Rumour GFC 2024 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 2

[cats_09]

Ask and we'll try our best to assist - so here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

As normal, would like to acknowledge & thank Lore for creating this, keeping it up to date and making it available for all users on BF to use and keep track of the picks ahead of the upcoming draft





I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader

 

[And_ROOS]

Christ imagine the melts from Adelaide if we took the last two great #32s that they have had. They might have to retire the number.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I don't think he plays much like Neale. Stronger body good at protecting space, good overhead. Neale plays more lead up and roaming option as well as second ruck

You cant play them both plus henry though.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I’ve heard Fogs name come up multiple times here now.
Anyone got his contract status?

If he going to be OOC or RFA?

RFA.

"CLUBS LOCK AWAY RUCK OPTIONS
THE RUCK merry-go-round continues to thin, with Collingwood's Oscar Steene and Fremantle's Liam Reidy among the untried talls on the cusp of re-signing at their current clubs.

Steene and Reidy both attracted a handful of interest from ruck-needy clubs across the competition, though the Pies and the Dockers are in advanced negotiations to lock away both players to respective one-year extensions.

Clubs have been determined to secure their depth ruck options before the season finishes, given the dearth of quality big men likely to move throughout the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.

Steene and Reidy will join the likes of Carlton's Hudson O'Keeffe, Greater Western Sydney's Nick Madden and Essendon's Vigo Visentini in being re-signed across recent months despite not yet playing an AFL game.

Clubs scouring the ruck market are instead likely to turn their focus towards contracted options that could include Sydney's Peter Ladhams (who is signed until 2025), Essendon's Nick Bryan (2025), Hawthorn's Ned Reeves (2026) and Carlton's Marc Pittonet (2027).

Western Bulldogs star Tim English remains the best unsigned ruck on the market and has attracted significant interest from West Coast as a restricted free agent, but appears likely to stay at the Whitten Oval. – Riley Beveridge

Until the official name of Reidy resign. There is still hope we can get him

Walking the dog on the weekend with my reliable source of info again.
We shall banter a little more deeply me thinks.
I will say let's not get too focused on OOC/FA and in particular A graders.

Sounds like Rhyan Mansell is almost a lock at the Cattery in 2025, then.

I would love Geelong to try and get him. Just got dropped from Gold Coast this round.. Would play him as Key Forward any day of the week. But I think he would cost to much as him in contract

 

[frggr]

Rankine's extended, so he's not our mystery forward

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

2022 makes some sense for us to be interested in him.. We didn't have OH yet and weren't sure how Neale would pan out.

2024 though not sure why we would need him unless we have given up on Neale.

Why we giving up on Neale he just starting to get good

 

[Klink]

Club certainly isn't giving up on him. 15-games in, a full season next year and look out in 2026.

 

[Warhorse]

Waterman was never happening and Geelong were not a serious player in those discussions.

Outside of Bailey Smith I'm really not sure and have not heard a lot.

Not a lot of "free hit" midfielders around so we'd need to trade and I'm not sure we have the draft capital after a Smith first rounder goes to the Dogs - unless the right player is available and we are prepared to trade a future pick. So that really just leaves salary and player dumps in trade period by other clubs if they're trying to clear space to bring other players in (like Bowes and the Suns a few years back). There's generally a few left field surprises so let's hope Geelong are on the receiving end and bring a good player in for peanuts.

All my sources are West based so I hear things - I reported we were into Nash as I was told we went pretty hard for him.

I did hear we were chasing one of Fremantles defenders but not sure which one.

Luke Ryan or Alex Pearce please - but doubt the captain moves on

 

[Strange Cat]

Hey we lent them Gore for abit that makes up for it

Surely Brennan Cox

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Why not? Fogarty is a FF, Neale a CHF. Henry isn't either of those things

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Surely Brennan Cox

Nah hes signed til like 2030.
And Pearce is their captain so i doubt hes going. And we wouldnt want oscar mcdonald.

 

[Warhorse]

I'm guessing one of Brandon Walker, Joshua Draper or hopefully someone like Heath Chapman. I haven't been told any names though

All of those guys are signed til 2027 and are largely locals so i doubt it.
The only player i think it maybe could be is worner but i wouldnt want him.

Jack Lukosius

So if Lukosius is heading to Crows and Thilthorpe has a Key forward spot locked down, does that make Fogarty the odd one out?

Maybe Crows know he wants to go?

 

[Footy Smarts]

I'd be happy with Fogarty as a free agent. But I'm not sure he's the type you should be spending a first rounder on.

And with him being a restricted free agent it's hard to see Adelaide accepting a band 2-3 compensation when they could match and get us to cough up the equivalent of a late first.

Depends if they get lukosius. They land lukosius they have no where to play Fogarty. Plus Welsh coming in as a 3rd tall

 

[And_ROOS]

So we give them pick 33 and "loan" them James Willis.
