Rumour GFC 2022 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists PT2

[Turbocat]

With our later picks i think we will be trying to trade out (into 2023 picks) rather than trying to trade up anyway.

18 will be going in trades.

All we can do is try...

 

[Warhorse]

Bowes, pick 7 and Henry would be nothing short of outstanding for this week

As I just posted... everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Luckily this site is a melting pot for opinions all things footy, with just enough facts thrown in every now and then to keep us interested.

 

[Turbocat]

On the other hand, I consider PO and TC to be in the upper echelon of quality posters here, and listen quite happily to their musings about the trade period because they're so well versed in its mechanics and how the system works.

Such debate and discussion is one reason this site exists.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Slow start happens every year now. The media have got hold of the trade period as a spectacle and have brought in the televised deals on the last day.

Can expect nominations, but I doubt any of the big dominos fall until the last couple of days.

Wish it was just brought back to a week tbh.

News tonight saying the Henry deal has gotten complicated?

The trick now is to get it all done ... without getting stripped of P7

In what way

Hey, I like people having a dip.

I also like lolling at people when they get it wrong.

More credit to people to keep fronting up and sharing opinions / info if they cop a bit of heat for getting something wrong and don't go into hiding.

We all support Geelong and want the best for the side.

We are all in a bloody damn good spot atm.

The more posts the better IMO... They create good convos, keep them coming everyone.

Because Collingwood want to keep him, pretty stupid really considering they have bought in 2 other guys plus have Johnston playing in his spot, let the bloody kid go

In what way

Something along the lines of the compensation they've received for trading ? (didn't catch the name) vs the salary they were paying him ......

Not sure how / why that impacts the Henry deal......probably just Browne making it up.

 

[tielgaz]

How about a poll, players coming to Geelong:
Bowes - yes
Bruhn - yes
Henry - no
The Irishman - no

PO and Turbo are quality posters and this forum is so much better for their presence here.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ok, been keeping a low profile again today. Did I miss anything in the last 12 pages this time?

I doubt we're offering Henry huge money, so maybe we're yet to offer the first round pick?

Or we've offered the first and the Pies are just being ****heads

OR the most likely of them all, Browne making it all up as you said.

Absolutely.

They bring a good deal of understanding, knowledge, and healthy speculation to the forum.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

as II may just have a more old fashioned view to it, but I see people say "What spot do they take!!" when discussing all the potential kids we have coming in, as far 'm concerned, who cares... They are young highly rated kids... I'm not for gifting games, we have a bloody good side, if they crack in over preseaon and force themselves in Rd 1 then brilliant, if they build for a year in the 2s then that is fine...

I know the current world needs instant gratification, but the high pick talent we are all over is as much a long term thing as it is a short term... The success of any trade absolutely isn't dependent on the next 12 months

What a load of over confident nonsense

So youd buy some shares would you mate - just chuck the share certificates in the bottom draw - and look at them in a couple of years - and all willl be good

Bowes to us (apparently) Henry deal been complicated, Mackie is handsome, young and cool and is an asset to us.

That seems to be the daily news.

 

[catempire]

But as my wife says to me, "You were still wrong".

And as all husbands know, even when you’re right you are wrong actually.

How about a poll, players coming to Geelong:
Bowes - yes
Bruhn - yes
Henry - no
The Irishman - no

Bowes - no
Bruhn - yes
Henry - yes
McKenna - no

 

[Jumping Jack]

I think he knows where he’s going.

Shit someone from Queensland flying back to Queensland....that surely means he hasnt made a decision, what a load of bollocks, clutching!!

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

I’ve explained my comments re Holmes. Think I was pretty clear how that played out.


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

IIRC you said he was good to go and you were correct , the decision not to play him was classic risk management - a fear that , although healthy, he may breakdown during the game.

Interestingly we spoke with Josh Jenkins at a function on Friday evening - he didn't give away much but did say he believed Holmes would be "fit". We got the feeling with that answer that he wouldn't be selected

I hope you're right about Bowes - I think he'll be very good and P7 is a huge bonus

The Bowes to us thing, is there any actual news or just random media?
