Rumour GFC 2024 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

[Pure_Ownage]

I cant see him going anywhere unless he is uncontracted… as I cant see WC doing what Port has just done….

..and if that uncontracted move happens … I dread the thought of how many R1 picks will be involved now that the will allow two years ahead...

Then again if you are really unlucky …someone like Richmond might be on the bottom of the ladder ..and they will just put him into the PSD and you get zero...

If Richmond finish bottom the next 2 years Reid wouldn't even consider going there. He will want a successful club.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would be extremely satisfying to see one of them become an A grader at Geelong as unlikely as it is.

West Coast have a look surely

 

[Lana]

Football can be a really cruel game for those SPP and Mid season draftees, some clubs treat them as if they were disposable

 

[calder_daddy]

West Coast have a look surely

Been reported WC and Carlton the interested teams
Surely Saints have a crack too

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

which interview …link?

 

[foxdog50]

It is because they don't really exist. Pods was a massive outlier. Mitch Lewis at the Hawks via the under 18s but to even get that one decent guy you have 18 clubs churning through half a dozen Buzza's, Phoenix Foster's etc each. Best case scenario you get a Sav level player in that range. We are better off using our later picks on defenders and small/medium forwards where you stand a chance of getting an AFL level player. Key forward and gun mid will need to be either through first round picks or trade/FA.

Of course there is alot of bad ones. But there are good key forwards

Josh Treacy- Rookie
Larkey- pick 73
Chol- Rookie ( not a gun, but serves a roll Taylor Walker- 75

It's the go with every position, the higher the draft picks , they are usually better, but you can always strike a good fish with a lower pick..

I think the point is more how can we afford enough picks to satisfy WCE in order to get him. Even if OOC.

And he wouldn't want to go to PSD as a team like Richmond can and probably use their first despite his wishes.

On a side note, if he's definetely flight risk WCE are probably better off trading him before he's OOC.

 

[year of the cat]

West Coast have a look surely

Maybe back at home might see the best of him. Hopefully for G-B anyway. He was clearly a talented junior.

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

All our other rucks are either too old or too injured. It's pretty obvious we are going to have to ruck sdk if we don't bring in another readymade ruck.

I thought he looked pretty good in the ruck, and had decent clean ground level work. Add to that he can intercept mark.

Mate, if Richmond use all 8 draft picks on kids.
And then offer me $16 mil over 8 years then I'm going there. I would not care one bit if they finish on the bottom. Because that won't last long.

Having said that, they'd need to trade out 4 first round picks this year to be any chance of getting him.
And there's a reason why Pav and Nic nat never moved. Theres huge wealth to be made in W.A

Yeah good point , which clubs will actually be willing and able to pay him that. I don't think Geelong board would approve it.

Haven't watched him a lot but apparently tank and build are his weaknesses. Maybe the 5 year rookie list option makes sense because he'll take a while?

How much success did the Judd trade earn Carlton?

 

[My Tilly]

Have you never heard Josh Jenkins talk about heights?
They dont get measured. The players write down what height they are.

He admitted he'd change it each year.
Said that he had times where a player would walk up to him and he'd start laughing. "You're not as tall as is stated on your bio. I know how tall I am and you're 4cm less than what you've said".

Have to be honest, I'm not exactly 'tall' at 180cm but most of my friends are basketballers and the shortest being 6ft'2, tallest 6ft'5. They often bump into other basketballers and you know a 7 footer when you see one. Their presence is awesome.
Having met Conway, he is definitely taller than 6ft'8 and he actually has a proportionate torso.

Some people are all head (Holmes).

Yes you are tall. Why sell yourself short? The average height on men on the planet is 173cms. The average height of men in australia is less then 176 cms.

My Tilly: you are tall!

 

[My Tilly]

180cm or 5ft'11 isn't considered tall. I believe for Westerners, that is average.

Certainly when it comes to sports, the average AFL player is 187.5cm (6ft'2).

Its not average though. Its above average making you tall. Own it.

Sportsmen are far far taller then the average men. They are not a good representation of what tall is.

Mihocek. Not a superstar, but a quality premiership forward who averages almost 2 goals per game over his career.

He was a top 10 pick only a couple of years, so you wonder what has gone wrong there. Clearly has talent/potential.

If SDK is going to play ruck then we need a key defender, so maybe worth a shot? Would cost nothing.

You reckon they’ll use all 8 this year?
No chance. They’ll trade into next year, makes no sense to dilute the picks in one year.

 

[Geminicatz01]

Does anyone know much about this player?

 

[OzeSparky]

Does anyone know much about this player?

He was mentioned a couple page back, he was a back up to Treakle and when he went in the Mid season draft, he came out of his shadow and shined. Over in the WAFL.

 

[Hinkley29]

No doubt. I have my doubts whether their strategy will bear fruit. Got to say though it’s an exciting time to be a Tiger fan with this many picks leading into an apparently strong draft. At least it provides hope. I’d much rather be a Tiger fan than a Bomber who are immersed in perpetual mediocrity.

I don’t think I could stomach being a tigers fan next season. They are going to be so bad, it will be painful to watch.

WC of 2 seasons ago were almost the least competitive team I have ever seen, and the tigers of 2025 are going to be worse than that.

The fun of watching young players will have worn off by half time of round one when they are 50 points behind whoever they are playing.

No draft crop is worth going through that. I would much rather be a Bombers fan and actually enjoy watching my team be somewhat competitive.

God I hope we draw them twice
