[Baudolino]

Stephen Rowe was adamant again on his radio show tonight that PA were into a speedy cat's small fwd from Geelong. And an announcement would be soon. Assuming soon as the cat's are done in the finals....

If it's Stengle or Close I'll be shattered.

 

[Grimoz]

If it's Stengle or Close I'll be shattered.

Not a chance in hell....i still think it might be Miers.

 

[hamG]

If it's Stengle or Close I'll be shattered.

Both contracted

A lot of names available for Port

 

[Grimoz]

Why wait until after finals to announce if its not someone in the current side

 

[cats_09]

Yep - I think you're on the money there

And we'd likely accommodate a trade also, especially if we were only looking at a potential 1-yr extension just to see how he'd go after a pre-season & full year with the group - the idea there's some uncertainty about his future at the club

But if we're certain about Zane stepping it up next season & becoming a regular senior player, we'd likely put up resistance

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Because it's a d* move regardless.

 

[thecatattack]

Not a chance in hell....i still think it might be Miers.

Why would Miers who is, from Geelong played for Mary's and Grovedale and then Falcons and now plays for Geelong, is a best 22 player and his GF is from Geelong, leave us for an Adelaide team?

 

[Hamingja]

Ignorant Adelaide folk calling Narkle a small forward, nothing surer.

 

[Commando]

Do we think Evans is certainly gone?
I think he’s ok but I suppose he’s surplus to needs

Can Scott be considered for midfield? Don’t know much about him but remember he was highly touted

Not sure why we'd dump Evans so early.

I think Scott is a clear cut winger but all our wingers are old and will be gone soon so he seems like a great replacement in a seasons time.

Agree about Evans. Has def upside that hasn’t really had a chance yet

 

[cats_09]

Well then we might as well delist them.

We could do that, but trading a player for a late/throwaway pick to the club of their choice can be easier transition than dealing via the DFA option - it's done quicker & makes for a smoother transition

It also provides better optics for both clubs involved, rather than either or both clubs looking like dicks who don't want to do a deal

He's been on the list for 3 years, was something of a speculative pick at the time and maybe he just hasn't come on as the club hope he would

No doubt the interruptions during 2020 & 21 didn't help, but sometimes tough calls have to be made

Maybe but I think we'll be putting Dempsey and Knevitt on the wing soon enough with others like Kroeger, Stevens, Willis also potentially having a crack

If we're trading out a 2nd rounder I'd hope for a more inside type

We seen to really churn the bottom end of the list too. If we don't see a senior footballer we release to industry

We're in for Bailey Scott according to the Herald Sun. The article implies we may already have the deal over the line.

Scotty said in his presser today that he didn't know anything about Bailey Scott. He added that he would be surprised if a journalist knew more than he did. He seemed pretty genuine in his denial too. Not saying it won't happen of course. Maybe B Scott isn't big enough a name for the list management team to bring to Scotty before our premiership run idk.

Reckon we are aiming to pull off something big during this trade period though. I have no evidence to back this feeling up, just that after the journalist asked about Bailey Scott, Scotty said something like "Great who else?" It felt like he was giving the journalists the hint that the Cats are hustling this trade period and have an actual big target in mind (no offence to Bailey Scott). He seemed pretty excited about something too but then all of us Cattery are excited about our current form so it could be possible premiership-joy not possible big trade-joy.

Yeah I’m not for trading out/delisting a second rounder after 3 years- 2 of which have been a mess as mentioned by cats_09

He’s shown enough in his afl games to convince me he’s worth persisting with. Particularly considering he played forward pocket which can be a graveyard. Has footy nous which you can’t really train.

Feel he might be squeezed out though which will be a shame

A bit but I also think his foot speed might be a fatal flaw.

I'm not saying Chris Scott is lying... but he definitely wouldn't be giving much away in saying were into him ... he will be thinking just play test cricket and defend that question as his only thinking finals

? Nothing springs to mind on him being exciting young player...

 

[Moley Russels Wart]

Young Roo set to follow Dad’s footsteps​

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.

Why? Where are we playing him? You'd have to **** of Bews Tuohy or O'Conner for him to get a game

I still rage at GWS for the whole Jezza fiasco during grand final week

 

[Pods]

A bit but I also think his foot speed might be a fatal flaw.

Could be but Chappy and Stevie J weren’t overly fast; they had footy smarts.

Feel he’s got the same.

How many years was Chappy on this list before he really came through..

 

[BIGANT]

Ignorant Adelaide folk calling Narkle a small forward, nothing surer.

The PA board absolutely despise our fwds absolutely hate!

 

[petrolium]

Silly season seems to arrive earlier each year. We very rarely lose players we want to keep. Close and Miers were both fanatic Geelong fans growing up (even though Close is from Mt Gambier SA), and are well integrated within our team. If true, seems most likely Zane Williams… Evans ain’t speedy. He goes with our blessing.
