Rumour GFC 2023 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt II

[cats_09]

Yep, this is making an appearance here also, and probably getting more useful as the season draws to a close and this discussion ramps up

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

When is the mystery mid trade happening? And where is our replacement ruck for Stanley..

 

[Jumping Jack]

Billings to Melbourne.

Maybe Mackie is planning on trading out of this draft and into 24 draft. Maybe that's why he wanted the later picks?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

What's Savs connection to Port Adelaide anyway? He got family in SA?

No links outside of former players like Narkle and Evans

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

I think Sav is a spud. Port have gone all in with average players and wasted 3 years of draft picks. It'll backfire.

How would he go playing on Hawk or Jezza?
Our boys would have a field day……

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

Who are Melbourne and GWS after ? They'd know we want Sanders... and I guess if they accepted the upgrade trade it would indicate they don't want Sanders anyway so what's the point.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Sydney cleaned up getting Grundy and Adams. Exactly what we needed a ruck and inside mid.

 

[AM]

I get that "Mack" is new to the media role but his 8-minute interview on our website and that interview have been unimpressive in my view. You always felt confident SW was on top of things.

 

[Warhorse]

I don't think we are targeting Sanders. Why hint and show your hand - there must be someone else they are targeting

 

[CoolCat75]

Meh, no melts from me. Do I think Sav was with about 5 selections earlier, based on the Port need? - yes.

But Sav is not in my best 22 when all of Henry, Kolo and SDK are fit. Good interceptor, yes. But still struggled defensively, and was a below average distributor.

So take the 25 and move on. Small steak knives but at least the last 4 picks in the draft might be Geel, Geel, Port, Port rather than reverse.

That’s 6 list spots. Draft 8(9), 25(29), 54 & 55. Upgrade Dempsey and leave 1 spot free for SSP, mid-season draft or nothing.

Packup and enjoy summer. (Still can’t believe last years haul BTW)

 

[catempire]

This trade was ALWAYS going centre around 25. The sooking is hilarious.

 

[Turbocat]

Was all the argy bargy worth it? Not for mine. We had no hand and in the end were shown up as having no hand.

Id say either mackie got schooled...or more likely he was just the whipping boy for someone else that did not want to let Sav go. cause we gained little and lost face by not just trading him asap.

25 is probably more than many thought we would get ....its the 25th best available kid in the draft.

8 and 25 we can get some thing with that.

Mackies comment about replacing mids..... we will see i guess. We have just lost Sav. Not far from losing Hawk, and Stanley.... etc.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Good luck to Sav
Played some good games for Geelong and despite the brain fades gave 110%

 

[hamG]

and was a below average distributor.

Well now this makes me curious who is qualified as a below below average distributor.

When?

 

[Vivy]

Annoying the s* out of Kane was such a highlight

The s***fits he had over this were great.

 

[Grimoz]

We all need to be realistic, Sav has been a whipping boy on here for a while and would have been shipped off ages ago if we were list managers, sure he has improved his game but if Port think they are getting a star then they are going to be bitterly disappointed, not only is he extremely inconsistent but injures himself at the drop of a hat, win for Geelong to be honest.

Amen!

 

[Willo_]

My mail is the delays were caused by Port and Port alone.
We were open to get it moving, Port wouldn't get back to us...
Watching Mack on Trade Radio there only backs it up as well


Port are shit to deal with and it's not a coincidence that all their deals are taking till the last day

 

[cats_09]

Making Port's first pick 112, if only we could have pushed that back 5 more...

117?

 

[year of the cat]

We won’t but if we were to hold our picks then I’d go something like this -

8 - Sanders or Curtin (reckon there’s a 50% chance one will fall). If both gone next best for me is O’Sullivan.

25 - Hastie - he’ll land around here in the draft.

76 - Philactides - well regarded as a bottom aged player last year. Gone off the radar a bit this year but will make a useful small defender imo.

87 - George Stevens - reckon there’s a chance he goes undrafted. Happy to roll the dice on him this late in the draft if we don’t take Sanders earlier.

I think the 2 later picks will be mature age state league players.

You're right, I doubt we keep what we have.

If it's all dependent on Sanders, then we'll either trade up to get him or down if he's not there/clubs asking for too much.

I actually reckon Norf would do their 3 teens picks for 8 on its own. They don't care about the quantity of youth at this point, they need the real topliners.

If Sanders or Curtin are there, take the pick. If they're gone, trade down and hope someone like Wilson is available.

 

[Two Planks]

For Curtin or Sanders to be there at 8, we need teams above us to pick both Caddy and O'Sullivan, who are the likeliest candidates for those 2.

 

[year of the cat]

The Dutch guy we had in the VFL will now surely be looked at. Was thinking more as a rookie though than in the main draft.
