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

 

[cats_09]

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.

Bailey VDH?

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

Sydney are my early tip for the flag.

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.

I thought the opposite.

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

When have we said we're targeting Sanders?

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'm similar but Stevens will be gone before then. As long as we get Hastie or Lual I'm happy.

Port will definitely dump hayes and lycett so i wouldnt be surprised if we signed one for ruck cover much as id like a better ruck-D grade cover is better than no cover. So good point.

How Come you're avoiding my question?

Bailey VDH?

Yeah the Dutch guy!

 

[cats_09]

Yeah the Dutch guy!

I like the nickname, and that even though it's the first time I've heard him called that, we all knew who you meant

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Yeah the Dutch guy!

If you're not dutch you're not much. Hey Vdubs

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

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

There never was a mystery mid. I don’t know who it was but someone on here just made it up unfortunately and rolled with it.

That was Ian Pelham.

You can just upgrade rookies - don't need to use draft picks to do so

So do you think we use those last two picks? Which will be in the 60s I suppose by the time everyone passes.

I wonder whether we do get rookies or late draft. They only difference is a 1 year vs 2 year contract?

They'll be earlier.

Yeah because 25 right at the start of trade period wasn't enough so Mackie wanted draft picks equalling zero draft points to get it done but it was all Ports fault!!!

Don't worry about it, mate. Go outside. Smell some fresh air. Touch some grass. You'll be okay.

You picked up 4 potatoes and used 2 years of draft picks. You'll be OK.

 

[Mr Gui Guojie]

Your club just haggled the entire period to get some 4th rounders thrown in with the BZT and Duursma deal. You forfeited your right to take the moral high ground.

For a contracted player worth more than what we got. You got overs right off the bat with 25.

You sound angry.

 

[Mr Meow]

Been travelling our wonderful country for the last 4 months champ

And you're still this tightly wound up?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I just pointed out some deranged poster, hardly wound up

Given you used the word champ I strongly disagree.

 

[Warhorse]

When have we said we're targeting Sanders?

I admittedly haven't watched Mackie and am basing it on what others have said in this thread

Cool story

Time to run on - unless you've got some butter chicken to share...

We're too smart to give away trade targets in the media. I've heard others say it but I'm yet to see a direct quote.

I'll have a plate.

Thanks for coming...now on your way

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Good for you, champ

I am a champ. I've got 119 reasons why.

 

[Cataholic]

Good for you, champ

Highway 119 is that way ------>

Safe travels champ.

 

[cats_09]

CAN WE ALL MOVE ON FROM THE "CHAMP" TALK

please

 

[CHAWKTS]

I am a champ. I've got 119 reasons why.

I would have liked you to have written Champ 119 times - would have been great for effect.

But yes the number was too big!
