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

 

[Commando]

But whats his best position , i read somewhere , maybe the Bulldogs board , that his best position is the wing

As an opposition supporter to be honest ive watched very little of him so ive got no informed view

Interesting on the Bulldogs board , a couple of their posters did say he absolutely butchers the ball by foot

he's shown ability in the midfield but has had limited opportunities there
If we got him in we'd find a spot for him that's for sure

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Hang on a sec, let's put aside even the stuff we read in here and the Bellbrae rumours.

After Morris, Barrett, Clark, Twomey, Ralph, & Cleary have all declared it's either certainly Geelong - or almost certainly Geelong - we're worried about an instagram post that we don't even know exists, that even if it did, doesn't prove anything?

Come on guys, we're better than this (well, at least I hope we are).

It'll happen, it's just a question of how much now.

Earlier, News Corp’s Callum Dick revealedin an exclusive report that Andrew had agreed to a mammoth deal that could be worth as much as $12 million over nine years.

Crazy money, Thankfully we don't see the cats take risks like this.

I really hope we never give someone that long of a contract even a superstar like Danger or Cameron.

5 years with a trigger for a 6th should be plenty long enough for any player.

 

[Hinkley29]

Cornes x 2 I knew, Burgoyne probably a good shout as couldn't think of another Port midfielder

The stats from that game are pretty wild.

Gaz had 19 possessions (only 9 kicks). Port had 3 players with more than 10 kicks. Just bizarre.

What could go wrong !!

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Nah he always posts that grey cat as wewell.

I think they're different cats

 

[Warhorse]

Lawson Humphries and Ollie Dempsey say hello.

The discussion was in the context of the midfield.

Exactly the comments constantly wheeled out during 2006 and that aged well

Time will tell and only time will be correct.

Do you think Bruhn is projecting to be a star? A B Grader is still a good player

We're taking Bailey Humphrey with a 1st for our future 3rd aren't we?

Na that is old news with extra future trading coming in soon.

We are getting him with 3 firsts for 3 3rds

They're betting a lot that there will be a large increase in the next rights deal.

Wouldn't it be a shame if gambling advertisement goes the way of cigarette advertisement

If I've learned anything about Australian governance post 2010 it's to always bet against change that doesn't favour the money

 

[Mr Meow]

Bruhn, Knevitt and Clark have not shown enough to suggest they will be anything other than B Graders.

Poor form including Bruhn in with those two. He's completed (without in game injury) not many more than 30 games as an AFL midfielder. Has shown plenty for that experience level.

I'm hopeful in this space, though I think the death of free to air tv will make it redundant.

 

[FootyLad0]

I think we end up losing around 8-10 players with retirements, de-listings, and players moving on

So Smith + 3-4 draftees would mean a couple more trade ins, delisted FA or preseason pickups pickups

I've seen Jayden Laverde as name thrown in with Cats mentioned. Jumping Jack have you seen/heard anything on it?
I'm not his biggest fan but i'm also not a recruiter/Cats front office member so my opinion on him means diddly squat

 

[stac]

The discussion was in the context of the midfield.

kinda depends on what you consider to be a star


For a 22 year old inside mid l think he is projecting well
A potential league top 10 inside mid maybe/maybe not

Oliver was a star not so anymore may become a star again but no one knows

Tim Kelly wasn’t even on a list but then was given an opportunity and a lot would have called him a star
is he still??? Debatable

Look back at the cats
James Kelly looked like the best of the young mids early but in most people’s eyes was passed by Jimmy and obviously GAZ

Time will tell

I have many questions but must are variations of why?

Exactly, is this just another Waterman situation to pump up his value/dollars or is it genuine interest? I was shocked to hear it. Doesn't seem like our type of player.

Out of 100%... how confident Smith is coming to Geelong

Evening all I rarely post but I read the comments and enjoy the input. At the risk of amusing Gee Class Loco I can say from what I’ve heard we should be supremely confident about Bailey Smith. In my world I heard the property settled south of Geelong last month. The deal started 18 months ago when the coach was asked.

Also as I find it amusing that Jake Stringer is shopping himself around again. I may have heard that when we went for him he chose Essendon because a couple of things. They offered him 50k more per year but the thing two things that swayed him was playing with Joe Daniher and his bonus of 150k if he finished in the top five of their b@f. He skipped the crunch meeting with two of our players at a Williamstown cafe when the crunch came.

While I’m at it as silly as it sounds I also may have heard that the demons enquired about Andrew Brayshaw with the obvious link but were told if he was to move that we were more than a strong chance. I’m not as solid on this one but may well find out a little more on Friday night. I’ll leave you all be to chat away, thanks again I thoroughly enjoy the content….go cats.

We don't need his type of player all this is is his manager trying to get a better contract by linking him to us.

He does not replace anyone in our team.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Where would Joel Corey sit on your scale?

Bruhn's progression looks pretty similar to Corey as a genuine inside mid who finished 9th in our B&F in his 4th season when we were terrible in 2003. Without injuries Bruhn would've pushed the top 10 in a much better team.

I don't see any reason why Bruhn couldn't win a B&F in a couple of years (Corey did in his 6th season) or be an AA midfielder in time. He's a pretty complete footballer with his attack on the footy, 2-way work ethic and elite foot skills.

Yeah basically my opinion on it below.

[Footy Smarts]

Laverde is basically Kolodjashnij without the defensive ability. Absolutely no way do we have space for him on our list.

 

[FootyLad0]

Dogs fans now parroting, "Once we get two First Round Picks for Smith, we'll give them to Port for Houston"

They're adamant they are getting two firsts

Is your name Andrew?
