Does that leave just Rohan and Simpson without a deal for 2023?

Didn't Rohan sign a 2 year deal 12 months ago

 

[Shadow89]

Didn't Rohan sign a 2 year deal 12 months ago

I'm so confused about this one. Nowhere is it said that he's contracted past this year...but then it's pretty wide knowledge amongst our base that he is contracted until the end of next season - how has no-one caught this, lol?

Yep, just Simpson

You will be completely spewing the Guthries are contracted.

 

[you pick one]

You will be completely spewing the Guthries are contracted.

I must admit at the start of this season I thought this would be Zacs last year as a Cat he's had a fine season and ever so pleased to see his brother doing what made him such a good player in 2016 winning his own footy and attacking through the middle of the ground long may it continue. Congratulations to both.No no spewing here.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Does that leave just Rohan and Simpson without a deal for 2023?

Rohan signed.

Simpson the only player with no deal.

 

[Finknottle]

I don’t think you can count Menzel as a draft failure. Clearly the talent was there and he played plenty of great games. Brown and Cockatoo on afl lists for a long time show that they both had the talent.

Dan Menzel had sublime skills, was such a pity that his knees prevented him from being the star he should have been. As good as Stevie J was Menzel was better. In that era, in terms of talent I'd only rate Gary Ablett Jnr higher.

 

[Phill Hendo]

Its the quiet time of the year in terms of the football cycle. But we still have the draft to speculate on. So here is my dream senario.

Step 1 We delist Simpson with the intention of re drafting him as a rookie.

Step 2 We go after Busslinger with the intention of taking him at 7. West Coast them trade pick 8 and 20 to Geelong for 7 so they get Busslinger.
Its those picks or Busslinger is a Cat. (Andrew Mackie

making an early claim as our new trading genius)

Step3 Assuming the trade with West Coast occurs, we draft Phillipou at 8. With us already having brought in so much tallent I'm going for a boom or bust pick with Phillipou. Boom and he is the next Danger, bust and he is delisted in about 3 years.

Step 4 We take the best available key position prosect at 20. Fingers crossed.

Step 5 Closhesy makes it through undrafted and so we get him as a B Rookie. He will rival Tommy Atkins for his attack on the ball and opposition.

Step 6 We take another key position speculative pick with our late pick.

Step 7 Riccardi comes in as an A rookie. He will take time.


If we manage this after winning the flag our trade period and with very high levels of optimism surrounding last years draft intake, the AFL might just change the rules to give the bottom teams a chance!

Does your dream scenario have room for McKenna? There is a spare rookie spot for him if Clohesy can be taken as a cat B.

Yep. Forgot to put him in. Step 8

 

[Sire of Claude]

Was there a phantom draft in today's 'Scum'? And if so, who are we predicted to take?

 

[Wild Cat 14]

Was there a phantom draft in today's 'Scum'? And if so, who are we predicted to take?

I think the original phantom version might have been in yesterday's paper. It had us taking Clark at pick 8 (after bids for Ashcroft at pick 2 push us back one spot). Today's paper had a supposed "readers top 25." Don't know why they bother - the readers picks had Cadman at 25 (OMG) so a complete waste of space. So many people with a keyboard with such little clue (says me as I type a message onto bigfooty !).

 

[Sire of Claude]

Yes the consensus - or is it the assumption? - is that we'll take Clark if available.

 

[catempire]

Based on nothing but gut feel, Hawks take Clark and Cats trade out 7.

 

[gogeelongcats]

Based on nothing but gut feel, Hawks take Clark and Cats trade out 7.

We have plenty of depth so best to take the best available player.

 

[fpm84]

Based on nothing but gut feel, Hawks take Clark and Cats trade out 7.

Not sure if Hawks need Clark if they think Worpel will get back to his best and that Cooper S will be a long term player for them?

 

[Stokey]

Based on nothing but gut feel, Hawks take Clark and Cats trade out 7.

We would be mad not to take Humphreys if the Hawks did that

 

[ShaunWDT]

We would be mad not to take Humphreys if the Hawks did that

I still dont see how people think Humphrey even gets to the Hawks pick let alone ours, would be astounded if Gold Coast dont take him.

 

[you pick one]

Has Geelong made any sort of commitment to take Clark if available or is this all Bigfooty and media driven?

 

[Stokey]

I still dont see how people think Humphrey even gets to the Hawks pick let alone ours, would be astounded if Gold Coast dont take him.

It will all hinge on Gibney.

Closhesy hasn't played football for three years?
Cause that is the only way he can be Cat B isn't it? NGA's are Primary list or Cat A aren't they?

 

[D BRIDGE]

It will all hinge on Gibney.

It'll be happy days come our pick if GC take Gibney (which I doubt).

 

[cats_09]

Closhesy hasn't played football for three years?
Cause that is the only way he can be Cat B isn't it? NGA's are Primary list or Cat A aren't they?

NGA are primary list or CatB, father & son selections are primary or CatA

This is taken from a write-up on a few potential NGA & FS selections for a rival team (Hawthorn)

Jerome Lawrence, son of Stephen Lawrence:
Projected draft range: Late-rookie
Lawrence projects as a later pick who possibly slips into the rookie draft. He is late to the elite development system, which might indicate untapped potential, and he has shown the ability to perform in patches at NAB League level, but his lack of exposed form will mean is isn’t taken higher in the draft.


Josh Bennetts, NGA:
Projected draft range: Late-rookie
Hawthorn shouldn’t be worried about having to match a bid on Bennetts, and will be hoping he slips through to the rookie draft, where the Hawks will be able to place him straight on the Category B rookie list.

 

[CatRiot]

There was a decent mature KPD in the VFL racking up big stats... What's his name again? and what draft selection is he likely to go at?

Probably not a priority considering we kept Sav.

 

[Lana]

Based on nothing but gut feel, Hawks take Clark and Cats trade out 7.

I'm not too wedded Clark, I'm perfectly fine with trading 7 to get something useable for next years draft, if only just to give us some more capital to trade in more mature players next year.
