Rumour GFC 2024 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

[Two Planks]

If Neale doesn't improve his marking and competitiveness quickly, he will be playing Wafl in 2026

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Let's throw overs at Bont and see if he blinks.

More chance of getting LeBron out of the Lakers

 

[year of the cat]

If we retain our picks then a kid called Travaglia who played for Vic Country today would be worth a look. Not sure an intercept marking half back is top of our needs but the kids a jet.

 

[CatRiot]

We should've gone hard for TDK...

Does amazing things.

Let's draft Bronny then and see what happens!

We did.

Getting Smith is the only viable option for a trade this year imo. Young, as cheap as he will ever be in his career and immediately impacts our weakest part on the ground.

LDU too expensive this year as North could wait to get a better pick next year. Clayton Oliver

would be to expensive with his red flags and huge contract.

Get Smith this year, LDU as a free agent end of next year and flag in 2026.

... whats your opinion we would have to cough up for Smith?

Our 1st round pick imo

 

[Two Planks]

If we miss finals this year as I expect us to, I'd prefer to keep our first round selection

Any updates on the apparent interest in Connor Nash, or just wait and see?

Sounds like he was out the door until Carlton upped their offer

Not sure we could have done much more

Honestly... Why would we waste our time in picking in Nash... His a average player, and I'd rather give games to our younger players then picking Nash up imo

 

[foxdog50]

Our 1st round pick imo

Next question... Who retires and gets delisted in your opinion. Then who do you think the club will delist and retire players

25 years old.
198cm point of difference.
Wins contested ball and clearances.
Tackles hard.
Is Irish and athletic for size.
Is a Free Agent.
Potential Blitz replacement.

 

[bombersboy]

To me Hardie and Foster - gone. Murdock is borderline

Foster is only 19. he is slow but is a decent mark and a good kick.

 

[bombersboy]

Hardies gone bc of age and bc they arent playing him.

Foster is gone bc guys like bradtke are doing more than him.

I wouldnt have a problem if we delisted murdoch but also we lack kpds in development-id probably keep one of him or jeka but not both.

Bradtke has had a couple of years development at Richmond plus a couple of years in our VFL side.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Foster is only 19. he is slow but is a decent mark and a good kick.

Averages 5.9 disposals and 1 goal this year.

Potential Blitz replacement, with a average of 1.2 hitouts a game? A big pass for me... rather believe in Stevens, Knevitt who is 193cm, and other kids coming threw

 

[Strange Cat]

I hope the club is planning on Cadwell when he’s available…once Hawkins is gone Neale is going to struggle in that role imo

He is not being used as a second ruck.. hence why the low tap numbers.

You asked why would we waste our time picking Nash.

The answer to that would be that if we are looking into him (totally unsure if we are) that it would be to play the Blitz role as a mobile second ruck that can give Conway a spell and then follow up as a 198cm midfielder that is very decent In the contest once the ball hits the ground.

If Stevens and Knevitt were 198cm... I'd agree with you, but they aren't and I don't think they will ever be playing as a long term 2nd ruck option.

If we don't want him as a Blitz mk2 then I'd be fine passing on him.

And thanks for your opinion ..
But for me it's a easy No for me.

Cadman?

 

[D BRIDGE]

He's a 198cm Bruhn... Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Being a FA and 198cm has it's advantages though.

I doubt the speculation is true but who knows.
