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

[BORIS332]

Ahh McClure moving the goalposts, first he said North didn't have to worry because WCE wouldn't take him, now McClure is saying "OH YEAH BUT WHAT I MEANT WAS HARLEY WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE".

I don’t like McClure as much as the next person, but that is not what he said.

I don’t like McClure as much as the next person, but that is not what he said.

Which part?

This is what McClure said prior to last year's draft:

“I just don’t think West Coast will pick him (Reid),” he said on the Tradies podcast.

“I wouldn’t do the deal if I’m North.

“You’ve got two and three, right. Just say (to West Coast) ‘pick him, go on’. Don’t (North Melbourne) want pick one? No, you’re not going to pick him, we don’t want it. We’re going to get him at two.”

This was going during the week when signing off from his radio gig for the final time:



"Harley Reid should never have been selected by the West Coast Eagles and he won't finish his career there"

Should North Melbourne call West Coast's bluff on Harley Reid pick?

“I’m telling you, they’re not going to pick him.”

One day BORIS332 will get something right and it will be glorious.

Anyway, let's hope McClure's magic carpet for Reid leads him down to the Cattery.

Aboriginals are somewhat more athletic and better suited to playing both footy codes of AFL and NFL in Australia compared to the rest of us Aussies. As an example, there's 8% of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander players in the AFL compared to 3.8% of the total Australian population. But also 'surprisingly' to my understanding that there is 12% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander that play in the NRL..... so the boys sure can play footy!

I hate being that guy but neither of these (and I presume by NFL you mean NRL) are footy codes. They are both leagues not an actual sport.

I wouldn't mind knowing how many contacts Wells has in SA. Loves a player from Norwood, Sturt and Glenelg in particular.

More specifically it feels like all his Norwood boys are Eyre Peninsula lads. They just go to Norwood because that's the zone. Polkinghorne, Taheny, Jarvis, Kennerly, .... Enright

 

[CHAWKTS]

Think he is in the NFL as the New Orleans Saints punter now.

He might wish he was back being coached in the AFL

This is a good spray!

Looking at that hope we are due to strike gold again - three misses since Enright

Add in Foster x 2 and Stringer.

Also, trying to remember who the other foster is and googling Foster Geelong Cats produces a lot of opportunities to adopt a cat

Edit: ahhhh Dan Foster

Dan is Phoenix’s uncle.

EP bats well above it’s average. Only a population of 30 000.

Melbourne have got on the bandwagon of late. Petts and Chandler

Yes, you're technically correct, but functionally, we know what he/she meant.

I'd say it's a bit more than that, Whyalla and Pt Lincoln alone add up to 35k. Can't recall Whyalla producing an afl player either and it's the biggest town in the region.

How could I forget Weetra, used to work work with his nephew. A few more than I remember.

Beautiful part of the country too, if you like fishing, surfing, farming.

The OP said that McClure said "now McClure is saying "OH YEAH BUT WHAT I MEANT WAS HARLEY WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE". He never said that's what he originally meant, he was simply making a secondary prediction.

 

[foxriverinmate]

ive just heard from close sources ben rongdit was out for 3 months pre futures game with a serious syndesmosis injury and surgery. can we confirm if he is healthy now?

 

[CatRiot]

One the cats fans I know here, reckons he is on a good source that SDK is gone at end of next season... I don't think it's true though.

Certainly could be a live possibility.

Plenty of water to go under the bridge.

Yeah, but he reckons he is going to Carlton to play with TDK... And that is not possible given their salary cap issues. Sam Walsh anyone.

Pretty sure it's already been noted that Walsh has no interest in a move to Geelong


Besides, the SDK out rumours have been going on for 6 months with the strongest suggestion that the brothers will unite at a 3rd club

Pretty confident will remain at cats

 

[Footy Smarts]

The SDK stuff feels similar to the Holmes rumours last year. That was all overblown in the end.

Hopefully he signs up as early as Holmes ultimately did

Hopefully he takes off like Holmes did too!
