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

[Pure_Ownage]

I’d actually much prefer to just do a deal with the dogs in good faith as we’ve usually done with clubs. But I don’t think any other clubs would take Smith in the draft. Pickering gave a good understanding of what role managers would play in these circumstances and said other clubs would not take a player they haven’t spoken to in these circumstances.

So what are the chances then of another club taking him in the pre season draft? Probably more of a risk unless he had a big price on him. But that’d mean we can also use that pick or trade it.

Psd someone would take him but he won't go there.
Nd clubs won't risk a first rounder on him hence he would go there and we get him at 17.

Honestly, I really want him because he ticks the boxes I want to tick with a backup ruckman:

• Happy to play VFL for 20 weeks of the year
• Will play for minimum AFL wage
• Can match AFL players in ruck contests
• Costs near zero in draft capital
• Leadership in the twos
• Most of all - durable

Yes, I know he'll get beaten for fitness around the ground, he'll never be an AFL ruck. But that's not what we need right now - what we need is someone who can come in for six weeks when Conway steps on a rake, and then the odd week here and there to manage workload.

Brayden is not fit enough and with his personal baggage won't get drafted despite the fact that he's a good ruck.

He is probably not a CScott type of ruck anyway… but I liked his interview..

 

[Cataholic]

well good for you.

What universe is this??!

 

[Cataholic]

Easy to do.

and good for u

Goddamn it!!

 

[Cataholic]

Cataholic I didn't know you were so uncouth

Who even am I ???

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yes .. I think the 38 for 48 pick slide ..keeps the future untouched… and lets them save a little bit of face… but if they say no to that then on their head be it...

Yeah I tend to think similar.

We’re getting some noise around potential player movement - though I guess things could change by morning

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Question without notice.

Obviously new R1 draftee get a 3-year deal on a set wage.

I know Smith can specify wage, but can he specify a term less then 3 years if R1? (assuming yes).

Could he put say... 2 million on his head for one year? or 3 million for two years and then we do the old Jack Bowes smooth it out thing?

Is that draft tampering? I actually don't know because anyone can take him if they choose.

If that can be done... man I reckon we take him with our pick 38.

Smith has to nominate a minimum 2 year contract (can't be one year) but he can nominate a really high wage for 2 years to ward off clubs hea not keen on.

 

[Turbocat]

Personally I’d take him with our second pick and then use the next 2 picks on a couple of speculative talls.

Will be interesting which way we go… how did he go at the combine . We do like guys who can do better than 6.30 and push 3…

Who we take is probably just down to what picks we have and who is available and who we like as matures and delisted..

What do Freo have to do to equalise them selves up with West Coast… Wins flags I guess. There are on the bottom and still struggle to get players to pick them..

West Coast won't downgrade from 3 to 12 for baker that would be mad. Too big a slide.
And Carlton won't get 3 with 12 and 14.
I wonder if this is where St kilda come in.
Maybe st kilda get 3, wce 7 and baker, Carlton get 8 and later picks back to the saints and between the parties?

 

[Cataholic]

Apologies all.

I'm stoned, and uncouthly horny.

Apparently.

No edit on that one. you dirty dog.

 

[cats_09]

Can't wait to see the full details

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Can't wait to see the full details

That is fait dinkum impossible.
That's a rort if Carlton get 3 for 2 teens picks. Must be another r1 in that deal for wce somewhere.

Taking it well.

 

[frggr]

God I hope Carlton pick a spud

 

[Larry Donohue]

My favourite possibility is Houston hasn't nominated a team because Wells and Mack have had him sewn up for 18 months

Baggage? A bit of coke years ago, meh.

The prophecies are true… It has been foretold!!

The mystery mid has arrived

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Well, it could be you. It could be me. I don't have any way of knowing, and frankly it doesn't matter.

Everything matters my evil friend.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

West Coast poised to do something even dumber than Port were going to do… let’s see if the Eagles list manager also reads the Cats board.

I was referring to his mum but yes that too.

 

[Hamingja]

I think McQualter has been promoted above his level to begin with but good luck being a Victorian in WA when you are looking to split pick 3 for Baker and Owies.
