Rumour GFC 2020 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists

[ibuprofen]

Are you suggesting that the GFC has had officers on take trailing Brad, waiting for an opportunity to catch him out in order to squash any leverage Adelaide possessed just so we can get him in the Blue & White hoops on the cheap???

WOW. Huge conspiracy there mate, remember, you said it, not me

I said it as a joke yesterday. I wasn't serious if anyone thought I was.

You quoted me before I was able to fix up my wording...damn, I hate it when people are that fast

If we loose Cocky & narkle we need some players with pace

Will suck to lose Cockatoo but can’t blame him to potentially want a fresh start elsewhere, don’t mind if he goes to Brisbane and hopefully can see some of his talent shine.

As for Narkle, I really don’t want him to go, I’m hoping the players and Scott are in his ear to stay, but I know that our club do not get in the way if someone wants to go, we let them and tend to facilitate a trade to make sure they get the move.

Cameron in for a 1st rounder
Higgins & Goldstein for a 2nd rounder
Take 2 1st rounders to the draft

Ben Brown doesn't fit the game style. Ben Brown also has knee injuries during the last season which effect his value. Cameron is a perfect fit style wise with no injuries during the last season that effect long term value.. And is a genuine level above Brown. Brown was probably worth the 800k North offered last year but Cameron is that next step up in value.

I'd have no problem paying Brown if he fit but he doesn't. Being a good player, doesn't mean we should sign them but Cameron is perfect.

I agree that Cameron is a great player and im not disputing his value just that we dont tend to pay the big big dollars regardless of how good they are and as mentioned with the Cap reductions its going to become tighter, i think he stays at GWS anyway.

Cameron in for a 1st rounder
Higgins & Goldstein for a 2nd rounder
Take 2 1st rounders to the draft

Would take our last 1st rounder at the minimum to get Goldy and Higgins, no way we get them for a 2nd.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I hope it is. That's a good outcome

If they are offering that their cap is stuffed and if be surprised if we aren't offering more he's worth more.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would take our last 1st rounder at the minimum to get Goldy and Higgins, no way we get them for a 2nd.

Which is why we will get Higgins and not Goldy. I doubt Goldstein has had a change in his family situation to let him come anyway.

 

[frggr]

Why? It means we aren't in the running if we can't offer much more. He ain't leaving for 50k more if thats what they are talking.

However, it does kind of confirm we are talking to him despite the speculation he wasn't talking to anyone else.

Hrmmm, $50k plus a better lifestyle, better fishing, better off field opportunities and a team that looks like it'll keep competing in a place that's closer to home, too.

Feeling will be offering more than $750k though

 

[Two Planks]

Cameron in for a 1st rounder
Higgins & Goldstein for a 2nd rounder
Take 2 1st rounders to the draft

If Giants don't match free agency offer they will get pick 9 as compensation which is better than any 1 pick we can offer. If they do match we would have to cough up 2 1st rounders.

 

[THE CAT WRANGLER]

Will suck to lose Cockatoo but can’t blame him to potentially want a fresh start elsewhere, don’t mind if he goes to Brisbane and hopefully can see some of his talent shine.

No linebreskers will be our problem

No linebreskers will be our problem

Cockatoo and Narkle have played 20 games between them in the last 3 years they don't even count lol

 

[Drunkcat]

Don't believe what someone said on Cameron or anyone unless club or player come out and say it...as so mush bullshit get's said at this time

 

[GoGeta]

I agree that Cameron is a great player and im not disputing his value just that we dont tend to pay the big big dollars regardless of how good they are and as mentioned with the Cap reductions its going to become tighter, i think he stays at GWS anyway.

I would agree with you about any other position on the field bar FF, It does seem like the hardest to fill with quality. I reckon we would throw a lot at a ready made, middle aged proven FF if we had too. It would depend on what the Cats can see ahead of them in regards to internal development, other options coming out of contract over the next 2 years and Hawkins longevity. Stays at GWS is my guess as most others think.

 

[Commando]

Yes I'm sure he will also. 700k is an insult even with a rubbish year. If they can get him for say 800k, its a master stroke but ain't going to happen.

Makes me think there is a dark horse.

Reckon Sydney are right into him

 

[Sttew]

Henry and Parfitt both have upside but this is Jeremy Cameron.

So if the club could trade Henry and Parfitt for Cameron, you would say no? Reality is that they could probably trade both for picks and then sign Cameron as a FA.

Reminds me of the Ottens / Moloney deal

 

[Sttew]

Reckon Sydney are right into him

How many years does Buddy have on his massively back ended contract?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If Giants don't match free agency offer they will get pick 9 as compensation which is better than any 1 pick we can offer. If they do match we would have to cough up 2 1st rounders.

I agree Cameron should be FA or not at all.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

How many years does Buddy have on his massively back ended contract?

2 more left to 2022.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No linebreskers will be our problem

I think we have a few linebreaker but yes we could use to draft another one.

 

[tielgaz]

If Goldstein and/or Higgins are available for a second fine. Not using a first on them. Would have to package up Higgins, Brown and Goldstein for me to consider, which they won't.

Turn it up, if we got both for a late 1st rounder It’s a bargain if north cover some of their wage!!!!!

 

[tielgaz]

If we can’t get Cameron I’d rather just go with key posts 2021:

Hawkins + danger

Reserve: Esava

After Hawkins retires it’ll be:

Esava + danger

If we can’t get Cameron, there’s no point trying to go after complete dog sh*t just for the sake of it. You need backups sure, but quality over quantity

If we have that forward line forget it. We need to get better not worse to move forward!!!

 

[Sttew]

2 more left to 2022.

Ok. And having re-signed Papley I don’t think they have the money unless they sign Cameron to a “Buddy contract”

 

[frggr]

How many years does Buddy have on his massively back ended contract?

2 years at $2.5 million total

 

[tielgaz]

If we don't get the 27yo 196cm CHF Jeremy Cameron, then let's just PLAY our 21yo 196cm CHF Nathan Kreuger

Trouble is Kreuger isn’t any good or he would be playing. Cameron is a proven performer, not sure how you can compare the two.
