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

[Hamingja]

If we trade our future first for Bruhn or Henry that means we can't trade our future second back to GC as part of Bowes/pick 7 right?

Bowes + Pick 7 + Pick 25 for Pick 18 and Pick 38

Pick 25 for Henry

Would please Collingwood supporters no doubt....

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Well done JD

I love you Tom Morris

 

[Cataholic]

If true I can probably get some work done now....

Nah. Time to celebrate. Take the rest of the day off......

Any young man who takes less $$$ on offer from other clubs to play for Geelong is OK in my books, especially so when you've already been screwed over by doing the team thing at your previous club. Give him first dibs on a jumper number as a sweetener.

#7.

Sorry Norm.

 

[Sticksman]

Apparently Bowes has been training the house down.

 

[sarah.13]

Woooi hooooo . We’ve done it again !

 

[StonedCat]

Is getting Bowes the catalyst to really get the ball rolling on everyone else we want ?

 

[Two Planks]

So do we do the deal now, or is there still some haggling to be done.

Give him Number 14 to really show our appreciation

Jake Niall does most of his work out of the local sheltered workshop. Matthew Lloyd just dirty on every other club because his own club is the basket case of the competition.

Not sure why people place so much credibility on what guys like these two say.

Jake Niall is a good journalist and Matthew Lloyd understands the game better than most. Geelong has in a way gamed the system or at least found a way to exploit it. Others will copy Geelong if they can. Geelong is sitting pretty due to it's constant appearance in finals resulting in it being a destination club.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

I hope we don't lodge the paperwork until the deadline.

"Dear Collingwood / GWS, what pick 7?"

 

[00VicWard001]

Knocked back significant amount of money by choosing Geelong. I rate this guy and think he overtakes a lot of our players

WHy do you rate him? Would be keen to hear your thoughts/

Is it weird that Richmond will melt harder than Hawthorn about this?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Do we know who's behind that account?

Ned Guy the PRGuy

No. It’s perfect.

Most important thing of this trade period from here is to hold pick 7 for the draft

Has Geelong done anything to exploit the system though? Or is the reason we can do this literally because players are choosing to play for us under market rate? If we were actually exploiting anything we would've got Hopper but we stick to our plan of not overpaying.

Yeah all good, I'm not meaning to be a pessimistic supporter, I just don't think Stephens can play/I'm 70% sure he can't play.

I'm not having a go at you, I just have a lot of doubts about him. I know it's still earlyish and he could still prove me wrong. The doors not closed yet but I haven't seen enough from him to have any confidence he will make it so I'm no longer counting that he will.

Knevitt has more time but again, serious doubts, he at least knows how to find some easy ball compared to Stephens.

Conway has shown a bit and I'm a bit more bullish about him (I wasn't excited to draft him). Dempsey has some talent, I'm hopeful he might amount to something.

I think we need to continue to rotate these guys into the 22 to see what they can do. I think they will surprise us.

Would want to hope the books are squeaky clean as will trigger a close look when everyone starts whinging
