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

 

[Munich]

An ITK poster on the Bulldogs board says it will be announced within 24 hours

I'm on tenterhooks.

Hurry up Baz baby.

I googled this and have not watched peaky blinders and don't know the actor. I'm pop culture illiterate

Great show

I think COS has huge bust potential.

I have a strong reluctance to drafting a defender that high. They are usually defenders as juniors for a reason.

COS isn't just a defender. Has attributes and shown in juniors he can play everywhere. Has kicked 9 in a game before too....
I would bet my house he won't be a bust as long as he doesn't suffer any serious injuries! I wouldn't be surprised to see SDK moved forward though, wasn't he highly touted as going to end up there?

I mean the direct comparison with Hawkins is one that shocks most people because at the same age (Neale hit 22 this year and Hawkins hit 22 in 2010) Hawkins and Neale were VERY similar.
View attachment 2120778

Hawkins spent more time in the ruck because it wasn't working super well in the f50 and we were copying what teams were doing by having a starting ruck and then a fwd/ruck as backup.

But While Hawkins had more marks and disposals from being up the field, their f50 stats are very very similar and thats with Neale playing 3 less games.

While I don't think Neale will do a Hawkins next year, I still think he ends up being an important forward for us.

Not only that, Hawk is an all time great.. Any comparison isn't really fair, if he is half the player Hawk was he'll be a very good player.

I only used the comparison to make the point that even he battled especially early

I'm not saying this will be the trade.

I'm asking would everyone take it if available?

I would... I do not think the Doggies will though.

Was waiting to see how many people jumped out saying "no way we trade Ted" when really it's a decent deal for us.

If BF rumours are to be believed, it sounds like we have suggested to Clohesy to explore his opportunities at the Dogs which in turn will facilitate the Bailey Smith trade. Dogs will ask for R1 + FR1, we’ll offer R1 + FR2. Eventually I can see us meeting in the middle with R1 + FR2 + Clohesy as steak knives.

Given that we’ll lose our R1 this year, I’d like to see us somehow get back in. Even if this would be to trade back in for our FR1, I’d be supportive of it.

Great show

I have three kids, a hectic job, and an addiction to football forums. I still have sopranos on my "to watch next" list

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Nother Well special at the end of the draft, 12 months from now they'll all be wondering why no one else was even looking at him

Isn't the whole GWS thing getting old for you dude?

 

[D BRIDGE]

If Clohesy goes then that's another list spot added.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Yeah I don't really get the interest in Martin. Injury history and player type.

Yep, pass please.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Looks like it's happening. Josh Barnes just mentioned on the midweek tackle that Cillian Burke from County Kerry is joining us.

any intel on him Oisin_the_Goat ?

 

[Micksy]

Spells out what?

That it's a WTF type of move.

 

[Lana]

Not a fan of RuPaul?

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Rumour on the dogs board about an out of contract geelong player touring their facilities-I would assume it's clohesy purely because the only other ooc players are bews duncan and stanley and i doubt the dogs want them.

Wow! Straight swap Duncan for Smith

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Not a fan of RuPaul?

No idea who that is. Soz if I've missed the joke lol.

 

[Munich]

Someone on the dogs board said they asked for SDK as a swap for Baz and we said no, obviously.

 

[CatRiot]

Need another Irish to replace Tuohy

Makes sense to try get one if we have a stack of late picks... may as well take some elite talent from OS.

So our R1 + Clohesy for Smith?

That seems pretty fair to me. Smith is OOC and coming of an ACL.

No Clohesy has about pick 70 at best as trade value.
It would be 15 + current r2/future 2nd and ted, and we maybe get pick 80 back or something.

I thought Clohesy was playing better footy than Clark in the VFL at the end of the year... I know Clohesy is a bit of a battler type, but he can certainly play a role in a team, he can kick goals, and tackles like a maniac. He's not puny small too.

Zero surprise

Clohesy straight swap for Garcia?

 

[catempire]

With all the talk of this years draft being strong would we consider trading the dogs our future 1st for Smith if they throw in their pick 32 from this year?

I know it’s a risk

Contrary to what you will see written here, clubs are happy to back themselves in not sliding next year. The reluctance to trade future firsts is that it limits your options in the subsequent year’s trade period.

Collingwood’s weak hand this year after trading for Schultz last year is a prime example. They are effectively out of play for any big target this trade period.

So Geelong probably wouldn’t do the deal you suggest there as they want to go into the 2025 trade period with maximum options.

That's polite.

Should have been more blunt.

Surely it can be both though right? The risk has a much higher range of outcomes, including increased trade value of the selection.

Colin Farrell

Can’t play but can fight.

In theory? Of course.

Would Geelong be worried about losing on the value of the pick? I very much doubt it.

I wouldn't have expected violence. Laughter yes.

In the unlikely event violence was needed i assume SHocking would just call in AFL headquarters to send some hired goons with umpire Brett Rosebury there to do some explanation of how they are going to get their heads kicked.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I like Clohesy but he would get a lot more opportunity at the bulldogs than here. The trade would work for all 3 parties.

Depends whether he wants to play midfield full time (which he wont get at the dogs) or is happy to play fwd which he will get there but wont ger here behind our 4 small fwds.
