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

[Warhorse]

Poor by Carlton. Must be something in the background. I would take him

 

[Pure_Ownage]

2R1's?

A deal like.... three R1's out and two R2's back seems to have worked.

Would we do that again? On form we are talking two picks verging on in the 20's.... with something back.


My preference would be to give them a player and keep the pick but we know that story. Players have traditionally said no. He is contracted.. so we will be the whipping boys to some degree. What is the attraction for GWS. SC relief so the deal is not as important? Or would they want more than a Band two comp. What are they going to get for Taranto?

Key forwards are worth more than mids so i wouldnt pay as much for hopper as jez.
On the future 1st its more my preference yes it can pay off eg holmes but it can also backfire (see coll trading an FR1 as a top 5 pick)..with our ageing list we might drop at some point so id not want to risk trading the FR1. He is worth more than 18 alone though. Id offer say 18 + 36 or 18 + a FR2 (maybe throw in our R3 if we have to) but not 18 + a future 1st. If thats their price id let them keep him or find another club.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

They traded some good future pick to get Stocker didn't they? He was playing at the end of the year so surprised he was outright delisted.

Yeah they traded with adelaide for that pick.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

they don't have the assets to get both.

They have 12 + 19 + 30 + futures so they do.
The bigger issue is whether they have the cap room for both (if they backend it they probably do).

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Don't mind Stocker at all. Tough nuggety back pocket. Would be happy to look at him as a DFA or rookie.

Considering we have no specialist small defender behind bews id consider it.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I think you'll find both us and tigers are really just chasing one player and we're each sounding out back up plans.

Taranto going to tigers and Hopper coming to us sounds like everyone is getting their number 1 preference

Agree i think hopper is our preference and taranto theirs. But they might want both in case cotchin retires and prestias body is stuffed. I think we will get one and them the other.

 

[Strange Cat]

If Hopper is a done deal I can only assume that Selwood is definitely retiring.

Been given a one year contract so I’m unsure of what will happen

 

[Strange Cat]

Mate of mine who attendeded NM b&f told me last night that B Scott told him it was a media beat up and he’s had no intention of moving...

Yeah I can imagine the kid telling people at a B&F that he will be leaving the club….

 

[Baudolino]

Richmond's season has only just ended, but the Tigers are poised to be one of the busiest club's this off-season.

Tom Browne has reported on Triple M Footy this afternoon that Richmond could land both Tim Taranto & Jacob Hopper from GWS.

It is rumoured that Taranto could offered as much as a 7-year deal, while Hopper is still firmly on their radar despite strong links to Geelong.

Browne also reported that Trent Cotchin has been offered a one-year deal to play on next year.

Didn't Barrett say Hopper to Geelong was a done deal?

 

[Cataholic]

Ralphy just reported that Richmond met with Hopper today.

They'd probably be too send Martin and his 1.3m per year somewhere else to do that

 

[BigCat1]

Tom Brown also reporting the Hopper meeting. He did say Geel still infront

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Been given a one year contract so I’m unsure of what will happen

Might be another back up plan if a deal for Hopper doesn't go through

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ralphy just reported that Richmond met with Hopper today.

Given the multitude of outcomes that can happen in a trade period makes sense to meet with any back up plan clubs/players ahead of time. I'd say just covering all the bases

It'd be smart, and courteous, to at least listen to all offers.

 

[year of the cat]

With list spots tight I’m not sure how we entertain the likes of Stocker unless we see a couple of surprise retirements. Not sure he’s good enough anyway to be honest.

 

[Commando]

Yeah I can imagine the kid telling people at a B&F that he will be leaving the club….

Have some sort of relationship via sponsorship or something but yeah I get your point

 

[foxdog50]

The reported offer for Riewoldt is $300k for next season; wondering if it may be a similar type offer for Cotchin

Hawkins and if Selwood play next year, I would say they would on roughly 300 g a year...

 

[foxdog50]

they don't have the assets to get both.

They will if Martin decides to leave

 

[Geminicatz01]

Why? Selwood has taken lower contracts to get Cameron etc in

 

[MacStradbroke]

Hawkins and if Selwood play next year, I would say they would on roughly 300 g a year...

The current All Australian captain on 300K next year

 

[foxdog50]

The current All Australian captain on 300K next year

If i was having a stab in the dark. I'd say Hawkins will be on 400g next year

 

[Cataholic]

Hardwick confirms meeting with Hopper.

 

[Drunkcat]

Selwood should retire we will have to many retiring at the end of 2023, we need to win the flag and retire Smith or Touhy or Selwood we need a oldie other than Dahlhaus and higgins to retire

 

[SkittleCats]

Hardwick meeting with Hopper probably says more about the lack of available talent that will be available this off season, especially if you are looking for plug-and-play midfielders, than it does them suddenly being favourites to get him.

We have been linked to Hopper for awhile, id imagine that is a pretty good sign that we know what it will take to get him over. The issue really is if he is worth it or not.
