I highly doubt a bloke we picked up in a mid season draft is the one that’s making headlines as Hinkley’s man he’s chasing from Geelong lol. 99.9% of people haven’t even heard of him. Makes much more sense that they’re chasing Close or even Evans
It doesn't have to be a big name to make a click bait headline. He made the headline without naming the player.
 
If we got offered a pick for Williams we'd be laughing.

We got him in the MSD and he hasn't played a game for us. We'd basically be given a free draft pick.

Comprehension skills struggling here I take it. Nowhere have I written him off at all.

For each BP reference you just show yourself to be a petty fool.
As geelong_crazy26 highlighted on Saturday. So still not learning from your day off

Stick to the topic and leave comment about what happens to other posters out of it.

Think you'd have learnt that by now.

Go Catters
 
Is there any guarantee Ceglar stays on?? He's only signed for this season, right?

Let's say Cegs does go and then we get rid of Tsap.

Bring in Grundy and we have Grundy #1, Stanley as a backup in case of injury, Conway developing and Blitz as a pinch hitter. Seems like the perfect situation to me.
Ceglar is contracted for next season, not very often a player changes clubs on a 1 year deal. I’d say after hardly playing this season he’d be keen to put some games in next year as well.

Hang on.

I made a perfectly OT comment that I am yet to be sold on Neale. He likely is starved of opportunities in the short term.

Get met with an incorrect reading of the remark that I’ve written him off and then probably the 3rd time since his day off he makes it about Parfitt. A player I don’t rate but don’t take others to task for rating yet weekly get cheeky drive by’s when he has a “good” game for his low “standards”.

And the part you take umbrage with is pointing out that the unprovoked clips have resulted in time off. Maybe some consistency thanks.

I will defend myself always, thought you’d have learnt that by now.
 
I didn’t see the vfl game that Williams played back and got some good disposal numbers in. But otherwise I’ve seen nothing to indicate we should retain him on the rookie list let alone that another club would be interested.

I’m sure other clubs are keen on a few of our players and the small forwards are going well. Stengle, Close and Miers seem pretty unlikely to move at the moment. I’m sure if they got a big deal they’d have a think about it but otherwise can’t see them going anywhere. The other smalls could go but can’t imagine it’d be news worthy of a club was ‘chasing’ a vfl player.

Next year I can see us rotating Stanley and Ceglar based on who the oppo ruckmen was. Stanley for athletic, Ceglar for tap, or both for a Gawn/Jackson combo.
 
Has Grundy shown he can play forward?

I can't really recall.

I doubt we will get him with Cegalr and Stanley still contracted next season anyway.

If we did, maybe Grundy is the #1 ruck for about two years and then pushes forward more when Hawkins hangs them up and Conway (fingers crossed) becomes ready to take over as a pure leading ruckman.

I just don't see it working if Grundy can't play forward... Because we don't necessarily need him next year in the ruck and then with Conway coming through, we may not need him in the last couple of years of his contract (unless played forward).

Time will tell.

I rate Grundy, but it just doesn't mesh for mine unless it's just such a good deal for us that we can't say no.

Not sure if you've been to SA mate, but it doesn't take much to make headlines over there.
 
We're in for Bailey Scott according to the Herald Sun. The article implies we may already have the deal over the line.

Geelong is poised to pinch Bailey Scott from North Melbourne in an early blow for new coach Alastair Clarkson.

The Cats have been in dialogue with Scott’s management for some time and may have already convinced the 22-year-old dasher to change clubs before Clarkson was appointed.

Scott had the option of joining the Roos and Geelong as a father-son selection in 2018, because his dad, Robert, played more than 100 games for both clubs – but he was also eligible as an Academy pick for Gold Coast.

It’s understood North Melbourne has offered him a multi-year contract to stay.

Scott averaged a career-most 18 disposals in 21 senior appearances in a new defensive role this season but can also slot in on a wing or across half-forward.

He bought a home in Altona, which is only a 50-minute drive to Geelong.

Industry sources believe Scott would be worth a pick in the second or third round, but the latter would be a disappointing result for the Kangaroos after developing him for four years.

The Cats are also linked with contracted Giants midfielder Jacob Hopper and Collingwood ruckman Brodie Grundy, so they could be major players in the trade period.

 
Maybe, depends on the pick. I can't see us getting a better player on the flipside of it but maybe one who is positionally closer to b22

Wed get nothing more than say pick 70ish for evans (or wiliams for that matter) but its about clearing a list spot for trades and draft.

He has stagnated but the ability is there. We were into him pre him nominating north so it doesnt surprise. If its cheap (ie one of our R3s) i can live with it.
 
From Port's perspective this makes no sense, why would they pay a premium for such a speculative pick

They wont pay a premium it will be a late pick we wont even use (say future 4th). He is ooc so we have no hand here.
