 

[Grimoz]

Ive still got a feeling we might take Jenkins at the last minute.

 

[Seeds]

Stanley

opinions change. Performances change.

Yes and opinions tend to change to what seeds said two years earlier. Its common on this board. Remember that when you post im typing nonsense next time. You will probably agree with me 2 years later.

Frost is awful.

Patton is a salary dump. Hawks wearing the salary because he can clearly play if fit.

Frost is better than Oscar McDonald who they kept, he is far from awful.

He's 26 and never averaged more than 13.5 touches a game.

Good luck to him.
