Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1

[Catman]

Are they still a thing.

Only when we play them at Marvel.

 

[Strange Cat]

Clever wording "never been offered for a trade"
Doesn't exclude that he may have been encouraged to look elsewhere or that the Club has explored options.....
Shit culture......

Managers just protecting their position seen it time and time again in my working life it’s never a good culture to be around

[Commando]

Saints getting pick 8 in the draft as compensation for losing Josh Battle. What a joke! Battle is barely an above average player. He averages 16 disposals a game.

Mackie made a good point in that the First Round of draft should be quarantined from compensation and each club gets its pick

 

[frggr]

Lol I’ve noticed this too… almost a 1980’s style approach we run with

Yeah, I'm glad you agree.

I don't mind the Dogs as a team, but it just feels a bit "country footy club" or as you put it "1980s approach".

If they softened up the "us against the world" mentality I reckon they'd do a lot better on and off the field

In reality every photo in that post should be of the player carrying a premiership cup, that would have been the ultimate flex

 

[Commando]

Geelong's first round pick has slipped to 17 and will probably slip further before free trade period is over at the end of the week. Are the Dogs going to be happy with pick 17 for BS?

This is why it's beneficial to trade players out a year early

Judging by the way a large portion of their supporters have carried on in the Smith threads, they don't deserve to come away happy with this trade.

Mackie had the straight bat of an Australian number 3 batsman in that interview about MFC and Oliver. Incredible.

Unless it's Tim Kelly - in which case you can wait til he's out of contract and the Eagles think they're one player off another flag

A NSW Journalist …probably still floating in a panther cloud of delusion …or alternativly … doesnt know the difference between a Tom and a Sam and Cat and a Blue

He went bananas and actually increased his value in that year
Not many do..
BS injury sent him the other way

If Saints get pick 8 for Battle then Neal-Bullen is worth pick 4, i know who id prefer to have, crows have done well out of that trade

 

[Warhorse]

I would much rather Battle.

 

[My Tilly]

Neal-Bullen is a bloody ordinary footballer.
With pick 28, they will find a better player in this year's draft.

 

[Grimoz]

I would much rather Battle.

Personally i dont rate him, Neal-Bullen much more impactful.

 

[Warhorse]

Who?

He's a nice little player and the Lions have depth in that area of the ground

 

[Warhorse]

What position?

Back flank or wing.
